"In addition, my current work towards my M.Ed in Curriculum and Instruction gives me insight into the best methods to use to achieve student success. My clients have ranged from elementary students who need help with reading comprehension to college students preparing for the GRE. I have taught middle school, high school, and first year college students. I have taught a diversity of courses, including English 9 and 10, American and British Literature, Journalism, First Year College English for ESL students, Geography, Drama, Old and New Testament Survey, and Apologetics. From the college level to middle school, my students have ...

" However, I think that my experience in two vastly different fields is a positive because it makes me better able to tutor a wide variety of subjects. In my free time, I love reading, cooking (I’m currently working on the perfect chocolate soufflé), yoga, and traveling (Costa Rica and Amsterdam are the plan for this summer). I have been tutoring since 2002 and my experience encompasses a wide range of clients, from middle-school students to college students. In addition to tutoring subjects ranging from Pre-Algebra to World History and Biostatistics (just to name a few), for the past 1.5 years, I have been organizing and conducting weekly ...

"Because I love learning, I look for ways to transmit my passions to others by teaching them. Another reason I enjoy tutoring lies in my own experience as a student. I had to work very hard for the grades it took to get to college, so I understand the problems of the struggling student, and I try my best to relate the methods I personally used to overcome those obstacles. I've tutored high school-level Chemistry and Algebra as well as SAT prep, but I also have an extensive background in Spanish and French and am very familiar with Biology, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus, among other subjects. In my free time, I enjoy reading, yoga, and catching up with ...

" However, my interest in studying the natural world has caused me to suffer through more math classes than I care to count. As a result, I am well-equipped to help 'math-shy' students understand, appreciate, and flourish in a subject that they may have previously disliked. I believe in forging a relationship between the student and the subject matter with the idea being able to answer the question "when will I ever need to know this?" is the first step to understanding. Currently, I live in Houston with my bride, Nathalie, and our great big black lab, affectionately know as "The Bear". I love being out-of-doors in any capacity and am an avid ...

"I can also tutor ACT test prep strategies. I have taught English speaking and writing to elementary, middle school, and high school students in South Korea for one summer. It was such a rewarding experience!
I think being a great tutor includes being exposed to different types of cultures, being patient, understanding, and passionate about what you're doing. These are all qualities that I possess."

"I love asking “why” questions and pushing students to understand their academic purpose as well as the right answer! I have studied and done biological research in the field (as well as in the lab) in three different countries, so it's no surprise that I love traveling, living in new places, and learning about new cultures. I have always kept up a strong work ethic to help me succeed in school, even while I was studying abroad in Germany and Peru, and this is also something I try to promote in my students. I try to lead by example and am very dedicated to forming a positive teacher-student relationship. I have tutored and taught elementary ...

"I love the learning process, and figuring out how to best design a lesson for a specific student so that learning is fun, engaging and meaningful. For me, learning is not about drilling memorization facts. My ultimate goal with students is to make a connection with them and bring alive pre-algebra, phonics, the questioning mechanics of the SAT - whatever the student is learning. When a connection is made, we can bridge the gaps and make learning fun and lasting. Everyone can be a math person, everyone can love grammar, everyone can write a stellar paper." ...

"I graduated from Memorial High School in 2005. Then, I made a major lifestyle change, relocated to Indiana, and graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 2009 with a major in Sociology and a minor in Latin American Studies. After graduation, I spent almost two years abroad in Santiago, Chile, teaching English in a K-12 Catholic school, and picked up Spanish fluently and a love of teaching while I was there! I would love to help you work on your Spanish abilities, whether it be for school or for fun!."

" Less than 100 people were currently living in the small mining town where the school stood, and I can't imagine a better context for learning to work closely with students and their families. Most of my professional work has involved helping people to communicate. I love to teach writing, and I am as comfortable reviewing academic papers as I am teaching junior high and high school students. At the University of Texas, I worked with many ESL authors who, although experts in their field, felt uncomfortable publishing in a second language." ...

" I've learned that success on standardized tests depends on the strategy with which the student approaches the test. I have taken many standardized tests on my way to becoming a National Advanced Placement Scholar and National Merit Scholar; I love to share my successful test-taking strategies with other students. I find that these strategies give students the confidence to succeed. I realize that my ability to excel in an academic setting is a blessing, and I love to shared my gifts with others looking to succeed through tutoring." ...
