"I believe one of my greatest strengths is not only my own ability to write fluidly, but also to help others do the same while still respecting their individual voices. I love to work with students on college essays, other applications, and general writing skills - this past year, one of my students with whom I worked on a college essay was accepted to every school to which he applied, and I work to achieve that goal with all of my students! I'm also experienced in Verbal and Writing test prep, particularly for the SAT, and find great satisfaction in watching my students' scores steadily improve. In short, if your tutoring needs have to do with ...

"One of my students achieved the highest score in her school on the Social Studies State Exam. In addition, my students improved by 30% after only 20 tutoring hours (on average, comparing pre-assessment and post-assessment scores). I have experience tutoring grades 1-8, but I really shine with elementary students. I strive to help students reach the next level; whether they are struggling to keep up, or striving to be at the head of the class. I have experience tutoring in Reading Comprehension, Writing, Grammar, Math, Science and Social Studies." ...

"I have a firm grasp on all subjects regarding Mathematics up to college level Calculus 2. As far as English is concerned, since my degree is both a science and humanities degree, I have mastered how to write persuasively, informatively, and creatively. Critical thinking skills and good reading comprehension, I believe, is crucial to succeeding in any English class or pass any sort of exam in English as well. These skills have been grossly ingrained within me, because of all of my humanities courses including but not limited to persuasive anthropology classes, writing seminars and the like." ...

"Additionally, I enjoy having a strong personal connection with my students, something facilitated by one-on-one tutoring sessions. Music and the English language are my two true passions, and working with kids that share those passions was particularly rewarding. I have extensive experience working for premier test prep tutoring services of working with groups 15 to 35 students in addition to focused, individualized one-on-one instruction. I believe my tutoring experience has given me a versatile approach that makes me capable of handling a wide range of learning styles and abilities. Every single student I've had has also ...

"In addition while a calculus student in high school, I had the privilege of tutoring a few students in pre-calculus and Algebra and absolutely loved it! These students all ended the class with A's. On another note, as a future teacher myself, I hope to implement more effective teaching methods. As a student I struggled with the dull lecturing that most classes provided, so I would love to use more visual and handson techniques to explain the curriculum. In addition, I am very animated and friendly so I'm easy to trust and be comfortable around. In my free time, I love watching movies, shopping and reading." ...

"I am proud to say that I just got a full time teaching job as an elementary ESL teacher! I was very grateful that the first teaching resume that I ever sent out (and many countless interviews after for this one job) landed me a job that quickly! I am fluent in Spanish and conversational in American Sign Language. One of my favorite tutoring moments happened about three years ago. I was tutoring a ninth grade girl in math. The first time that I spoke with her mom on the phone, she was crying and said that her daughter had a fifty average and that I was her only hope." ...

"I love working with students of all ages. I am very familiar with the school systems and have developed my own teaching approach that leaves the students that I work with feeling a sense of accomplishment and ownership of the material. I have found that this is the key to lasting and continuing progress.
When I’m facing a challenge, I just think to myself, “If others before me have done this, I can definitely do it!” The same goes for you."
