"I recently moved from the Bay Area to Los Angeles, where I had the opportunity to take classes in English, Psychology, and Anthropology at UCLA. I have enjoyed tutoring since I volunteered as a tutor in high school, but I really fell in love with it at Stanford with an organization called WYSE (Women and Youth Supporting Each Other). WYSE is a group that mentors middle school girls in East Palo Alto, and I started off as a mentor and became one of the directors of the organization. I really enjoy helping high school students with test prep, because I remember how stressful it was for me and I like to remind students that regardless of how it may ...

"I have a variety of teaching and tutoring experiences; my main focuses have been working with students in English, foreign language, writing, and critical thinking and analysis. I absolutely love teaching and working with students in order to help them feel more confident and achieve their goals. My main philosophy when it comes to tutoring is to put myself in the students’ shoes and figure out what aspects of the material they are struggling with. While I am there to help students so they feel more comfortable with the material, it is important to me that they arrive at the answer themselves so that they truly understand the concepts." ...

"
I have worked for over a decade as a youth development professional. I was a counselor and director at Cheley, a highly regarded outdoors and character-building summer camp. I have also worked for a number of tutoring companies, largely teaching upper level English and literature to struggling students. I have helped failing students become A students and, perhaps more importantly, helped students who were frustrated and bored with their studies become excited and engaged."

"in Ancient Near Eastern Studies and Egyptology. Prior to working for Varsity Tutors, I tutored elementary school students in reading, writing, and math. I have also been successful in helping high school students write clear, cogent, and well-written English and history papers.

"My interest in tutoring began in high school when I completed volunteer hours for the National, Spanish, and Math Honor Societies by helping my peers in these subjects. When I enrolled at the University of Virginia, I began volunteering in local elementary school classrooms and after school programs. Discovering a love of sharing the joy of learning with students, I added some classes from the Curry School of Education to my course load. I took classes on technology in the classroom, curriculum development, and teaching theory among others and used the skills I learned here to teach in summer and Saturday enrichment programs." ...

" My teaching style is equally diverse. I tailor my lessons to your/your child's learning style and I recognize that every person learns in unique ways. I also rely heavily on alternate methods of assessment. I believe that the emotional aspects of learning are just as important as their intellectual counterparts; this means it is my job to help you/your child FEEL that you/they have what it takes to progress."

" My teaching, tutoring, and editing experience has brought me to the table with learners developing basic writing skills to accomplished PhD students completing their dissertations. All of my work is rooted in a mentoring and coaching relationship with learners of varying cultural backgrounds and levels of confidence with their writing. My mentorship brings writers to new levels of understanding about, and a stronger relationship with, their own writing processes.

"Education is not just about content but also a training of the mind to be disciplined, useful, and powerful toward productive and effective efforts.

"After spending more than 3 years in the Middle East, where I recently completed my coursework for the Hebrew University of Jerusalem's masters program in the Bible and Ancient Near East, I am glad to be back in California! I have mentored, tutored, and taught students of various ages and backgrounds all over the world for the last 8 years. These experiences included teaching at- risk students in Oakland and Palestinian kids in East Jerusalem. Other than teaching, I love the outdoors and traveling, but my passion is for history and literature.." ...
