" I look at education as a series of building blocks, or skill sets. I believe in repetition and mastering of skill sets before proceeding to the next levels. It is important to learn and know the basics because they provide the foundation for further learning. I am an avid reader and I believe that the more an individual reads, the better they will become at reading, writing and comprehending, not to mention building a better vocabulary and understanding of English and Language Arts."

" I have devoted my life to being an effective teacher so that I can help create lifelong learners as well as readers.

" Learning Mandarin here in the States can be a daunting task for any student. Besides the obvious obstacles of differentiating tones and writing characters, the language is infused with many cultural nuances that add to its beauty as well as its complexity. As a native speaker of English myself I know just how difficult learning Mandarin can be. After several extensive trips to China (including 6 months as an exchange student at Xiamen University) I also know how much fun there is to be had, not to mention the plethora of opportunities that come with speaking Mandarin well. The Chinese have a saying: One more friend, one more road." ...

My goal is to teach my students the strategies, ...

"I have worked for two years as an English tutor and Writing instructor for Upward Bound, a federally-funded educational enrichment program designed to help students in low-performing high schools improve their college-readiness skills. As an Upward Bound tutor and instructor, I have grown comfortable working one-on-one and in small groups with high school students of varying personality types and academic abilities, and have frequently received positive appraisals from both my pupils and superiors. I would say my strengths as a tutor are that I am very patient and understanding of students' individual learning needs. I take ...

" I also have experience tutoring the GRE and the GMAT in a one-on-one setting.
My tutoring style is influenced by my background in philosophy. When I teach a math problem, I try to make sure my students understand not only how to solve the problem, but also how to explain the principles and the logic behind the solution. That way they can safely and confidently approach novel problems on their own."

" I love words, but I also love using my left brain and think that math and science are incredibly fun. My teaching experience ranges from TAing English courses to teaching French and English to disadvantaged children in Senegal, West Africa. I've been told that my enthusiasm for learning is infectious. When you find a way to connect and engage with a subject, learning is fun--period! That's why it's important for me to understand my students so I can approach their lessons in the most engaging and effective ways. A little more about my academic background: I graduated from high school (a boarding school for the arts) at 16, completed AP ...

" Teaching people to read and write is one of my favorite activities. I have taught or tutored in many different arenas, from high school teaching and tutoring to legal intern and lawyer training, and from summer camps and after-school programs to caring for my elementary-and-toddler-aged nieces and nephew. Currently, I teach high school math, science, English, social studies, and theater arts when those classroom teachers aren't available. That's right. I'm a substitute teacher so that I can tutor in the evenings instead of lesson planning and grading." ...
