"I have worked as an English tutor for students ranging from elementary to post-graduate and as a Mandarin tutor for other foreign students. I have also volunteered as a tutor for an adult education program aimed at teaching computer and English skills and preparing students for GED testing. 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." ...

"I am an experienced teacher and educational researcher with a deep-rooted passion for ensuring that ALL students are prepared for bright and successful futures. I believe that every student can succeed. Success in school is not a matter of innate talent but rather a matter of true effort. It can be difficult for students to feel motivated if they have experienced "failures" or consistently run into obstacles they do not feel equipped to overcome. That's where I find it critical to provide opportunities for students to experience success through small steps." ...

"I am a recent graduate from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, with a BA in Political Science. Like most poli-sci majors, I intend to go to law school and someday practice law as a career. Getting there necessitates taking the LSAT, an exam that is quite different from other standardized tests in that it focuses on a singular skill set: formal logic. But learning about the logical doesn't always come across as logical."

"I get excited about tutoring. In the last two years I've tutored everyone from middle school students to adults, on topics ranging from the intuitions of basic arithmetic to how to connect with and describe an author's voice. Behind every topic, a new world is waiting for every student if we can just make things click. I tutor with gestures and jokes, messy diagrams and clean metaphors."
