"I have been afforded many opportunities to learn from passionate teachers, my enthusiastic parents, and other friends who share my interests. I have developed a genuine love of learning and wish to ignite that same fire in other students through tutoring.
Two of my favorite subjects are biology and French. Biology is the science of life from the tiny molecular interactions occurring in the body and atmosphere to the history of life on Earth, it fascinates me to no end."

" Rather than just telling them the answers, I prefer to guide the student to come up with the best changes to improve their writing. No one can learn how to write when someone just tells you what to say. But I like to help students learn how to best express themselves, so they can continue to write well, long after the tutor leaves.
My tutoring strengths are primarily in Writing and English, but I also have a lot of experience with Literature, Psychology, and Test Prep."

"I tutored in college, and I have three years experience as a teaching assistant, so I know what college professors are looking for from their students' papers. My approach to tutoring follows the idea of "if you teach a man to fish..." My goal is to teach by helping students come to the correct conclusion on their own, whether that pertains to figuring out the Latin subjunctive, the German use of cases, or writing a decent thesis statement in their mother tongue. If you need help with Latin, German, or English/writing, feel free to contact me!." ...

" I am a firm believer in problem-based learning, and encourage students to ask questions and think for themselves. Although I will not provide answers or a quick and simple fix, I will provide students with guidance and encouragement as they work through problems and learn to apply familiar concepts to unfamiliar situations. I also believe strongly in teaching “to the student,” and therefore adapt my teaching to fit each individual’s needs and learning styles. By pinpointing and addressing students’ weaknesses and creating a comfortable, nurturing environment in which they can learn, I work to help students solidify their ...

"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.
