"In addition, my current work towards my M.Ed in Curriculum and Instruction gives me insight into the best methods to use to achieve student success.

I have taught a diversity of courses, including English 9 and 10, American and British Literature, Journalism, First Year College English for ESL students, Geography, Drama, Old and New Testament Survey, and Apologetics. From the college level to middle school, my students have ...

"
I first started tutoring as a volunteer for middle school students who were struggling in math. Over the years, I've worked with students on various subjects ranging from Spanish (my mother is from Mexico City) to history.
I've always enjoyed working with people, and I love being able to instill confidence and hope!
In my free time, I like to explore Houston and the globe! My next trip will hopefully be to South America in the Spring!."

"I have helped students and peers of all ages and skill levels, from different language backgrounds to achieve their English communication goals. Most recently I have done so in Italy. I am fascinated with traveling and exploring; thankfully I have been fortunate enough to be able to visit several countries and experience their colorful cultures first hand. I love being outdoors doing anything from reading an interesting book near a refreshing river to hang gliding off of a mountain peak. I also believe in the importance of balance so while I value my ability to slow down and appreciate the simple things in life like a rainbow after a ...

" I also obtained my certification of French proficiency during a language immersion program while I studied abroad in Tours, France. As a result, I enjoy tutoring in many of these same subject areas, with writing and government being the two areas I most enthusiastic about. While in high school I tutored my peers in math, in college I tutored peers in writing, and I also tutored high school students in the Cristo Rey Network while I was at Georgetown as part of an academic externship. Yet, I enjoy working with students of all ages." ...

" Part of the reason I became a teacher is because of the gratification I receive from teaching. I truly enjoy watching my students learn and grow as the year progresses.
I consider myself to be an incredibly fun and enthusiastic teacher, but it is also very important for me to show my students the importance of discipline. I try to balance teaching my students boundaries with a lot of love and tenderness."

"During college I transitioned to working with other college students in the Writing Center; I worked with undergraduates and graduate students on their writing projects, and taught remedial writing classes. I have frequently tutored other students in writing and Spanish and I enjoy one on one tutoring more than any other field. I am currently working part-time with home-schoolers with a large range of ages and needs, and I enjoy the variety of interactions and subjects I engage in with them. Language and writing are crucial to critical thinking and communication and this is why I value the ability to write well and understand multiple ...

"
When I was a child, reading did not come easily. My Dad made me read to him nightly. It was my choice what I read. I learned to read, as well as the use of a dictionary, rather quickly after dad’s “tutoring”.
My belief that anyone can excel at just about anything if the subject area piques their interest has its roots in reading to my father."

"I've tutored test prep, English, literature, writing, math, and social sciences. My undergraduate degree is from Wellesley College and my masters is from Harvard, so while I've spent seven years in Boston's frigid clime, I love being back in my hometown. I have "itchy feet," according to my dad--I love to travel, and have been to more than 20 countries. I lived in South Africa for two years on a research fellowship, and I studied Arabic in Egypt. I learned to surf in Costa Rica and ate a lot of pasta in Italy. In my free time I am a voracious reader, as well as a soccer player, a godparent to a delightful one-year-old who lives in Atlanta, and a total ...

" However, I think that my experience in two vastly different fields is a positive because it makes me better able to tutor a wide variety of subjects. In my free time, I love reading, cooking (I’m currently working on the perfect chocolate soufflé), yoga, and traveling (Costa Rica and Amsterdam are the plan for this summer). I have been tutoring since 2002 and my experience encompasses a wide range of clients, from middle-school students to college students. In addition to tutoring subjects ranging from Pre-Algebra to World History and Biostatistics (just to name a few), for the past 1.5 years, I have been organizing and conducting weekly ...

" I have worked as a journalist, public relations specialist, and technical writer in my professional career. I enjoy basketball, baseball, horseshoes, frisbee golf, board games, and spectator sports, especially Longhorn football!!
Finally, i enjoy the fellowship of families and making new friends, especially opportunities to teach. One-on-one instruction is extremely helpful in advancing individuals to levels above and beyond what is "normally" expected!
