"As a student myself, I understand that much of learning involves overcoming anxiety and building up self-esteem. In order to achieve this, I employ a great deal of positive reinforcement and utilize the "student teaching the teacher" principle. I tutored language arts, basic science and math, and social studies in high school and continued tutoring throughout college, where I edited essays and taught basic philosophy and women's studies concepts. My personal hobbies include reading women's studies material, researching nutrition and diet, yoga, and annoying my sweet little cat. More than anything, I love instilling the desire ...

"I am confident that I can help any student become a better writer. Throughout high school, I worked with a boy through his third and fourth grade years to improve his writing skills for the state standardized writing exam (the FCAT), which he successfully passed at the conclusion of my tutelage. Standardized testing has always come naturally to me, and I scored very well on my SATs. I would be happy to pass along any tips and tricks I can to help students score higher.
