"It's so rewarding to see people succeed and I want to help in any way I can. After struggling in high school with essays and papers, I came to love to write and I wrote for the campus newspaper at UCSB. One of my biggest goals as a tutor is to teach students to express themselves clearly in any format. A strong writing ability will make any student stand out. Besides tutoring, I am currently an intern for the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition and I also work for Performance Bike. I plan to attend a graduate program in urban planning, and I am passionate about sustainable communities and quality of life.." ...

" I firmly believe that learning Latin is as valuable for one's development as a student and a scholar as Math or English Literature. I also understand that learning it, especially at the introductory levels, can occasionally be rather intimidating. I try to make myself as relaxed, fun, and seemingly approachable while I am teaching/tutoring as I can to lessen the intimidation factor of that crazy dead language we're learning. Although I grew up in Boston, I moved to Los Angeles six years ago to enroll at USC and (in large part due to the weather) have never left." ...

" My mother is a writer and long time educator, and I think I get my patience from her! Teaching kids reading is also especially gratifying, as there is nothing like a good book -- even if it's on an iPad. I also teach math and enjoy working with students of all ages. I'm a native New Yorker who never plans to leave Los Angeles. There's no place quite like Southern California and I take full advantage of it every day, whether it's a bike ride, a day at the beach or a drive to the mountains."

"My main philosophy when it comes to tutoring is to put myself in the students’ shoes and figure out what aspects of the material they are struggling with. While I am there to help students so they feel more comfortable with the material, it is important to me that they arrive at the answer themselves so that they truly understand the concepts. As such, I do my best to guide students by asking them questions to lead them in the right direction but still make sure that they understand how they arrived at the best answer. In my free time, I love going to movies, reading, and traveling." ...

" Since I finished my undergraduate degree, I have tutored many high school and college students in essay writing and test prep. In particular, I love helping people improve their writing. While there are undoubtedly many great tutors in the area, I believe I bring a unique perspective with my legal writing experience. With this background, I strive to help students not only improve their academic performance in the short term, but also develop the skills they will need in their professional careers. I am available to tutor on weekday afternoons and evenings in and around the Pasadena area where I live with my wife and two children." ...
