It's great to see someone make progress and become confident with something that he or she was previously struggling with. I am interested in tutoring...

...of my past tutees I have worked to not only enhance their understanding of the curriculum, but also to help them find the motivation, study skills, discipline and joy that are necessary to truly excel in the classroom. I would be thrilled to bring that attitude to work with your student; I believe that good teaching means "working with" rather than "talking at," and that students thrive when they get a personal touch from a...

...style is very hands-on and conversational. The wonderful blessing (and occasional curse) of English and writing is that there's usually more than one correct answer to everything. I always listen to the student and make sure there is room for open discussion about the best ways to convey an idea or solve a problem.

...tested learning, memorization, and studying techniques to my tutoring sessions. I also minored in child development to better understand how brains learn differently across the lifespan; as a result, I understand ways to tailor my tutoring practice to the age of the student I'm working with. For example, the brain becomes much better at thinking abstractly over time as it becomes able to hold more pieces of information in mind at once. Thus, when tutoring...
