...in everything, even if it's something they hate, because even those things have something to teach us. Why do you hate it? What, specifically, do you dislike about this material? Why does that bother you, and how do you think it could be improved? Critical engagement allows us to grow, intellectually and personally, and I think it's important to help students embrace that. Outside of tutoring and my studies as a theatre major, I'm fascinated...

...the end of my undergraduate career and have been working on helping others flourish academically ever since.

...serve as a tutor for underprivileged students in Revive’s Homework Help Program.

My background in math, along with my teaching and tutoring experience, will allow me to help my students understand the content of their coursework and develop analytical abilities. I'm...

...program in a community center in Peru, to providing individual academic support to suburban Chicago youth involved in mentoring programs. To me, tutoring is about really getting to know each student, their strengths, and those areas of weakness that are coming between them and their highest potential. My specialties are math, essay writing, and Spanish. I love algebra because it's so neat and there's always a right answer, and I enjoy helping students realize that...

...picked up tutoring again. I've always enjoyed learning, and in the past few years I have enjoyed growing as a teacher and leader. I particularly enjoy "the game" of standardized tests, so I gravitate towards teaching ACT and SAT prep. I believe my work as an actor and director aids my ability to communicate and listen to students. I have an avid curiosity; I told my college playwriting professor that I wish I could experience...

...vocals, they have written modern versions of Langston Hughes and Countee Cullen poems and performed them in front of hundreds of their peers. This project has shown me that students take ownership when they are given ownership. What scared me at first was the fear that they wouldn’t be reading and writing as much with an approach like this. However, I have found the opposite; students are researching more on their own and they actually...

...to help us pass exams but to additionally give us enjoyment and perspective for life's ups and downs. I began teaching in earnest over a decade ago when I taught ESL in South Korea.

Many of my students used their work as part of the entrance requirements to colleges and universities in the United...

...to teach is Math, because I like to work with numbers! I strongly believe in incentives. I believe that setting small treats for each goal you reach will motivate you to do better, as long as you set your mind to it. I have a passion to teach and see others grow better as a student! I hope that as your tutor, I can help you be a more confident, successful student!... I am someone who really believes in group studies, but I am someone who does not resort to that as my only option. I like to spend the day before my test to study by myself. For subjects like Spanish and science, I feel that making quizzes are essential for my success, because it motivates me to be able to go through all the flashcards so many times that I can define each term almost immediately after I see it. In addition, for subjects like math, I love to make formula sheets for each chapter, because not only will it be beneficial for my test, but it will also be very helpful when compiling all my notes for the final!

I focused mostly on better teaching practices outside the classroom, utilizing technology to teach, and getting girls interested in Math and Science. I have an informal, friendly teaching style.
