...studying English Literature as an undergrad at Harvard College, and then spent a year in Japan teaching English as a second language to students ranging in age from 4 to 80 years old (!). One of the greatest joys of tutoring in particular, for me, is the ways in which I can personalize the lessons in order to help a student access the material on their own terms, in ways that make sense to them....

...reflecting upon my practice and striving to foster a life-long love of learning within my students. I am a firm believer in hands-on, active learning done at a child's pace, allowing them to gain mastery of the skills and gain an independent sense of understanding. I truly feel the more a child is able to create and understand his/her own experiences, the more motivated they become, and ultimately the more they learn. I believe that...

...with others. So, while I did well in all subjects, history was and always had been my especial favorite (sadly, not too many students need extra tutoring in history, alas). Truman State's MAE program gave me the opportunity to translate that love of history to the classroom, giving me the teaching competencies to share it with students on a wide scale. The intense program gave me hundreds of hours of experience in the classroom, including...

...process. As an educator for three years, I have seen incremental gains establish confidence and motivate students to take risks in applying newly learned knowledge. A growth mindset means having a belief that anything that can be learned with the appropriate effort and strategy. As someone who as studied in and experienced multiple disciplines - currently business - I have learned what it truly means to rely on having a growth mindset. I strive to...

...tutor. By being able to relate to those who I tutor, I can more effectively communicate to my students and help them progress over time. I am a recent graduate of Saint Louis University with a bachelor's in biomedical engineering and a minor in mathematics.

In math, you deal with numbers and think through multistep problems logically because everything works out so...

I believe that the first step in connecting with a student as a...

...allow one to understand the world we live in, and the more you learn, the more the inherent structure, beauty and interconnectedness of the natural world appear to become self-evident. As a tutor, I try to show my students why what they're learning matters, and how it can enrich their view of the world, even if they think they will never apply what they're learning in their day to day lives. The primary issue in...

...and Behavioral Neuroscience and a minor in Spanish Language. I pursued this degree because of my passion to help kids, like me, who have ADHD. It took me some time to gain confidence in my academic abilities because of this diagnosis, and so I hope to help other students realize that ADHD has nothing to do with intelligence. If anything, it gives us an edge! I believe any student can master any subject as long...

...I am a proficient writer and would be glad to assist anyone struggling with essay writing or needing help with literature analysis. When tutoring, I try to emphasize the most important aspects of a subject and then narrow the focus on critical points so as not to overwhelm the student.

...out as a tutor is that I have been in the position of the student. I have set there listening to a tutor, learning what they have to say, and using that information to increase my mental capacity and to become a better person.

I learned about the complexities of that troubled area in the world from extensive reading before I arrived and much more...

...a 4.000 scale, I did not select my committee of professors for the requisite oral exams, nor did I produce a dissertation. Some significant circumstances demanded my focus and resolution to such an extent that I never returned to St. Louis University. However, I must admit that I wish I had. From November 1972 to June 1979, I taught English at Sumner High School, where I received seven years of invaluable training and experience in...
