...support center as a math and science tutor and would have been hired on a professional basis, had it not been for some age-related hiring restrictions. (They could only hire people 18+, and I was 17 at the time.)

I have also freelance tutored with pupils of all ages,...

...language classes such as Spanish and English-related areas such as writing, literature, and standardized test prep. After receiving my Bachelor of Arts in English and Spanish education, I took a long-term substitute position as a Spanish teacher at The Covenant School in Charlottesville, Virginia, where I taught Spanish I and II. My teaching style focuses on individualized instruction that works for each studentI prefer to know my students' interests, learning styles, and goals so that...

...games, and hard work. During those years I also individually tutored EFL and IELTS and found that between an individualized learning plan and a strong relationship with the student, more could be achieved than in a traditional classroom setting. My patience, intuitiveness, and problem-solving abilities build on the bed-rock of my stellar testing abilities to make me a great tutor. Throughout the past 10 years I have volunteered as a camp counselor for foster kids...

...knack for such tests, and helping soon-to-be test takers learn the logic of such tests is the only way I can constructively utilize this skill.

...Engineering curriculum at Northwestern was heavily centered around Math, Chemistry, Biology and Physics, so I can work with a student on more than one class at a time. I also have a lot of experience with test prep and love working with students who need help with standardized tests. I'm a laid back individual, but I like to push my students. I know that every student is able to do well and I really enjoy...

...tutoring style is very hands-on, with frequent quizzes and tests to ensure that the lessons on the whiteboard are translating to results when the pressure is on. I find that students and parents alike appreciate the flow of feedback that I provide, and being able to see one's results improving is marvelous for student confidence. In my free time, I am an avid collector of bottle caps and enjoy painting Bob Ross's wet-on-wet style of...

...Commons, the university’s writing center, and as an undergraduate teaching assistant in both literature seminars and writing workshops. I have experience working with high school, college, and graduate students across disciplinary lines. I love to work with student writers, whether they’re working on literary analysis, argumentative essays, presentations, or poetry. I’m excited to work with any writer, on any project, at any stage in the project, and I want to make writing fun and rewarding...

...on both testing strategies and content, and hopefully building both competence and confidence. I will help explain things in new and clear ways so the student doesn't just see the answers, but sees how we reached them. I find that patience and understanding are a great way to get through to students, so I do my best to be fun and positive while making sure I am meeting the student's special individual needs.
