I believe that all students should be given the opportunities they deserve to advance in their education ... All students have the potential to learn; they need only find the right method.... Discuss their interests, what motivates them, and their goals. What do they want to get out of tutoring?... Guide them through questions without telling them the answer, gradually removing supports with each practice until they are able to complete the task on their own.

...of a sentence. In history I try to help students understand the "historical method" as easily as possible through exposure to historical sources and understanding of their uses--I also frequently approach history from a so-called "bottom-up" or microhistorical approach, which I've found in teaching Roman Republican history can be very useful for students in understanding how a society functioned, which is crucial for their understanding of causality of events. These methods of approaching teaching in...

...about English and Writing. In my experience, there is no best approach for how to tutor students. Every student is different and should be taught in a way that helps them better understand both the subject matter in front of them and themselves as a student. I believe that the healthy combination of creativity and patience can lead to the solution of almost any problem in life. In my spare time, I enjoy reading (graphic...

...math. I also wrote curriculum based on the Common Core standards in geometry. As a teacher, I was committed to getting to know my students’ unique interests and academic needs in order to best assess how they interacted with material.

I also considered their personal...

I tutor based on the needs and wants of each of my clients. My thought process is that each person is different from the next, and needs to be treated as such. Every student has a unique learning style, and figuring out what works for an individual person is the key to success.

I first began tutoring in high school, when my best friend's father needed help with his English to pass a test to become a ship captain. After he passed, I knew teaching was something I cared deeply about. I tutored my way through college at Wesleyan University, where I graduated with Honors. Now with five years of experience, I am prepared to teach on a wide range of subjects in a variety of styles. When...
