...that is exam prep, writing, and/or progressing in your American English fluency. Let me tell you a little about myself.

...students with limited and interrupted education, and students who are learning English as a second or third language; I have experience working with students of all ages (pre-school to college). I enjoy working with students to set goals and monitor progress as the one-on-one nature of tutoring allows me to individualize my instruction. I believe education is about meeting students where they are and giving them the tools they need to carry themselves farther.... I would start by taking time to get to know my student. This does two things: it builds a positive, comfortable atmosphere for the student, and it helps me prepare individualized lessons. Then I would ask my student if he/she has any questions for me before we start a pre- assessment. Finally, I would ask my student about his/her learning style, what he/she wants to gain from our work together, and what his/her goals are.

I have experience tutoring students of various age groups from elementary through university students. I take a flexible approach to problems and strive to fit my approach to my students' strengths.

...French tutoring program I initiated at my high school, which grew to me tutoring other subjects as well. My teaching philosophy involves discussion and helping the student come to an answer themselves, which allows the topic to stick. Because of this one of my favorite subjects to tutor is writing. Writing tutoring helps the student grow and allows them to see the problems in their writing themselves. Outside of academia I enjoy calligraphy and playing...

...and working in education for the past six years or so. I love working with kids and youth and helping them understand what they're studying because learning can be such a formative and inspiring experience.

I'd love to meet you and your child and help them...

Each of us experiences the world in our own unique way. Understanding how others experience life is a passion of mine. Learning is merely an opportunity to understand how someone else views the world.... Learning is merely an opportunity to understand how someone else views the world.... I want to know what the student is passionate about.... An independent learner is anyone who is simply motivated by what interests them.... I like to start from a subject, hobby or interest that already motivates them, then fit the struggling subject into this framework.

...and children for four years, and have learned as much from teaching as those I've taught. In my experience it is easiest for a student to learn when their teacher engages with them directly and adapts their way of teaching to the learning style and interests of the student. This has always been how I have learned most effectively as a student, and is how I attempt to instill knowledge as a teacher.... I think teaching is not just about passing information from one person to another. I believe that in order to truly succeed as a teacher, your student must make the discoveries themselves. Instead of just telling the answer, it is better to nudge and encourage them in such a way that they learn how to find the answer themselves.

...Arts courses ranging from 6th grade reading through Senior Composition. I help my students to recognize the strengths they already have and use those strengths to improve other areas. I am working toward a Master's Degree in English with a concentration in Rhetoric and Composition at Northern Kentucky University. This will position me to teach first-year composition courses at community and 2-year colleges. It has also provided me with more strategies for teaching writing.... Teaching is based on providing students with encouragement, resources, and practice. I believe every student has strengths that they can learn to harness and apply to areas where they may be struggling. My talks with students include frequent praise and recognition of both effort and work. The resources I can provide students are models for writing and access to interesting reading selections that can build their comprehension skills while entertaining them. Practice is integral to learning because everyone learns best by doing.

I am interested in tutoring students within the engineering, math, and science fields. I am also interested in helping with standardized testing preparation.

...Louis public school system. After graduating, my love of teaching carried me to South America to teach English in a small class setting and tutor individuals on the side. I strongly believe that no two students are the same and that teachers and tutors must be willing to explore different approaches with different students to maximize student potential. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy skiing, camping, playing basketball and listening to music.

...teaching for five years. The first two years I worked as a substitute teacher in the Cincinnati Public Schools. The next three years I taught and tutored children and adults in Shanghai, China.

...knowing when to guess and when to omit an answer, and understanding context clues. I have an extensive background in etymology and Latin and can help students learn to decipher unfamiliar words. With regards to writing, I am equally comfortable emphasizing essay composition techniques to enable excellence in timed-writing scenarios, or guiding students to develop their own unique voice as a writer. The subjects that I enjoy digging into the most are english and history....

...students in college as a teaching assistant for both an introductory biology and geology class. Not only did my students excel in the subject material, but I gained skills and experience right along with them. One of the most prominent skills I gained was how to tailor my teaching approach to each student based on their level of understanding of the material. Simply providing an answer might be the easiest short-term solution to a problem;...

I work with all levels of students, ranging from middle schoolers through college students.

In my free time, I enjoy running, reading, and generally just getting outside.
