...class already understands. As a former Spanish major in a classroom full of native Spanish-speakers, I absolutely can relate to this feeling. As a tutor I make my sessions something the student looks forward to and doesn't dread.

I am an avid believer in positive reinforcement....

...they have what it takes to do well in school and love what they're learning about makes my day. I graduated from Carthage College in 2016 with a Bachelor's Degree in Theater Performance and Music.

I'm an actress and a musician; I love Shakespeare and detective novels and going on...

...I've been helping high school students achieve their college admissions goals for over 7 years. I fell in love with tutoring right away. For me, it gives all the rewards of teaching, but with the added benefit of being able to truly hone in on each student's individual needs. With each new student comes a new challenge, which means that my job is different every day. Nothing makes me happier than helping a student hit...

...reasons why I enjoy teaching and tutoring. I recently graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison this past May with a BA in International Studies and Certificates in African, Middle Eastern, and Medieval Studies. Since then, I have been doing what I could not while I was in school, like renovating my parents' house, camping and watching Game of Thrones. My goal is to work for a non-profit abroad or help immigrants and refugees acclimate.... Students that get discouraged are more likely to give up. I note the small successes and things they do right -- the confidence boost usually catches their interest. In addition, I usually find ways to relate concepts to their interests, like video games or sports.

...helping and tutoring others since I was young -- probably influenced by my family of teachers. I find there is an important creative aspect to most academic subjects that often gets overlooked, especially in math. I try to incorporate this into my tutoring because it really seems to help people connect with the concepts. In my free time I enjoy making things and exploring what others have made, whether in music, programming, writing, games, or...

...as a secondary English classroom teacher. I have especially enjoyed teaching ACT preparation classes because students would often return after the semester and share their exciting news about meeting their score goals. Since I earned my Master’s in Education from Lesley University, I have developed a whole repertoire of strategies for delivering differentiated instruction that meets the individual needs of my students. A student-centered approach is imperative when working one-on-one with individuals. English, literature, and...

I believe that all students are capable of success, and success happens when a teacher and a student do everything necessary to meet in the middle. I believe that the formula for success includes a lot of encouragement, student AND teacher accountability, and a healthy dose of constructive criticism. ... I believe that all students are capable of achieving success, especially if they are in a warm, encouraging, and rigorous environment.... In a first session with a student, I would take some time to get to know said student and their abilities. I might give them a diagnostic assessment and have a conversation about what they perceive as their strengths and areas for growth, as well as likes and dislikes. After I understand better where this student is in terms of academics, I would help them set goals for our sessions moving forward.
