Because of this experience, I understand the college admissions process well, and can help students brainstorm or polish their writing to impress colleges with their admissions essays.

Learning is a pursuit of life-long discovery, so I encourage students to ask questions and to remember not to give up!...

My passion is traveling, learning languages, and exploring different cultural traditions. During my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and going...

...ACT tests your test-taking strategies over content/knowledge, I believe that the strongest way of approaching this test is by learning strategies. As a student myself, I have realized that the best way to ace tests and classes is by being confident. This is only possible if we understand the concepts rather than memorizing (especially in subjects such as math and science). Whenever I tutor, I always aim to build strong personal relationships with my students...

...over fourteen years of Spanish classes and six months abroad in Buenos Aires, Argentina, I have become completely fluent in Spanish (including reading, writing, and speaking) and enjoy drawing on my experience as a second-language learner to tutor other students in Spanish.

...they can be. I view education as a holistic experience. I love my content area and care deeply about it. However, I care more about my students. This means that I strive to help my students in ways besides simply understanding the content. I want my students to be better learners, problem solvers and citizens when they leave my classroom. I believe that a teacher has the unique position to truly influence change and help...

I want to start as a teacher after graduation, get my master's degree, and move into education policy. I have known...

...and English and in college, I tutored an 11th grader in Mathematics, Physics, and the SAT. My favorite subjects are Mathematics and the Natural Sciences. I know these are subjects that many students struggle with, and my goal is not just to help students understand some of the more difficult concepts, but also to help them develop interest in these subjects. My dream is to become a University professor, and I hope my tutoring experience...

...I've also helped private students in elementary school, middle school and high school in the USA, Spain and China. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about History, English, Spanish, and Writing. In my experience helping students, I like to take a multimedia approach. I believe rote memorization is only one method to help students learn. I often employ videos, games, apps and real-life examples in my tutoring sessions. I...

...I can adapt my tutoring method to a student's specific strengths and weaknesses. When I begin with a new student, I focus on flexibility as we become accustomed to one another. As time progresses and we enact a personalized lesson plan, my expectations increase accordingly as does each student's accountability. I strongly believe that it behooves all learners to employ a useful toolkit of reasoning and comprehension skills. In addition to teaching the material for...

...for the Missouri Gateway Award for the last three years. In my experience strong readers make strong writers, and vice versa. In working with students who want to strengthen their writing or reading skills I connect them with an appropriate book for their reading and interest levels. I believe that every person is a reader, it's all about finding the right book for that person. As a tutor and educator, I view my role as...

...justice. Self-confidence and empowerment are critical and often underestimated keys to learning. When I tutor a student, I also want to work with them to identify, appreciate, and build on their strengths, as well as feel empowered to ask questions and be curious. Wanting to improve your knowledge level and abilities is something to be proud of, not something a student should feel embarrassed about. I would love to work with your student on all...
