I believe that teaching is about engaging the mind. It is about introducing students to conceptual frameworks with which they can, in profound way, understand, master, and incorporate educational concepts and strategies in productive ways. In short, for me, teaching is about challenging and inspiring students to think critically.

"People do not care how much you know till they know how much you care." I believe that we not only have the obligation to impart knowledge, but also show we care about the student's future.Every student has the potential to do great things. We as teachers have to find the way to bring that out. By differentiating our instruction based on the student's need, we can help each one be successful in education and in life.

I absolutely love to teach, and I love to learn, but I can assure you, it wasn't always this way!I struggled a great deal academically throughout my middle and high school years. Friends, clothes, dating...pretty much everything came before academics. It wasn't until college, when I was able to take classes I really had an interest in, that I finally began to excel. Now, to be clear, I didn't just suddenly wake up "smart" one day (although that would've been nice). The reason I was doing so well was because, in the past, if I found a subject boring, or even slightly challenging, I didn't care about it. I tuned my teacher out, and made zero effort.Despite the challenges of school and life in general, I was determine to move forward and be successful. After graduating high school, on my own dime, I went to a local community college and took my "basics". Eventually, I transferred to the University of Houston where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology, followed by a Masters degree in Social Work. Mission "Prove my Parents Wrong": Accomplished.After graduating, I became a licensed therapist, and worked with children and families for about 10 years before making the decision transition to teaching. I went back to school to earn my teaching certification, and started teaching, and I love it!I am currently certified to teach every grade level, and have additional certifications in ESL, GT, and Special Education (and of course, being a teacher in Texas, I am a STAAR expert). I have worked extensively with students of all ages, with a variety of needs and goals. I have a plethora of resources and "tools" that I use to ensure each student gets exactly what he/she needs, whether that's test prep, help with a writing/editing a graduate research paper, learning to read, subject enrichment and everything above, beyond and in between. I have a very open and flexible schedule, and, personally, I think I am awesome to work with! (a little joke of course)Bottom line (finally, I know)...As previously mentioned, college was where I realized I was actually a little bit smarter than I had been giving myself credit for, but it was also where it became clear that there were some things I was just not going to be able to wrap my head around. My solution? I found some great tutors, and as a result of my experiences with them, I am a firm believer that the best tutors are those who have needed and used one at some point! Now, I'm certainly not knocking those individuals that seem to just "get it" (no matter what the subject)...sigh...but that was definitely not me! I think it truly "takes one to know one", and that is really what drives me to do what I do!

I have loved both being a teacher because it gives me an opportunity to be a part of someone's life in a positive and nurturing manner. Prior to teaching, I was a girl scout leader, CCD teacher, and most importantly a mom, and the latter role has been my most rewarding because I loved being our child's first teacher. Teaching is truly a gift, and I believe that each student deserves the best teaching and tutoring methods I have available to me.

Hello! My name is Hannah and I am a junior in College in North Carolina! I love the beach and dogs. My favorite subject in school is math. My goal is to be an occupational Therapist one day.

I am a graduate of Rider University and currently an English teacher at Metuchen High School. In college, I was a student writing tutor for three years - I worked with students ranging from freshmen all the way to graduate students. I helped students will all stages of the writing process, so I am very experienced and comfortable with writing tutoring. I have also taught at the middle school level, so I am prepared to help students with literacy/reading comprehension at the middle and high school level.

I am a graduate from Christopher Newport University with a degree in English and Theater. I'm working towards a graduate degree in Linguistics and Playwriting. I love the English language and focus my tutoring on those areas. I think that communication is key in the learning process and that the most important part of learning is getting the student to retain that knowledge for other areas of his or her life. I am to find ways that make the concepts easy to understand, and as such, easy to remember in the future. I enjoy theatre, film, dancing, and cooking.

In 2011, I graduated with honors from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature. Toward the end of my college years, through a series of self-realizations, I came to realize that I would be most happy pursuing a career in Medicine and I began a post-baccalaureate premedical program at Dominican University where I was granted a Bachelor of Medical Science. I am looking forward to applying to medical school and to becoming a Physician!With a background in English Literature and Writing, along with more recent (and successful) coursework in premedical studies including college-level Math, Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Organic Chemistry, I am well-equipped to tutor students in a multitude of subject areas. This past year, I tutored college students in General Chemistry. This year, I will be continuing to do some tutoring at a university in General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry. Additionally, I worked as an Americorps member at an organization called Schools of Hope, where I prepared children for kindergarten by fine-tuning their Math and literacy skills. In order to participate in this program, I underwent an intense training curriculum which taught me many fundamentals of teaching. I also have experience working with and teaching children and adolescents with special needs, as well as students where English is their second language.Most importantly, I have a strong passion for learning. As an aspiring physician, I recognize the value of constant learning and relearning, as well as teaching those concepts which have been mastered. I am incredibly patient and compassionate, and I fully relate to the challenges that can accompany learning experiences. It is my hope that I can work with students as much as possible, go through problems that they may find challenging and find several different ways to convey the material. I believe that with hard work, dedication, and patience, anyone can overcome various challenges of academia.I look forward to getting to know you!

I have extensive classroom teaching experience and a strong passion for education. With experience working at the United Nations, leading sales for an international pharmaceuticals company, and teaching students of a wide range of ages in Korea, I excel at connecting with people on a level that they understand.As an educator, I seek to bring real-world value to whatever I am teaching, helping students to understand how the topic at hand connects to their everyday lives. I always strive to be engaging and make my lessons as fun and informative as possible.

I earned my bachelor's degree from Northwestern University in computer science. I have worked at the NIH and at Caltech as a bioinformatics researcher, and I am starting graduate school this fall. My experiences as a student and scientist help me explain concepts and work through problems in a clear and engaging manner. I love teaching, and strive to make each personalized lesson enjoyable and productive. In addition to math and science, I can teach the skills and strategies students need to reach their goals on the ACT, GRE, or AP tests. I also enjoy working with elementary age students to increase reading and math proficiencies.
