...Both of my parents have graduate degrees, and both of them are teachers. Coming from that background, and being a child who always enjoyed learning, I found it only natural that I wanted to become a teacher myself. There is nothing like the kind of impact a good teacher can make on the course of your life. For that reason, I love being involved in education and having the chance to help students learn. I...

...a college course, kids apply their knowledge and insights in projects. Ideas are applied to writing, mastery of mathematical processes or performance techniques. Feelings of confidence motivate kids and stretch into other parts of life—problems become challenges to tackle, rather than disappointments to avoid. Gaining mastery is supported by trust. Setting achievement goals is risky. Students need to trust their teacher and themselves. Building trust and relationships is another one of my chief strengths. I...

...also love to edit essays and work with people on conveying their ideas more clearly and eloquently! In sessions, I generally ask guiding questions and try different approaches to the same problem until something fits and makes sense to the student.

I'm very friendly and I'm happy to help with whatever you need!

...tutor after school among teachers. (Since I graduated, the school has created a designated program for high-performing students to do the same.) Now I attend Reed College full time as an English major. Unsurprisingly, English is my favorite subject to tutor. I have created grammar worksheets for fun in my spare time and enjoy editing essays. I have helped students from various language backgrounds including ESL and strong native speakers. Unlike most English majors, I...

I graduated with Molecular Biology and Computer Science degrees from Oregon State University, and have worked as a tutor in a test prep company for 2 years.

...sessions for my students because I want to make an impact on every student's experience with learning. I have been told by multiple clients that I have good interpersonal skills.

...I realized I wanted to be a scientist. As a high school student, I was exceptionally mediocre at school. Fortunately I was accepted to Western Washington University.

Through hard work, endless study sessions, and a blossoming...

...and English at a charter school in Providence, R.I., and a year working with 6th graders. Having worked across different age groups, I recognize that there is no one correct method of tutoring. Indeed, it is to my advantage to work across the age groups, because it has allowed me to develop my style of tutoring, which is entirely student driven. By that, I mean I go into a tutoring session ready to respond to...
