I grew up in Minnesota and went to college in Madison, Wisconsin. While those are nice places, I love Texas and have no intention of living in that cold weather again. I moved to Austin seven years ago for graduate school, where I received a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature. During school I taught English literature, Spanish, and Portuguese. My strengths are definitely writing, literary studies, and foreign languages. My studies also branch into the social sciences such as History and Political Science (my B.A. is in the latter).I enjoy teaching in the classroom, but really appreciate the one-on-one dynamic of tutoring. The constant direct communication allows the student and tutor to focus on precisely what the student needs to learn or what skills they could most benefit from improving. Most of my tutoring has been with college and high school students, but I have worked with elementary and middle school aged students as well.My picture was taken at Taos Pueblo, New Mexico, and in my free time I like exploring Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado by car. I have a water-loving dog, so I try to bring her camping as much as possible. My other major hobby is music: I play guitar and (not very well) piano. I also watch a lot of comedic tv shows, movies, and stand-up.I look forward to working with clients on courses and skills of the Humanities, from basic reading and writing to literary analysis.

I have a Ph.D. from Columbia University in Mathematics Education and currently teach mathematics at Mercy College. I have tutored math since high school. I also have volunteered in this area, tutoring elementary school students in the Bronx for three school years. I enjoy tutoring all levels of mathematics from elementary level through college. At the high school and college levels, I especially enjoy teaching any level of algebra.I think of math problems as interesting puzzles and I hope to impart that sense to my students. I also believe that there is too much emphasis on speed in calculation or solution. I like to emphasize the importance of logic and understanding rather than speed or rote memorization. I have found that students who never liked math before can often become much more positive and accomplished when this approach is used.I left my career in law to become a mathematics teacher!I love yoga and practice regularly. In my spare time I like to learn about almost anything. This summer I took courses in Classical Mythology. I also like to ski, when I can.

I received my Bachelor of Education degree from Drake University where I majored in Educational Psychology. I also possess a Master of Business Administration degree. After spending a few decades in the manufacturing sector, I decided to come back to the field of education in order to contribute to posterity. I consider education imperative for future success, and my return to the field of education is a way of having a positive impact on tomorrow. Besides tutoring, I presently teach reading and writing at a major college. Additionally, my experience in the teaching field includes having taught middle school English in a Charter school. I also taught students in the Department of Juvenile Justice Services of a large municipality where I tutored students who had been arrested and had dropped out of high school. I taught and mentored these students, which culminated in them receiving a high school diploma from the state. One of my specialties is preparing students for critical tests. My concentration is in teaching English with an emphasis in writing and reading. My expertise includes teaching grammar including sentence structure, organization, and mechanics. I also concentrate on style, writing an essay, revising, and editing. My reading experience includes interpreting and analyzing informational text and reading literature. Moreover, I assess and teach student needs in comprehension, vocabulary, fluency prosody, and fluency accuracy. My hobbies include reading, jogging, kayaking, scuba diving, and playing the guitar.

Hi! My name is Jonathan and I am starting medical school next year!I graduated from UT-Austin in 2013 with a degree in Finance and most recently completed my Post-Baccalaureate premedical studies at the University of Houston.I love learning and teaching math, science, and standardized testing strategies!92nd percentile MCAT94th percentile SAT

As a classics major at Yale, I took upper-level, as well as graduate, courses in Latin and Greek. These included courses in Roman history, Latin literature, Latin and Greek composition, study of translation, and study of historical linguistics. I am deeply committed to teaching. During my undergraduate, I was heavily involved in mentoring younger students in my department. I taught a class on Greek literature in translation as a volunteer teacher through Splash at Yale. I helped moderate discussions of current events between high school students as a board member of Yale Model Congress.

I am a mature and responsible woman with several years experience as a tutor. My certification is for grades n-6; however, I have experience with students of all grade levels. My preference is to work with students at the public library as it offers a conducive atmosphere and resources. However I will consider traveling to a private home if the latter is not possible. I prefer to work nearby within the township of Huntington.

Seeing students succeed academically is incredibly rewarding, especially when they enjoy what they are learning. I love to meet new people from different backgrounds. I understand that not every student learns the same way, so I take a personal, tailored approach in my teaching. I am currently working toward my Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing and Psychology at Vanderbilt University. I am hoping to attend law school in a few years, so that I can work as a child advocacy attorney.

I am a recent graduate of Rutgers School of Law. I went to law school not with the intention of becoming a lawyer, but instead to gain the tools necessary to become a more effective advocate and teacher. I believe that the best form of advocacy is through education, specifically teaching.

I've always believed in the saying " having a purpose is the difference between making a living and making a life." I have been working in the Financial Industry for Thirteen years, I have completed my Bachelors in Law and Society. I initially chose Law because I have always wanted to embark on a career path where I can make a difference. My passion for service and my purpose in making a difference was what led me to the field of study in law.I have spent the past 13 years working in Corporate America as an Administrative Assistant supporting senior managers booking travel, managing calendars etc. Although I love my job I always feel I wanted to do more, I felt I wasn't making much of an impact and contributing to society. Working with senior managers has helped me to become a well rounded individual but something was missing.I've always looked for ways I can do more and fulfill my purpose by making a difference. I have a passion for learning and as a result I have always looked for ways to increase my knowledge. I have volunteered with organisations such as LIU school of continuing Ed. where I use my weekends to tutor students learning English I have also volunteered at 1199 Adult Learning Center each time I completed a class I would feel so fulfilled I felt I was making a difference and this made me happy. I have also completed a TESOL program during the time I was tutoring to help me be better equipped to assist the students. I have also traveled to Tanzania numerous times and found the Swahili language interesting as well as the people.Education is very important to me and this is the reason I have decided to enroll in the World Language Teacher Graduate Certificate Program. I do believe that shaping minds from a young age is essential to how one's future is shaped. The youth are the future training young people at an early age by giving them the tools to succeed and educating them will boost their confidence and give them a better quality of life and also prepare them to become leaders.Thank you.

I am an aspiring teacher currently pursuing graduate studies in education. There is nothing I enjoy more than discovering fun and creative ways to teach and learn. I can't wait to get started with you or your student and dive right in! My background in music and the arts helps me find novel ways of approaching various academic disciplines and has defined my core belief on education: well-rounded students and teachers must expose themselves to as many perspectives and disciplines as possible. When learning with me, you or your student can expect to engage with not only traditional discipline-specific texts, but also film, art, music and other relevant cultural mediums in order to form a holistic educational journey.
