...a host family. I have a lot of interests, but my favorite things to do are traveling, reading, learning languages, listening to music and going to concerts, surfing, and going to the movies. My favorite band is OutKast, my favorite book is Flowers for Algernon, and my favorite movie is (I'm cheating) the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Surfing is my absolute favorite pastime though - it's both the most relaxing and the most exciting...

I have two masters' degrees, and am a certified teacher in the State of Massachusetts. As a tutor, I am both flexible and patient.

...Beatles and Billy Joel fan, planning to go see Paul McCartney this summer if possible. As someone who played baseball in high school, I always am up to throw the ball around or talk about the game, especially if you are a New York Yankees fan.

I believe in guiding...

Hi, I'm Jessika, a current law student at Roger Williams University of Law. I graduated from University at Albany majoring in Political Science and Cybersecurity. I also minored in Middle Eastern Studies/ Arabic and studied abroad in Israel and Belize.

...their students, regardless of experience or subject matter. Aspiring to this, I am as transparent with my students as possible. I guide them to "question everything," even me. I highlight as much my own questions as answers, encouraging them to do the same, in hopes to demonstrate that the latter cannot exist without the former, and that each holds equal value. I select readings and design assignments that will resonate with my students current lives;...

...professors. I plan to earn a master's degree in either of my majors and then go on to teach. I believe everyone has the capability for writing well. What I hope to help people with, are their unique problems which inhibit them from being able to express themselves as well as they would like, taught in a manner catered to each student's style. Very rarely is the problem a misunderstanding of a specific text or...

...good grades (although we do that, too); I work to strengthen my students' ambition to know more and to use academic success as a measure for how much they are learning. Most teachers don't like to be asked why students have to know math or grammar or history and so on; to me, there is no better or more important question. My tutoring sessions are conversations. We ask each other questions about the material, and...

...are asking for guidance from me to be a more confident learner. I try to create an environment in which the student and I enter a collaboration: the student feels they need to bring their best work and also can tell me (very) occasionally if they are under-prepared. After one session or several, the student has the confidence to complete a like assignment on their own. If not, I'm always willing to help again!
