...learning from them as much as they have learned from me. I am currently working as a youth mentor at an alternative charter high school in Lakewood, and I love every moment of it, as difficult as those moments may be. My greatest strength and joy as a tutor is English language and literature - whether you have a third-grader reading their first novel, or an eleventh-grader studying for the SAT or AP English, I...

...the Writing Center at UW-M and have also studied tutoring pedagogy. My method of tutoring is to first discuss the assignment with the student, read the assignment prompt and then read the student's essay. I work top-down; that is, I look for higher level problems, and a fully developed thesis statement and/or clear supporting evidence, before looking at mechanical issues such as grammar and spelling. This method is student-centered, and I work to get the...

...help any student--whether it's mastering a mathematical concept, improving a standardized test score, or perfecting an essay. I tutor for the ACT and SAT, as well as middle- and high school-level math and English (i.e., essay writing and reading comprehension). These four topic areas are my favorite subjects to tutor for a few reasons: first, the ACT/SAT--for better or for worse--is the ultimate equalizer when it comes to your college application. Improving your score by...

...of English with students; I love to teach these subjects because they are highly valuable in any course of life or study. English has always had my heart, and the way I show that is through my success in the subject and teaching others how to love English as well. I recently was published by my university for my essay on anthropology, which reflects my dedication to this subject. In high school, I performed well...

...student currently working on my PhD in Literature. While I love reading and writing, my favorite part of graduate school has been working as a teaching assistant and helping undergraduate students improve their reading and writing skills. I love discovering students' different interests and personalities and seeing how their own unique knowledges come out in their work. As a TA, I found that students' writing changed the most when we could work one-on-one in office...

...is Marcus Westphal. I am a recent college graduate from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh where I studied English as my Major.

...and writing, I also spent two years studying engineering and have tutored students in college mathematics courses. I am comfortable describing concepts in chemistry and physics as well.

...my third year at UW-Madison majoring in Communication Sciences & Disorders and Music Performance! After I finish my undergraduate degree I am planning to go to graduate school to become a speech-language pathologist. I have experience giving flute lessons, and did some tutoring in high school which included editing essays and helping with algebra, pre-calculus, and calculus AB. I definitely enjoy tutoring for math the most, but I would love to do ACT tutoring as...

I believe that education is a vital investment in a person's growth and this shapes my approach to tutoring. I am excited to assist, encourage, and compassionately push my students to write as well as they can.

...encourages students to confidently tackle problematic subjects. I encourage broad scope understanding by breaking down big overarching themes until the big picture really comes into focus. I don't leave students with a fuzzy, general picture, nor do I dwell on rote memorization. Sometimes the best way to memorize facts is through specific examples, quirky facts, interesting individuals, and stories that have staying power. More than all of that... I am HERE. I am here for...

...worked part-time at the Office of Undergraduate Admission @ Northwestern University (Evanston, IL). I am also a proud alumnus of NU, and enjoyed my time there tremendously.

...say that to be arrogant because I am humbled by their kind words. However, since education is as important as I said above, I take these words as the greatest compliments I could ever receive. I think the reason that I have been able to work so well with so many different students is because I am able to quickly forge relationships based on mutual respect. I treat students as people first, something we all...

...students' reading skills improved, their overall confidence skyrocketed. They became better students because they stopped feeling incapable and inept. This experience is the foundation of my tutoring philosophy. I believe education increases one's own sense of ability and self-worth. Because of this, I aim to inspire interest and excitement in my students, not simply teach them effect ways to memorize a textbook. In this way, I agree with William B. Yeats in that "education is...
