...then decided to take me out of public education briefly for 3 years to teach me how to read and write. Because of her intensive work with me, my love for learning soared and I eventually became the top English and Social Sciences student of my high school graduating class.

...I have had the opportunity to work in various educational settings which include charter schools, a year round, multi-track campus, public schools, and a campus on a military installation. Analyzing literature, writing, and working to remediate students who need preparation for standardized tests is what I enjoy most. I am a proponent educator who believes education is meant to help learners acquire knowledge, explore, discover, and have different experiences. Furthermore, it empowers learners to use...

...biology major at Trinity University in San Antonio. I am involved in undergraduate research in biology and am the director of a STEM-based educational outreach program. I have experience tutoring Latin, English, Math, and Biology at elementary through college levels.

...for teaching, especially languages. I am currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in Classical Studies at William and Mary; Latin and French are my specialty! I also enjoy teaching English grammar and syntax. My goal is to secure students with the skills they need in order to succeed in the classroom and beyond. I work closely with students, giving them honest feedback on what they need to improve on, and I adapt my teaching style to...

...well in. I also am hoping to become an SI, or Supplemental Instructor, in classes such as Psychology and History at my college. While comfortable teaching a large number of subjects, History, Psychology, Writing, Reading, and Geography are of my most superior subjects. The only thing I enjoy more than teaching, is learning, and I hope to instill that same thirst for knowledge in my students with my methods of teaching. As the first of...

...day activities by using them to relate and help make the comprehension process much easier. My goal is to get students to the point where they can teach someone else what they have learned therefore showing that they have a mastered a topic. Above all, with my ensuing patience, I provide an environment for them and their families to trust me to work with them until they get it. No child gets left behind!

...to others through teaching and tutoring. I have always been an avid reader and loved great literature, and writing is an integral (and often time-consuming!) part of being a graduate student; for these reasons, tutoring English is also a delight for me. As an instructor and tutor, my philosophy is that grand understandings of the material emerge from more systematic, step-by-step instruction in the "component parts" of a given topic. In the course of helping...

...many years focusing on this one area. Many people have often commented how boring studying history can be, but with the right tutor history comes alive! I gear my personal tutoring style to meet the needs of my students. I believe in discussing your current academic struggles then working together to devise a plan as a team to clear your hurdles. Although I'm comfortable teaching various types of history, my academic interests extend far beyond...

I'm here to help.

...I instructed reading programs for the Institute of Reading Development, where I saw that, as my 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...

...struggle in some areas, but struggling does not indicate inability. I have personally worked with students who have been described as unable to function in a classroom, or incapable of meeting high expectations, and I have watched those students grow immensely when given the opportunity.

Nowadays, I work with a theatre company called Grey Room NYC and a non-profit organization called Leave Out Violence. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, playing and watching basketball (Go Bulls!), enjoying funny television shows (Louie is...

...student's learning process. I incorporate music and film when I know it can expand the technical into the real. This allows the student to attach schoolwork to real life as it is experienced by native speakers of the target language. In all English and History-related subjects, I use my knowledge and deep love for world history and literature to encourage focused research. I couple this with contextual information. Again, if a student can learn the...
