I love and understand the shape of the English language, from the components of a well-constructed sentence, to the structure of a paragraph, to the discursive crescendo of a well-written essay, and I convey these concepts to my students with passion and humor. My favorite aspect of tutoring is re-discovering the course content through my students. I believe that each student brings unique talents and perspectives to the material, and I enjoy finding...

...I have lots of training in language and in offering essay support. While I enjoy tutoring in all subjects, I especially love English (and any type of writing), Social Studies, History, and Spanish. I'm also dyslexic, so I had to overcome a little more difficulty than many of my peers to learn how to read and write, but now those are two of my favorite things to do. As a result, I'm very patient and...

...and engaging. The more a student interacts with content in ways that suit their personal learning style, the better they will recall the information in the future - especially come test time! This belief is a major component of my teaching philosophy, especially as it pertains to tutoring. The other part of my philosophy is that teaching should be a collaborative process. Instead of the instructor providing answers to the student, guided exploration should drive...

...2018 and after a couple of years in the undergraduate learning environment, I am excited to return to teaching.

Besides nurturing interests in many academic areas over the years, I have also sharpened strong communication skills by frequently discussing materials with my instructors and fellow students. To check if I've mastered a particular concept, I often try to imagine how I would explain it to others. I believe strong oral communication, along with an enthusiasm for the material, is crucial to...

...they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most...

...do find the history of any nation or time period fascinating. I also enjoy teaching and tutoring for the SATs and other standardized exams, in part because I believe that any student can improve once he or she knows how to study, and most importantly, how to build the endurance to take a standardized test as lengthy as the SAT. I approach the SATs much in the same way that I approach running – if...
