...currently studying Arabic as well. I was homeschooled for much of my life and loved it, but completed my last three years of high school in a public school and am thus well acquainted with the various forms of standardized testing. When I'm not studying I like singing and theatre, reading, playing the piano, climbing trees and doing anything outdoors. I have been tutoring Spanish at CMU for a year now, and am also well...

...greatly enjoys instructing young people in writing, history, and business skills, and believe that every student can acquire an appreciation for these subjects. I believe the best way to get kids to succeed in a subject is to demonstrate to them why it is an important area of knowledge, and how it fits into the bigger scope of their worldview. If they are motivated and excited to understand the material in front of them, they'll...

...because I am young and enthusiastic. I can relate to the kids I tutor because I recently experienced the classes and standardized tests that they are taking. I use an informal style so that the student can feel comfortable asking questions. I try to connect personally to the students so that they have fun and look forward to tutoring. I tutor standardized tests and most high school classes. I have two years of experience tutoring...

...I find tutoring to be a very rewarding experience not just for myself but for my students- especially when I see the "light bulb" go off in someone's head and a concept that has been giving difficulties is finally understood! My teaching approach is very flexible and catered to the individual that I am working with because I believe that everyone has their own preferences and different learning styles. I try to present information in...

...peoples, and cultures both near and far that I learned young while describing my family history - with a father from Cape Town, South Africa, and a mother from New Orleans - to others. Tutoring mathematics (and standardized tests) means breaking an idea down to its most basic parts, figuring out why and how it works in a way that brings great improvement in both understanding and practical performance. In my spare time, I love...

...school as an interventionist working with small groups of students. Although, they were considered to be at the same level that did not necessarily mean that my lesson plan would work for everyone in that group. I also tutored these same students and others after school and that was often where I got to know them as students the best. I just think it is really important to recognize that every student is an individual,...

...I first started tutoring in high school, and I've enjoyed helping students from kindergarten age through college work through challenging concepts to gain a better understanding of the material. I'm a strong believer that "hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard". Not all subjects come easy to everyone, but with the right attitude, anything is possible. I hope that through tutoring I can help students set and reach their academic goals and establish...

...and I would love to be your tutor! My main subject is Spanish, as I am fully bilingual an currently work as a Spanish-English interpreter at a professional level. I also have a passion for historical subjects ranging from basic social studies to world history. I maintain a reading regiment at a high level in order to stay abreast of current events, as well as to maintain my understanding of current and past sociological trends.

...experience, and have developed tremendously as a writer and critical thinker. I hope to help students do the same as a tutor. My teaching philosophy is simple: work with students to get them to connect the concepts together to solve a problem or understand an idea. If you can visualize each fundamental point and connect the dots in your head, you're well on your way to finding the solution. I teach a variety of subjects,...

...to refine my own abilities to transmit information. Working with a language barrier, I learned how to break down complex ideas into more concrete and understandable topics and deliver that information. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Literature, Writing, French, and both U.S. and World History. I enjoy helping students solve complex problems and learn critical thinking skills. In my spare time, I am an avid traveler and...
