"I am so adjective, I verb nouns."I believe relationships are more important than test scores, and people more important that numbers, budgets, or grades. But if we have to play along with this this game, we may as well play with skill.

My dreams and aspirations are around science and medicine.Even though my career has taken various turns, my passion was in teaching. I completed my high school diploma and graduated from Palmetto Senior High. I got into Miami Dade College, where I enrolled in the science department and majored in biology.During my first semester at Miami Dade College, I won a full tennis scholarship, which helped with tuition and books. After graduating with an Associate of Arts degree, I won another tennis scholarship to St. Thomas University.There, I completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology. As an athlete, I traveled frequently. I was fortunate to experience many different cultures and meet people of various backgrounds. It has enabled me to be flexible and versatile to unexpected turns and twists in life. Maturity provided a stable ground that kept me in the direction I face today.During my college attendance, I volunteered for Jackson Memorial and Baptist Hospital of Miami. It was there that I devoted my time and energy to humanity. I developed a vast understanding of the world of medicine. I volunteered many hours in The Burn Center, Trauma Unit, Pediatric, ICU, ER, and Pathology.cI then got accepted to Barry University, where I received a Master's degree in biomedical sciences. The education and experience I have received have given me the confidence, knowledge, and well-rounded background in medicine and science.I then entered medical college (Xavier University School of Medicine), which provides the knowledge and art of healing the human body. It encompassed many healthcare practices developed to sustain and restore an individual's health.I finally graduated with my MD degree. I could not imagine not being a part of such an exciting, exhilarating, and rewarding field as science and medicine.

Growing up, kids like to pretend they're going to be doctors or professional athletes or astronauts. I wanted to be a teacher. I'm not even kidding - I had my own classroom in my garage where the neighborhood students came. This started in third grade and continued into middle school. I would find out what they knew, teach them a lesson, and then assign them homework. I would tell (tattle) their parents if they didn't do the work. My first parent/ teacher conferences were held at my neighbor's house in their living room. I assessed my friend Doug's progress in math, which was dreadful from what I remember, and gave pointers on how he could use flashcards to increase his fluency. And yes, I used the word fluency.I feel that my teaching philosophy can best be explained with an adage that I was introduced to in another position: Keep the student at the center of every decision you make. This guides my planning and instruction every single day. I remember that students are the reason I am here, and the "easy" approach for me may not be what is best for them. My aim is to make sure that my students understand the material, which requires me to assess mastery in a variety of manners. There is no one way to teach or assess a student, so, as a teacher, I cannot give up. I enjoy being innovative and spending my free time researching new technologies or approaches to a subject. It is my goal to always be a student of my field so I do not forget a student's mentality.Students should be able to also apply information from my class to their outside lives. It is my hope that they feel empowered after gaining skills in my course so that they can better their lives, as well as the world. My students do not just learn how to write; they learn how powerful writing can influence those in control. They see the power in words and want to use them rather than have to use them. Discussions take on a life of their own as I carefully poke at their logic to make them use their critical thinking skills. We do not just turn in a paper and move on - we use those same skills, but apply them in different ways all throughout the course. Language is life, and we need to learn control over it to succeed.

I am endlessly curious about people's varied and complex experiences, perspectives, and philosophies, and thus have spent a good part of my life in academia, earning a Bachelor's degree from Vassar College and Master's degrees from NYU and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.From 2015-2020, I was a teaching assistant for a range of courses spanning Comparative Literature, Communication Arts, Folklore Studies, and Beginning Russian.From my long-standing roles as both an instructor and a student, I know that teaching does not lie only in imparting specific knowledge. I help students succeed in their area of study by making sure they understand underlying methodologies and can build their skills through guided practice. Thus, they can carry what they learned beyond their short-term goals and truly get something lasting from my teaching. Likewise, I know that students' confidence and motivation makes a huge difference in the learning process; I care deeply about these factors and thus make sure to be a patient and supportive mentor, to engage students in their subject and encourage them throughout their progress.Being a teaching assistant was an amazing experience, but the most rewarding moments happened during my office hours when I could connect with students on a more personal level and together, work through their individual questions or concerns with the kind of depth and thoroughness that would not be viable in a time-restricted, twenty-five person class. Being there to celebrate a student's breakthroughs and seeing firsthand how far a student could come in a single semester showed me just how much difference these one-on-one sessions can make. I want to be the one to make it happen!I specialize in literature and writing about literature - how to engage with a text, how to analyze it, and how to formulate one's own original ideas into a convincing, compelling essay. Much of my work was with college freshmen, so I am especially aware of the difficulties commonly encountered at that stage as students must strive to meet new, more rigorous expectations; whether you are looking to do well in college or just want to impress your high school teachers, I can offer an insider's perspective on that important transitionary stage and help you level up!The subjects I most enjoy tutoring are creative writing and Russian language. Both are highly focused on students specific interests; thus students are invested in what they want to say and I can learn from them and about them. That makes it a wonderful, rewarding experience for us both.Creative Writing is something I consider to be mentoring rather than teaching, as it is the student who knows the most about the work they write - whether it's about the motivations of the characters, the particular associations and emotions that a line is intended to carry over, or anything else. Often, it takes questions to uncover these bits of secret knowledge, and the answers may not come right away. But when they finally do, it is such a privilege to be there as the short story or a poem takes shape, or falls into place, or suddenly develops a twist that even the student, the creative writer, did not expect! In the months before the pandemic, I've had the amazing opportunity to tutor creative writing at the 8th grade level, and will be happy to provide guidance to creative writers of any age!As for Russian, learning a foreign language is a gargantuan task if you want to do it well, but it's fascinating to think that so much of it can be defined with just an alphabet, a dictionary, and a list of grammar rules. Seeing these three elements come together into full-fledged ideas from students who had no knowledge of the language before is incredible - we can see just how far we can go with just a few basics of the language. Learning a foreign language is also a physical task insofar as one needs to produce the sounds well enough to be understood, or even to better pass for a native speaker. As a bilingual speaker of Russian and English, I am well positioned to understand the different nuances of each language's sounds and explain the mechanics of the pronunciation to enhance how good you sound. Language study allows an entire world of expression to open up before you. While the direction of study is always up to the student, I can make this especially rewarding by sharing music, movies, or stories so that you can explore the culture using the language skills you've gained.

I am a rising senior at Washington University in St. Louis pursuing a Bachelor's in English Literature. I also have a minor in Educational Studies, as I plan to become a high school English teacher. I plan to go to graduate school to get my Master's in teaching English literature and Special Education 7-12. I have a lot of interests, but my favorite things to do are ply golf, run, sing, listen to music, and read. I started a girls' golf team at my high school, and I ran cross country! I also love to bake. Most recently I tried out a recipe for cinnamon rolls and it was AMAZING! My favorite book - it's really hard to pick - is the Great Gatsby, and my favorite movie is Shawshank Redemption.I have a lot of experience tutoring Pre-K, elementary and middle school children in phonics, reading, writing, science, and math. In high school, I spent almost everyday tutoring children in these subjects at a nearby elementary school. Recently, I helped teach a young boy with speech delays how to read and write. I'm really passionate about teaching students not only how to read and write well, but also to enjoy doing it! I also love coaching children in math and science to help them learn the material and feel confident about it! I am very comfortable assigning homework for different subjects and different grade levels. If I had to choose, I'd say that my favorite subject to tutor is reading. I believe reading is an essential, life-long skill, and I love supporting students as they become stronger, more passionate readers.Additionally, since I am an English major, I am very familiar with a wide variety of literature - I have taken classes about American, British, and Postcolonial literature, to name a few! I am more than able to tutor students of all ages (elementary to college (and beyond!)).I am extremely comfortable helping students struggling with the reading and writing sections of the SAT and the SAT Literature Subject Test.I am very skilled at writing essays, and I am passionate about grammar. I can help with general essay writing, or more specifically with college essay writing!I look forward to working with you!

I am 20 years old, and I am currently an undergraduate student at Drexel University. As an advocate for a versatile education, I am majoring in Behavioral Economics with a double minor in Finance and Management Information Systems. I firmly believe that in order to achieve success, one must strive to attain a strong academic foundation and a well-rounded skillset. Even though my favorite subjects to teach are English and Mathematics, my goal is to help all sorts of people from different backgrounds with a variety of subjects that range from Music Theory to Study Skills. I am very passionate about what I do and hopefully, with some encouragement, you will become as passionate as I am about education.

I am a graduate of Sinclair Community College, the University of Dayton, and Cleveland State University. I have an Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts from Sinclair Community College, a Bachelor of Arts in English with a Spanish minor from the University of Dayton, and a Master of Arts in English from Cleveland State University. Over the last decade, I have tutored numerous community college students at two community colleges in the state of Ohio. While I tutored primarily English and Spanish courses, I have tutored many courses in the Liberal Arts curriculum, including History, Political Science, and other Modern Languages. I especially enjoy tutoring anything that combines any number of these subjects together, as I am a firm believer that writing and literature are a part of culture and are a reflection of it. As a tutor, I like to help students build connection with their subject and its relevance in the wider world. Furthermore, I want to provide of how one's academic pursuits can infuse other parts of one's life. My style of tutoring is student-driven; I like to adapt to an individual student while utilizing skills I have learned through my tutoring experience and my learning experience. In my spare time, I am often writing, reading, watching baseball, and engaging with media as literature. I never stop the pursuit of knowledge.
