In addition to teaching students how to excel inside and outside of a classroom setting, I am committed to the idea that learning should be enjoyed and not seen as a chore.

Finally, another goal in my teaching is to connect any subject matter (politics, research methods, statistics, history) to...

Thank you for considering me for your tutoring needs. My professional life has been dedicated to helping young people reach their full potential as a classroom teacher, personal tutor, and coach.

...ever be created. Through the inspiration of languages before it, English offers us an advanced understanding of our history, and propels us toward our future.

...importance of taking ownership of one's education, and supplying individualized support toward accomplishing learning goals of all kinds. A certified nerd of the humanities and liberal arts, especially religious and theological studies, philosophy, social, political, and critical theory.

I...

...had on the development of my life, changed me. My own passion for working with children extends from my desire to emulate the teachings of the role models and perform the same inspirational function in the lives of my students.

While doing so I was...

...in the cracks in the ceiling than any books being discussed. But one educator took a personal interest in me, and introduced me to Joseph Heller's letters. The humor pulled me in, and the insight kept me going. I was struck by a writer's power to put the world in sharp, sane relief. I pursued my newfound interest to a Bachelor's Degree in English at Princeton, and my current pursuit of a fiction MFA at...

...in education. While at college, I tutored elementary through high school students in English language arts, social studies and math. I also led after school art and cooking activities.

...my masters in mathematics. I reside in NYC/ Washington DC. I absolutely love teaching classical music and helping with writing. But my all time favorite would have to be singing. I love seeing when a student's light bulb goes off. I hope to help you to have your light bulb moment.

...writing. I am equally passionate about both subjects and greatly enjoy stimulating others' interest in them through education. As a tutor, I do so by emphasizing the importance of understanding the greater context of the subject into which the specific skills to be learned fit. I find this method to be successful in easing the learning process, particularly in mathematics, as it helps students both to see how the various topics they are learning fit...

..."did the author really mean to include that symbol? Why are we spending so much time talking about it?" I also had difficulty coming up with original thesis statements because, again, I wasn't entirely sure why we were writing thesis statements about books in the first place. Weren't books meant to be enjoyed? After studying English in college and after teaching middle school and high school English, I understand what I was missing when I...

...thoughts on paper. I attribute my aha moment to my fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Whitehill, who recognized something in me that I hadn't figured a way to express, yet. She had read My Brother Sam is Dead, by James Lincoln and Christopher Collier aloud, and asked us to write a reaction to the novel. Something in me ignited that day. As a teacher, I honor my inner voice by helping students of all ages find...

...my goal is to not only make sure that the student is comfortable with the material but to also ensure that the student believes that they are capable of learning said material and any material that may follow. Oftentimes, students assume that they are struggling simply because they are, "stupid" and are incapable of learning the material. I don't believe that is ever the case. I personally wrestled with this anxiety when I was in...
