I also coached competitive high school debate (following my own participation in the event throughout high school), and taught students research, writing, argumentation, and public...

...schools today. Deficit learning focuses on what a student doesn't know, what (s)he isn't able to do. This kind of instruction can be overwhelming for some students. That's why I've dedicated myself as a tutor to reversing this trend, and encouraging students to recognize the skills they already have, and use them to solve new, bigger problems. I've worked with students as young as five years old, all the way to graduate students working on...

...sciences. I have ample experience assisting with college essays, including my own which played a significant role for my getting admitted into several medical schools.

...cards and other learning tools. By selecting me as a tutor, you'll get more than just a bunch of basic practice problems and rote writing exercises. Tutoring should not be a "one size fits all" approach. My goal is to work with you to create a personalized learning plan that acknowledges your strengths and puts them to use in helping you actually learn a subject, not just memorize it. I am well-versed in a variety...

I have a calm, positive, and encouraging demeanor that reduces...

...school, and college students from different cultural backgrounds, both one-on-one and in classroom setting. In several instances, students were in my class only because they were required to take it. In spite of this, I succeeded in instilling in many of them a respect for the subject and a grasp of the fundamental principals. Because of my technical experience, I am comfortable using a combination of technology and traditional teaching methods to communicate mathematical concepts...

Last year, I worked as an English teacher in Tokyo. There, I cultivated a student-centered teaching style, where I serve as a guide for my students. I absolutely love to teach. I'm from Portland, Oregon, and in my free time, I love to read, write, and watch sports.

...know students and gear the lessons toward their interests, which helps them learn more quickly, retain new skills better, and enjoy the tutoring sessions more. I particularly enjoy teaching science, writing, and test prep. With test prep I've found that supplemental work on fundamental skills helps students improve their scores much more than working through a test prep book alone. Watching students develop confidence in their abilities and improve their performance makes my tutoring sessions...

...we perhaps did not have growing up. Ultimately, it is this mindset and the passion that comes with it that make me a great tutor. Furthermore, my students and their parents were very happy with their progress through the curriculum while they were with me. Some of my students even progressed far into school, and city wide competitions, such as the annual speech competition. In regard to their age, they had ranged from elementary to...

...process strictly confined to a classroom or hour long session. I approach education with an understanding that learning techniques are applicable throughout the lifetime. Therefore, my style is energetic, excited, and robust in hopes of inspiring similar reverie of learning in the students I teach. An excellent practitioner of education is equal parts expertise and enthusiasm; I represent the balance necessary to learn beyond next week's test, but months and years into the student's academic...

...and foremost, it is important that each student identifies the reason that he or she is studying for. Once that goal is vividly envisioned by the student, he or she will find enjoyment and satisfaction in understanding and applying new concepts as the student progresses towards his or her goal one step at a time. After we gain some momentum, it is simply a matter of time before the student masters each mathematical concept. I...

...different subjects, but Social Studies, Math, Literature, and Writing/Language Arts are my favorites. Social Studies and Literature allow students to discuss their own ideas and opinions about the subject, while Math requires more problem solving to best learn the concepts. I believe that learning, not just knowing, comes from asking the question 'why?' Only by thoroughly understand 'why' can learning occur, and learning allows people to successfully engage with the world around them. Outside of...

...year of high school, when I found a love for chemistry. Without the encouragement of my scientifically inclined family, I might have lost interest in science long before that chemistry class. As a woman, I hope young girls will be inspired to follow a path similar to mine. While women are 50% of the population, they are significantly underrepresented in STEM fields. I believe that there are many more women out there who might have...
