Award-Winning English Tutors in Akron, OH

...this is my specialty! For example, I like to watch and play sports and listen to music. If I had a student with the same interests, I would use reading materials such as sports articles and song lyrics to appeal to that student. In math, I would use player statistics and sheet music to make concepts clear. In the end, I know is it important for students to connect with what they are learning in...

...Club and enjoy working with students, primarily in math and science. My favorite subject is physics because it combines science with math and is actually applicable to real life. My learning philosophy is to just do practice problems. The more practice, the easier each problem will be. Somebody can spend all day just studying notes, but he or she will learn best by just doing practice problems. Outside of school, I own a website design...

...a Bachelors Degree in English Literature from the University of Wisconsin Madison and a Masters of Arts in Education from the American Jewish University. I love to help young people find joy in reading and writing and sharpening their skills. In addition, I love to learn about current events and to examine what happen in the past.

...high school. As a tutor, I can work to solve this problem, and equip students with the tools necessary to succeed in Reading and Writing. In my experience, an engaging instructor can make a world of difference to a student who is struggling to perform at his or her full potential. In my work as a tutor, I have helped students who claimed ELA was their least favorite subject not only improve their academic performance...

...student likes sports, I may give him/her an essay to write about regarding sports--maybe a prompt such as: Should all students be required to participate in at least one sport while in school? Defend your position. If a student is more of a visual, creative learner, I may have him/her create a comic strip based off of what we just read in Macbeth. I also differentiate my instruction based on student's level of understanding. Rather...

Over the course of my career, I have held many positions - from waitress to lawyer to campaign staffer. Reflecting upon what I liked most about my varied jobs, I realized that inherent in each one was a responsibility to train and teach others. That responsibility, simultaneously humbling and exhilarating, is where my passion lies. I love using my education and experience, coupled with multimedia tools, to help others reach their full potential. ... As a campaign organizer and a big sister to two college students, I have come to believe that it is far better to ask students what kind of world problems they would like to solve, rather than what they want to be when they grow up. The former prompts the student to think about their passion and contemplate the many ways to work toward it, while the latter is more restrictive. I believe that teaching someone how to learn (how to approach a question with a logical, problem-solving mindset) is more important than rote memorization. Finally, there are some tools I have found effective in sticking to a study schedule. For example, instead of listing everything on a to-do list, schedule study time as an appointment.

...it may take. This will be accomplished through clear and thorough explanation of all relevant concepts followed by plenty of practice problems to ensure the student is familiar with the material, as I believe this is the most effective way to create a student's understanding of the content. I also believe it is of the utmost importance that we establish an environment that is conducive to learning. This means that the student and tutor should...

...day, I'd like to teach and I hope that working with Varsity Tutors and my clients will help me prepare to be a better teacher. I've always loved school, mainly because I had teachers who were extremely inspired by what they were teaching. They are why I think passion is the key to teaching and I hope to share my passion for learning with my clients. I think that a good teacher or tutor can...

...the country (Puerto Rico, Guam, Japan, and Indonesia). With degrees in Computer Science and an MBA, I am well versed in technical and business topics and language expressions but also I am a writer/reader/artist so also very familiar with less technical informal English. Life has allowed me to visit many countries and to meet even more fascinating and wonderful people. English is a bridge that allows us to communicate and connect in unique ways. I...
