...choice. My personal favorite are history, literature, economics and politics. I have worked with a diverse age group of students, from elementary to university level, with the bulk of my experience with high school and college level work. I have a Master's Degree from the University of Washington in Public Administration and a BA from the University of Texas at Dallas in International Political Economy. Apart from academics, I enjoy photography and kayaking.

...students understand material at a foundational and conceptual level before advancing into specifics. Furthermore, I believe the learning process should be as exciting and collaborative as possible, and that each lesson should be tailored to a student's particular learning styles and needs. Bottom line, I love working with people and helping them grasp intimidating concepts. Learning should be exhilarating, and I always try to facilitate that thrill. I welcome feedback from my students and their...

...especially enjoy creating games, quests, activities, and visual aids that “trick” children into learning. I also place special emphasis on critical thinking skills, which can be applied in the classroom and life; as the saying goes, you can give a child the solution to one problem, but if you teach a child to think things through logically, then he or she can solve problems forever! Well, I think the original saying had to do with...

...and state tests. I have scored 800/800 in SAT 1 math, SAT 2 math. I have scored 760/800 in SAT writing. I received scores of 5/5 in AP Calculus AB and BC and have taken numerous other APs, passing the APs in Physics, Biology, Literature, Language and Composition, Environmental Science, Economics, US history, and Chemistry. I was the President of my high school's only tutoring club and only math club, Infinity Math Club, where I...

...and Literature. History is especially fun to teach as there is often a perception that it's a boring or tedious subject. I really try to break out of that stereotype and make the subject more relevant and interesting for my students. Ultimately, I really like to take the time to get to know my students and work together to help them achieve their goals. In my free time I really love playing volleyball, going to...

...college level, for the past four years. I primarily tutor subjects relating to the Humanities, such as Ancient Languages, History, and English Composition. My favorite subject to tutor is Latin, since I regard Latin as the most beautiful and intricate of the human languages. When tutoring I first ask for a copy of the course syllabus/schedule, assess the needs, goals, and expectations of the student in the course, and then set up a tutoring system...

...the subjects I teach, and I possess a compassionate understanding of what it takes to be a good teacher. There have been times in my life when I was also the struggling student. Therefore, I understand both sides of the equation, and I strive to reach that wonderful moment where they feel as if they 'get it' and feel good about themselves with confidence in their abilities in a particular subject. To me, that is...

...subject that they find challenging. I enjoy teaching, and I have tutored Spanish to native English speakers as well as taught English as a Second Language (ESL) for the state of Arizona. As someone who has learned both Spanish and Russian through classroom instruction, I find it rewarding to help students enjoy the challenges of learning a foreign language at school. As someone who loves to read and write, I also enjoy working with students...

...to find the best way to get there together using the student's preferred learning style. Outside of teaching and tutoring, I am very involved with music, hiking, and swimming. I love being outdoors and swam competitively growing up. All through my life, I have also played instruments and sung in choirs. I love learning through and listening to music. While my favorite tutoring subjects are Spanish and ESL/ELL, I also enjoy tutoring reading, writing,...

I majored in Middle Eastern Studies and minored in math during undergrad at Cornell. Since graduating I've worked in a number of fields and countries, although the common theme is teaching English and researching in the Middle East. As an English Teaching Assistant at Weill Medical School in Qatar, I became competent at editing and guiding students in writing. I'm now a first year fellow studying Policy Analysis at the Pardee RAND Graduate School.

...Euclid's Elements to Pascal's Penses, I developed close reading skills and a love for all things literary. I then passed on those skills and that passion when I began teaching at Landmark School in Massachusetts. At Landmark, a school for students with language-based learning differences, I especially sought to strengthen students' reading and writing skills. Since coming to California to pursue my master's and doctorate degrees, I have continued to develop students' reading and writing...

...their reading and writing to empower them to freedom. One of my favorite historical books is The Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglas. In his autobiography, Douglas, a former slave, describes how his masters kept him enslaved by making it illegal for slaves to learn to read and write. However, one of Douglas' kinder mistresses educated him, and this power enabled him to run away and eventually write his radical memoir that led to...

...Scripps I had the opportunity to gain great conceptual understanding in both the sciences and humanities. I have always had a passion for learning. My curiosity for knowledge has allowed me to study in the humanities, the sciences, and in music. Over the past six years I have had various opportunities to tutor students in these subject areas. My main goal for these students, as well as future students, is to gain conceptual understanding of...

...I lived in Colombia for a couple of years. My desire to elevate others continued and witnessing their victories, big and small, continued to impact me. I had a particular student who worked with me for 2 years. He walked in with no knowledge. We were having full conversations in English towards the end. Working with them was one of my proudest moments. I am an educator, through and through. I look forward to working...

...planning on enrolling into a Master's program for Biology in the Fall of 2016. I have tutored plenty of middle school, high school, and mostly college-level courses in the fields of biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and english literature. Teaching is a passion of mine, and my personal philosophy is to encourage students to build an enthusiasm for learning and to use that energy to excel in any course or project they are faced with.... Enthusiasm and...

...English, Writing, and SAT Prep for Critical Reading and Writing. One of the things that make me stand out as a teacher is that I remember well what it's like to struggle in a subject. I was not good at math or science, so I understand what it is like to have difficulty grasping concepts. I can easily see how a student learns, and explain the concept in a manner in which the student can...

...material. This job has helped me practice putting together lesson plans based on common core requirements, rather than just using the student's own material. As a tutor, it's not always necessary to supplement the student's schoolwork with additional material, but if appropriate I feel very comfortable creating targeted lesson plans. As for high school students I've mainly tutored Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Trigonometry, SAT math prep, Chemistry, and Statistics. I have much experience tutoring...

...society can give us today, and one of the best things we can pursue for ourselves. All knowledge is connected, and rather than approaching a subject as simply that subject by itself, everything we learn opens new doors for our minds, and into subjects we sometimes never knew about or never believed to be as intertwined. For example: is it simply coincidence that the studies of astronomy and philosophy tend to happen at the same...

...Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. As a language-learner and teacher, I'm aware of what areas of the Spanish language are most difficult for English speakers and how to effectively navigate challenging concepts.

In high school, I was a National Merit Scholar and National AP Scholar, and I am very familiar with test preparation strategies for the Reading...
