...make writing a stress-free process of personal expression. I am also available for personal essay writing, resume writing, screenwriting/creative writing, and application writing. I am a huge movie buff--in fact I regularly teach film and television classes at the university level, so I'm always excited to talk about your favorite movies with you. I wrote my dissertation on horror movies, and I teach a class every semester on the AMC show "Breaking Bad."

...I'm probably spending time with my wife and son (born Sept 2012). Both are my pride and joy. Sports is another passion of mine - baseball, football, basketball, you name it (excited for the start of March Madness and baseball season!). I also enjoy going to movies, cooking (Cajun - lived in New Orleans), reading, and hanging out with friends. Life, for me, is about three things: Faith, Family, and Friends (and sometimes I'll add...

...many of the applications where the math will be applied, to help bring context to what we do. In my "free" time, I like to write novels (science fiction and fantasy), and crochet. I read a lot of science articles and books, and generally learning about new things. Lately, I've decided to try to relearn French, German and Japanese that I took in school many years ago. My favorite subject is astronomy.

...as a facilitator of a student's learning process, rather than as a commander. I believe that the more independently a student can obtain a set of skills or degree of knowledge, the more able they are to master it for life. That being said, seeking guidance, assistance, and possibly structure when struggling with particular concepts and assignments is every bit a part of the independent learning process. It's cliche, but I do believe there are...

...and Entertainment Management. I enjoy working on the business, operations, and logistics side of sports. I spent the last year working for the University of Virginia Athletic Department for both the Football and Men's Tennis Programs. I gained a vast amount of knowledge on the planning and attention to detail that goes into putting on a sporting event. I am proud of my accomplishment of helping the Men's Tennis Program win their first NCAA National...

My name is Haleema and I am a native Washingtonian. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Spanish before earning my Master's degree in Latin American Studies this past May. I have tutored Spanish for two years and recently completed my first year of teaching Spanish.

One of the reasons I enjoy tutoring the sciences in particular is simply because I like the subject matter. I enjoy studying how various things, chemical reactions, or physical systems work. But the main reason I enjoy tutoring is seeing my students gain understanding, the transfer of knowledge, and the 'I get it now' moment whether it is a child learning simple math or a high school or college student cramming for a Biology final.

...trained me in the critical thinking skills necessary for teaching Grammar, Foreign Languages, ESL, Math, and standardized test prep. I started tutoring when I was 15, and I was trained as a Student Teaching Intern with Breakthrough in 2010. I've tutored students ranging in age from 8 to 88. I love working with students individually or in small groups, and I readily change my lesson plans based on each individual's learning style.

Education is a third career for me after extensive experience in international diplomacy and the investing world. I am a graduate level instructor for an online university in international relations, law and business plus public sector management and communications. I also tutor secondary and middle school students in reading, writing and SAT/ACT test prep (non-math). I have worked successfully with TOEFL students.

...math along with College prep (SAT/ACT). For two years in college, I was a lecturer for an AP Chemistry class that ran for the whole academic school year. I am currently a teacher for the SAT in the Washington, D.C. area. I'm very excited to be a tutor for VarsityTutors. I have a very methodical approach to teaching. I want the students to understand the rationale behind the question. Yes, the student may get a...
