...a stand up comedian and I love to make people laugh. In College I majored in political science and creative writing so people always say I'd be a good speech writer for politicians. I enjoy running and writing poetry - one day I'd love to have one of my plays performed live on stage. But until that day, I love just hanging out with my friends and going and seeing scifi movies - anything which...

I I have worked in service oriented environments since the age of 14, and have not left the industry since.

...I have taught children, friends, colleagues, clients, and subordinates throughout my life and it is the single most enjoyable part of my job. I strongly believe that, teaching a student the "why" of something is far more important than simple memorization; it is this understanding of the material that helps the student apply the theory to a completely different fact pattern. While I tutor students in a broad range of subjects, my passions are towards...

I am a professional writer, with 6 published novels, 1000s of magazine and newspaper articles, and a degree from University of Massachusetts.

...high school I expanded to work with middle school students. While college was a busier time for me, I still managed to volunteer and work with primary age children teaching dance. I love working with students and sharing my passion for writing, reading, and the arts.

I work to build confidence and foster a love for learning in subjects that the student may not enjoy.

...proctor examinations. My responsibilities as a teaching assistant have been carried out successfully, enhancing my teaching skills.

My favorite subject is chemistry, but I am proficient in many other areas as well, which I am willing...

...poetry or Afro-Am lit. I graduated from UCLA with B.A. in African American Literature and English. A majority of the courses and subject matter I've dealt with involved African American authors, however, my initial literature foundation is deeply rooted in English literature (Middle Ages, 16th and early 17th century, the restoration and romantic periods). I am obsessed with everything from Beowulf to Keats and W.E.B. Du Bois to Ta-Nehisi Coats. As well as a few...

...Brook University. I am a research engineer and have 5 years of work experience as an engineer. In addition, I have worked with students throughout high school, college and post-college as a tutor.

...tutor in the off-season. My specialty was biology throughout my time in school. However, I took a lot of pride in my trigonometry and algebra skills which continued to serve me well into college physics classes. I want to make sure students can connect the material they are learning to their own lives so that education becomes something they truly value. It can be impossible to grasp the material at the same speed that it...

I'm creative, open-minded, and detail-oriented. I like finding ways to make curriculum interesting and engaging. I have experience as a subject tutor, peer writing tutor, and classroom leader. I grew up with a learning disorder/disability, so I am empathetic to students who struggle to fit the academic mold.

Teaching is a special calling. As educators, we can, and should, apply all of our knowledge and skills to positively affect students' lives for the rest of their lives. A good teacher, at every turn, continually endeavors to augment his/her pedagogy; yielding students knowledge, well-roundedness, a positive personal image, happiness, quality of life, and good citizenship. A good teacher's day never ends. Once a teacher, always a teacher.

...own progress by basic homework assignments and planned quizzes that I will announce at appropriate times. As long as we practice your class work together in a fun, interactive & patient manner, we shall see positive progress in academic report cards. Learning is a two-way bridge as well, open communication between student-tutor is obvious, but what prospective students must know about me is I love to learn new material. And so I will learn alongside...
