...language with others. Regarding essay writing, I enjoy raising questions about texts, analyzing themes, and assessing authors' decisions whether that be sentence structure, character development, or plot twists.

I am most eager to help students on this platform because I desire to work with students one-on-one and serve as a catalyst...

...instruction of other humanities as well, including english literature and various social studies subjects. I particularly enjoy teaching essay writing, as I have practical experience in the field, (employment at multiple newspapers), and love watching students develop into competent, articulate writers.

And prior to my experience teaching in China, I worked as a private...

I also like to read literature and history as well.

I tutor because there is so much to learn in the world, and learning should not be done alone.

There is so much to learn in the world, and learning should not be done alone!... I would gauge their grasp of the subject and...

...of the High School Classroom, I can tutor for college essay writing, public speaking, reading, and general writing skills. The subjects that I am most passionate about tutoring are history, economics, and geography.

...student is unique and special in their own way, and thus tutoring should be individualized to address the specific needs and interests of each particular student.

...in academic settings and test-taking. Much of this success derives from long-hours devoted to assignments and preparation, but no small part owes to the way my mind learns. My mind is suited to books and the classroom, and this is a convenience for which I am very fortunate. I recognize, however, that every mind learns in its own way---a reality that institutional education cannot accommodate. I make it my priority to determine what methods of...

...Liberal Arts. I thoroughly enjoy teaching and helping individuals attain their academic goals, while simultaneously aiding in procuring a better understanding of knowledge and human culture. I tutor a range of subjects but my expertise lies in history, politics, writing, english, and language. In my spare time I love listening/playing music, spending time with my 3 year old Boston Terrier "Mikey", practicing Qi-Gong/meditating, playing a pickup game of soccer, and eating delicious food.

...goal is not simply to help a student perform for a test or even whole course. That's only goal one. I aim for a tutoring environment which generates discussion, and proposes solutions, in which students think critically about the content at hand, ask their own questions, and exercise ways to find their own answers. Learning in this manner allows students to better face future challenges, and think critically about topics in and out of academia....

...helpful a compelling guide and mentor can be during the often stressful process of testing and preparation for it. In addition to performing well on the exams themselves, I believe it is just as important for students to learn how to think calmly and confidently about these tests, so that they can help to serve students' broader educational goals. In addition to tutoring students - and being one myself - I enjoy keeping fit by...
