Working in that setting taught me more about how to explain abstract concepts simply and creatively, and about how to use quizzes and evaluations to track student progress. During college, I helped my peers learn French both individually and in small groups; and most recently, I worked as an...

...English lessons I used to give to French speakers through my own tutoring business. I try to get all of my students involved in tutoring so learning isn't simply a chore or a requirement but something beneficial and dare I say, fun. Whether it be English, French, math or even ACT prep, I am positive that I can help you learn it all, even the subjects that pose the greatest difficulty to you.... Learning takes practice...

...may not necessarily like at first. I find that students who are interested in the content of material are able to pick up high level skills very quickly, and are motivated to think about learning in their free time.

My involvement with the varsity swim team has led to sessions with pre-K children learning how to swim. I spent this past Summer...

...a great way to begin to do that. I also have a real passion for the subjects I tutor, History, English, and French. The best part about tutoring is helping students to feel the same way about history and language as I do. The tutoring process is of great benefit to me as well, not just the student.

In the past I have tutored elementary school students in English and Math, middle school students in English as a second language, and helped peers in an informal context.

While I tutor many different subjects, I am particularly excited about working with students on...
