...tiny bits of overlooked or misunderstood information to produce those "aha!" moments. I am currently writing my own music theory method book for adult learners which I hope will empower interested students to take up music at any age. My non-academic hobbies include the outdoors (I'm an Eagle Scout, so backpacking, camping, and hiking figure prominently), running, languages (I'm conversationally fluent in French, planning to start Spanish soon), literature, mythology, and video games, especially Starcraft 2....

...Math, and History. I learned to speak French while living abroad my Junior year in High School. I learned Spanish when I worked at a bilingual school in Cuernavaca, Mexico and while living and working in Honduras. I have always been passionate about teaching and sharing my knowledge to others. I started tutoring my younger cousins when they wanted to learn French, and then ended up teaching my Aunts and Uncles when they saw what...

I chose to take a position with Varsity tutors because I have a passion to teach, and help students succeed. I am a proud graduate of the Paralegal Studies program at Spokane Community College. I have an A.A.S in Paralegal Studies and a certificate in Business and Professional Communications. My first tutoring experience was a work study assignment on campus. I primarily assisted students with English Language skills and reading comprehension.

I am a recent graduate of Pacific Lutheran University. The areas I excel most at are Reading and Writing. The way I feel that I can help students learn is by finding a study method they are comfortable with, making it work for them, and providing helpful encouragement.... I would review the information that the student has learned in class, in order to understand what they student knows, does not know, and how best to teach...

Emerson said that the secret of education is respecting the student. I have the greatest respect for that part of the human spirit that is curious and wants to learn. I find that if students feel they are listened to and heard, this allows them to feel encouraged. When they begin to understand that learning can be fun, the whole process becomes exciting and joyful. We are all curious and like to learn.

...greatest assets as a teacher are patience and praise. I have taught all levels of French to students as young as 10 and as old as 70. I am also certified to prepare students to take the College Board's AP French Language and Culture exam. My AP students have consistently earned 4s and 5s on this rigorous test. My favorite thing about teaching French is to meet a student with no knowledge of French and...

...the opportunity to teach French for 2 years while earning my Master's. I am very passionate about learning and teaching foreign languages, and I hope to share that with my students. In my experience students particularly enjoy (and benefit from) learning and exploring new cultures while learning the language itself. As the child of a teacher I am a strong believer in the importance of education and all of the opportunities it offers to students....

...and I gladly connect my students to any college admissions departments I am familiar with. Although my tutoring specialty is test prep -- SAT, ACT, PSAT, SHSAT, and GRE -- I particularly love tutoring writing, and creative writing is a hobby of mine.

Thanks to my previous teaching and tutoring experiences, I am aware of what makes a good learning environment, and I am committed to adapt to any of my students' needs. French is not always an easy language to study, but I plan to make it an easy language to love!

...questions to help students come to right answers on their own, and I show students how to ask their own questions as well. I believe in giving my students resources that help them continue learning after tutoring is finished and throughout their lives. In addition, using my knowledge of science, math, the arts, and the humanities, I make connections between different subjects to help my students see how what we're working on isn't so strange...

...from my students so that together we may work through any lingering confusion. While studying at NYU I worked at 2 public schools in New York City as a teacher's assistant, and last year I taught english to high school students in the south of France. I have spent several summers working as a camp counselor, where we focus on the personal and emotional growth of the campers. I spent this past fall volunteering with...

...up more than just a new literary world but also lets you tap into another set of human experiences, expression, emotion, history. I think the greatest reward in teaching French and language arts is helping a student connect with a text and gain access to someone else's experience, what someone else thought important enough to write down, and then how this connection can help reframe the reader's thinking - deepening, challenging, or shifting the ways...

...why it took me so long to realize I was born to be a teacher, particularly after the stellar example in Dr. King of what a teacher can mean in a child's life. Other people predicted a teaching career for me as early as high school, and I knew I wanted to work with young people, but I had to thrash around for years trying other disciplines before I could see the obvious. I was...

...and Conservatory, where I studied Jazz Trumpet and Environmental Studies. I tutor in a wide range of subjects, including math, French, English, environmental science, and standardized test prep. I have experience teaching academic subjects and music in both classroom and individual settings, and I have worked with middle school through college-aged students. As a teacher, I strive to be flexible and approachable, getting to know my students and constantly reassessing my approach based on the...

...in math, science and the humanities from both university and high school. In the future, I plan to attend law school or a Master’s program in public policy or international relations. I discovered I enjoy tutoring while helping my younger brother with his homework and tutoring my friends for the ACT. Empowering people with knowledge is extremely rewarding because they can apply it to succeed. I love learning about everything. There is so much out...

...and Physics, two of my favorite pre-med subjects. Tutoring has always been a passion of mine in that I can directly help my student succeed and achieve their academic, personal and professional goals. I always relate tutoring to my dream of becoming a physician, where we place ourselves in a position to help someone else with knowledge that we have acquired. As a tutor, you can always expect me to be happy, passionate and focused...

...identities in the 20th century. Prior to my time in the Georgetown German Department, I completed my Master's in Comparative Literature at the University of Chicago; and prior to that I completed my undergraduate degree in Comparative Literature and Cultural History at Marlboro College. I have consistently applied myself across fields and topics, and feel that I have found an intellectual and personal home in writing, composition, literature, cultural analysis, and education. I very much...

...a college prep high school in Illinois for 5 years. I left because we recently relocated to Texas for my husband's job and I am looking to work with students as a French tutor. I truly love the language, and pride myself in being able to explain even the seemingly most complicated grammar rules in a straightforward manner. I think learning a language should be fun, and would love to help you learn. I hope...
