...He was a professional musician, could play multiple instruments, loved to paint and draw, and even had a pretty good conspiracy theory regarding Jack the Ripper. He encouraged me to read the books that he kept beside his chair in the living room, always asking me questions, always pushing me to really think about things the way they are instead of the way we are told they should be. I believe that everyone has the...

...currently based in Brooklyn, NY. I first began tutoring during college, where I worked with students on reading and writing skills and Spanish language. With Varsity Tutors, I am available to tutor these subjects, including college application essay writing, essay editing, and study skills and organization, as well as French and music theory. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy listening to music, singing, translating, and learning new languages (I am currently working on learning German, which...

...our view of society. Furthermore the history of a culture is written in its language. Without a knowledge of geography there is no way to contextualize any of this. I want to become a tutor because I wish to spread my knowledge and passion of these subjects to other people. I would love the opportunity to show others why these topics, which people sometimes disregard or are bored by, are in fact fascinating, dramatic and...

...study effectively. For instance, Mathew who is a former student of mine did not like algebra at all. I showed him how easy it is with 3 effective rules to master in algebra. Read-Follow-Do. Now he is taking calculus and is doing well. My previous experience as a tutor and my daily life as a student has enabled me to develop not only specific skills to be the best tutor, but also to be patient...

...encourage my students to develop their questioning skills and take control of their learning. My proudest moments as a teacher are when a child goes home and independently researches or reads about a topic because a lesson has piqued their curiosity. In addition, school content should be both challenging and applicable to the students experience outside the classroom. Delpit argues for this dual aspect of learning that is both relevant and challenging in her work...

...aspects of my students lives may have on their ability to focus and learn. I have had no more rewarding experience than having a young student tell me how good he or she feels after having done very well on an exam thanks to our tutoring session. I have experience the same sense of pride when one of my adult learners get their certification after having gone through my preparation course, especially given that this...

...mine, and I was a student who actually thoroughly enjoyed taking the SAT, ACT, and PSAT reading/writing sections! I have a passion for helping others find enjoyment in standardized test taking (no matter what it takes!) and securing the best strategies for their success. Editing is another 'hobby' of mine, and I am always eager to work through a paper with someone. My goal in a learning environment is to facilitate a patient but still...

Growing up in France, and living in the U.S., I gained a global exposure to different cultures. I have tutored a variety of subjects for students. I love learning and I am excited to share my passion with you!

...in Spanish and French. My student teaching experience was at Kings Park High School, where I taught Spanish to ninth and tenth graders. My tutoring style is to convey to students that a foreign language does not have to be overwhelming if it is broken down into simple parts. My teaching philosophy is that I believe everyone approaches learning differently and a tutor should understand the student's learning style. I try to pinpoint the root...

...been studying French for nine years and have just spent my last semester living in France, perfecting my language skills. While in France I took a Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certification course which involved private tutoring sessions with young French students (between the ages 8 and 17). I am very passionate about French as well as teaching, and I aspire to be a French professor after graduating. I am fully prepared to...

...I use and demonstrate each and every day. I work as a translator and have lived in Montral, Qubec. Qubec studies, culture, and language are my research areas as well as my favorite topic of discussion. As such, I can work with both the North American and European dialects of the French language, making me a rather well-rounded candidate to assist with your French education. I have been helping those around me with French for...

...my host family English. In my spare time, I love traveling, expanding my book collection, practicing yoga, and delving into community theater and choral groups. In my tutoring, I look to build my students' confidence through hard work, encouragement, and compassion. I believe that once students have confidence in themselves, they will be able to learn much more effectively and with greater enjoyment. I love learning, and I always try to spread that love to...

...a foreign language, and understand historical events. I also enjoy taking and tutoring standardized tests and believe that with the right preparation any student has significant control over their outcome on test day; this is partly a result of taking control over my own destiny when it came to the SAT, GRE, and most recently LSAT tests, on all of which I significantly improved on my own performance by following a disciplined regimen. I try...

I love traveling, dancing, and reading. But, what I am most passionate about, is learning.... Each one; teach one.... Introductions. Then, find out what the student knows and what the student needs help with.... By asking the student to explain how they get to their answers. That way, they get a chance to test if they really understand a concept.... By keeping the student engaged.... I would take the time to figure out what exactly is...

...past experiences also granted me the opportunity to work with gifted learners and students with various learning capabilities and learning styles. Helping a student make connections in a language (whether it be a second language like French or connections in written English) is an extremely rewarding experience. Overall, a student's ultimate pride in his or her understanding a challenging concept is the most rewarding. In my spare time, I enjoy reading novels, graphic novels and...

...my master's degree in Language Sciences and French Didactics. I am a native French speaker with nearly four years teaching experience within the language. I have worked with students of all ages. My philosophy for teaching is to tailor my lesson to the needs of the students I tutor. Furthermore, I continue modifying my lesson as needed and building upon a student's progress. Outside of academia I enjoy reading and going to the gym.... My philosophy...

I am a passionate of knowledge and learn everyday from everyone. I am also very enthusiastic to share what I know with others. I believe the best way to learn is to share knowledge and exchange ideas. Tutoring requires patience and the beauty of it is to see the success of the students!

...students to find joy in the learning process. I also emphasize individualized study plans and goal-setting as important steps towards long-term academic success. Among the students I tutor, I have seen a vast improvement in grades and study habits as well as a heightened motivation to participate in class discussions, ask questions, and achieve academic goals. In addition to tutoring, I am a freelance production assistant and I hold a leadership role at NY2X, which...
