...with the natural world which led me to study science - the kid in me is what helps me connect with children. I place an emphasis on giving each child the tools they need to figure things out for themselves, especially for math and hard sciences such as chemistry. When students learn the correct way to approach problems, they learn not only their subject, but they learn "how to learn". Learning technical subjects need not...

...art history and French culture). Simply put, I enjoy exploring languagelearning the nuances of vocabulary, grammar, and phonetics. And, as I often tell myself, learning a language isn't hard: children across the world do it. (I have to remind myself of this, as I'm learning Japanese!) I tutor pupils in both French and German. Previously, I taught an introductory German course to adult students at a local language school. I also developed a curriculum for...

...to middle school students at a home-school tutorial. I have always been a bit of a language nerd, so I gain special satisfaction from crafting a robust argument or sticking the correct ending on a German adjective. Writing and German grammar are my favorite subjects to tutor. My ability to tailor my instruction to my students' individual needs and learning preferences is my greatest strength as an instructor. Whether a student needs visual aids, kinesthetic...

...I strive to impart that passion to my students. I do not train my students to recite facts and figures. Rather, I encourage them to become self-motivated learners by creating a positive experience that is tailored to each individual.

My goal as a tutor is to prepare students for academic evaluations while also setting them up...

Hello, my name is Eileen! I am studying Secondary English Education at Towson University. My passions include reading, writing, playing with dogs, and coffee. Education is the great equalizer and that is why I've devoted my work and study to it.... "The important thing is not to stop questioning; curiosity has its own reason for existing."- Albert Einstein. I believe that the foundation of education is curiosity. It is important when teaching any subject to value questioning in your students. In the Age of Information, it is often so easy to confuse the ideas of others with our own opinions. We adopt the ideas of others and often lose the ability to create ideas for ourselves. So much has been discovered, but when a person opens up their mind and starts to question, they are gifted with so much more. Curiosity is built on perspective. It is unbiased factual knowledge that starts as a clean canvas for students to create their own ideas. The canvas soon fills with perspective built on discussion with other students, questions asked like how and why, and the essential objective of diversity. As a teacher, I will try to harbor the extensive perspective that comes with diverse students. Racial diversity, socioeconomic diversity, diversity in the ability of students to learn, and geographical diversity (the diversity of where the students' homes are) are all essential to creating an atmosphere where students can apply what they learn. Through conversation and group discussion in the classroom, students will be able to better understand how the literature being read applies to people of all backgrounds. This creates students who are quick to question what they have been told and to open up their minds outside of their studies and take in the perspective that the world has to offer them. It is essential that the teacher acts as a mentor. There should be mutual respect between the teacher and students. A teacher must be open minded and instigate questioning. They should direct the conversation and spark creativity in the thoughts of their students. Teachers are not there to dictate the opinions of a student. They are there to offer the information, so that the student may question and determine how they feel about it. Students should not feel unsafe in the classroom. They should not feel discriminated against based on their opinions and backgrounds. Most importantly, a student should leave a classroom feeling confident that the information they take in can be applied inside and outside of the classroom.

A battle-tested veteran of the New York private school circuit, I graduated college in 2013 and now teach German in DC. I lived in German-speaking Europe for many years, and I majored its language, culture and history. I fully understand the many competing demands on a modern student's schedule. My tutees and I therefore tailor-make lesson plans based on their personal strengths and areas for improvement in order to fully capitalize on our time together.
