...Language and literature, Philosophy, and History. In high school I take a variety of AP and honors level courses with strengths in history, writing, and literary analysis. I am also strong in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus I. My approach to tutoring is to pinpoint where a student is struggling conceptually and helping to impart to them a method of thinking about subjects so that they are equipped to study and succeed on their own.

...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 of any learning difficulties so we can work together to overcome those difficulties and achieve success. I have always had an interest in learning foreign languages. I have traveled throughout Europe...

...language skills and plan to pursue an advanced degree in Europe some time in the near future. My tutoring experience ranges from ESL to standardized tests. I've worked as an assistant debate coach and paper grader, too.

I tutor middle and high school students, and I also have some teaching experience with elementary school grades. I believe a solid understanding of grammar, syntax and spelling is important when learning any language; but at the same time, I always complement the theoretical part with practical examples, using various kinds of media, including books, articles, videos, and experiences from my own life. Serious fun!

I am starting law school this fall in the hopes of one day addressing those concerns as an attorney.

My strengths lie in German, English, Theatre and Video Production. Being a tutor is so exciting for me. I have been working with people younger than me for a while and it has always been a rewarding and learning process for me and them.

...math and English as well. I like to work with students who are engaged and like to create their own path of learning, whatever their level is to begin with. I often adapt my curriculum to help them develop their interests and style of learning. When not engaged with my studies and writing, I like to dance, attend theatres (which is rather difficult these days), go for walks in different neighborhoods, and try different chocolates.

...Spanish. Once I moved to the USA, I won a scholarship from my German class in my senior year of high school. During college, I started tutoring students in German and Spanish as well, especially in grammar. At this point in time I realized I could help students in both of these languages. In addition I have taken Spanish grammar courses at Montclair State University, thanks to which I have been able to help my...

...passionate about teaching language because I believe it to be a highly valuable skill outside the world of academia. It is because of this that I would love to be able to share my knowledge with others and help them achieve their goals. I believe every student is different and that I have to adjust my approach on a per-student basis. All students learn in different ways, be it visually, analytically or in a number...

...reminders Madrid holds of Spain's traumatic history over the last century were evident, in landmarks such as 'El Palacio Real' and 'El Palacio de Las Cortes'.

A work of art that resonated with me was 'El tres de mayo de 1808 en...

...with walking through the desks, observing, questioning, and facilitating conversation. In my weekly office hours, I sat one-on-one with students, encouraging them to come with questions or just a thirst for conversation: in the lobby of the school library (my "office"), I sat for hours with my students, discussing everything from the subjunctive to our favorite kinds of wurst. My approach to tutoring is much the same: my sessions are personally tailored to each individual...
