...started teaching music to children. I believe in extra-curriculars and the arts. Whether it's sports, music, art, or theater, I believe those things are what make life worth living. For me, I play the French Horn and snowboard. My motto is ???Sometimes you need to go the extra mile. Do the extra credit. Be more than your peers expect you to be. Set the bar high and don???t be afraid to fail. Failure leads to success.???...

I graduated from UMSL with a BA in history and a minor in German. I'm strongly interested in most kinds of history and language, and am always ready to help students in subjects from European history to German to going over essays. I believe that language and history are topics that anyone can understand if they are just taught in the right way.... I believe in helping students help themselves. I assist them enough that they...

...While at school, I worked as a TA for both general and Organic Chemistry and I have taken courses in a vast majority of chemical fields including Organic, Inorganic, Analytical, Physical Chemistry, Biochemistry and even Nanochemistry. I also took four years of high school German and four years of college German courses, and I enjoy finding new opportunities to practice my language skills. In addition to academics, I was a Division III football and baseball...

I entered the teaching field for two reasons: I enjoy math a lot, and, more importantly, I love helping students. Growing up, my teachers had a very large impact on my academics, as well as my life outside of school. My aim is to inspire my students in a similar way, so that they can be excited about being life-long learners who seize every opportunity that comes their way.

...After finishing the required grammar classes and literature classes at Saint Louis University, I found myself reading difficult works of art by authors like Jorge Luis Borges, Miguel Cervantes, and contemporary authors such as Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Challenging as it was, the rewarding feeling after taking these courses made me aware of my passion to help student with similar struggles. I enjoy transferring that passion to overcome difficult subjects and to get students excited about...

...twice co-taught an intensive one-month long German 101 course, where I designed the lesson plans, and graded homework, quizzes and tests. I am a great tutor because of my broad experience in tutoring many different subjects, so that I have a wide variety of approaches to help all types of students master the material. I also believe that, in my German tutoring especially, I'm very systematic, so that my students have a strong grammar foundation...

...try to approach them on their own before giving them guidance so that they can develop confidence in their own ability to approach similar challenges independently. I have many hobbies outside of my academic pursuits. I enjoy reading a variety of genres especially science fiction, fantasy, weird fiction, and all sorts of non-fiction. I sometimes try my hand at writing short stories or poetry. I also frequently play musical instruments and listen to music. I...

...subject at hand; it's about finding the ways in which you learn best and allowing yourself to have what you need, even if it isn't seen as average. Too often, our schools value data over students and forget that education is about discovery and personal growth. As a teacher and tutor, I strive to understand my students individually as whole, complex people. In doing so, I am able to better reach the person in front...

...am very thankful for my philosophical education because it has also sowed within me a deep commitment to teaching, teaching that aims not only for understanding, but also for creating and encouraging interest in specific topics and in learning itself. While I agree that the goal of teaching is to help someone learn a certain topic, the greatest achievement in teaching I have experienced is giving someone the ability to reason, and the drive and...

...levels of the German classes as sometimes a pull out and after school tutor. I am a very passionate person, and one of my major passions is school and I want to spread that passion around and get people as excited for school as they were when they were younger. The most rewarding thing to me is when someone is able to say "Oh! I get it," and understand something they didn't before.... I believe in...
