...and determination. Understanding success as the final product, therefore, is an absurdity. Let us consider a hypothetical: One of my students takes what she learns from her tutoring sessions over macroeconomics and lands a six figure job as a Market Research Analyst for Corporation X. She praises herself for the tremendous success and accepts the position. Over the next few months, she slacks off and the CEO fires her. This will happen to anyone who...

Hi, I'm Leah! I am a teacher with five years of teaching experience in the lower elementary grades. I am passionate about teaching students and helping them to meet their learning goals.

I believe each student is unique, similar to a crayon in a full box...

We all learn differently. As Albert Einstein said, "Study is not the learning of facts but the training of the mind to think."

We all learn differently and at our own pace. Also, we often know more than we think we do. We just...

Roman Catholicism is important to me, and I try to balance doctrine with ethics in the daily practice of my faith. My favorite subject to tutor is English.

...has been varied, my work regarding adults centers around professional and career development, having facilitated a number of group and one-one-one trainings on developing eye-catching resumes and cover letters along with identifying and cultivating marketable skills to stay competitive in the workplace.

...My favorite subject to tutor is technology because there are always new things being introduced and I get to learn along with the students. I tutor Math, Business, Writing, Reading, Computer classes, Microsoft Office and Adult literacy. My tutoring philosophy is that education should be fun. Students should not have to stress out over learning new materials or skills. I work with students to help them learn new materials by using the skills and education they...

...with my MA in Latin from the University of Michigan, I found myself in unfamiliar territory. I had been a student my entire life, and suddenly, I was not. My eventual goal was (and still is) to earn a teaching certificate, but that is still a ways off. What else could I do? An idea hit me. Just because I am not a student anymore, however, does not mean I can't still dedicate myself to...

...right help. As a past tutor with an After School Program, I know what it takes to motivate and encourage students of any age. I am a very patient and kind teacher, but I also enjoy a few quips to keep things light throughout the learning process. I think a sense of humor is sometimes necessary in order to get through complicated lessons! I connect well with kids, teens, and adults, and would love to...

...to learn about the mistakes and triumphs of the past in order to understand how our actions today can have a positive or negative impact in the future. And I truly believe that effective communication is key in every aspect of life, from getting to know other people, to being able to evaluate situations intelligently, and spreading worthwhile ideas, both verbally and in written form. Even though I find learning a lot of fun, I...

...I get really excited about learning/re-discovering things and subsequently about teaching those things to my students. I believe that education is the best way to expand not only your mind, but to improve your situation and quality of life. When I'm not teaching, I love to read, make jewelry, travel, watch Doctor Who and play with my cat, Oedipus. I am also just starting to train for 5Ks, but I am not the biggest fan...

...for over three years for individual classes as well as standardized test preparation. I am able to tutor a wide variety of subjects; however, my passion lies in languages and history. In my experience tutoring non-English speakers, I have learned how to solidify short-term knowledge to the long term and apply this not only to languages, but many other subjects, as well. I am a strong believer in the value and necessity of education, which...

...I know that it takes more than one way to teach a person to know whether or not they understand what was told. I think this is an essential part of learning and actually understand what is taught and how to use it rather than just what was given to learn for a test.
