I love helping people make connections they couldn't make before. In my spare time,...

...to struggle with math so when I see the aha moment in children when I teach them the math problem my way it is very rewarding. I like to think my tutoring style is that I use manipulatives in math or I go step by step in the problem and have the student copy me and ask questions as we go along that they don't understand. Things I like to do outside tutoring are as...

...with writing, I can help him or her understand writing rules by using analogies from algebra class--or vice versa!) Also, because I am state certified in both elementary and secondary education (and have extensive experience helping college students prepare for Accuplacer exams in both writing and algebra), I am very flexible and can work with learners in many age ranges. I did my undergraduate work at Houghton College and post-graduate studies at State University of...

...of them. I received my bachelor's degree from Emerson College and my master's from Clark University. Now, I'm finishing up a PhD at the University at Buffalo. Emerson called it "Writing, Literature, and Publishing"; Clark called it "Literature in English." To me, it's all of a piece - it's the craft of language. Most of my teaching and tutoring experience is with college students. I've taught introductory writing courses, fiction and poetry workshops, an introduction...

...the younger students at the dance studio I used to attend. These are just some of the ways that I've learned to tutor. My favorite things to tutor are writing and algebra.

My tutoring style is to talk and work through a...

My mission is to inspire life long learning as well as to give you the tools to discover your capacity for academic success and happiness. ...

Life is vastly interconnected; therefore, I would draw the line between the student's personal interests and the material at hand. If they can be wowed about how the...

...own classes. The connection we build in a tutoring relationship can completely reshape someones experience who is struggling with a subject or topic. Many of us interpret a string of frustrating papers, or bad grades on tests, as a divine sign that we are not cut out for academic work.

I have a BS degree in Secondary Social Studies Education from The State University of New York College at Buffalo, and a MS degree in Special Education, also from Buffalo State College. I am very successful when tutoring social studies subjects, but I also have experience teaching high school English Language Arts. Outside of teaching I enjoy spending time outdoors, and traveling. I love books, and read whenever possible.

I first started tutoring in high school, through Math, Chemistry, and Biology Honors Society. Through these activities, I realized that I'm passionate about tutoring and assisting others throughout their academic journeys. I'm quite interested in Science, English, and Psychology. Additionally, I'm very comfortable with tutoring for the ACT.

...trying to see the world the way he sees it, while letting him into mine. This ongoing experience has given me an appreciation for the dimension and variety that minds offer, and it has taught me that not everyone learns, or thinks, the same way. I hope to provide accommodation and empathy in everything I do, and learn just as much from my students as they do from me! My formal tutoring experience was with...

Unlike most schools, the admission process to Deep Springs involves writing - and later defending before a panel of staff, faculty and students - seven essays on a variety of subjects including literature, philosophy, and education. Once admitted to Deep Springs, students are typically required to read upwards of 100 pages per day...

I love learning and I truly believe that knowledge is power. I have been tutoring since I was in high school and I have 2 children who I work with nearly every day.

Everyone can learn, if they have the desire. My goal is to empower my students while understanding their learning styles, gaining a better idea of their perspective of the world, and to thereby teach them through their perspective for maximum success. Education is my passion. If my students aren't successful, how can I be?

...it to be, and as writers, we control everything. My favorite authors include George Orwell, Kate DiCamillo, Ray Bradbury, and Margaret Atwood, whose novels are inspiring because they pushed me to read more to understand power dynamics and the importance of seeking your destiny.
