We all learn differently, but in the end we all still learn the same things.

...my Bachelor's Degree in biology in 2011 from the University of Nevada, Reno. As an undergraduate, I worked as a peer tutor for three years in science, math, and English.

...person who can find something interesting in everything. This is why I am a teacher and a tutor! Even the process of teaching and learning interests me to no end.

Writing and reading are my main vocations and past times, though I have had about every kind of job you can think of! My real...

...and the social sciences. After teaching in Nicaragua, I moved to Syria where I taught ESL classes to Syrians at the American Language Center in Damascus. As seems pretty evident, I love to travel and have lived in different countries teaching and learning too. I currently hold two master's in History and Latin American studies. In both master's programs I worked with college-aged students on their critical thinking, textual analysis, and writing skills. Crafting well-argued...

...or college level. That's not to say that I don't work well with younger students but that I would prefer to teach higher level courses in whatever subject matter I choose. Though I feel confident in all of the subjects that I selected to tutor in, in a classroom setting I would prefer to teach mathematics or computer science. I am 20 years old and I study at the University of Arizona while also taking...

...writing is intrinsic to understanding ourselves, and the many-worlds we are alive in. I am increasingly interested in compositional practices. I've experimented with how film and sound act as a processing event for elucidating feelings / textures / topographies language cannot. this inter-work (play) helps illuminate aesthetic and conceptual obstacles I can share with my students as they are learning their relationship to writing. In the classroom I emphasis the importance of process, revision, and...

Life long learning is a hoot! Even with what I have accomplished, I'm not through yet. Curiosity has me constantly looking for things I don't know and mastering them. With 50 years in the classroom - yes this is an old picture - I'm still sticking nose into new things and pushing to learn all I can. If you can express your needs, we will find them together.

I love helping students achieve their goals and dreams.

...read and loves to teach even more. I believe everyone has the capacity to be an excellent student, and the only person who can determine what that means is the student themselves. I spend most of my time doing something involved with school, whether that be homework or reading for my own benefit. But when I do get a chance to breathe, food and traveling are some of my favorite things to discuss.

I see students learn a lot when we work on writing and study skills as well as the reading comprehension and analytical reasoning portions of the LSAT.

...to visualize what people are saying while they are saying it, which has helped a lot, but often I need to write things down, or perform some physical motion. So when tutoring, I switch up visual/auditory/kinesthetic approaches, and also try to ground things to reality: why learn something in the first place? For me I generally need to connect new information to old information; find a point of solid understanding and trace a path from...

In order to become a great teacher, you must first learn to listen to your students. ... Everyone learns differently; the trick is to find out how.... Get to know them: what do they do, how do they like to have fun, do they prefer pictures and stories to learn or flashcards and practice testing?... Help them figure out how they learn best. If you are aware of what you need to do, then your studying...

...I feel my experience with children with special needs in a resource room setting has given me the opportunity to assess where a student's needs/challenges are.

Each person accumulates a different set of skills and specialities during their life. Rather than being afraid to look stupid, it is important to be eager to learn from others. I love spreading my knowledge in a casual environment, and using that to help others achieve their fullest potential!
