...the high school and collegiate level. Using a unique two-pronged approach to tutoring: In addition to helping students with their specific areas of difficulty, also strive to teach students the general thought processes required to excel in the particular subject.

In my free time I enjoy playing guitar, working on cars, and running....

I have had a lot of experience working in the classroom as a teacher's assistant, and mentoring students one on one as well.

...lie with STEM subjects (Algebra I,II and Physics I specifically!), this experience strengthened my equal passion for language and communication. My biggest takeaway from this experience is that teachers need to speak the student's language, not just literally, but arguably more importantly, their learning language.

I also tutor elementary English and math, and I love finding creative ways to make foundational skills stick.

Psychology is another favorite, as it allows me to connect my academic...

...an essay or dissecting a book really boils down to the art of storytelling -- and I think, no matter your age, we all can appreciate to the transformative power of stories. Not everyone finds their words easily, and some even feel ashamed to take time to express themselves. But I was a ballet dancer for ten years, and I think my rigor, determination, and sense of balance passes on to my students. I like...

...students need to understand larger concepts. I believe that assessments and testing answer some questions, but more importantly, they should also raise new ideas to individualize instruction for each student and their unique learning styles. I have worked over the years to develop effective professional development for teachers which has strengthened my own skills in tutoring students. I am passionate about education, love to learn from my students, and I continue to strive to make...

I can assist in a variety of tasks related to writing, including brainstorming ideas for a five-paragraph essay with third graders, editing personal statements for college applications, and reviewing university students' final papers. Overall, I like to show that the practice of writing is systematic and straightforward rather than daunting. Outside of the classroom, I play varsity tennis...

I enjoy seeing students thrive in and out of the classroom. I am a husband, dad, teacher, and singer. I have tutored students from 1st-6th grades. I have done group and individualized tutoring. Being able to connect with the student and see positive results, either through test scores or comprehension, has been rewarding for me.... I do believe the scholar needs to 'wrestle' with the concept. This builds academic stamina.
