I am a graduate of Boston University having received a BA in Linguistics and Classics with a minor in Archaeology. I started tutoring during high school, helping people that were struggling to pass tests required to graduate from high school in Indiana. From this I learned the feeling of satisfaction that comes from helping people learn and achieve things they might not have been able to otherwise.My academic content fields I tutor focus on history and grammar. I am a firm believer that the stories of humanity's past give us a better understanding of the modern world, and I hope to be able share share as many of these exciting stories as I can. I am also deeply involved in test prep tutoring. I have taken and tutored both the ACT and the SAT. I enjoy tutoring these tests because I get the opportunity to see students learn about the ways that they learn and take tests. Furthermore, it's very rewarding to see students get excited about their tangible score gains that come as a result of hard work. I aim to adapt my approaches to each student, but this always includes assessing strengths and weakness, teaching and reteaching content, creating a strong sense of test format and timing familiarity, and sharing tips, strategies, and short cuts. By combining these efforts with hard work, each of my students can walk into their tests with confidence that has been earned as a result of preparedness.In my spare time I enjoy reading, watching baseball, and playing video games (especially games which have a historical setting as these are what triggered love of history).

Learning and intellectual growth in students has its fundamentals, as does soccer. Students build from basic comfort to a feeling of being invited, then to a knowledge that they are inspired, as well as an increasing confidence in their own voice as it is elicited in various ways. Subtly they sense the growing realization that they are part of a larger whole???of the human story, of life.I believe in a balance of progressive and traditional teaching. Tutoring one-on-one is the best of teaching. I like to present any given material in two ways, such as aurally and visually, so that various learners can access the depth of the content. An example might be to have them select quotations from Civil Disobedience, put them in their own words, write whether they agree with them or not and create a visual of a selected passage from Walden. Or in addition to an aural discussion of a Scene in Hamlet I will write a web on the board to map both concepts and characters.I believe in growth through learning. I believe it is life in a full sense.

I am an actor, artist, and teacher, with my Bachelor’s degree from Boston College, and my Master's of Fine Arts from Brown University. At Boston College, my two majors were in Theatre Arts and Theology, and at Brown, I was a part of a three year conservatory in Acting and Theatre Arts.Over the past few years I have tutored students of all ages, from the middle school level all the way to college undergraduates and even middle-aged professionals. With every student, however, I start with one simple premise: how can we be ourselves as we seek to improve in our subjects? Perhaps my favorite subjects to teach are critical writing and essay coaching, and it is crucial in these areas that we stay true to ourselves, stand behind our opinions, and use language as a powerful and persuasive tool. My job as a tutor is not to tell my students what to think, but to give them the rhetorical tools to express their opinions clearly and concisely. The same premise applies to my reading comprehension and literature tutoring. I want my students to get closer to the writer, to see how they are similar, to understand more about themselves as they work to understand the material. Of course, students should enjoy themselves in all of their academic endeavors, and I like to have fun in my tutoring sessions. As an actor I usually play the role of the fool, so when I’m teaching I like to keep the energy light and fast, while still maintaining a rigorous learning environment.When I’m not teaching or acting I like to spend as much time as possible outdoors biking, hiking, fishing, swimming - you name it, I love being outside. I also really enjoy traveling and adventuring. I've been all over the world. I've lived in Scotland, London, and Sweden, and I've visited Italy, Turkey, Switzerland, Ireland, and Canada. My spirit for adventure also makes me a great geography tutor, and I like to ignite that passion for learning and travel in my students.

I am a graduate of two institutions. The first is Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University where I received a Bachelors of Science in Broadcast Journalism. The second institution I attended was Full Sail University where I received a Masters of Science in Entertainment Business. Also, I obtained a graduate certificate in mediation and conflict resolution from the University of Phoenix. Currently, I attend Trinity Washington University where I am getting a Masters of Education in Curriculum and Instruction with a concentration in Educating for Change. I began tutoring in 2008 as a volunteer at a community center in Tallahassee, Fla. Then, I was hired by a company in Leon County, Fla., where I was a tutor from 2009-2011. I also have experience as an educator. I taught Spanish at a summer camp in 2010 to students ages 5-14. Plus, I have teaching experience in Alexandria, VA and Washington, D.C. The subjects I tutor in are writing, social sciences, Spanish, and organizational skills. My favorite subject to tutor in is writing. I am an avid writer, and my writing skills are a strength in my life. I believe every student can learn and that every student learns differently. My tutoring style is interactive and rooted in differentiation. I will work to actively engage my students in their learning, so it is beneficial for them. Outside of tutoring, I am a foodie. I enjoy trying new cuisines and cooking. Also, I enjoy sightseeing in Washington, D.C. Education is important to me. I will work my hardest to ensure your child's success academically.

I believe that learning should be a fun and interactive experience. Having a vast array of experience in different educational platforms myself, one factor remains the same; students want to enjoy learning. In order for that process to take place, I like to be creative in the lesson and promote higher-order thinking. Rote memorization is not the key to overall content comprehension but rather the ability to understand the topic in a meaningful way in order to apply it in a real world platform' that is the success that I seek from the student- teacher mentorship.A little about me:In my free time I enjoy reading philosophy and writing my own political dissertations about currentpolitics. I am currently attempting my hand at screenplay writing and often play tennis. I like to be outdoors where I can enjoy the great parks and fresh springs around Orlando, FL.

I am a graduate of George Mason University I received my Bachelor of Arts in Geography with a minor in GIS. Since graduating high school, I have tutored/taught students ranging from six years old to those in college. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Geography, Math, and History. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests in Virginia. I am a firm proponent of increasing one's education, believing it to be necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to any students I teach/tutor. I have competed in the National History Day Competition twice in my career, making the state finals twice. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, traveling, running, and watching of ice hockey.

I graduated from Penn State with my bachelor's degree in history and economics and from Texas Christian University with my master's in history. I specialize in writing, history, and test prep. I focus on making sure each one of my students reach their full potential.

I believe that everyone can learn and it should be a rewarding and enjoyable pursuit. Learning is a matter of translating interests into motivation, and through this understanding. I grew up as an Army brat, which afforded me the opportunity to live in many places growing up, including Germany, Texas, Colorado, New York, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. I attended Carleton College, in Northfield, MN, where I graduated with a dual BA in Economics and Political Science. Carleton offered a strong program in liberal arts and I was exposed to subjects in all major academic fields. I further increased my knowledge by taking science courses at the University of Wisconsin in Oshkosh. I also studied economics at Cambridge University. Before moving to Arizona, I worked as a consult with Global Collect in San Francisco, where I gained experience in global economics and international payments, and have worked in multiple financial tech startups.I recently received my MA from the University of Arizona in Government and Public Policy. During my studies at Arizona, I presented lectures at several international conferences in political science and international relations. While attending graduate school at the University of Arizona, I worked as a teacher's assistant and was responsible for providing individual feedback to over 100 students. I found it rewarding to work with my students so they could achieve their maximum potential. Presently, I am working on some coding projects, primarily in the Ruby-on-Rails environment, a language that I am currently brushing up on.I believe in a collaborative approach to learning, working with students to inspire in them a genuine thirst for knowledge. While I particularly enjoy tutoring in government and public policy, I also enjoy subjects as diverse as chemistry, biology, mathematics, economics, literature, and geology.In my off time, I enjoy downhill skiing, cooking, hiking, reading, and games. I especially enjoy games that stimulate your knowledge and test your strategic skills, such as Settlers of Cataan and strategy games in general both in the videogame and board game variety. And, of course, having lived in Wisconsin near Green Bay, about thirty minutes from Lambeau, I am, of course, a Packers fan.

Learning expands one's understanding of the world around us. It isn't something that is ever finished in life, although there are brief reprieves from tests and homework until finally graduation. School isn't the sole medium by which to inquire about and learn more of the world, but it's the best system we've got. Yet even still, it isn't perfect. People learn in different ways, and sitting in a classroom isn't always going to allow for optimal learning conditions. That's where I come in. By tutoring, myself and others are able to directly work with individuals until comprehension, understanding, and eureka moments abound.I am personally most interested in languages, math, history, literature, music, all forms of art, scientific investigation of the universe, and games which allow for a creative and competitive outlet. Let's learn something together!

I am a current Senior at Macalester College majoring in Economics with a minor in Geography. I started tutoring in high school through the honors society. Since I've moved to the Twin Cities I have tutored many students in helping them to achieve state standards. I also enjoy tutoring for standardized tests, specifically the ACTs. I think that having a great tutor can make such a difference in someone's life. Education is so important and having a tutor there to assist you in all your learning goals can make such a difference for a scholar. Outside of tutoring, I love to play soccer, run, play cricket, cook and learn about urban history. I make our tutoring sessions personal and fun to make sure that the scholar is interested in learning and, more importantly, enjoying learning.
