...ACT. I have also tutored students from ages 5-17. My teaching philosophy entails a lot of practice and self-discovery. From my own experiences with challenging subjects, I know that going the extra mile by doing more practice problems than are actually assigned or watching videos on certain concepts helps reinforcement and allows students to thrive in the classroom. As a tutor, I like to guide students in the correct direction and help them gain footing...

...out ways to teach complicated subjects in pieces, making them more simple. I have been trained as a historian of the Italian Renaissance, and concentrate on the Republic of Venice, which some popular accounts claim lasted for a thousand years, from 797 to 1797. I think old-fashioned political and diplomatic history is the cat's meow! I disagree profoundly with the view that it is not relevant to the study of history today. I also like...

I am a student and a researcher with a lifelong passion for teaching!

...same. To me, History is the story of the past, the people and places that made it what it was, not the rote memorization of facts, dates, names, and outcomes. Using those stories, I help students learn to make connections between past events, people, and places as well as seeing how those events, people, and places impact today's world. Story, therefore, is the great vehicle which guides all I do. History is a story. Life...

...I think that my tutoring style is more hands on and going through the problem with the student. I will show them the way of answering the question then I let them do a different problem on their own and just guide them through it. Outside of tutoring I love to draw and take pictures.

...hated by showing them their own innate ability to understand these subjects. I believe strongly that if a student can be shown why something is the case, he or she will be more successful at, and interested in, the subject as a whole. Helping students become "learning detectives," who get to the bottom of each topic they are learning, is one of my biggest passions. In my spare time, I love to pull out my...

...the actual exams, improve as we work together. My favorite part about tutoring overall is working with students and getting to see their excitement when they realize they've figured out how to do something they previously didn't think they could. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy going to the gym and reading. I've played soccer since I was 4 years old, and I really enjoyed playing on an intramural soccer team during my freshman year. During...
