I am a licensed attorney in Illinois who primarily represents children in guardianship disputes as the Guardian ad Litem as well as low-income clients in a myriad of housing and family law related cases.

...Colombia. While I tutor a number of subjects, I particularly enjoy helping students with standardized test strategy and following their scores as they increase towards their goal. When I tutor, I aim to lead students to an answer by example so that they can see the reasoning involved themselves, rather than me just telling them...

...their side as they learn, and aim to empower them in their educational journey. Especially with test preparation, I stress practice problems to solidify concepts as well as test-taking strategies.

...and life experiences. I view education as a skill; education is not around to help us learn specific things, but rather education teaches us how to learn.

...through an AmeriCorps program named City Year: New York. During my time as an undergraduate at Sarah Lawrence, I offered one-on-one 'pro bono' tutoring services to high school students in my neighborhood. At present, I am the instructor of record for 40 undergraduate students at GSU who range from age 19 to age 38.... I emphasize practicing the skill we are working on. I model my tutoring after the way a music teacher would teach a lesson, and a coach would work with an athlete. So, unless you request it, I won't ask you to do additional work outside of our tutoring sessions. We can work on the assignments you already have in front of you, and/or the practice problems available in study guides. I find that it is also helpful to help set a goal after meeting once or twice--say, a grade on an assignment that you'd like to earn, or a score on a standardized test that you'd like to get-- and then help you reach that goal.

...I am not being a tutor, I am a musician. In addition to singing, I play the violin and viola and dabble in everything from Bach to bluegrass to covers of pop songs. As an opera singer, I have studied Spanish, Italian, French and German and am accordingly fascinated by the etymology of words in...

...my students will develop a working vocabulary and the writing skills to demonstrate the extent of their knowledge. Effective expression translates to professional success and emotional maturity no matter the paths their lives take, so it is one of my biggest priorities. Another must in my tutoring approach is customizing curriculum. Students should feel entitled...

I am a multi-level, multi-subject educator offering 8+ years experience in instruction; consistent performance record and excellent reviews; and innovative instructional methods to maximize student understanding and performance across various learning styles, abilities, and interests. It is my pleasure to educate through Varsity Tutors.... My philosophy in education is that all students are smart. It is my job as an educator to meet each student where they are and to guide them in the achievement of their educational goals. Learning should be personalized and fun.

...in their community. My time as a youth soccer coach and tutor of my little brother and his friends has further bolstered my love of teaching. Given my extensive experience and longtime passion for math and applied math subjects, I feel I can best help students seeking help in these areas, though I have experience...
