In addition to the double major, I also have a minor in Classics (Greek/Roman literature, culture, history and Latin). I genuinely love learning - learning for myself and helping others learn - and I am particularly passionate about subjects pertaining to reading, writing and Chinese. My teaching philosophy centers on building a solid foundation of comprehension because knowledge, just like good habits,...

Allie I have been a math tutor for the last four or five years. I love helping students to understand their full potential in school. I am patient and understanding, and I am happy to explain a concept as many times and in as many different ways as necessary for a student's understanding. I believe that all students have different learning styles, and they will be much more successful when they learn to utilize those styles.

Patrick ...the last three years. While I tutor a variety of subjects, I particularly enjoy teaching History, Writing, and Literature. History is especially fun to teach as there is often a perception that it's a boring or tedious subject. I really try to break out of that stereotype and make the subject more relevant and interesting for my students. Ultimately, I really like to take the time to get to know my students and work together...

Whatever the stage of the writing process, I can pass on lots of practical knowledge hard-won from years...

Amanda ...UT. I’ve taught English in Taipei, Taiwan, where I learned useful techniques to teach ESL to a fun kindergarten class as well as after-school groups of elementary and middle school students. Working with students whose native language is not English was a great challenge and pleasure. It was enriching to see students grow with the language and build tangible skills to communicate in English. I enjoy working with students of various ages and always seek...

The subjects that I am best fit to help others with include: pre-algebra, algebra 1 & 2, geometry, pre-calculus, and ACT...

Dominique ...grammar in school. For high school, I attended Phillips Exeter Academy. where I pursued my passions in acting, working with children, debate, writing and international affairs. I have continued these passions in college by volunteering with children in Indonesia, participating in my school's debate team, and doing 5 professional internships. As a tutor, I consider my greatest strengths to be in English, History and French due to my academic background. I did, however, receive extensive...

Benjamin ...something you’re either born with, or without. Those with this mindset tend to attribute their mistakes and shortcomings to an innate lack of ability. As one might imagine, adopting this compromising attributional style leads to the avoidance of situations where failure is anything more than a remote possibility. And, over the long term, a persistence in this view leads to mounting dissatisfaction, because most things that are worth doing contain the distinct chance of failure....

Gabriel ...to see my plays performed in small theatres around the country. I was also politically active: I taught a weekly civics class to middle school students, ran a successful campaign for state representative, and volunteered for other statewide races. Currently, I lead post-production on a documentary web series, and I look forward to a life creating socially conscious films and plays. Few challenges animate me more than teaching Literature, Writing, History, and how to prepare...
