...college recently with a degree in philosophy and hope to be on my way to graduate school within a year or two. In the meantime, I want to learn how to better my teaching ability through tutoring. I believe in self-betterment, so I can appreciate when someone takes their time to find a tutor. Whether you are struggling in a certain class or want to understand a subject better, I would love to help!... My philosophy on teaching is that it is important for the teacher to understand the student's perspective in order to make an impact on his/her learning. I as a teacher need to learn where my student is having trouble and strengthen them in that area. It is also important for the student to gain a concept of the subject as a whole, especially in writing where an entire work must cohere with itself. Teaching the student to understand concepts such as "good writing" and "flow" will help the student recognize his own errors and improve.
