...it. Over the years still other words were invented. Knowing that I had a "disability" called "Attention Deficit Disorder" was actually helpful; I had a "condition" and if I understood its nature, I could create "accommodations". I had finally figured this out on my own without the big words. I love to learn. I love to read. I love to take classes. I love knowing stuff. And I'm a great teacher. Now we are getting...

...for students who speak Mandarin and Spanish as their first language. I would describe my teaching philosophy as flexible and patient. I understand that each learner has a certain propensity to learn how they feel most comfortable; some are visual learners while others need to do hands-on activities.

I pride myself on figuring out the unique style of learning...

...at Sunday school. I spent every summer working at summer camps, where I helped teach science and art history. In college, I tutored French and American Politics. I believe that teaching material to others is the best way to learn. So, for me, tutoring has always been intrinsically entwined with my own studies and thirst for knowledge. As a tutor, I try to pass on my philosophy of study and passion for knowledge to my...

...at Stuyvesant High School, the leading public high school in the state of New York. While I tutor a number of subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring Writing and U.S. History. I believe Writing and History are both examples of secret storytelling in the midst of every day experiences. I find it incredibly exciting to aid my students in finding the fun! My teaching philosophy is all about making learning fun, and increasing equity....

School can be hard with all the social and educational demands. I'm not interested in making it any harder for you. I prefer to be a sounding board for any questions you have or help you need. I strongly believe in a no-judgment zone, so if you choose to work with me the focus will be on a low-pressure environment that's geared towards learning and fun.

...educator who has worked with children for the past seven years. I have a connection to children and learning. I am well versed in all Language Arts and Math. I mainly work with students in Elementary school. I love seeing the lightbulb come on for students when they start to understand something. I like to make a personal connection with kids and see them as individuals. I meet students where they are and we go...

...because they intuitively understand as I do that learning should be fun and that few great things are accomplished without a laugh or two along the way; ultimately, however, it is about learning and personal growth, and nothing I have ever done professionally comes close to the satisfaction I feel when a student describes a goal, works toward that goal, and then achieves it. I believe passionately in the power of learning to bring understanding,...

In a first session, I like to get right into what...

...at Willamette University College of Law, as well as Willamette's Atkinson Graduate School of Management. I have always loved helping my teammates and classmates learn and understand any issue we happen upon, from French conjugation to the economic shortfalls of the former Soviet Union.

...their expectations, and to imagine and create new expressions. I like teaching English, History, Philosophy, Comparative Religion, and Theatre. I believe that the division between the humanities and the sciences is arbitrary: learning depends on observation, attention to detail, and a feel for beauty and truth. I have guided many students, both gifted and remedial, as a teacher and tutor. In addition to loving the outdoors, I also teach Tai Chi and meditation, enjoy gardening,...

...at the prospect of working with students to help them achieve their goals academically, as well as promote the necessary skills and character traits that will serve students professionally as they ponder their future navigating a complicated, contemporary marketplace.

...being able to teach kids the things I love has been so much more fulfilling than sitting in an office at a museum would have been. Since then I've taught 6th and 8th grade History, High School Art, and I've tutored SAT English for the past three years. In my free time I enjoy reading (I'm a big nerd when it comes to reading historical fiction, or even non-fiction), playing board games, and watching anime....

...fiction and poetry, and traveled to over thirty countries on five continents, so I have a lot of life experience that I bring with me to tutoring. My exposure to the SAT began when I got the highest SAT score in my school district when I was a junior (without tutoring, even!). I started tutoring the Verbal side of the SAT in Los Angeles in 1999. Then I branched out into the SAT Math and...

...material back when it made no sense. They should further be able to remember how they came to understand it, and be able to communicate this to the student. If the student still does not understand, a great teacher will find a way to communicate it in a way that the student will. I became a language teacher, not because I have any prodigious talent for learning foreign languages, but because of the satisfaction that...

I believe that learning is the most important aspect of having the ability to teach. I believe in foundation and follow through. I believe in people, and as we work together, hand-in- hand, we can achieve this.

...high school Spanish 1-4. I studied Spanish in high school and college and also spent a year in Madrid where I taught English as a foreign language, (both in secondary and business settings). I have over 10 years of education related experience. Much of it has been centered around language and literacy, whether it is Spanish, ESL, helping secondary students write research papers and access academic content and vocabulary, or doing direct instruction and remedial...
