...student gives feedback and we can work together to achieve their goals. I can relate to being overwhelmed when taking quizzes and tests so I also try to give test taking advice.

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a teacher. I believe that teaching is more than a job, more than a career; it is a calling.

The first session would begin with me getting to know my student. I want to know what they...

I have degrees in Psychology and Accounting from OU, and I have always had a passion for learning, and for maths in particular. I've been tutoring for almost 3 years now. I generally prefer using the Socratic method of instruction during sessions. The excitement of discovering HOW and WHY something works, the "Eureka!" moment when it clicks... I look forward to sharing that excitement with my students!

I believe that every student can succeed, and that the only thing that needs to be changed in order for that to happen is mindset.

...via Varsity Tutors for a year now and, while I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English Language and Literature, Spanish, US/World History and Government.

I enjoy classic literature and read for fun in...

...college. Since late high school I have had a regular teaching commitment, whether it was helping younger students prepare for standardized tests or TA'ing for college courses.

...I have just returned from a stay abroad in Beijing, China. There, I taught two independently designed courses to different sets of middle school students in Beijing, China. In the span of five weeks, I enjoyed a whirlwind introduction to the language (with daily class) and life in both heavily developed and poorer, migrant worker regions of the city. The educational norms and approaches are in many ways in sharp contrast to American tactics of...

...to naught if you don't have the confidence to apply it. I build up my student's confidence, not with platitudes or empty praise, but by having them practice and learn to believe in themselves. Too often, people are derailed by factors that have nothing to do with their intelligence or their ability. I am well aware of that, and as a tutor, I consider it my job to give my students the confidence to apply...
