I am a graduate of The College of William and Mary. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English, with a concentration in film studies and a minor in anthropology. My passion for literature brought me to New York--specifically to the New York publishing world, where I worked as an assistant to a literary agent for two years. It's probably become clear at this point that the subject I am most passionate about is writing. In college, I worked as a consultant at my school's Writing Resources Center, assisting students with their academic papers. In this position, I helped our clients improve the overall structure of their papers, strengthen their research, cite their sources, and correct their spelling and mechanics. I feel confident that I can address any paper problems you might have and make the writing process less intimidating.Aside from academic papers, I also write comedy sketches and spend most of my free time improvising and creating webseries with friends. Performing as a comedian may not seem connected to my educational philosophy, but I think many of the skills you learn as an improviser translate well to test taking. Staying calm under pressure and adjusting your strategy to meet new challenges are important whether you're onstage or in SAT prep mode!

I received my M.A. from DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois and my B.A. from the University of San Francisco. My scholarly interest tends towards European and American History, specifically the construction of gender through the lens of consumerism and nationalism. As far as tutoring I have lectured and taught throughout the course of my graduate studies on top of my experience working with first-generation college students through TRiO Student Support Services and the McNair Scholars Program, federal education opportunity outreach initiatives.My tutoring focus ranges from working with students to address educational gaps in structuring papers and arguments to assisting them with articles that are up for publication through various undergraduate journals. I love to study and tutor the areas of history, literature, and any field that deploys the use of critical analysis. I have noticed that students generally prefer to learn through a holistic approach that works to address not only their comprehension, but also their interest.I’m a huge fan of a good book, some good coffee, and traveling.

I am a native Texan now living in NYC. I just finished my Master's degree, and I love food, reading, and travel. I've been working and volunteering as a tutor since my high school days, and I am eager to provide advanced-level assistance to you! I'm a friendly, approachable person who maintains a professional but fun learning atmosphere. And, most importantly, we get hard work done!I believe I can provide tremendous assistance tutoring everything from ACT prep to Shakespeare and existential philosophy. My learning background is diverse, and my objective-based tutoring style is sure to lead to success. When we tackle problems, we are learning the how? and why?, not just the what? I aim to develop skills that the student can carry forward in his or her academic life, and my measured goal-setting will help student and tutor remain highly-motivated and see their efforts pay off significantly.Feel free to contact me at any time! I'm truly passionate about tutoring, and cannot wait to get started with you. I can guarantee a hard-working, experienced tutor who will do everything he can to fulfill your academic needs.

I am a senior studying Film Production at Emerson College. Though I am pursuing a career in filmmaking, I am also passionate about education. I have volunteered extensively to tutor children through various programs. At the Rosedale Achievement Center in the Bronx, I worked one-on-one with a high school student and with a middle school student. I helped them understand their school work in subjects including English, French, Algebra, Chemistry, History and Religious Studies. I also volunteered with Free Arts NYC, through which I, along with a group of tutors, taught small groups of elementary and middle school students about various famous artists and art techniques, and lead them in art projects. I have also taught swimming lessons as a Water Safety Instructor for several years; I taught children from age 4 to age 15 at Brookhaven Country Day Camp and at the Fresh Air Fund. These lessons taught me how to break down complex concepts to make them simple to understand. Furthermore, I am passionate about writing. I understand structure, conventions, and grammar of both academic and fiction writing, and I enjoy helping others improve their writing.

I received a B.S. in Psychology with a Geology minor from The University of Georgia in May 2012. After graduation, I moved to Thailand, completed my TESOL certification, and spent a year teaching English as a foreign language to Thai students ages 3-4 and 10-11. Working in the classroom was both fun and exhausting, but I especially enjoy one-on-one or small group learning situations because it allows for the opportunity to target individual weaknesses and turn them into strengths. I am especially interested in tutoring writing and study skills/techniques, or in working with any IB Diploma or Certificate candidates on IB subjects. I myself am extremely passionate about learning and plan to return to school to further my burgeoning career in social marketing through public health. In my spare time, I enjoy singing, practicing yoga and running outside.

I grew up in Virginia, where I completed the International Baccalaureate Diploma program in 2009. In 2013, I graduated from Barnard College with a degree in Political Science and Human Rights Studies. During college, I worked for the Junior Statesmen Summer School at Stanford University, where I helped students studying government, debate, international relations, and other topics. As a tutor, I believe there are no stupid questions, and that with enough hard work any student can succeed. In my free time, I'm an amateur photographer and an alumnae admissions interviewer for Barnard.

I am a teacher, certified to teach high school social studies. I have a Bachelor's degree in Biology from Smith College, an MPhil (a doctorate without a dissertation) in History from George Washington University and an MAT from Simmons College. I have taught and tutored at both the collegiate and high school levels, in History, Biology, Calculus and Spanish. I am happy to help with any subjects in which you or your child may need or want assistance. I am most comfortable with History, particularly World History (ancient through modern) and US History (I admit that political history between 1820 and 1850 is not my favorite subject, but I know it!). I speak four languages beyond English, in varying degrees (French, German, Arabic, Hebrew). My graduate training in History focused on Middle Eastern History and Cold War History (especially the nuclear arms race); in college, I minored in History, primarily the History of Europe between the Dark Ages and the Renaissance. I believe that a high school teacher's job (and a tutor's) is not just to cover the curriculum. I also provide my students with the skills they will need to succeed in college and the workplace, including study skills, note-taking skills, research skills, writing skills,and critical thinking skills, especially about current events. I agree with Jefferson on the necessity of well-informed voters to a functioning democracy. I also believe that learning should be fun, whenever possible, while admitting that, particularly in high school, students must often "get through" subjects they do not find fun. I feel I should acknowledge that I consider that once my student, always my student. This means that I answer panicked emails from students who have forgotten how to do footnotes once they get to college, among other things. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy reading, watching rugby (I used to play), swimming, dancing (all kinds), photography, reading, manga/anime and needlecrafts. Model United Nations is my all-time favorite club. In addition, I love spending time with my nephew and nieces (preschool to early elementary age). I love to laugh and I am often unintentionally funny; fortunately, I don't mind laughing at myself on occasion.

I am a graduate of The University of Florida and The University of St. Thomas. I received my Bachelor of Science in Political Science and then my Masters in Education with a focus on teacher leadership. Upon graduation from UF, I joined Teach For America and began working here in Houston. I have taught American History to underprivileged 8th graders for five years now as well as worked with both the Houston Independent School District and Teach For America in training their newest educators. In these roles I have seen amazing results from both children and adult learners while also having fun. While I tutor and teach a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about American History. I am a firm proponent of equipping students with the reading and writing skills necessary to excel at the collegiate level. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, coaching football and track & field, as well as traveling.

Six months ago I was reciting off the lyrics to the song "Thrift Shop" in front of a class of seven adult Muscovites struggling to learn English. The book we were using was dry and the vocabulary boring. All of the students were young and liked American music. So I decided to bring in a song they all liked. We spent the rest of the class discussing that one song. The next class I was presented with a host of requests that ranged from 50 Cent to Miley Cyrus.I chose this approach because I feel that learning is best internalized when a student feels like he or she can own their learning process. This means that the teacher works to facilitate guided discovery and so is in constant dialogue with the student. Those students needed to learn English in a way that was relevant to them. This approach has been informed through a year and a half teaching in Russia as well as my education. I completed my B.A. in History and International Relations from Bowdoin College. Before that I went to St. Johns School here in Houston.My interest in history and international relations definitely informs what I do outside of teaching. I love trying and cooking new foods, some with more success than others! I also play soccer and cycle quite a bit.

I received a B.S. in Business Economics and an M.A. in Classics from the University of Arizona. I am currently working on completing my Ph.D. in Classics at the University of California, Irvine. I have tutored a variety of students, ranging from the elementary to the college level, for the past four years. I primarily tutor subjects relating to the Humanities, such as Ancient Languages, History, and English Composition. My favorite subject to tutor is Latin, since I regard Latin as the most beautiful and intricate of the human languages. When tutoring I first ask for a copy of the course syllabus/schedule, assess the needs, goals, and expectations of the student in the course, and then set up a tutoring system that serves each student's specific situation.
