Hello! I am a Social Studies, Language Arts and AVID teacher. I really enjoy traveling, food, running, volleyball and hiking. I am a visual learner, I like to be able to see things and I also really like graphic organizers to help keep track of information but I understand that everyone learns differently and I have a lot of strategies for different types of learners!... In a first session, I like to get right into what the student's goals are for the session as well as over time. I also like to try to find out how the student likes to learn and what styles of learning are easiest for them.

I have been teaching high school history for 7 years now in Oregon, Brasilia, and currently in South Florida. I have taught and created curriculum for a wide variety of history courses, with experience teaching AP US and European History, and 4 years teaching IB History.

...the underlying reasons of why some concepts are harder than others and teach to the style (visual, aural, verbal, physical) that best suits the student. I also work with the student (and parents) to develop plans to reach the student's overall academic goals.

My ultimate goal as a tutor is not to teach someone how to solve a problem or pass a test, but to teach the essential knowledge needed to succeed in a course beyond the raw grade. I believe that through a holistic assessment of a subject, it will be easier for someone to learn how to accomplish tasks related to that subject in the future. I hope to get students to a point where they...

...History exams. I am the most passionate about History but I also tutor students in English, Literature, and Critical Writing. In helping students study history, I focus on analyzing primary source documents and getting students engaged by focusing on events, people, and narratives in which they are most interested. It is my firm belief that education is about helping students realize their own capacity for continuous growth and learning, not simply imparting information. As the...

...mental map. I am happy to guide students at any level and tailor lessons to their needs. Although I enjoy writing and mathematics the most, I have a passion for physics, earth sciences, reading comprehension French and Japanese. I encourage students to find freedom in these subjects rather than trauma. In each lies a means of expression and an opportunity for dialogue. Physics, for example, offers us a completely new vocabulary for describing our natural...

...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.

...level helping students improve their written communication skills. I have years of experience working one-on-one with young people, providing them with test prep strategies and challenging them to become independent lifelong learners.

...SAT and college level writing looks like. I also have experience with Algebra, a subject which I have come to gain a much better understanding of. This helps me relate to struggling students because I can often make the Algebra make sense to them the way I had to have it make sense to me.

As a liberal arts college graduate (my classes at Allegheny consisted of around 15 students each) I have firsthand experience getting individual, customized instruction directly from a teacher, so I know how valuable that attention is. I will bring passion, patience, and understanding to each tutoring session in order to attain optimal results. I look forward to meeting you!

...academic support to my peers. There were no material incentives - the rewards were intrinsic. Thus, I learned to love teaching for its own sake. When I came to college, the opportunities only expanded. I was able to support myself through the first year of college on this skill alone. It continued to be something I enjoyed, and it ultimately led to me directing a tutoring program - the Let's Get Ready program, at my...

...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.
