...true comprehension and understanding. To me, history and social studies are important only in the context of what they teach us about how events and culture shape the world in which we currently live. A history class cannot be taught in isolation - it must be made relevant to our experiences today. I can certainly help struggling students to memorize names and dates for an exam, but my primary goal is to encourage a thorough...

There are simple constructs of idea, speaker, and audience that must be conveyed in an essay. An author utilizes these same focal points to craft a powerful written work. When an assignment comes along, the anxiety to perform that it creates can nullify the...

...an attorney who has lived and studied abroad, my teaching style is influenced by my broad experiences and big-picture mentality, understanding that students learn in different ways. I believe the most important thing in teaching is to frame the problem in a way that the student can understand what the bigger questions are, and to create their own frameworks to address issues without outside assistance. I also believe in encouraging consistent and efficient study habits...

...College Chicago; after exploring many fields of interest (writing, linguistics, computer science, and more), I completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Fashion Design graduating Cum Laude. As a tutor, I work to completely engage with a student's learning process and try to see the subject through their eyes. I stress conceptual understanding over formula memorization, but I'm also realistic about the demands of standardized testing and teach testing strategy as well as material....

...am majoring in Health Care Management & Policy and I am on the pre-medical track. Outside of school I enjoy playing basketball with friends, watching Mets, Jets and Rangers games and going camping.

Apart from my end-all goal of cultivating spaces with other like-minded artists and teachers (the healers) for our people to be seen and heard, I'm out here continuing to lay the foundation for individual narratives, like my own, to be honest sources of light for kids, artists, and anyone else who needs it. I consider myself a true people person. Always ready to wave, quick to say hello, and eager to...

...compare a historical event to an ongoing, contemporary controversy. Or I would encourage students to think of historical figures as actual characters with goals and motivations instead of just a name on a page. Likewise, when tutoring vocabulary, I would encourage students to make an educated guess about a word's meaning by thinking of other words with similar roots. Through it all, students need to feel that their tutor is someone dependable, trustworthy, and fun...
