...SAT. I love teaching struggling test takers how to view the SAT as an approachable, accessible set of riddles and games instead of as an intellectual brick wall. I firmly believe that the majority of people can find great joy in academics once they discover the individual approach that works for them. I see it as my job to help them find that path. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, rock climbing, running, travel,...

...in which I tutor have also gotten broader. I have a language focus now. I enjoy the richness of the English language and even the challenge of following all of the rules, punctuation, etc. The job of a writing coach is also very important. While we all learn from getting feedback about our composition, we also want to work with a tutor that can help us express our own ideas well. I am interested in...

...which I have taught or tutored. Helping others understand what they are studying is one of many things that I love doing. The subjects I have tutored include Spanish, Japanese, science, history, algebra, English (literature, grammar, and writing), public speaking, film, American culture, and many others. Offering simple and clear explanations is my forte. I have a very patient character, so I'm able to gently, but persistently stay by your side until the proverbial light...

...time management skills, and reading, writing, and critical thinking skills at any level. I love helping students find the way that works best for them to approach problem solving and learning. I am very interested in education and have experience working with both children and young adults in New York public schools as well as outdoor summer schools. I speak both French and Arabic and am learning Spanish, and in my free time I love...

Although I enjoy tutoring a variety of subjects, my favorite subjects to teach are math and writing. I truly enjoy mathematics, and that passion becomes a part of my teaching. From pre-algebra to statistics, I love finding new ways to explain challenging mathematical concepts. I also believe that the ability...

...Training Program, which I followed up with a 1 year internship at Mt. San Antonio College. In keeping with the Deaf community, I started meeting aspiring interpreters and realized I love helping them reach their goals. I started tutoring and have found it to be a successful and rewarding process.

...a graduate from UC Irvine, and grew up in Southern California. I began tutoring students in high school for science and math and picked up private tutoring for calculus and physics in college. I graduated UC Irvine as a biology major and a psychology minor. I enjoy private tutoring because it gives me an opportunity to alter my teaching habits and see which style best fits the student's learning ability. I enjoy teaching math and...

...as an interventionist. There is not one subject area that I prefer over another because my philosophy for each subject area is the same: all students are capable of proficiency. As long as we believe that our children can succeed, hold them to high expectations, and create an environment that is differentiated based on their needs, they will be successful. With this philosophy in mind, tutoring in any subject area can be fun because it...

...I have tutored in those subjects as well as in U.S. History, Chemistry, English, and Math (up to Geometry, Algebra, and Caculus I). I also taught a Mineralogy course at Loma Linda University in the winter of 2013. When teaching, my objective is to help students understand the big picture, which gives them a framework that they can fill with details and a way to associate seemingly unrelated concepts. In my spare time, I enjoy...
