...is Zhaleh BassiriRad and I am currently studying Mechanical Engineering and Japanese at Carnegie Mellon University. I enjoy tutoring because I love sharing knowledge with others, especially in one-on-one sessions, or with a small group. Teaching others is a great way to expand understanding of how other students think and develop ideas, and it allows myself to see new ways to look at problems. While I'm not studying (or helping my friends study), I love...

I look forward to helping students work...

Hi! I'm Rachel. I have a pretty relaxed teaching style and adapt well to all kinds of students. I really aim for students to understand concepts rather than make great test scores. However, great test scores are a good side effect of understanding concepts better.

I like literature and performing arts most in life. I tend to incorporate both into classes to blend into textbook work. If you're looking for a more creative approach to language, that's what I provide. I have plenty of books and media that I've used myself to further my own studies.... I believe in going with the flow of nature. One must walk before they can run and crawl before they can walk.... I like to...

...years I tutored students for three semesters and saw how I could gently encourage making the subject “one’s own” in a friendly, supportive way. I’m patient and flexible when it comes to changing my approach based on a student’s particular learning needs. Rather than simply showing my method for solutions, I make note of how students tackle problems, and their thinking gives me guidance concerning strategies that will improve on their own methods. I enjoy...

I will strive to help my students become successful, not only in their studies, but also in their path to becoming responsible, caring adults. This is my goal as an educator. As...

...we truly understand something. My goal as an instructor is help my students gain these skills. I don't want to just bark, "This is correct. End of discussion." I want my students to know why they need to do things in certain ways. However, no one person learns the same way as anyone else. We can make general methods to teach many students a bit, but to really learn something, the learning process has to...

...languages I have studied extensively, while obtaining my teaching credential in Music. After graduate school, I headed to Japan to live and teach ESL for two years, before heading back to Silicon Valley to purse a career as a music teacher.

...as three. I'll be earning my JLPT N1 certification later this year -- Japanese is my favorite subject to tutor, but I also enjoy mathematics.

In my free time, I enjoy computers programming, video games, and just about anything from Japan.

I like spending more time to get to know my students to better understand how to help them. I've worked with ESL students and collage students for English and Japanese. Through that I found out that everyone is different and have gone through different experiences. So they deserve a more personalized approach...

However, I also found that learning foreign languages not...
