...the teacher appears." I am here to help students find their own inner teacher, and often I use the Socratic Method to help students access their own creativity, logic, and critical thinking instincts. A good tutor is a guide, not an expert. Although I have expert skills, the point is not for me to flex my prowess but to help you, the student, cultivate your own capacities for self-trust and independence as a learner. Outside...

...general education, as well as high-level coursework in social sciences, history, philosophy, and other humanities. I can serve as a single, long-term tutor for students that need support in several subjects. I consider myself an "expert generalist," which is a rare specialty at the college level.

I want students to feel more confident in their writing and speaking skills, and to become more independent learners. My hobbies include...

...building a house: it must start from the foundation! That is, the basics. From there, students keep on adding 'bricks' in a consistent way, until reaching the 'roof', their goal. Even though quite a few students believe they know at least 'some' Spanish, or can get by speaking a broken English, if t hey are serious about becoming fluent in a foreign language, their basics must be solid, and there should be no gaps in...

My professional background is in museum education, but I have tutored many subjects, and I have an extensive history of online teaching.

...course. I was responsible for creating lesson plans and grading student performance. Having taught students with so many interests (I only ever taught one History major) and of such different backgrounds, I find the challenge of making History interesting and relevant to students a rewarding one. This includes not only making the material of History interesting, but in showing that History is more than simply the memorization of dates and names; I firmly believe that...

...all ages, backgrounds, and interests for over a decade. In the history classes I teach, I ask students to think about how global developments in politics, economics, and science have shaped the lives of individuals and societies throughout time. In Spanish, German, and English language courses, I strive to build students’ confidence and make communicating in another language fun! I particularly enjoy tutoring because it allows me to tailor the session to meet students’ unique...

...that made the biggest impact at Boston College was Goethe's Faust, in two semesters, very rigorous, taught by a German professor, Bloom. He had seven doctorates and fluent in many languages. He was the very embodiment of Goethe, who believe knowledge is a life long endeavor, which I strongly believe in. I want to impart into my students the same philosophy. Law, Literature, Management, Marketing, English, Social Studies, Spanish, Spanish 2, Spanish 3, Spanish 4,...

...values, attitudes and cultures, their learning is motivated by different factors. It is my responsibility as a teacher to find and use teaching strategies that reach as many students as possible in my classroom. Employing different teaching techniques will provide my students with multiple ways of learning. I believe student learning gets staggered without effective classroom management. I believe that classroom management allows the teacher to have an organized environment that promotes learning as well...

...when I tutor in Chemistry and Math. Math is a subject that has a special place in my heart; chemistry can be related to our everyday life, which sparked my interest. I believe that any question asked is a step closer to understanding the material, and I encourage my students to ask any question that can help resolve their confusion. I love playing golf, road biking, hiking, and eating delicious foods in my spare time.

Teaching is exhilarating, I never feel more energized than after a class that has gone well. My desire is to engage, challenge, and inspire growth in my students. I want my students to make connections between old and new material, while developing a sense of self-sufficiency.

...and dialects. I currently study to become a court interpreter/translator where I can help all types of Spanish-speakers with various linguistic needs. As for teaching, I have had the privilege to tutor both English and Spanish at a range of levels. Learning a language is giving yourself a new skill and opening the door to any number of possible human interactions. This is my favorite part of helping individuals with their Spanish studies--helping develop a...

In college, I participated in a Spanish language drama club, and I directed a play in Spanish,...
