In addition, I’ve taught English as a Second Language at an academic summer camp for teenagers in Germany. Currently,...

...fall. Humans are so lucky to have a capacity for reason, so we can explore the infinite content of the universe. I love to draw out that love for learning in students, even ones who seem to feel discouraged or insecure in their lack of understanding. All people have a capacity to learn everything from classical composition to theoretical physics. It's only a matter of perseverance and teamwork between tutors and students.... Everyone in the world is capable of learning anything. All it takes is a teacher and student getting to know each other and figuring out the best way to gain full and well-rounded understanding. By achieving complete comprehension of subjects, students are far more prepared to take on future challenges in any subject.

...France at a summer camp for American high school students, running activities and trips while tutoring them in French. My main areas of expertise are French and History though I also tutor Literature and SAT Prep (Verbal/Writing).

...result you wish. My way of teaching focuses on understanding instead of rote memorization and that each pupil is best suited for a tailored teaching plan that takes into account your current abilities, time commitments, strengths/weaknesses, and desired result. My hobbies and interests include reading (literature), creative writing, calligraphy, and video games. I grew up in bilingual household, so I can also speak Mandarin in a near-native level and studied and travelled extensively in Europe...

...my passions for knowledge and success is something I try to accomplish with each person with whom I work. Every student deserves a tutor who will approach their needs in different and innovative ways. I accomplish this by getting to know my students as classroom entities as well as people. In this way, I can vary my teaching style to suit each student and stay open to adjusting as necessary. I am fluent in French,...
