...in both confidence and competency levels. I am particularly passionate about tutoring English, Mandarin, and standardized test prep. In my experience working with students struggling to pass a class or to prepare for college entrance exams, we always have fun determining the study method that works best for them. Everybody has a different learning style and once we hone in on the right one for you, an improvement in scores will become more than apparent....

...always make sure I can help the student find a way to understand the material, even if it means deviating form normal techniques. I have tutored both kids and peers in the past. I have found that for kids, especially in mathematics, relating to something they enjoy makes the experience more enjoyable. Regarding peers/college level students, I can relate to them very well, because I have been through exactly what they're going through and I...

...is to instill confidence in students, develop a curiosity for the world, create a fascination for the fundamentals, and imbue motivation for learning from within the learner. I believe that every person has the capacity for any subject, and that in order to unlock the key to success, each student has to look inside themselves, with possibly help from an external source (in this example, me as a tutor!). I'm very passionate, lighthearted, and confident...

...the University of Arizona with my BA in Linguistics. My minors are Spanish and Mandarin Chinese. I was born in Germany, and speak fluent German. I have always had a love and interest for languages, and my goal is to encourage students to also embrace foreign languages, and hopefully ignite a spark for second-language learning all kinds of different people. Learning a second, third, or even fourth language can be an extremely fun and rewarding...

...student in Psychology. I am also my little sister???s unofficial Spanish tutor ??? she is a high school student currently taking Spanish 2.

...need help, or cannot receive adequate help due to environmental limitations. Tutoring falls into this category because often times, the student needs help outside of their school environment. While I tutor many different subjects, my favorite subject to tutor is Mathematics, particularly Statistics and Basic Algebra. I enjoy those specific mathematical subjects because I believe they are the most black and white subjects and therefore, the easiest to break down for a student. Nothing is...

...the opportunity arises. I began tutoring elementary and middle school students in basic study skills, math, and reading at a young age, and have been tutoring since.

I believe that any student is capable of learning and mastering any concept...

...relationships with the students I work with, so I can help lead them to success in the same way that I was as a student. Because of this drive to give back, I've already amassed a number of prior experiences in teaching and tutoring. These experiences roughly fall into two major areas- the sciences, and the humanities. In the sciences, I've worked with both peers and younger students in a number of biomedical fields, and...

...District while earning my M.A. in Elementary Education at Arizona State University. During this time I adopted many of Teach for America's core beliefs: that all students should have the opportunity to receive an excellent education; that every student is capable of succeeding; and that family income should not determine a student's academic success. After my two-year commitment to the corps ended, I moved to Japan and taught English through Phoenix Sister Cities. During this...

...have an extensive mathematical background), computing, and acting. Although most technical students don't have the time, or perhaps the desire, to engage in an art, I actively pursue my artistic interest acting in movies and taking classes. I also grew up playing sports, specifically football, and take interest in most others as well. My goal is to challenge myself to help a student find what it is that they are missing in the material, and...

...love of learning with other people. I've tutored middle school students for a year and I love it. My students and I usually meet 1-3 times a week and they have all made significant positive changes in test scores and overall understanding of a variety of subjects. I am patient, encouraging, and friendly. I understand that each individual learns differently and I tailor my lessons to each student.My hobbies are exploring downtown Phoenix, playing sports,...

...I believe that all students learn a little differently, and though schools try their best they can't account for every learning style. My goal is to adapt my instruction to each student's preferences in order to help them as much as I can. In my free time, I like to play ice hockey (or just skate), knit, do yoga, and read, especially epic fantasy (I may or may not have all the Lord of the...

I also plan to attend graduate school, and eventually I would...

I am an advocate of the Love & Logic philosophy of...

...and learning a language is a challenge for teachers and students because second language acquisition is quite a complex process. Language teachers need to be able to choose from multiple teaching options that are in the professional literature and find out which of these choices are best. Teaching Spanish language to university students at ASU has enriched my experience as a language teacher. I have learned what teaching approaches and methodologies are more effective, in...
