I understand that not everybody learns in the same way, not everybody has the same needs! I work with kids, young learners and adults. I hold a degree in Education and I also have been an English as a foreign language teacher at a Peruvian university for more than ten years.... Clear explanations, easy learning.

...confident in both my quantitative and verbal skills, I consider my primary strength to lie in standardized test-taking, the process of which I profoundly enjoy, strange as it is to say. To my mind, taking a test imparts the same kind of pleasure as listening to your favorite kind of music. You have a certain, almost intuitive sense of what to expect: certain instruments might be playing at a certain tempo, while the general format...

...both in English. I also completed a second graduate degree in English at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. I have always worked with students in different capacities, most recently as a professor at a local community college. I also have experience tutoring students in everything from basic math and reading skills to college level writing and test preparation. I most enjoy helping students with their writing because they can see concrete improvements from their hard...

...my graduation, a distinction that demonstrates my mastery of the subject. I am also an alumnus of the Washington and Lee School of Law, where I further honed my critical thinking and writing skills in pursuit of my JD. In Washington and Lee’s highly competitive Moot Court Competition, I put these skills to good use, receiving the contest’s prestigious award for Best Brief. Today I am sharing the fruits of my exceptional education with students...

...This was reinforced during my undergraduate studies, when I worked with the university tutoring office, and was confirmed in graduate school, when I found I had a greater passion for teaching than for research. I have been involved in education ever since, tutoring students independent, serving as the math tutor at ITT Technical Institute, and most recently as a substitute teacher, where my greatest joy comes when I am given the opportunity to work with...

...Spanish classes for eight years at both the high school and college levels and have an upper intermediate fluency. I hope to continue my education and eventually become a professor of Classics with a focus on ancient religion and art during the Archaic period. I enjoy all of the subjects that I tutor, but I am most passionate about Latin, Writing, Spanish, and History. As a tutor, it's most important to me to cater lessons...

...2008 and am expecting to receive my Master of Arts in Teaching in December 2014. In 2011, I received my Missouri teaching certifications for Latin (k-12), Social Studies (9-12), and English (9-12). I worked as a substitute teacher (k-12) for the Springfield R-XII public school system and Springfield Catholic Schools for many different subjects from 2009-2011.

...University of Michigan, I worked at the Academic Resource Center, tutoring athletes in chemistry. When I worked for a year at a biotech company, I also tutored high-school students in geometry and calculus. And during graduate school I tutored Latin and Greek to several middle-school and high-school students in the Cambridge, MA area. My tutoring passions are Latin and chemistry at all levels. It's always a treat to help students succeed through visualizing their tasks...

...in Government. When I went away to college, getting certified to teach was one of my goals because of these experiences. While at the University of the South, I took 5 education courses and tutored in Grundy County (TN) Middle School and Franklin County (TN) High School. Unfortunately, my school phased out their licensure program my sophomore year. I took a semester off and taught Outdoor Education at the YMCA of the Ozarks in 2010....

...in 2010. I am writing my dissertation on Homer’s Iliad. I have been a teaching assistant at UCLA for four years. Two of these years I taught introductory courses on Greek and Roman civilization. I have extensive experience working individually with students during my office hours, which students frequent above all for help with their papers. Whatever the stage of the writing process, I can pass on lots of practical knowledge hard-won from years of...
