...year of teaching Spanish. I have taught everything from elementary Spanish all the way up through Spanish 3, which I teach right now. I have lived in Central America and have experience using Spanish in an authentic setting. I also teach ESL for students learning English as a second language and have been an online ESL tutor working with mostly teens and adults for about 3 years now. Additionally, I have hosted an "SAT Bootcamp"...

...can grow as a writer! I am a graduate from Saint Mary's University of Minnesota where I majored in Graphic Design, minored in English, and held an emphasis in public relations. After graduation, I spent three years writing and editing press releases and newsletters for the U.S. Army as a civilian public affairs specialist. Last year, I tutored 7th-10th graders in grammar and composition, geometry, Latin grammar, and medieval history for a hybrid-homeschool academy. In...

...Creative Writing. From there, I furthered my academic career at Schoolcraft College where I received an Associate's in Culinary Arts and obtained my Certified Sous Chef designation. At Schoolcraft, I became a teacher's aide/sous chef and was able to teach students from different backgrounds and age groups, and was able to develop and adjust teaching styles based on the needs of the student. I believe that tutoring not only helps the student, but the tutor...

...human growth and development in the Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) in high school, where I taught material in the sciences such as diseases and psychology. This experience made me more flexible to different learning and teaching methods, and I realized using interactive methods worked best. Everyone in my group made it to the state competition and two placed as state finalists. In my free time, I enjoy reading, taking walks, playing ping pong...

...Law at Yale, having previously earned my J.D. magna cum laude from the University of Michigan Law School. I practiced for three years at a large law firm in Washington, D.C., primarily representing television stations. I also speak German, having learned it as a high school exchange student, majored in it in college, and having spent a summer working in a Berlin law office. As much as I love the law--and I really do!--I also...

...material.” Having taught undergraduates at U.C. Berkeley and middle- and high-school students at the Treasure Island Boys and Girls Club in San Francisco, I have experience working with students from a variety of backgrounds and I know that every one is unique. Further, my goal as a tutor is not merely to impart information, but to guide the student through the learning process so that they can master the subject matter themselves. This requires a...

...and high school students as I have a passion for the subject being a former high school math team member. As a teacher, I try to make math understandable by using real world examples that the student can relate to. I believe that is is my job to teach the material in a variety of different ways in order to help the student to understand. Teaching undergraduate students while completing my masters degree gave me...

...especially chemistry, biology, and languages. I have always enjoyed talking about and teaching these subjects as they broaden my world and help me to understand how things work. I want to share this with my students whenever possible. I have been tutoring since my undergraduate years at the University of Hawaii where I earned a BA in chemistry and a certificate in French. I also studied chemistry at the graduate level at the University...

...importance of differing teaching styles to accommodate the learning style of the student. I like to emphasize an empowering approach to tutoring. It is not enough for the student simply to be presented with information about language, whether English or Latin. Most students benefit more from assistance in approaching the material and through the development of study skills such as learning the material in different ways or recognizing the root of the confusion. Therefore, I...

...Classics. My academic background includes a large amount of reading, analysis, and writing, which are suited to the SAT preparation. I especially love teaching Latin; over the past four years I have helped students master grammar and translation, while transferring my enthusiasm for the language and literature itself. I work very hard to make sure that my students make progress! In order to make this happen, I will tailor my approach to a subject to...

I have always loved school and have always had a passion for helping others. From a very young age, I especially loved to read, not only for myself but to others. I look forward to working with students and helping them to reach their goals, whatever they may be.

...currently working on completing my Ph.D. in Classics at the University of California, Irvine. I have tutored a variety of students, ranging from the elementary to the college level, for the past four years. I primarily tutor subjects relating to the Humanities, such as Ancient Languages, History, and English Composition. My favorite subject to tutor is Latin, since I regard Latin as the most beautiful and intricate of the human languages. When tutoring I first...

...enjoy my students and everything I teach, but guess I probably like Classics the best. I know how easy it is for a student to get lost in a class of 25-30 students and how it is to feel lost or so far behind you don't think you will ever catch up. I also know that anyone can learn almost anything; it just depends on the teacher, the student and the motivation. I love tutoring...

...Latin teacher at a public charter school. For the next three years I taught sixth through twelfth graders the wonders of Latin, composition, and classical history. I absolutely loved my job and I was excited to go to work each and everyday. I know now that I wish to be a lifelong teacher and I am currently taking steps to accomplish that goal. I resigned from my teaching position (which was an agonizing and difficult...

I started tutoring professionally in 2002 while I was in college. In 2004, I tutored English, French, Latin, and constitutional government for Baylor University's Student-Athlete Services and stayed there the first two years of law school. I love working with foreign languages. I speak English natively, French fluently, and Spanish and Arabic proficiently. I also can read and write Arabic.

...specialize in tutoring Latin and Greek and am familiar with a variety of textbooks, I am also skilled at preparing students for the SAT and GRE--particularly the reading and writing portions. Although I clearly have a deep passion for my subject matter, I have an even greater passion for student achievement that drives me to work relentlessly to obtain results. Over the past five years, I have acquired essential skills and experiences while teaching in...

...national written exams such as the Medusa Mythology Exam. Whether in the sciences or humanities, my students benefit from my unique blend of experience. My varied education, with degrees in both Biochemistry and Classical Studies and advanced study in a number of fields in between, gives me the flexibility to adapt to each student and the power to supplement a student's education with perspectives from other fields. My experience in leadership development, as president of...

...As a teacher of a world language, I have wide ranging experiences with teaching grammar, social studies, and writing as they pertain to my subject. My favorite subjects to tutor are Latin, Anthropology, and Social Studies because I love to make the parallels, but I have wide ranging experience with many different subjects. I believe that all students can achieve success in classes, but some students need different explanations, approaches, or instructional methods. I have...

...one's life in many new ways. Outside of work, I enjoy running every day. While in school, I made it a habit to get up early and run for at least half an hour each day. Recently, I have also been catching up on classic works which I did not get a chance to read before, such as The Picture of Dorian Gray, Paradise Lost, and All Quiet on the Western Front.

I have always enjoyed teaching fellow students and helping them succeed in their classes. My favorite subjects to teach are math, science, history, and Latin.
