...for a number literature and history courses. Many of my students are in their first or second year of university, and I especially enjoy working with them as they make the transition from high school to university, learning on the one hand what it means to write university level research papers, and on the other, how to approach books and ideas that complicate what they know about history, literature, and life. In my spare time,...

...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, making art, and listening to music. I have a cocker spaniel named Ranger and a chronic french fry craving, for which the only cure is french fries. My favorite...

...My role involves using my expertise to put the necessary resources in the hands of the students or more likely to be sure that my students are well equipped to find and evaluate the resources they need to answer their questions. Just like IBM, I want to help develop my students' thinking skills and acquisition of knowledge. My general hobbies are golf and swimming. I am not the best golfer, but I find it fun.

...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 I also have experience preparing students for standardized tests...

...My students learn best when I teach them how to ask questions. For example, one student setup an appointment with me asking me how to draw a ray diagram depicting a convex lens forming an image. I did not just tell him Heres what it looks like. No. I asked him questions and led him through the problem to the solution, at which he arrived on his own. He then said: You know, Mr. A.,...

...with students who have been accepted to Princeton and other highly selective universities, offering them advice with college essays and activity sheets. My essay advice is constantly informed by my knowledge of English literature. I have read works from Chaucer in Middle English to Charles Mee with his very postmodern take on language. I have also read Catullus, Caesar, Livy and Virgil in Latin and scanned Latin verse. I love acting and have found this...

...receiving the contest’s prestigious award for Best Brief. Today I am sharing the fruits of my exceptional education with students in the city. As an academic jack of all trades, my expertise extends beyond Writing and Latin, encompassing a wide range of World History and English curricula and standardized testing strategies.

...and make them feel less self-conscious and more confident about making mistakes and explaining their thought process. I am good at convincing my students that they will see more rewards from their persistence. I have worked with several students who were scoring in the seventies on tests and quizzes when I started working with them who then began to see dramatic results with scores in the nineties in a fairly short time. I make use...

...English and tutor mostly in these subjects as well. I have been tutoring since I was in graduate school for students of all levels and academic abilities. My first academic love is Latin and the Classics- I really enjoy helping others develop their skills with the language and gain an appreciation for the culture and history of Rome. In my spare time I love to travel, especially to Italy and Greece, whenever I get the...

...and college students in Algebra, Latin, French, and Spanish. While I love all of the subjects that I tutor, I particularly enjoy tutoring Spanish and French because they open doors to communicating with and understanding so many people, both near and far! I have traveled to Peru and hope to travel more in the future. I strongly believe that anyone can learn anything, as long as enough time and effort are given. I will go...
