...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, I play the concert harp and enjoy listening to music, swimming, baking, and reading twentieth-century literature.

...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., I learned more in the past five minutes about optics than my entire last semester. I thought he was exaggerating, but then I realized that his teacher last semester did not present him with...

...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 like the MCAT. At Rice University, I also worked as a teaching assistant in Cell Biology, where I lectured at review sessions, assisted students individually with their questions, and even wrote some exam material....

...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.

...to be student centered and that students need to be equal partners in the learning process. 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...

...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 academic textual study informing the parts I play on stage. I enjoyed acting in many productions at Princeton and have done coursework in acting at Lee Strasberg, Stella Adler, Princeton, BADA at Oxford, and...

...around the world trying to learn the native languages where I am. I have been studying language since age 11, and I have never stopped trying to master new languages. Besides tutoring, I am a classical musician, a singer, and a composer; I perform all around the world. I have experience working with all age groups and I first started tutoring at age 15. I am a patient, engaging, and fun tutor. I've been in...

...him. He required more care, and for longer, than anticipated, but it was not a choice I would ever reverse. And if, for now, qualities born of that experience must recommend me more than the usual benchmarks of achievement, they may be of more value anyway. Compassion and patience, with recourse to humor, are certainly invaluable for a tutor. I have always been able to do well in academic settings and test-taking. Much of this...

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.

...broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Latin, European History, and anything to do with grammar! My teaching style is fluid; I like to incorporate other disciplines so that I can help my students develop their weaknesses by playing to their strengths. I believe strongly in the value of a liberal arts education, and I hope I can inspire students to think about how all academic subjects relate to each other. When I'm...
