...focuses on helping Elementary school children who are reading below grade level get caught up and have worked as a writing tutor for about one year now. As you can tell, my specialty is English and writing, but I have also had great success with teaching math, because I am a good communicator. I sincerely believe that a student can learn to do anything as long as he understands what his teacher is explaining (and...

...in math, both as a private tutor and with a company. My BA (University of Arizona) and M. Phil. (Trinity College Dublin) degrees are respectively in Creative Writing and in English, and as such, I have a strong background in those subjects as well, which are my favorite to tutor--I enjoy exploring the precision of language to clearly communicate ideas.

...to take every opportunity to assist friends and classmates. Now, in graduate school, I have had the opportunity for training in teaching strategies and philosophy, as well as hands-on work assistant teaching undergraduate psychology courses. I find that I am best at teaching test taking strategies, particularly for the SAT and GRE, and I excel at English focused tasks. Apart from teaching, I have 3 dogs and 4 cats, a flourishing desert garden, and am...

...I was accepted to Harvard, Stanford, UC Berkeley, UPenn, and NYU Law Schools. I most enjoy tutoring subjects that are distinctively analytical, like the LSAT, philosophy, and logic. I think these subjects are a unique challenge to teach because students only develop the necessary skill if they are able critically think through the problems at hand. I thus do my best to guide my students thinking processes, rather than tell them the answers. I spend...

In and out of the classroom, I have always loved to write, read, and think critically about the subjects that captivate my mind - poetry, religion, gender, language. I really enjoy sharing my love of learning with others, especially the younger generation just beginning to explore their academic and personal interests! I specialize in Spanish (from beginner to AP level), and Critical Reading and Writing. I am looking forward to working with you!

I also have experience working with high school students preparing them for exams and working with students to create a well written paper. I believe that tutoring should be interactive. The best way to learn is by trial and error along with repetition and practice. When I...

...used to back up their opinion. Similar to a hard science and a lab report, humanities is a soft science, in which I always incorporate the scientific method to have students prove their point and disprove the opposing view. As such, I believe a humanities class should be more like a chess match and a trial than a blanket remembrance of straight fact. I believe I am best suited for the role because I always...

...the Air Force has given me a degree of structure, but I mostly enjoy informal learning environments- Ive found that it removes pressure and allows for confidence to grow. For the purpose of this site, my particular expertise is anything English, to include literature, grammar and syntax, proficiency in writing, literacy (young and adult), and English as a second language. Because of my linguistic background, I am also available to teach Hebrew. As I get...

...move from planning a writing assignment to publishing it in a final draft! It is fun to ask students questions about their writing, help them edit their work, and offer words of encouragement. I learned fun and dynamic grammar and writing strategies when I taught English Language Learners in Beijing, China for 13 months two years ago. In my free time I love to read, watch old TV shows, spending time with friends, and hiking...

I also served as...

Some of my favorite authors are British. I've had experience teaching in public and private school settings, elementary through high school. I'm currently homeschooling my two kids and have daily experience in motivating and encouraging students to learn. With questions, patience and a sense of humor, I'm able...

My first book came out last month and I am not hoping to be admitted to a graduate program to earn my MFA in fiction. I also love yoga. It's the thing I look forward to in order to slow my world down just a little bit. I love tutoring. It is such an honor to be...

...students with learning disabilities. As far as my career goes (see my resume for more details), a tour of my recent writings demonstrates my adept ability to command research and narration across genre lines, from analyzing the convergence of U.S. foreign policy and immigration in Guatemala, published in Yes!

Writing and reading are my main vocations and past times, though I have had about...

...I also tutored individuals and groups on writing, textual analysis, SAT/GRE prep and other subjects related to literature and the social sciences. After teaching in Nicaragua, I moved to Syria where I taught ESL classes to Syrians at the American Language Center in Damascus. As seems pretty evident, I love to travel and have lived in different countries teaching and learning too. I currently hold two master's in History and Latin American studies. In both...
