Award-Winning Literature Tutors in Indianapolis, IN

...models, professors, and students have helped me in the past. I believe each student learns differently, and it's incredibly important to determine how each particular student learns and what strategies work well for each individual in order to allow them to succeed. I also thoroughly enjoy helping students find a passion and enjoyment for STEM fields as I have. In my free time, I love traveling, acting in community theatre productions, and crafting.

I am a recent graduate of Indiana University-Bloomington, where I majored in Political Science and Mandarin Chinese. This past year I studied abroad and worked in China with the Chinese Flagship Program. I love studying history, languages, literature, and writing, and when I'm not helping students as a tutor, you can find me swing dancing, listening to jazz music, experimenting with vegan baking, and walking my dog. ... Learn by doing.

...the things that make me a suitable candidate to assist in orchestrating your future through academics, but the most auspicious quality I possess is my attitude. I spent most of my time as a mentor, tutor and supplemental instructor at Midwestern State; I taught History and Spanish mainly, but also Grammar and Essay Writing. I have a love for sharing knowledge and teaching study patterns for different types of learners. I have been assisting my...

...at Indiana University, I really enjoyed helping my friends who weren't English majors or who were ESL students write essays for their courses. Since then I've continued tutoring both Essay Writing and Literature, and now I'm foraying into test prep as well. I'm currently working as an Editorial Assistant for the Indiana Legislative Services Agency, so I edit state bills for grammar and punctuation, to make sure the law looks neat and tidy. I really...

Professional tutor, teacher, and mentor with many years of experience working with students of all ages (Pre-K through adult). Fostering a lifelong love of learning is my goal. Building on strengths and working through problems and challenges is what I do.

...tutoring experiences and my teacher training, I have learned to adapt quickly to individual student's learning styles. I have cultivated an attitude of patience, open-mindedness, and flexibility toward my students. A tutoring session with me is a time of cooperation and steady progress; I value my students' goals and want to ensure they reach them long-term. When I am not speaking in Spanish or writing an essay, I love to read, especially outside in the...

...learn what it means to bring what is genuine to a world that severely lacks it. This involves accepting and understanding themselves first and then, through education, developing what they have to offer society. To me, the most saddening experiences have been working with children that have been let down or abandoned by authority figures, like teachers, and have put up emotional barriers that pre-vent them from learning. Sadly, this phenomenon disproportionately affects poor communities...

...their goals! I enjoy equipping my students with the tools they need to enhance their learning, and thereby, their confidence. I obtained a Bachelor's degree in Secondary English Education and a law degree from Indiana University-Bloomington, and am currently finishing up my PhD in Law & Public Policy. As you can see, I am a life-long learner and I love to help students learn new things and understand difficult concepts in a new way! As...

...and enhancing your strengths, and improving those areas where you aren't as strong! As a writing tutor, I work with college and graduate students in all majors and disciplines. I am also trained in working with writers for whom English is a second language. As a long-time book editor, I am expert in grammar and punctuation. I also have worked with many creative writers of all ages and levels (from 1st grade to published!). Right...

I am passionate about education and am lucky to have worked in the field since college. Nothing makes me happier than helping a student to understand something that was giving them trouble.

I try to make tutoring as productive and fun as possible.... In a first session I would try to find out the student's goal and assess what their current strengths and weaknesses are in regard to that goal.

...critically and independently. History, whether it is personal/family or state or national or world, provides an identity and moral understanding. I find it exciting when students move beyond parroting what I say or what the readings say to draw their conclusions and back up their statements with facts. By examining the past, students learn so much more about the present, as well as develop the abilities to use logic, problem-solve, assess evidence and conflicting interpretations,...

Learning can be a challenge, but that's ok. No one is great at every facet of school or of life. Asking for help when you need it is always the best option. I would love to help out any student struggling with the subjects listed on my profile.

...was a Guest Lecturer for Symbolic Logic. This taught me quite a bit about public speaking and helped me develop my teaching philosophy. The benefit to being a Guest Lecturer rather than a Teaching Assistant is that I actually had the opportunity to lead classes on multiple occasions, while providing additional study time outside the classroom. The students always come first. Whenever I hold study sessions I focus on fun. Activities include weekly logic puzzles...

...focus on teaching every student the most effective, step-by-step way to approach each question on each section of the test. Beyond test prep, I've taught/tutored just about every academic subject through the undergraduate level. Outside the classroom, I enjoy reading about history, going to church, coaching sports (track & tennis), and spending time with my family. I really enjoy getting to know each student I teach as we work toward our goals.

I am excited about the opportunity to assist students in their educational needs. I look forward to the opportunity in seeing students grow and succeed in their educational journey. I will work hard to make sure each student receives the best assistance possible!!

...on tour coaches for educational student tours, and as a tutor. I have lived and worked in France teaching sports and music to French children in Burgundy and Dordogne regions. I am a certified high school teacher in both French and English from Penn State. My philosophy is to teach in a manner that is fun and accessible to all. Education and knowledge is light that opens up new worlds and opportunities.

...worked in fund raising for a professional theatre. Currently, I work in healthcare, as an office manager for a medical practice. I have five children, ages 10 to 22. As a school parent, I have led many classroom book clubs and have helped students with writing and editing. For the past five years, I have served as a Spell Bowl coach. Our spellers master hundreds of words in order to participate in two annual competitions....

"I touch the future. I teach."... I am pretty animated, so first off I will say "When I talk, I use my hands a lot." I like to use pen and paper or an article that relates to the topic we are addressing; something new that is going on today that is relevant to something that they are going over in class. I use several examples of jumbled up sentences or scrambled sentences, missing one word...

...China for half a year. I completed my undergraduate degree in International Cultural Studies: Communications in 2017. I will complete my MA in Literary Studies in Fall 2019. I love to travel and have spent the last few years moving between Hawaii, Indiana, and China, as well as visiting friends around the world. I am also an artist and enjoy painting and sculpture. I have spent most of my life in schools and academic settings....
