After graduating with my B.A. in Political Science from the University of Maine, I worked in an urban school in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston to help students achieve higher marks in English/Language Arts and Math.

...I tutor for all things English related, but I also offer Math help from the elementary level up through middle school and Geometry. I also believe that there is a balance between working hard and letting yourself play and relax, no matter how old you get! Things I like to do for fun are read a good book, write creatively, watch great films and talk about them, take a hike, go running, volunteer in my...

I have been a teacher for ten years. I have taught at eight different schools and thrive in mostly the Humanities. While a high school teacher at heart and by profession, I have also worked with elementary age children with learning differences.... I believe that all students can succeed, and a good teacher's job is to find what makes students want to learn and ignite a love of learning in them.... Introduce myself and ask them...

...fun for my tutees. I don't want tutoring sessions to be something they dread; I want them to look forward to our time together! From my past experience, I have noticed that tutees tend to become more engaged with their topic once they study something that interests them. Whether their interest is Greek mythology or baseball, I will find something to engage my students with, and I will encourage them to find more topics of...

...brains learn differently across the lifespan; as a result, I understand ways to tailor my tutoring practice to the age of the student I'm working with. For example, the brain becomes much better at thinking abstractly over time as it becomes able to hold more pieces of information in mind at once. Thus, when tutoring younger children, it's helpful to rely much more on pictures and other visuals so the young learner doesn't have to...

...levels on several topics for over a decade. I have a B.S. in physics, and a master's in Nuclear Science and Engineering from WPI. I completed my second master's in particle astrophysics at the university of Strasbourg in France. I love getting students excited about learning and helping them through difficult topics. One of my favorite challenges is working with students to figure out their specific learning styles to optimize their academic performance.

...are having a difficult time with English coursework, no matter the age (Middle school, high school, undergrad). I believe that hard work and enthusiasm are the most important tools to success. Along with a variety of techniques I have to help with grammar, vocabulary, outlining, and argumentation, I try and stress the need for hard work and enthusiasm in all of my sessions. Tutoring means a great deal to me and I hope to have...

...graduated from SJC in 2015. While at St. Joseph's, I gathered experience in the classroom, both as a teacher of the required freshman composition class, as well as a tutor in the school's ACES program. The ACES program caters to international students or students who speak English as a non-primary language. Over the course of my tenure at SJC, I realized that the personal and direct education of the tutor and tutee relationship agrees more...

Similarly, if you never learned about the Revolutionary War and the creation of the Constitution, then you can't properly learn about US Politics and Government. Additionally, I believe that a quality education is the key to not only a successful but a fulfilling and happy life. I am an avid politico and am currently working at a...

...time in living memory. I also faced times when people shunned me due to their fear of harming me. As a result of my experience, I threw myself into making the world safer and more welcoming not only for people with food allergies, but for anyone who feels somehow different or isolated. I mentor younger students to let them know they're not alone, and I serve as a resource for school nurses to share my...

In my opinion, the path to obtaining a good education is formed by hard work, diligence, persistence, and an open mind. I work on a daily basis to instill these qualities in my students and tutees. I also believe that forming meaningful relationships with my students creates an environment in which learning is the goal. In my spare time, I...

...and peer or instructor interaction, is a primary goal. This engagement evolves into discussions where students connect the material to their experiences, enhancing understanding. Achieving this requires active facilitation, not just open discussion. Employing visual aids is one means to help students link information, recognize relationships, and build a lasting, analytical understanding, but it is far from the only means to do so. I work to design my approach to fit the student's needs and...

I also work at Party Princess Productions in Boston, where I've been smothered in face paint and sung every "Frozen" song in existence.
