I fell in love with reading and writing in my high school English classes. It was because of the teachers. Most of them graduated from Saint Joseph's College , and knowing early on that I wanted to be a teacher like them some day, I eventually graduated from there too with a Bachelors of Arts in Secondary Education with a focus on English. Saint...... Learning is a two-way street that is shared by both student and...

Another student over the course of a year went from failing math to getting an A-....

...school I spent a semester shadowing a local high school teacher and aiding students in a one-on-one environment with a variety of tasks within their English curriculum. As English was my major, it is certainly my passion, but I also love a variety of other subjects, especially math and standardized testing. As a teacher during the week I understand the importance of making conceptual connections as a student rather than memorizing facts and strategies.

...my students gain a deep understanding of the works they read and communicate their ideas effectively and eloquently in writing. My background in ESL has also given me a meticulous understanding of English grammar. As you might guess, my favorite hobby besides reading and writing is traveling.

...AP classes (U.S. history, art history, U.S. government, English, environmental science, as well as a college-level Italian course through Syracuse University). I continued to study Italian throughout college, culminating in an eight-month study abroad program in Florence and Milan, so I can assist students struggling with beginner to advanced Italian. My rigorous liberal arts education at Barnard has equipped me with excellent research, writing, and study skills, and I can be an invaluable resource to...

...taking college courses at Stanford, and helped high school seniors with their college applications. At this point, most of my teaching is through helping friends with classes.

I believe in the power of self-confidence and motivation. Feeling supported by your tutor and believing you can do it are basic foundations to build your...... If your...

...students from grades 6-12 at the Vasant Valley School in New Delhi, India. At Vasant Valley, I taught over a hundred students about the fundamental components of English-language poetry and introduced them to select poems from several British and American poetic movements. I also helped students strengthen their writing skills through imitation writing exercises. Additionally, I tutored several students outside of class both at Vasant Valley and in southern Lebanon. Through these experiences, I learned...

...time, my passion for the subjects I teach is contagious and I love to see my students get excited about a subject they previously thought was too challenging, dry, or boring. I like to make the material come alive. For example, when I teach biology, I love to interweave real life examples of how a scientific principle can be seen in nature or in our bodies. I graduated from Barnard College, Columbia University majoring in...
