Learning a language should be fun and enjoyable. This should not only include learning how to speak, read, and write, but also ways of thinking, communicating and expressing oneself. Let the doors be open!... It will be based on the student's needs; each individual is unique and learns differently, and my teaching style changes from student to student. To listen more, to feel more and to respond to student's strength and weakness are my big focus; to find the "teacher" within themselves is my primary goal. I don't teach the subject; I teach the way to learn and to think.

...during my college career, and have a great familiarity with history and philosophy as well. I'm really passionate about these subjects, and hopefully, working with me, you'll find a a bit (or a lot!) of passion in them yourself. I have a fair amount of previous experience, having tutored English in Beijing for 9 months in 2012-2013.

I would like to help change student perspectives of their own mental capacity to succeed by showing them *simple*, but extremely effective, studying methods to begin mastery of any subject area. I tutor SAT/GRE test prep, as well as writing in general, biology, and French. However, my favorite subject to teach is ecology because I am passionate about environmental/ecosystem stability and would ultimately love...

The learning experience is not only found in a classroom. Outside of the 4 walls, people are constantly learning and experiencing the real life. My goal is to help students understand concepts that can and many times will be applied to life and their passions. ... Every student learns different. Some are verbal, some like analogies, and others have their own special way of understanding materials. If the "standard" education way does not make sense to a child, we need to change it up to help. It doesn't matter how a student gets from point A to point B, as long as they get there.
