I earned my B.A. in Russian Language and Literacy with a Minor in Linguistics at the University of Michigan- Ann Arbor Honors College in 2009. I earned my M.A. in Speech-Language Pathology from Wayne State University in 2013. I have 3 years of experience working as a speech therapist with kindergarten through twelfth grade students, and I am passionate about helping students develop and master all aspects of literacy. I am used to working with students in one-on-one and group settings, and I have both classroom and pull-out experience. In a typical day, I help students to address many facets of their language and literacy, including vocabulary, writing, phonemic awareness, verbal organization, sentence structure, and reading comprehension. Additionally, I have advanced fluency in Russian and would be happy to offer tutoring services to beginning Russian learners or those looking for vacation Russian. Although the roles of a tutor and speech pathologist are different, I believe that my extensive instructional experience will make me an ideal tutor for you or your child.

I tutored at the Skidmore College Writing Center for two years, working collaboratively with a wide range of people and learning styles. I also took courses in tutoring, critical analysis of fiction and theory, and dramatic literature. My teaching philosophy is focused on a student's growth and increasing his or her ability to work independently. First I explain and discuss the information and strategies the student needs. Then I point out instances where the student can use the strategies (and guide the student through them if need be). Lastly, I back off a bit, allowing the student to use strategies on his or her own. In the Writing Center, this process has given students greater confidence as they internalize knowledge and become increasingly able to use it on their own. Since I also majored in Theater, I also enjoy stage acting, singing in a chorus, or even dancing!

I am an undergraduate student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I am currently working towards my Bachelor of Sciences in Environmental Science with a focus on quantitative energy systems and my Bachelor of Arts in Public Policy. In college, I volunteer with HYPE, Helping Youth by Providing Enrichment, which connects college students with their community through mentoring and tutoring. While in HYPE, I have tutored students in an elementary school in Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools. Through this experience, I was able to help the students grow by focusing on their individual needs and catering to their interests. I truly want to help students learn because I know the difference that individualized instruction can have on growth. Further, a simple change in phrasing or a different method for approaching a problem can greatly improve a student's understanding of the concepts they are learning. While I tutor a wide variety of subjects, I am particularly passionate about English, Science, and Government. These subjects have garnered my full interest because of their wide range of thought and conceptualization and I continue to broaden my education about them through college courses. I truly believe that every student can excel when given the attention and individualized help they need, and I hope that through tutoring I can provide this help. In my free time, I enjoy reading fiction novels and classics, playing board games with my sisters, and going on hikes.

I am a veteran college chemistry professor with a Ph.D. from Yale who has taught Organic Chemistry and General Chemistry I many times. I have also taught Introductory Chemistry to students who had never had chemistry before and also a General, Organic, and Biochemistry course for health professions. I look at chemistry as a set of skills to be learned, similar to learning a sport or a musical instrument. I can show you what to do, but to really learn you need to do things yourself.

As a writer who became established with years of practice, schooling, and personal growth, I know the pain that comes with writing. Having learned a great deal from some of the greatest writing professors, I know how to connect with other writers, relate to a topic at hand, and mold a piece into the best it can be.I have collaborated with fellow writers in peer reviews so much that I know and care about the work of others. I take joy in learning from the criticism of those at the same learning level as I am. The critique of a teacher versus that of a fellow student can often feel different. Having recently graduated from college, I can teach as though I am your classmate.Finding the smallest piece of relevancy in a topic makes it all the more easy to write and care about what you're writing. I know the struggle of writing in topics I have no interest in, and I know how it feels to really care. Your best writing shows when you take the time to reflect and build upon your ideas.I am a writer who looks forward to growing from my students, hoping that they learn too, from myself and about themselves!

For me, the best thing about tutoring is being able to teach the individual, rather than the group. Learning is about connecting new information to old information, and has to be based on the teacher understanding what the student already knows, and it's easier to develop this understanding when working with students individually. Tutoring is an opportunity to help students of all levels reach their full learning potential.

I am a graduate from Washington University in St. Louis with a degree in Biology. I have three younger siblings, so I have had experience helping children with their homework from a pretty young age. Throughout college I participated in several tutoring and mentorship programs, helping students who were behind in math and reading raise their test scores and grades. As an instructor I have worked with students in every age level in all kinds of academic subjects, from math and physics to brainstorming and re- drafting English essays, and am truly passionate about helping students achieve their potential.I specialize in biology, math and English for success in school or the SAT and ACT exams. With each student I encourage them to consider the problem in new ways and to think outside of their comfort zone. I believe that doing so is imperative to the learning process, whether we are working on a difficult problem or trying to begin a college essay.I am happy to travel to a location that is convenient for students, whether it be their home, library, or favorite coffee shop. I look forward to working with you or your family!

I am honored to have the opportunity to help young students expand their minds. I have a Bachelors Degree in English writing from Limestone College in Gaffney, SC, where I also played four years of NCAA Division 2 Men's Indoor Volleyball. Despite spending my college years there, I was born and raised in the town of Longwood in the lovely state of Florida. I spent the 2014-2015 school year teaching English 3 at Oak Ridge High School. I am an extremely effective overall English teacher, and am also able to offer a great deal in SAT/ACT preparation. Being a former student-athlete, as well as continuing my passion for playing, I understand the unique struggles that may cause, and am more than willing to give advise on how to effectively balance school and sports. I am not jut interested in teaching young students how to pass tests, but rather how to actually learn, expand the mind, and think critically for themselves. It is my personal goal not just to help you achieve the grade or mark goals that you want, but also to help create bright young adults.

I believe in the power of education.

I am studying Chemical Biology in UC Berkeley. One of my passions is Organic Chemistry, which I used to loath but now enjoys after taking a year of it. Also, because I like helping others, I enjoys tutoring/teaching students who are struggling. During high school, I have tutored other high students after school on various subjects such as Math, Physics, Chemistry, and Latin. During college, I have held informal review sessions for General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry for my underclassmen. I tutored my roommate and one of my underclassmen in Organic Chemistry. Finally, with a Graduate Student TA, I co-taught a Organic Chemistry Lab class section , where I answer questions regarding lab material and demonstrate lab techniques. Currently, I am interested in tutoring Organic Chemistry, General Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physics, and CalculusThere are three things I love about tutoring. First, tutoring allows me to solidify my mastery on the material I teach, as I believe one can learn more by explaining concepts to other people. This leads to the second thing l love, which is that tutoring helps me to practice my ability to explain concepts in a concise, easy-to-understand manner without leaving behind important details. Finally, I enjoy tutoring because the experience of helping others itself is fulfilling to me.
