...I share this outlook on learning with my students by creating an engaging and gratifying environment conducive to the learning style of the individual with whom I am working.

...also given me the opportunity to work with native Spanish speakers in other academic subjects. I bring a compassionate and collaborative approach to teaching. I strongly believe that a tutor must treat his or her student as a teammate and not as someone who merely needs instruction. The goal of any tutoring session should be to bring out and foster a student's own capacity to understand and excel in a given field, which begins with...

...Additionally, I have helped students develop close reading strategies across the humanities, particularly in the area of U.S. History, one of my personal favorite subjects. My approach to tutoring tends to revolve around questions; I often begin sessions simply by having the student describe what it is they wish to gain from the time we have and then changing our focus accordingly.

...of a good paper, then he or she can start to play with the rules and flow of the paper to make the it his or her own. It is critically important to me that the tutee feels, whatever the subject is, the paper is written in their voice. One strategy I use with every tutee is to have them read the paper aloud. This not only helps with sentence structure and syntax but also...

Teaching is a special calling. As educators, we can, and should, apply all of our knowledge and skills to positively affect students' lives for the rest of their lives. A good teacher, at every turn, continually endeavors to augment his/her pedagogy; yielding students knowledge, well-roundedness, a positive personal image, happiness, quality of life, and good citizenship. A good teacher's day never ends. Once a teacher, always a teacher.
