...studying literature of all genres, I feel the most impactful literary experience is one that deeply resonates with the reader, and inspires them to write their own stories. This is why I am an advocate for detailed, creative, and personal essay writing.

In my tutoring, I strive to find literature or experiences which ignite...

...to succeed. I tailor lesson plans to different learning styles and abilities. With the extra attention I give, my students consistently tell me they have learned more than they ever thought possible for themselves.

I have flexible hours and diverse teaching and tutoring...

...would "hire" me to help their children, and so I started teaching material I had just learned myself. It was so much fun. After I got to college, I started working at the Mathematics Lab on campus where I tutored students in college level math ranging from College Algebra through Differential Equations.

As an engineering student, I am very familiar with high level math, physics, chemistry, and other STEM courses, as well as English, writing, and public speaking. I can use teaching methods demonstrated by my professors to teach others. In high school, I tutored younger students in Latin, using techniques like flashcards and quizzes.

...in my students, as independence is a crucial step to true understanding of subject material. I also try to teach concepts rather than questions, as being able to answer a question will answer just that-one question. Teaching to the concept will allow you to answer the question and all other questions that employ a similar strategy. I also advocate for showing work and repeating steps to synthesize the learning process after a problem has been...

...I tutored students in algebra, trigonometry, and calculus. In college, I continued to tutor students in these subjects. In graduate school, I served as a lab TA in which I taught students about electrical engineering and helped the students with their homework, labs, and projects.

One-on-one tutoring is an effective technique, particularly for explaining and modeling math, and I enjoy seeing students attitudes toward school brighten when they see immediate progress in their work. As a writing tutor, I like to focus on helping students find their authentic voice. Essays succeed when students strip away the extraneous material and present themselves and...

My experience has come in the form of private, one-on-one tutoring with students ranging in ages from 7th grade...

I find that my greatest happiness comes in the form of little victories such as a good grade on an exam, or making a friend laugh!

I've tutored and taught students both online and offline ever since I got my Bachelor's Degree, including during my time at JHU, in subjects ranging from basic arithmetic to differential equations.

In my observation, languages and writing skills are poorly taught in many schools, leaving students frustrated and unprepared for further learning. The improvement I see in my students, however, is immensely rewarding. With a little guidance, everyone has the ability not...
