...years at a large law firm in Washington, D.C., primarily representing television stations. I also speak German, having learned it as a high school exchange student, majored in it in college, and having spent a summer working in a Berlin law office. As much as I love the law--and I really do!--I also love teaching. I recently spent a semester teaching as an Adjunct Professor of Law at a law school; that experience confirmed for...

...tutoring, substitute teaching, and I am currently teaching high school math in New York. My knowledge of mathematics comes from an interest in the social science research, a field I pursued in college and may return to in the future. I can also provide tutoring in French at every proficiency level, as I grew up in a French-speaking household in central Maine. My teaching style is relaxed and flexible. I am comfortable adjusting my plans...

...studying as a platform to give students the skills and self-confidence to become self-reliant, lifelong learners. While tangible results and mastery of the material are central goals, it is just as important to me that students grow as learners through the tutoring process. For this reason, I approach tutoring as a dialogue. Students can expect sessions to be a joint investigation of the material, not as a list of facts to memorize but as a...

...the potential of each student. Creativity is essential for the learning of any discipline and especially for the inspiration that emerges when the human mind stretches beyond its normal limits to embrace an idea or a solution. I very much enjoy engaging with the students in the process of learning new things in different and creative ways. During a tutoring session, I observe how the student is processing information and how he/she engages with the...

...in high school was spent living with a host family in Clermont-Ferrand, France, and I also spent a semester studying at La Sorbonne in college. I thus have a strong linguistic and cultural connection with France and Germany due to my time living and studying there. Regarding my teaching philosophy, I have always been an experiential learner, so I understand that not everyone learns traditionally, and I like bringing in cultural and anecdotal connections when...

I recently moved from Potsdam, Germany to New Haven, CT. I grew up and studied environmental sciences in Germany, worked and traveled a lot internationally and have taught languages and science at the university and non-academic level. I enjoy teaching and I particularly enjoy supporting students who want to learn my beautiful but sometimes just a little too confusing language. ... Using a language is the best way to learn. With me you will be talking a lot!

I have always been a passionate learner and I love encouraging the students that I work with to have that...

While I tutor many subjects, I am most passionate about Math, German, and standardized test prep. I believe we learn the best (and the most) when we can have fun, and I look for ways to engage students with material - especially Math - in fun and...

...I served for three years as a co-instructor, a writing center tutor, and by leading one-on-one tutorial courses, helping hundreds of students develop and polish their essay writing skills across subjects. I have additionally worked in after-school childcare (K-5) and as a camp counselor. What this means is that, for a diverse range of age groups, I know how to help students identify their needs and hone the skills to excel on their own.... The bottom line is that students learn when they know they can. My goal has always been to help others find what they're capable of--and didn't know they were capable of--and provide the best tools to reach their goals.
