When tutoring, I focus on creating a friendly and comfortable environment to enable...

...the student - if you really know something, you'll be able to teach it to anyone in any way! In that, I believe that the student has the right-of-way when it comes to learning, and so I plan to do everything in my power to help them learn material in the way that they are able to, so that they can then turn around and teach it back to me, or to others.

...on English as a Second Language. I am fluent in French and have an intermediate level in Spanish and Arabic.

...EBD), but I also got to teach some classes and help the general education students. The job was perfect for me! I recently moved to St. Paul, and I now want to become a full time tutor. What I really love about tutoring is the relationship that is formed between student and tutor. I like to really get to know a student so I can learn how to help him or her best. It is...

...tutoring style to each student because everyone learns differently! I have a passion for learning and education - and I am able to break down difficult concepts in an easy-to-understand manner.

I am a credentialed teacher and taught 3rd grade. I have also been a tutor for elementary and high school age students for many years. I have experience in tutoring most subjects. My goal is to help you / your child feel confident and successful in any subject we work on together.

I enjoy teaching math because to the student who doesn't understand, it is a riddle with no answer. By teaching them how to recognize the type of problem and how to decode the clues, the student gets to be on the other side of the riddle, the side on which they solve it and feel good about it.

...work with students and to facilitate their learning and school engagement. I have graduated recently enough to remember what school and class are like. It's an exciting time in life, but it can bring challenges too, at any level of education. That's why I'm here to collaborate with any students who can benefit from my tutoring. I hope to show clarity, professionalism, and respect in helping students master their work and continue to feel eager...

I have a deep respect for the process of learning. In my experiences as a learner and a teacher, I have seen how small strategies make a big difference, and I am excited to work with you to achieve something big, piece by piece.

...secondary levels. I have a natural talent for seeing subjects from the point of view of the student; I am not stuck in my own expertise.

...for the Society of Physics Students at UF. My main motivation for tutoring is simply that I love physics and math, and find them immensely beautiful. I want to share that love and illustrate concepts visually and intuitively rather than through mechanical computation.
