Education is my passion. I love learning and sharing that learning with others! I have had the good fortune to study abroad briefly in Spain and France as well as teach English in South Korea. I have tutored previously and look forward to continuing here. Whether you are exploring the structure of the human brain, the French language, or places past and present, I am here to help. ... Learning a subject comes from passion. Passion...

I am a graduate student studying Clinical Psychology, with a passion for helping others. I taught English abroad in china for 5 months, as well as helped special need kiddos for a school semester. I graduated with honors from my undergraduate institution with a degree in Psychology, and minors in History and Chinese. Whenever I teach students, I try to focus first on having fun and learning to love the material, and then on accuracy.

...pursuing a graduate degree in neuroscience. I have always been drawn to tutoring and mentorship roles, beginning when I joined my high school's Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) program as a peer tutor. Currently, I tutor other students at my college in Writing and Humanities through my college's Academic Support Center. I love helping students feel more comfortable with all aspects of the writing process, including brainstorming ideas, creating strong arguments, and outlining/revising written assignments....

...educator who has worked with children for the past seven years. I have a connection to children and learning. I am well versed in all Language Arts and Math.

...a topic with which they may be struggling. Overall, my exceptional academic abilities, combined with my experience instructing young learners, make me an outstanding tutor. My general tutoring philosophy is to allow the student to be as hands-on as possible in the learning process. Psychology shows that learning is much more efficient if you exercise your own neural pathways through doing (rather than watching). I excel in tutoring Elementary/Middle-School level Science and Math, Biology, Psychology,...

...those with test anxiety, concentration issues (such as those related to ADHD), and other mental or health concerns. One of my greatest strengths as a tutor and a teacher is helping students develop the skills to support inner well-being.

...studying "the self." Ever since I was a child, I have had a passion for the learning process. I enjoy learning new things, getting better at them, and helping others to learn as well. My work as a swim instructor for recalcitrant kiddos, behavioral specialist with young adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities, and adult men in psycho-educational groups have taught me that people learn best when they are intrinsically motivated and feel that they...

...their lives. This requires me to get to know my students, their likes and dislikes. I believe students should be respected for who they are and not belittled. I don't believe anyone should be forced to conform to a system arbitrarily or unnecessarily. It is okay not to fit inside a box. Students should be welcomed into learning, rather than cut down for what they don't know. If learning is presented as a grand opportunity,...

...harmony in fostering optimal learning gains. To achieve these gains, my lessons are geared toward addressing a broad range of student abilities. In preparing students to take the TOEFL exam during 3 years of teaching in the former Soviet Union and 9 years in Japan, I have implemented a learner-centered needs analysis which identifies proficiency levels. After determining individual fluency-literacy and individual learning style preferences, I have used a prescriptive approach of teaching comprehensible input...

...plan of where they want to be and how "we" are going to get the student there! Keep in mind I always think education is a team effort, we all do our part to help students achieve their goals. In many cases some students may just need a bit of help to succeed in a class. In other cases, a student may really be struggling and need an exceptional amount of help. In either case,...

...success. My teaching philosophy centers around creating a student-centered environment that fosters growth mindsets, critical thinking, and cultural responsiveness. I believe in the importance of community building, where students feel safe, supported, and challenged to reach their full potential. My tutoring style is interactive and tailored to meet the unique needs of each student, incorporating differentiation techniques to support English Learners, special education students, and those requiring additional academic and behavioral support.

...the SAT began when I got the highest SAT score in my school district when I was a junior (without tutoring, even!). I started tutoring the Verbal side of the SAT in Los Angeles in 1999. Then I branched out into the SAT Math and then into academic tutoring in many subject areas. I was tutoring celebrity kids in Malibu mostly at that time. Since then, I've tutored students from 1st grade to college in...

I bring with me a sensitive and nurturing cultural awareness to all my tutoring and teaching requirements. I am passionate about teaching...

...intuitively understand as I do that learning should be fun and that few great things are accomplished without a laugh or two along the way; ultimately, however, it is about learning and personal growth, and nothing I have ever done professionally comes close to the satisfaction I feel when a student describes a goal, works toward that goal, and then achieves it. I believe passionately in the power of learning to bring understanding, happiness and...
