fun, outgoing tutor, constantly considering the needs and personalities of my students, in order to empathize with them and customize their experience.

I find visual, real-life anecdotes help get concepts across to students. Patience...

I believe that people can learn anything if they work hard enough and have a good teacher.

...where I've learned and taught. Yet my chief qualification isn't a piece of paper, or even an experience, but a genuine love of learning and an ability to inspire others with that same enthusiasm. I can tutor any number of things given my wide ranging background, but my chief areas of expertise are in the political, historical and Classical realms as well as in test-taking and writing. In my free time I like eating an...

Any material can be captivating depending on its presentation and understanding its application to our daily lives and place in the world around us. I believe that successful tutoring happens when a dialogue takes place. I won't hold your hand through a problem, instead opting to ask pertinent questions which guide you in the right direction so...

I've always loved languages and writing. Being a tutor is one of the most fun ways I can put together the things that I love-people and language.... In a first session, I would get to know my student a bit and spend some time reviewing what he or she knows about the subject. By doing this, we can find what is really great and what we can improve.... It's always okay to ask for help as...

I strongly believe that, teaching a student the "why" of something is far more important than simple memorization; it is this understanding of the material that helps the student apply the theory to a completely different fact pattern.

I also love to write. I wrote a romance novel two years ago and I asked my family...
