Up to freshman year in college, I had only studied Latin and hadn't experienced applying language beyond translation and reading. I majored in Mandarin, minored in Turkish and have been exploring other languages ever since. Learning language became the segue for teaching it when I went to Taiwan for work and academics. Upon returning to the USA, I got a job with a company...

Not everyone learns the same way, so it is important for a tutor to be able...

...I've found that people learn best when the topic is of interest, and I think it's always possible to individualize a lesson if you truly know your student. From my experiences working with young children as well as with older students, the most effective approach is striking the balance between structure/hard work and fun, as the second is often a motivator for the first. I like to laugh hard and often, and I like for...
