...on a personal level so that they trust and respect me enough to engage in the subject I'm tutoring. I have no one method because each student's needs and solutions are unique. I've tutored students of all ages, from homework help for 3rd graders to ESL for adults. I particularly love tutoring students in French, Spanish, and Literary Arts, since those are my personal passions. In my free time, I like to take advantage of...

...most of my teacher training, i.e. worked as a teaching fellow. Every student has the potential to excel, but for whatever reason of stress or self-doubt, they do not succeed. I would like to help change student perspectives of their own mental capacity to succeed by showing them *simple*, but extremely effective, studying methods to begin mastery of any subject area. I tutor SAT/GRE test prep, as well as writing in general, biology, and French....

...music major, general math requirements were the bane of my existence. I had to retake classes and attend tutoring sessions myself. But eventually, I discovered how to tackle it, and down the road, chose to stick with the math and study Economics. All of this has taught me how to be patient and positive toward my students and taught me the importance of building up confidence through gradual improvement. But my life is not only...

Since then, I have worked with students as young as kindergarten all the way up to high school seniors.

...these experiences, I’ve learned the importance of forging a personal connection with students and seeing things from their point of view. Rather than delivering prepackaged information, I try to engage students in a dialogue: They tell me what they’re interested in, and what their favorite (and least favorite) aspects of school are. I use this information to create a personalized strategy to help them succeed. While I tutor a range of subjects, I'm most passionate...

...the past 4 years, and have taught everything from grade school grammar and writing, to SAT and TOEFL for ESL students (especially Korean-speaking students). At college I was a founder of 'The Writer's Den', a group that taught English grammar and creative writing to inner-city students. We began in Compton, before later branching out to Canoga Park and getting recognized as an official organization by UCLA. Additionally, I help tutor in mathematics and science for...

Since high school, I had a penchant for breaking down seemingly complex material into digestible bits of information that were absorbed and retained by my students.

My students achieve significant improvements in their grades and test scores (several have also been offered admission to elite universities). Depending on your educational...

I believe that we all construct our own knowledge through experience - we learn by doing, by experimenting, trying, and experiencing - and I encourage my students to try out and adjust their own strategies, instead of always expecting them to do it my way. I am an artist, writer and musician (I led a folk band for 5 years). I am an avid public transit rider and often get around by bicycle. I...
