I look forward to helping more children learn how to read!

...-- but I wasn't born that way! I grew up in California and my previous career was in both the music and film industries. This gives me the ability to teach while integrating pop culture, movies, TV, music (and maybe even humor?), making the subject matter a LOT more accessible, understandable and yes, in some cases, even enjoyable! I've been teaching all levels of history/social studies for over 20 years (middle and high school), as...

...school students for a public school system, as well as, experience teaching game design to ages 10-17 at a computer camp this past summer. My favorite thing to teach is game design because that is what I am most passionate about but I also enjoy teaching in general.

...math because it requires endurance and hard work, but gives the best feeling once mastered. Aside from being a certified secondary school social studies teacher, I have the benefit of a unique college education. Both my bachelor's degrees were interdisciplinary and allowed me to take classes across the social sciences and humanities: anthropology, history, English, political science, sociology, philosophy, economics, geography, etc. I did not learn strictly history. Rather, I learned how to question history...

...all learners love. I am curious and eager to learn from the students as much as they are. I think bringing the perspective of a student to tutor other students (although at a different stage) allows for more of a connection to be formed and perhaps can help facilitate the ease of understanding topics.

...16 year home school veteran, I have taught every grade K-12 and lead my own four children through every core academic subject. It is especially rewarding to help students grasp that academic subjects really do matter in real life. There is something wonderful about every age group but I must admit elementary students are my favorite. Likewise, I am good at Math, Essay Writing, and Government, but Language Arts is my favorite subject to teach.

...math but am very good at English composition and writing. Each student learns and understands differently, so I prioritize teaching in a way that suits them. That philosophy can apply to their learning style but also their lifestyle. I've found that this comprehensive approach helps students feel less intimidated and allows them to build confidence as they tackle challenging material. The process of breaking down complex concepts, improving students' performance, and self-assurance is why I...
