...To a 6th grader, the thought of algebra was so frightening and intimidating that any reasoning disintegrated. So, we followed the mantra Algebra is not magic, reminding the student in times when she faltered that she can think through a math problem. As long as she felt grounded enough to access her innate understanding of the world around us, she progressed. Later on, my extensive experience in the classroom as a Jumpstart Corps Member taught...

...learn about others, as well as oneself. In the last five months that I have been tutoring, I have developed so much, all thanks to the many students with whom I have worked. Each person encountered has provided me with a new perspective for viewing material and life itself. In the modern world, where education holds sway to life itself, I am honored to be able to help others reach their academic goals. To that...

I want to show my students the joy of learning, as cliche as that might sound. I guess this stems from my own love of learning, but tutoring lets me share this love in a one-on-one, individual scenario. Seeing as my desired career is to be a college professor, tutoring allows me to get an early edge on my teaching skills as well.

...do a lot of it during my quarter-century on this planetRussia, all over Europe, the Middle East, Venezuela, Mexico, India, and pretty much every state in this country.

In addition, I worked as both a peer advisor and teaching assistant, which gives me insight into the learning strategies and study skills that students need to succeed. As a tutor, I like to focus on doing actual problems with students because it is the most effective way to immediately identify their strengths and weaknesses and to address them. In my free time, I like...

...national and societal levels, and I enjoy teaching this point of view to students, helping them to see history as a living, deeply relevant subject matter. My teaching philosophy can be summed in three words: never sit still. I don't see learning as a static process, whereby a student studies for a test, passes it, then lets the information slip away. Rather, I believe the student should be truly hungry to absorb the material, to...

Furthermore, I am committed to both presenting and assessing content knowledge and skills in a fashion that is as authentic as possible - be that through utilizing practice problems and essay prompts analogous to those found on standardized tests, or primary documents in the study of European History - to ensure that my students' understanding of topics and demonstration of abilities is as genuinely useful as possible. I've talked quite enough, but I'll quickly...

..."office hours" available in order to help students that are struggling. Tutoring students can be very simple and sometimes very complicated, but I always look for ways to make analogies to things students feel more comfortable with so it doesn't seem like I'm speaking a foreign language to them.
