I have experience tutoring at all levels, and one of my primary focus is to incorporate dialogic discourse into all of my tutoring sessions. This is a special type of teaching philosophy which focuses on allowing students to reach the answers rather than just showing them the right solution. I believe that a combination of dialogic discourse, critical thinking, and interest is necessary to truly understand a subject well.

...Tutors student myself, I can confidently say that our services not only allow students to be proud of what they can achieve (for myself it was an SAT score and college admissions essays) but also who they are.

I am a passionate learner of developmental and abnormal psychology,...

...subjects I have always loved. Oftentimes I find that my students just haven't found the right books, genres, or authors, and once they do, they realize they love reading. Reading is an extraordinary way to effortlessly improve vocabulary, grammar, and overall knowledge of history, current events, etc. Similarly, I've worked with so many students who think they just aren't good at writing, or they hate writing. Sometimes this is because they see themselves as "math...

...love for tutoring when I was a tutor for the athletics department. I tutor many subjects, including math, science, and writing (my personal favorite).

I cook, read, work out, or explore my city's art scene during my downtime. I can't wait to work with you and cheer...

I'm a Yale graduate two years out of school. I've got both a knack for English and the humanities as well as a quick mind for mathematics and rigorous logical thinking. I'm a writer by trade and regularly publish journalism and fiction in online magazines. In my free time, I dance blues and occasionally pick up a billiard cue.

Learning isn't always easy; in fact it's often uncomfortable. This means it's possible to find meaning even in classes we hate or the ones we think we are bad at. For this reason, I hope to work with learners who might be uncertain about their interests and futures.

At the core, I love learning and find it fun. In teaching, I try to convey that sense of fun to my students. I use a variety of techniques depending on my student's learning style, but I always focus on the fun of learning new things.... In a first session with a student, I would introduce the basic concepts and core questions of the subject, and determine my student's learning style in order to plan future...

...Boston College. Before I moved to Boston, I lived in Texas, North Carolina, and California. I have taught education and research classes at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and I have served my community as a writing tutor for students at different stages.

Additionally, I helped graduate students write their term papers by helping them shape their ideas into coherent narratives....

...over 10 years of experience in taking and helping others sit for standardized and college exams. I have also tutored medical school courses at Harvard Medical School. I know what it's like to encounter a difficult subject, and the frustration with having to study for a particular exam, or for a course that is uninteresting but a prerequisite, which is why I have developed methods over the years to effectively study the material while enjoying...

...English language acquisition, reading, writing, and test preparation, I saw that these subjects overlap and correlate rather than exist as isolated categories possessing separate skill-sets. My teaching experience in Asia, North and South America has been enhanced by an exposure to different perspectives on teaching, learning, and socio-cultural dynamics. Encountering learning styles and customs from China, Mexico, the Middle East, and the U.S. encouraged both my communication and teaching styles to become flexible, student-centered, and...
