I have been blessed with the gift of intelligence, an endless drive for curiosity, and a strong desire to make a positive impact on our world.

...years of experience working in formal education including day-to-day substituting in Brookline and long-term class coverage in Boston, as well as experience in private, non-essential education (teaching with Education First in Quito, Ecuador). While I very much enjoy classroom teaching, the one-to-one or small-group teaching I did with Education First is something that I found to be most rewarding. Really being able to form close relationships with a small number of students and helping them...

...my time doing volunteer work, private tutoring and teaching in public schools in New York City, but have also traveled as far as Thailand to follow my passion. I am a firm believer in the fact that every child can learn and that helping each child to do so is a combination team effort including himself and the educators and care takers in their lives. I like to encourage children to be unique and well...

...and learn something new every day, and I hope I can inspire a love of learning in each of my students. This is practical. Finding the beauty in a particular concept, realizing its elegance, makes understanding difficult material not only enjoyable but also a little easier. In each session, I encourage open communication about any difficulties my students have with the day's material. Students must feel comfortable enough to express when they don't understand a...

...Biochemistry, as well as minoring in English. For years, I have tutored high school students in preparation for New York State Regents Exams, as well as elementary school and middle school students, mainly in English, Mathematics, and Biology. I enjoy exposing students to different learning techniques to allow them to discover their unique learning style. I find that this is especially important for younger students, who benefit from visuals, hands-on interaction, and interesting analogies. Thus,...

...arguments, organization, and phrasing. I peer edited as well as volunteering with groups that mentored high school students, focusing on college admissions work, continuing and expanding my experiences from high school of tutoring for standardized testing. Additionally, I taught beginning violin to younger children. I like to tutor basic math, as helping students understand the basic concepts and learn to apply them by themselves is very rewarding--give a man a fish and he'll eat for...

...eclectic education covering everything from math to fine arts. I've won awards in community service, dance, and film, but most notably, 20 writing prizes before I reached eighteen.

I am also a mom of 5 amazing kids, and I am just about finished with my PhD in English Literature. I'm only interested in online sessions at the moment. I look forward to working with you!

...and German and most love teaching a new language because it's exciting and fun. My favorite thing about tutoring is helping a student figure out how to do things by himself/herself. It's super rewarding! I am an excellent tutor because I am enthusiastic and generous. I do not punish mistakes, but try to encourage the development of good study habits, rather than just feeding answers. With writing, I believe it is most important to give...

...right now, teaching has always been a passion of mine, especially if I could assist those in need of subjects that I feel like I could spread knowledge in. These include Algebra, Calculus, Trigonometry, as well as middle school math. Throughout my years in high school, I tutored ESL students who sought help in understanding the English language, as well as mathematical concepts. I think the learning process is a beautiful one and I would...

...involved in tutoring. I was originally a business major and while taking a business calculus class I found my passion in education. Some of my classmates struggled with the content and the concepts were fairly easy for me to grasp. After I helped my classmates, I felt such joy in the fact that I was helping someone in their life. From there I started to help my friends and eventually I change my major from...

...general chemistry, organic chemistry, and physics, often employing diagrams and visual aids in my teaching. In addition, since high school, I have always been someone that friends entrust to look over and critique their papers before they submit final drafts. My teaching style features visual learning, mnemonics, and hierarchical organization of material. I find that hierarchically cataloguing information by topic and sub-topic helps students retain material, as students are not simply memorizing, but are understanding...

...two important passions of mine, and I enjoy analyzing a great book as much as I enjoy writing an extremely strong piece myself. When it comes to tutoring I have been told by many clients in the past that I bring a unique level of positive energy and dedication to the table, as I am an incredibly social and energetic person that prides myself in getting the best out of every one of my students....
