...a Master in Business Administration later. I am excited about tutoring German and/or European History, either online or in person. I did this a lot back in Europe and worked very successfully with students. My last student was my own son whom I tutored from 2012-2016 in German so he does not lose it. In my "real" life job I am an Executive Assistant. I am a well organized person with a passion to pass...

...other in Philosophy. After my undergrad, I decided to work and study abroad in Barcelona, Spain, where I obtained my Trinity CertTSOL certificate for ESL teaching. It was overseas working with people of so many different backgrounds that I grew to love language learning in general, and teaching English in particular. I am passionate about education, and I strive to impart that passion onto my students, whether they are taking lessons for casual conversation skills...

...and World History. My favorite areas are writing and Mandarin subjects, where I've witnessed transformative breakthroughs. Writing allows students to articulate their voices, while Mandarin opens doors to cultural understanding, a skill I have been honored for through an award for academic excellence in the study of the language.

...7 minutes! My main goal is not only to help my student understand the material, but also to help him/her be confident in his/her work. I want every student to firmly believe that he/she can do anything, simply because it's true. Through their education they may do anything in the world, they need only to try hard enough. I don't want students to give up on their education or even themselves because "it's too hard"...

...brings out my favorite elements of being human: face-to-face relationships and unbridled love for a given subject of inquiry. Whether it is reviewing for a vocabulary quiz, crafting a professional-quality essay, or delving into distinct religious or philosophical questions, I am here to offer curious students an engaging, considerate, and supplemental academic presence. I teach at the student's pace, rather than imposing my own agenda. I aim to teach each student as though they are...

...more interested in teaching after working as an assistant English teacher for a Queens-based nonprofit that helps formerly incarcerated juveniles and adults secure a GED. After college I moved to Los Angeles and taught middle school math for Young Eisner Scholars, an organization that helps prepare gifted students from South Los Angeles for elite high schools and colleges.

...I work at MIT in the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research. My current project is focused on developing immunotherapies to treat early stage tumors. Both in the classroom and in lab, I have always been more than willing to help others with their assignments or troubleshooting an equipment problem.

Working with students exposed me to various styles - visual, audio, interactive and many more types of teaching.

Currently, I...

As a...

...graduate school, my best experiences have been those where respect was shown to me as a student. From that respect, my confidence was allowed to grow and self respect for my own growing abilities flourished as well. Only then did I come to understand that taking a programmed approach to students was not the key to success. Seeing each student as the unique person they are means that I have needed to teach with that...

As an instructor, I believe that mastery is best served when students can find their stride. A tutor, or any instructor for that matter, should not only clarify difficult concepts, but help encourage an interest in the subject studied overall. Finding the best way to develop that interest begins with determining how best to grapple with difficulties. In so doing, I hope to spur students to a larger, surer understanding of the subjects they study.
