Hi- I'm Justin. I'm am currently a student at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota. I love school, love learning want to help people to achieve their learning goals. I like studying film, politics, and am an avid reader of the Washington Post and New York Times.

I am a recent graduate of Georgetown University. I majored in Mandarin Chinese, and minored in Justice and Peace Studies. I see myself as a self-directed and intrinsically motivated lifelong learner. I hope to work with students to broaden their learning strategies and help them save time by learning to study smarter, not harder. When I'm not tutoring, I enjoy going on long bike rides, sipping tea, watching Chinese movies, and listening to live music.

I've spent the past 5 years working as an engineer for a building products company, and I graduated from the University of Minnesota with a BS in Bioproducts and Biosystems Engineering in 2013. My focus is STEM subjects, but I am also proficient in English composition. I look forward to getting to know new students and tailoring a tutoring program to meet their individual needs.

...subjects that I am really good with are: study skills and organization, elementary school math and reading as well as using the Office products, like Word and PowerPoint. In my free time when I am not studying or tutoring, I love to spend time with family and friends, running, dancing or baking. My family has named me the "family baker." My favorite thing to bake is double chocolate cupcakes. Tutoring can be intimidating. Sometimes a...

I can help you with almost any writing assignment or reading comprehension! I am also familiar with AP history and literature exams and basic Spanish language if you need help in these subjects! My recent research foci are related to Indian politics, housing, governance, and citizenship!

...their abilities to learn and improve, even in areas they may have thought they weren't particularly interested in or good at. I enjoy tutoring many subjects in the social sciences such as U.S. and World History, Psychology, and Political Science, as well as test prep for ACT and SAT. My favorite part of tutoring is watching students make breakthroughs in areas that previously were a struggle. My teaching style is very student-oriented and participatory, allowing...

...My favorite books are The Kitchen House, The Kite Runner, and The Book of Ruth. I am currently reading 12 Years a Slave and am loving it! I like to shop at thrift stores, Forever 21, and Target. Over the summer, I went to South Dakota with my partner to camp in the Badlands and the Black Hills! It was a wonderful time to discover we are not the camping type. I'm looking forward to...

...Classics at Ohio State University, graduating summa cum laude with research distinction in Classics in 2010. Following my graduation from Ohio State, I began the Classics Ph.D. program at UCLA. Seven years later, in 2017, I graduated from UCLA with a dissertation on Alexander the Great, the original source of my interest in Classics. Now, with graduate school behind me, I hope to find work that will allow me to continue to share my passion...

Friendly, low-pressure teacher with a passion for languages and helping others. Experience teaching beginning to intermediate ESL (English as a Second Language), as well as beginning to early intermediate German and Spanish.

A good tutor is someone who understands your learning needs and desires, and adapts their teaching style to meet those needs. Learning should be an interactive process, with the tutor and the one being tutored offering equal conversation and interacting in meaningful ways together. The best tutors are able to balance the need for specific content mastery and the desire to instill a love for learning as a general concept.

I'm an English Literature Major and Creative Writing Minor. My strengths are essay writing, college-level reading and writing, GRE verbal/analytical writing prep, and conversational Spanish. I believe that tutoring should be collaborative and that the tutor and client need to work together for the client's success. I also believe that all tutoring should build upon previous knowledge. I look forward to working with you!

As a tutor, I strive to put scaffolding in place so that students can succeed on their own. That means my approach adapts to a student's individual strengths, interests, and goals. I have a deep respect for the process of learning. In my experiences as a learner and a teacher, I have seen how small strategies make a big difference, and I am excited to work with you to achieve something big, piece by piece.

Having tutored for over two years, I take pride in my ability to meet students where they are in their understanding and present material in ways that are tailored to each student. I'm an extremely patient and determined tutor and my number one objective is the success of the student. I specialize in organic chemistry and calculus and look forward to meeting you!

...and to facilitate their learning and school engagement. I have graduated recently enough to remember what school and class are like. It's an exciting time in life, but it can bring challenges too, at any level of education. That's why I'm here to collaborate with any students who can benefit from my tutoring. I hope to show clarity, professionalism, and respect in helping students master their work and continue to feel eager about learning.

...a matter of explaining things different ways until one of them sticks. The abstractness and hierarchical nature of math is a challenge for tutor and student alike, but it is also one of the most satisfying to work on. I obtained a 36 on the ACT Science section, and helped many students do the same. The key to the science section is that it's not really about science knowledge -- it's about the ability to quickly...

...at the University of Minnesota and just finished teaching writing for an ESL college-preparatory program for incoming international students at the University of MN, Morris. I am thankful for the wealth of different teaching experiences that I have had, and each one has led me to grow as a teacher and an individual.
