...helped me establish rapport with my students, as they were pleased that I knew something about their native countries. Many of my students of English as a Second Language had to take the SAT exam, so I branched out into tutoring for that test as well as other standardized tests. I know those tests are challenging, but I have helped quite a number of students improve their scores. Outside of teaching, my interests include classical...

...for over eight years. I have also taught Spanish for business for small groups of professionals and tutored children. I concentrate on developing fluency, not in grammar. Grammar is a tool, and not the end, when learning a language. All elements of grammar a students need to succeed at school will be covered, but we will take it a step further. You will not only understand how the subjunctive works, but you will also learn...

...love to learn, and hope to do so for my whole life). I am also outdoorsy, and I love to hike and backpack, as well as horseback ride (used to compete in hunter-jumpers, now somewhat limited but I ride when I can).

...in SAT and ACT test prep and math, science, history, and other subjects at the high school level. Beyond just helping improve students standardized test scores, I strive to inspire students to be confident, lifelong learners by getting to know what drives them individually and connecting this to their broader professional plans. The most rewarding aspect of tutoring for me is seeing my tutees understand something for the first time, and as a future teacher,...

...my strategies: -- Each test is a game, treat it like one! All games have rules. There are free points on every test that can be won by just knowing these rules! -- Study smarter, not longer. Once we know the rules, we can apply them to make our study hours more effective. Fewer hours spent cramming and better scores! -- Relax! Being anxious about your grade doesn't help you take the test. I know...

I hope to sow...

...teaching an understanding of the subject instead of just pure memorization, because I think that is the best way to actually learn and remember. Some things that I am interested in outside of academia include hiking, traveling to new places, trying out new restaurants, reading, playing the piano, and solving puzzles. I love meeting and helping people, and I think even as a tutor, I can learn a lot from the tutees. I look forward...
