...child may need or want assistance. I am most comfortable with History, particularly World History (ancient through modern) and US History (I admit that political history between 1820 and 1850 is not my favorite subject, but I know it!). I speak four languages beyond English, in varying degrees (French, German, Arabic, Hebrew). My graduate training in History focused on Middle Eastern History and Cold War History (especially the nuclear arms race); in college, I minored...

...I am associated with the Center for Values in Medicine, Science,and Technology at UTD. This has provided me with exposure to ethical components of the sciences that do not receive enough discussion or attention. If I had to select an area of inquiry that is the most exciting it would be where the Humanities and Natural Sciences merge. I am thrilled to be constantly adding interdisciplinary approaches to my toolkit whether the discipline is history,...

...are key in maximizing instructional time and keeping students on task. I am continually looking for creative, new ways to have my lessons set up and to help my students learn. I also believe in teaching content that is meaningful, applicable, and inviting to students. With every lesson I teach, students are given very explicit examples of how the information they are learning that day will help them in their every day lives as they...

...helping students of all ages improve all different aspects of their writing. As I loved tutoring others so much, I began to tutor professionally, working with students from kindergarten to graduate school. Writing, Reading, Grammar and Elementary Math are the cornerstones of a solid education, an education that leads our upcoming generations to success. In my freetime, my husband and I enjoy spending time with our dogs, exploring the city of Boston, traveling New England...

I have worked for three years in writing intensive courses at the undergraduate and graduate level, and have also helped lead writing workshops for middle and high school students. I enjoy working with students from a wide variety of age levels and educational backgrounds. While the rules governing grammar, usage, and essay construction may appear challenging for many, I believe that, with effort and guidance, anyone can...

...Political Theory from the University of Puget Sound. During college, I tutored high school students for four years. After college, I worked for three years as a college instructor and debate coach at two universities in Washington state. My teaching philosophy is based primarily on my 11 years of debate experience as a competitor and coach. My goal is to find the right way to communicate any concept to you. My approach is calm and...

...scary. Science can be fun and interesting. Let me help you navigate the world of Biology and Chemistry. I have loved Science since I was a child (a really long time ago), but I know it can sometimes be a challenge. I can help you with your work in a fun, friendly way. I also love music and sports in addition to Science. For my hobbies I rock climb, row crew, play golf, and I...

...that works for both student and teacher. Some students are visual learners, others are verbal, and the best way for a student to truly learn something is to find the perfect medium. Most importantly, I try to make learning as enjoyable as possible (laughter is key). Once a student has shown mastery -- whether it be through the ability to reteach others, such as myself, or otherwise -- that’s when I know they have acquired...

...passion for teaching. I am currently enrolled in Vanderbilt University where I am studying Elementary Education as well as European History. I love working with students, and I intend to make a career out of it. I have experience working with students in different contexts, from the dance studio to the classroom and across age groups. I have worked in an academic setting with students age three through seventeen, and I have tutored as a...

...worked as a writing tutor both at Connecticut College and at the US Coast Guard Academy. As a writing tutor, I assisted students with all stages from the writing process, from brainstorming and drafting, to research strategies and proper citation techniques. By working for two very different universities, I have experience working with a variety of students in multiple subjects, ranging from English and History papers at Connecticut College to Nautical and Marine Science papers...
