...than that 'aha!' moment - when my student understands something he/she would not have without my help. When my sisters and I came home from our school in the Bronx we had to complete 'Mom's homework' after our own schoolwork as a matter of course. 'Mom's homework' was our way into the best private schools in the northeast. My own children - my autistic son and my intellectually gifted daughter - did 'Mom's homework' as...

...graduated from college recently with a degree in philosophy and hope to be on my way to graduate school within a year or two. In the meantime, I want to learn how to better my teaching ability through tutoring. I believe in self-betterment, so I can appreciate when someone takes their time to find a tutor. Whether you are struggling in a certain class or want to understand a subject better, I would love to...

...will be from kindergarten to 12th grade. I also work as a translator. I love teaching my language in a very active way. I really believe every person has a particular method to learn. It is up to the teacher to discover it, and to incentive the learning process using puzzles, games, songs, etc. in the target language. In my free time, I enjoyed listening to music, cooking, and playing with my son.

I graduated with a bachelors in Neuroscience from Amherst College in 2012. I have a passion for biology and the natural sciences and am excited to be able to share it with others. I have experience with all variety of standardized tests and am confident teaching content or strategy for anything from NY Regents tests through the AP, SAT, or MCAT tests. My interests also extend to other subjects including Chemistry, Spanish, History, and Psychology.

I tutor middle and high school students, and I also have some teaching experience with elementary school grades. I believe a solid understanding of grammar, syntax and spelling is important when learning any language; but at the same time, I always complement the theoretical part with practical examples, using various kinds of media, including books, articles, videos, and experiences from my own life. Serious fun!

...one, as well as with larger classes with a variety of learner types. My first priority is student understanding; to ensure that my students learn everything that they need to succeed, as well as when and how to use what they have learned. I believe that, aside from its everyday practical uses, second languages can offer new opportunities and experiences. It is my goal to share my language skills in an interesting and engaging way.

...that education is one of the most fundamental aspects of a society's wellbeing, and that it is the duty of those of us who have been graced with the advantages of a good education to give back in some way; one of my motivations for tutoring is to do my part in that way. In my free time, I love playing piano, running, riding my bike, and learning languages. My strongest academic interests are languages...
