After 15 months tutoring and traveling in Panama, I am back in the...

...SAT. I have a strong connection to all the subjects I tutor. Because I am studying science, I am most passionate about physics and math, but I excel in every subject I teach. Throughout my life, I have had many wonderful opportunities that resulted from my excellent education. It is important to me that my students receive an excellent education to improve their quality of life. In my free time, I enjoy playing guitar and...

...time working in a charter school, as a private English tutor in Madrid, and with both private and non-profit academic support and enrichment programs. Over the years I've taught just about every subject. I love helping students develop a positive, can-do attitude in relation to subjects that used to make them feel anxious and confused. (In my experience this is often math or standardized tests, but I also love to tutor writing and general study...

...a Kindergarten classroom, and currently a 3rd grade classroom. I have tutored for three students who were all freshman in high school and needed help in time management, math, Spanish, History, and Biology. My favorite subjects to tutor are History (because I love it and I am a History major), Language Arts, and Math, but I am willing to help each student with whatever they need. Two of the students I tutored were able to...

...places it can take you. While teaching English in Spain, I was impressed by the enthusiasm that the students responded with to learning a language, and it is that feeling of excitement that I strive for in my tutoring sessions.

...and film and television. I'm well-read and culturally open-minded; I studied abroad in Seville, Spain for a semester, and I have traveled to a number of countries. My tutoring experience has involved Spanish language and analytical writing. I have plans to pursue a Master's degree in Education so I can teach both in the U.S. and abroad. I am originally from Connecticut, but since I've made the move out to San Francisco, I've found myself...

...am looking forward to meeting you and helping you master the tasks you may currently need help with. I grew up here in the San Francisco Bay Area, and I attended all French-American Bilingual schools through the end of high school. In college, I spent some time studying and living in Ecuador and Peru, so I also speak Spanish. I have worked with students of all ages, from elementary school students just learning to read...

...instructors drone on for hours, I know this isn't the case with everyone. For example--my two younger brothers who I have tutored in numerous subject areas throughout their entire school careers. Additionally, I have served in both official and impromptu (e.g. leading group study sessions) tutoring capacities during high school and college, with a particular emphasis on the humanities and social sciences. If you're looking for someone with expertise in AP exams, general SAT and...

...tutor math at any level up through Calculus 3 and Linear Algebra, as well as Physics and Chemistry. Math and science have always been my favorite subjects to study and teach, because they are built on evidence and proof. My teaching philosophy is based on this- that if you know how something works, rather than just that it works, you will remember it better and be much more confident applying it. Additionally, I understand from...
