...from Chicago and completed my bachelor degree at Michigan State University. I majored in Education and minored in ESL and English. I also have a specialization in urban education and have completed almost half of my masters degree through MSU. I love working with students and helping them achieve more then they thought they could. I love tutoring students in reading because I have a huge passion for it. I believe that every child can...

...I enjoy those specific mathematical subjects because I believe they are the most black and white subjects and therefore, the easiest to break down for a student. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing a student's face light up when they finally understand how to break down a math problem. Aside from Mathematics, I am also enthusiastic about tutoring Spanish linguistics, explaining psychological concepts, and editing papers for both mechanical errors and content expression. I have...

...variety of subjects and age groups. I currently teach psychology and statistics at Glendale Community College and plan to teach other courses there in the future. I am very excited on the first day of every semester to meet my new students! It is my goal to make all the material relevant and interesting. I want my students to be as excited as me to learn each and every class. While I currently teach college...

...become a tutor started back when my little brother needed help with his math homework. Not only did I enjoy it, but there were positive results for him as well. I have a well-rounded background including everything most math-related fields (as my major requires me to have an extensive mathematical background), computing, and acting. Although most technical students don't have the time, or perhaps the desire, to engage in an art, I actively pursue my...

...and sustainability courses focus on the cultural growth and changes of society, my statistic courses allow me to focus on the numerical side, providing to a comprehensive education and outlook. The integration of these fields gives me a greater understanding of society, globalization, and the learned versus psychological traits and behaviors that govern it. I am inspired to take my future into my own hands and develop a study where I can use the knowledge...

...special needs. These experiences truly helped to make me a more well rounded and cultured individual who can adapt easily to the needs of others. I absolutely love to read, which is why I love helping students in Language Arts and Writing. I worked for 2 years at my alma mater University, helping college students with disabilities develop their academic skills. While I did assist them in all subjects, I mostly helped them to develop...

...in mind external factors that affect the students’ development as a second language learner. My approach to this issue has always been and will continue to be proactive, involving the cultivation of a positive rapport with the students, creation of positive and safe learning environment and a high emphasis on the content of the material. When the students are provided with comprehensive activities that are interactive, culturally significant and meaningful to everyday life, they are...

...have a special love of the medieval literature of dreams and visions. I specialized in Medieval and Golden Age literature from Spain but with my minor areas of Colonial Latin American, Modern Peninsular (Spanish) and other coursework in Latin American Literature I am also a generalist and do enjoy teaching outside of my main area of research. I have been teaching Spanish since 2005, as a graduate student at the University of Arizona, and in...

...answers. Many times students know so much more than they realize, and showing that to them is always the first thing I try to accomplish. I am about pinpointing the problem and making small changes to have the most impact. In my spare time (when I have any :)) I enjoy water sports. I like scuba diving, surfing and just being near any water in general. I also spend my time with an organization called...

...level. I have worked with many students including special needs children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Oppositional Defiance Disorder and some emotionally disturbed children. I have experience in the medical microbiology lab at the Hawaii Department of Health and a virology research lab at University of Hawaii at Manoa. I love Microbiology and Spanish! I have been studying Spanish language and linguistics for the past ten years, and combined with my Hispanic background I have...

...reason I think I manage to be successful in helping others is that I recognize the different types of learning styles. Some individuals are verbal learners (like me), others are physical learners, and others have even different styles of learning (there are seven recognized types of learning). Teachers can attempt to teach to different learning styles, but sometimes trying to accommodate for all seven can be incredibly tedious, especially when there are a lot of...

...freely, and that each session is enjoyable. Sessions should also be productive ??? each meeting is worthwhile and things get done. To optimize learning, the student should play an active role in the learning process. This enhances learning by allowing the students themselves the opportunity to strengthen the connections in the brain that produce learning. When I am not perfecting my tutoring skills, I find myself involved in music in some way. I play the...

...their goals and passions. I am a passionate learner, and bring that spark with me when I help others learn. What I like best in a one-on-one learning environment is getting to really know a student's hopes and struggles and then addressing them specifically, so that their efforts result in a personally felt success. I make time in my life to include hiking, camping, working up songs with my family and friends--the more complex the...

...and have a great passion igniting students' interest in learning. I love tutoring a broad range of subjects, but am most passionate in Literature, History, and Spanish. I have been learning Spanish for almost ten years now and have been able to use in multiple jobs. As a teaching assistant in public schools, I realized how much love I have for learning and hope to bestow that on any student I may have.

...courses to students of varying age and backgrounds. I have a competitive athletic background playing basketball, softball, and running track. I still play from time to time and thru those experiences, I learned how to remain focused, dedicated and ambitious. It can be difficult balancing your school work and being a tri-sport athlete year round but I have the tools to help you with developing that. I am patient, confident, and enjoy introducing new learning...

...fun, exciting, eye-opening, or even on some occasions just down right frustrating. All in all though I would describe learning as a process. Learning is something we do everyday, all the time, and its something that takes effort, but it is also so worth it! I'm here to help you get through those tough stretching or even frustrating moments, so that you can come to find for yourself how enjoyable and valuable learning really is....

I focus on authentic practices that reflect how Spanish is truly spoken in everyday situationson the street, at work, with family, and in professional contexts. My classes are designed to make learning useful, dynamic, and tailored to each student's needs. Whether you need to learn Spanish to communicate better, to travel, for your job, or to pass an official exam, I'm here to...

...classroom immensely, I primarily enjoy working with students on a one-on-one basis. This gives me the opportunity to get to know them as individuals and really keep track of their progress. I view tutoring as more of an exchange than traditional teaching; I believe my students and I can work together to solve any problem. When assisting with a writing assignment, for example, it will only be a temporary solution for me to simply pull...

...Spain, where I lived with a Spanish host family and took all of my courses in Spanish at the local university. More recently, I have completed a Certificate in Spanish Translation and Interpretation from Pima Community College in Tucson, Arizona.

As a 2nd language learner of Spanish myself, I have personally experienced many of the common challenges that English speakers...

Before finally committing to studying music at ASU, however, I spent 2 years studying Electrical Engineering, and it was through my experiences in classes like Differential Equations and Signal Analysis that I learned the importance of a good teacher who truly wants to see you succeed. My experience in these different...
