I tutor a wide range of subjects, but I especially enjoy tutoring language and reading. I believe that with the right...

...succeed, one unit and exam at a time. I've spent time as a Senior Copy Editor for The Michigan Daily, and love to edit articles and essays both for grammar and syntax. In addition, I am a fluent Spanish speaker and love helping people boost their fluency, whether reading, writing, or speaking.

...and have experience educating children with special needs. I have learned through my experience that enabling students and being patient are 2 very important skills to have when working with any student. My past year and a half has consisted of being a team leader for AmeriCorps, where I mentored 5-11 18-24 year olds and worked with 5 different non-profits. I also worked for Feed My Starving Children, where I honed my public speaking skills....

...that I can't keep to myself. I feel joy when I share things I learn with others. I am an effective tutor because I listen to students' needs and concerns, and I understand that learning is a process and that people have different learning styles, strengths, and interests.

...University of Minnesota Twin Cities, and earned my Master's in Teaching from Bethel University. During college, I spent a semester living in Spain, and since then I've continued traveling to places like Mexico and Central America to keep practicing the language and learning about different cultures. One of my favorite parts of teaching is helping students see how Spanish can be useful and fun in their own lives. I like to keep things engaging and...

...ways to work with you brain rather than against it. I find this approach empowers students to direct their own learning process. With this in mind, I get to know my students and examine together how they learn best. Then I get to work to individualize lessons ensuring students get what they need out of their tutoring sessions. When not in education mode, I like to sing in an LGBTQ+ choir, play volleyball, bike, cuddle...

...his English Learning. The following year I spent six weeks teaching English in China. I then was a middle school ESL teacher for three years.

...abroad trip to Viña del Mar, Chile was fundamental to my development as a Spanish speaker and a person. I attended Universidad Adolfo Ibanez, taking classes on Chilean culture, art, the Pinochet regime, and linguistics. These Spanish-only classes were tough, but not as tough as daily life was with my host family. Chileans speak a rapid, fragmented, and slang-filled version of Spanish, and my three, lovely host mothers were no exception. At the end of...

...help with algebra and tutoring in Spanish. I speak Spanish fluently after living in Chile for two years and I like to try to teach towards the understanding of my students. First by helping them understand some of the Latin roots and then teaching useful phrases that can be used more commonly. I have always had a passion for biology and the sciences connected to it and with that I will be able to help...

...as an economics prefect/TA for introductory microeconomics classes. In this role, I both held classroom sessions and tutored students individually. It was rewarding to see the results of my efforts and the impact I could have on other students. I am at an expert level in many math and economics areas. The key to my process is helping you not just 'get the answer' but also understanding the process of how to get there. I want...

...students proud of reaching each goal they set out to conquer! I've worked with students on English listening, speaking, reading, vocabulary and phonics goals, as well as language-related content goals (science, math, social studies, etc) in order to improve test-taking skills. While learning, we try to keep things fun with TPR movements, music, mnemonics, game-style learning activities, etc., as it helps our brain remember when we feel at ease. However, I also keep high expectations...

...been an editorial assistant at a publishing company. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English and Spanish. In my experience, helping struggling students better understand the grammar and structure of language is the key to helping them succeed in all areas of life.

...of math, english, ACT prep, russian, and spanish courses, and I would love to work with you! I have been speaking russian and spanish since I was 5, and I was in a secondary math and reading program from a young age as well, which allowed me to succeed academically.

...way to reinforce one's own learning. ----- My teaching/learning philosophy can be summarized as an emphasis on: --Curiosity: A spirit of curiosity wonders priming the mind for learning. --Clarity: Maintaining a clarity of goals/intentions/motivations builds the foundation for greater focus, commitment, and ultimately success. --Context: A sense of purpose can be derived from understanding the big picture of a subject. Ask the "who?", "what?", "when?", "where?", "why?", and "how?" questions. --Comprehension: Success occurs when a...

Teaching Philosophy Robert Hultgren “The limits of my language are the limits of my world.” ­Ludwig Wittgenstein In my experience, one of the most important things that students can learn is the validity of another’s opinion.

...an audience. At my undergraduate, Simpson College, I tutored college and high school students in mathematics, economics, accounting and edited papers. I firmly believe every student can succeed if they set a goal, seek out the right support (that's me!) and work hard.

Passionate and communicative teacher who enjoys being creative and group problem solving. I am a junior at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, double majoring in film production and screenwriting. I am a super hard worker, and I love talking with/getting to know people. I am also very adaptable and can jump between teaching styles whenever needed; I have taught all grade levels K-12. I enjoy teaching, film, animation, writing, chess and more!

...to feel hopeless and defeated in a class. It's a very hard place to be in. If I could keep just one student from feeling this way in their classes, it'd be worth it. I want to create a comfortable, judgement-free environment that holds space for all types of learning. I want to help students find what motivates them to learn and which teaching methods work well with that student's specific learning style.

I am a kind and patient tutor who loves learning languages and am excited to share my knowledge! I also really enjoy mathematics and can break it down into ways that will make sense.

...skills. Soon after, I taught special education where I empowered students to become independent learners while using creative approaches to accommodate varied learning styles while tracking student progress and following timelines for re-evaluations. I developed IEP and 504 plans with collaboration from teachers, parents, and each student. While I taught a broad range of subjects, I'm most passionate about reading and writing improvement using the Kansas University Learning Strategies. The life skills of organization, studying,...
