...students. I am currently tutoring a student in ESL. This is my first time working in this subject area but it is a positive and fulfilling experience. I like to equate my teaching style with that of the old saying, if at first you don't succeed try try again. I encourage students to keep playing with different studying strategies to find one that works the best for him or her. The best technique that I...

...help them improve whatever subject they have difficulty with. I love to read myself and read the classics, mystery, action novels and because I do like history, I have read many biographies on American figures and the eras they lived.

Higher level subjects in the social sciences such as Psychology and Economics have always been a strength and I am more than happy to share my passion there, too!

...a couple years later. Athletics were a huge part of my college experience so I know how hard but important balancing academics with athletics can be. This caused me to be very organized and disciplined with my study habits, which is definitely something I try to impart on my students. While I think that organization and discipline are important for learning, I also know that fun is essential. My main goal with my students is...

...to take place. I earned my B.A. in philosophy from Kent State University, where I also studied literature and creative writing. Since then I have worked primarily in the field of education, both as a teacher and a tutor. In my free time I enjoy reading, creative writing, composing music, playing tennis, hiking, and camping. The thing I enjoy most in life is making personal connections with people, and finding opportunities to help them.... Learning is...

...stories and allow students to develop opinions and skills that will inform them for life. My style of tutoring is what I call "gradual release:" we will set your goals and practice skills together until you are able to do them on your own! I love cooking, reading, and watching football and baseball, and enjoy mashing any of my hobbies together (want me to make a huge Super Bowl spread of food? Yes, please!). I...

I love the one on one aspect of tutoring a student.The main reason for tutoring is to help a student get from point 'a' to point 'b'. Helping students find the most direct route to success is the first goal in tutoring.... I believe that every student has the ability to learn - some just need extra time, help,...
