I have several years of experience working with students from pre-K to high school in the areas of Reading, Writing and Language Arts, as well as Math and ACT/SAT preparation. I have worked with students of varying abilities, including those with learning difficulties and gifted students. I grew up in Chicago, but was born in Ukraine, so I speak Russian fluently. I also speak Spanish--I learned it in school...

I love having the opportunity to mold the minds of youth while helping them be successful academically and in life.

...each other on a personal basis. When I start tutoring sessions, I make sure that I get to know my students first. That way we are able to build a strong relationship before we start into the academics. Another of my teaching beliefs is that everyone can learn. Everyone learns in a different way and everyone has their own style, but everyone can learn. Part of my job as a tutor is to find the...

...high-school students (AP English, AP World History, college essay-writing), and adults (business writing and English for non-native speakers). I believe that knowing how to write well is one the most beneficial, lifelong skills a student can develop, as it will give them an edge in just about any career they choose.

I took both International Baccalaureate courses in addition to Advanced Placement courses in high school, and have been involved in Honors courses and extra-curricular research activities since the beginning of my undergraduate education.

...I am currently the Math Specialist/Interventionist at a charter school here in Austin. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about elementary and middle school math. I also have extensive experience with tutoring students in standardized testing, a component of student evaluation that has become increasingly important.

...material. One of the most enjoyable things to me about teaching is the ability to give a student confidence in themselves by building upon their knowledge, providing them with problem solving skills, and ensuring their understanding of concepts. Education is a strong passion of mine, but I also enjoy traveling, cooking, snorkeling, reading, riding bicycles and playing tennis. Until a few years ago we also rode our 3 quarter horses on trails through the forest and...

A life-long mathematics educator and learner who thrives in an atmosphere of academic collaboration, investigation, discovery and enlightenment. I believe that all students can learn and grow intellectually. I firmly believe in the wonderful and hopeful word "yet"...as in, "I can't do this 'yet', but if I keep working and trying, I will be able to do it eventually!"... I would introduce myself and try to find some commonality between myself and the student. I would ask about learning style, strengths, and weaknesses regarding retention of new material. I would ask about fears and experiences that might be roadblocks to learning and discuss how we might allay these.
