During my time as a graduate student in the English Department at Oregon State University, I have taught seven sections of first-year composition classes as a graduate teaching assistant. As an undergraduate, I tutored a seventh grade student with learning disabilities and worked one on one with her in all of her subjects every day after school. I also have experience as a teaching assistant for two English professorsduring both my undergraduate and graduate degrees.As as a tutor, teaching assistant, and composition instructor, I have learned that many students have a great deal of anxiety and fear about writing. I am dedicated, then, to meeting students where they are at in their writing. I have found that my strengths lie in listening to students, hearing what they struggle with, and then dedicating the time and patience to helping them improve their work. My goal as an instructor and tutor is to not only equip students with the skills they need to improve their writing and English but also to help them see that they do have something valuable to say and that they can make improvements. I have learned through my experiences that I am passionate about working with students because I greatly enjoy helping them gain confidence to become better writers, communicators, and learners.

I first became interested in tutoring in high school, where I found myself helping friends in anything from AP Literature to the math portions on the SATs. In my experience, working one on one with people has been incredibly rewarding, as it allows for a deeper level of communication between the tutor and the tutee. I began tutoring more formally when I started attending college at Boston University. Throughout my junior year, I worked at BUs Writing Center as a writing consultant, where we help students with papers from the writing courses, ESL English courses, and various other courses in the College of Arts and Sciences. Being a consultant has given me the opportunity to work with students from diverse backgrounds, whether they be an ESL student in Biology or a student from Boston studying English, and I am excited to return to this work during my upcoming senior year.Working with so many different students has taught me a lot about tutoring, including valuable lessons about different learning styles and communication. My approach to tutoring is typically to begin with a discussion with the students about what they feel their strengths and weaknesses are, and their past experiences with the subject being discussed. I have found that engaging with the student and opening a line of communication helps me to determine what the focus of a session should be and how directly to approach learning specific topics. Some students require more direct visual step-by-step examples whereas others can benefit by completing a problem individually and then reviewing errors. Therefore, I try to keep in mind that figuring out a students learning process by asking questions about teaching styles and specific challenges is often just as important as the material being taught; not only does identifying these characteristics help me better tailor my tutoring approach, but it can also help the student better learn on their own.Outside of tutoring, I am an avid reader, movie lover, gamer, and concert-goer. When Im not re-reading my favorite Shakespeare play or watching the latest comic book movie, I can usually be found jumping up and down at a rock concert somewhere in the Boston area. Music has been an incredible influence upon my life, allowing me to connect with friends and strangers alike through the art of others. Im also a passionate animal lover, and I volunteer weekly to clean and (mostly) play with cats at the shelter, despite being a bit allergic. Additionally, being a computer science and philosophy double major at Boston University, I love discussing topics about technology and existentialism. People tend to say Im the textbook definition of a nerd, and Id have to proudly agree with them. I love learning new things and sharing knowledge with others, which is one of the reasons I find tutoring so rewarding. Oftentimes I find that as I help a student better understand a topic, I too get to learn quite a lot from them, and Im excited to continue to share my love of knowledge with others.

I'm a recent college grad looking to assist students to the best of my abilities during this difficult time.

I graduated in May 2015 from Rice University in Houston, Texas with a Bachelor of Arts degree. I majored in Sociology and in the Study of Women, Gender, and Sexuality, and minored in Poverty, Justice, and Human Capabilities. I studied at the Bronx High School of Science in New York City prior to attending Rice. I have tutored and mentored students ages 5-18 on various subjects and interests, including general homework help, mathematics, history, SAT prep, and Chinese. I was born in Hong Kong and lived there until I was 9. I am a native speaker of and am academically proficient in Mandarin and Cantonese Chinese. My favorite subject to tutor is Chinese, because Chinese culture is fascinating and the language reflects that depth very well. I am patient, honest, and flexible. My Meyers-Briggs personality type is ENFP, so I am passionate, encouraging, and optimistic. I love challenges and I am passionate about helping students because when students know that I believe in them, they begin to feel that they are capable of overcoming their academic and other challenges. I love all kinds of cultures and religions, and I am fascinated by learning about and from people. I believe in learning from my students as I work with them to meet their needs. Outside of academia, I enjoy trying different cuisines and exploring art and cultural events, including visiting museums, galleries, and various cultural and ethnic festivals. I also love DIY (Do It Yourself) projects, because they make me feel capable and strong to take on challenges.

I am a recent graduate of Columbia University, a certified high school social studies teacher, and your next tutor!

I love Biology, It is not hard. I enjoy helping my students understand that biology is life. I do this by taking my time to break everything down and focus on the foundations. I'm also a student, so if i do not know something; I make it my top priority to learn about it. :)

I have a passion for the French language, culture and politics! As a college student at Montclair State University, double majoring in French translation and political science, I look forward to engaging clients in the francophone world, and the realm of politics.

I am a graduate of the University of Oregon where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Romance Languages (French and Spanish) with a minor in European Studies and graduated with honors. Since graduation, I have traveled extensively, living in Northern Ireland, France and Germany for 7 years altogether. Four of those years were spent in Berlin where I learned German studying Philosophy and working as a tour guide. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Foreign Languages.In my experience helping students of all ages, ranging from helping with homework and test prep for school to the late bloomer looking to acquire further education after their "formal" education has ended, my goal is to make the student comfortable and empower them giving them the confidence in their own abilities to achieve. I am a firm proponent of education believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my two dogs, reading, watching all kinds of sports, jogging, and most of all writing songs, singing, and playing guitar and piano in my band.

Hello! I have over 6 years of experience in educational settings with all ages. I am friendly, reliable, and most importantlycommitted to helping you learn! It is my top priority to create a positive learning experience that will help boost your test scores without boring you to tears. After all, shouldn't learning be fun?

I recently graduated from Williams College (the #1 College in America) with a degree in Biology and Maritime Studies. I am qualified to tutor in many areas including the math and sciences, English, and test preparation (ranging from elementary level through the SATs/ACTs). I have tutored for my entire life and would love to help your student with whatever they may need. I try to relate to the student through their likes to instill in them a love of learning--especially in subjects that are hard to grasp. Please let me know if you would like any more information!
