...both had a lot of fun. He improved greatly in the time I worked with him, and it was incredibly rewarding to watch him master concepts that he once found difficult. I hope to be able to help students understand the material they are studying and make it their own.

...engaging. Because of that, I grew up loving math. No matter how difficult it was to grasp a concept at first, my dad would approach it in different ways until something clicked and and I felt like I had mastered it. I was really impressed by the difference his patience made and I love tutoring because it helps me do that for other people. I am currently a student at Rice University, majoring in Cognitive...

...and MA in Counseling Psychology. I spent over 15 years as an Executive Administrative Assistant in the workforce, which emphasized to me more than anything else could, the importance of education. What I learned through high school and in the private sector took me a long way along a career path that provided a good living and personal respect. However, my college education will take me further and open previously closed doors. Knowledge is the...

...comfortable expressing their thoughts and feelings about the material. In a tutoring session, a student should feel open to ask questions and express concerns. Outside of academics, I enjoy sports, specifically triathlon. I competed on UT's club triathlon team for four years, and I absolutely enjoyed it. I also play tennis when the weather cooperates. I believe the hard work, dedication, teamwork, and drive necessary to succeed in sport carries over to academics. In addition...

...development, especially spelling, grammar, and free writing. I love to use games or other creative methods to peak student interest and give them a solid understanding of CONCEPTS rather than sets of formulas, rules, etc, without the knowledge to manipulate or apply them. My philosophy is process-oriented rather than product oriented (outcome ONLY), with an emphasis on taking the student from the level he/she is and generating marked improvement over time. It thrills me to...

...favorite subjects to tutor are violin, chemistry, and mathematics, all of which I am very passionate about. I have tutored mandarin and violin before during my high school years. My teaching philosophy involves understanding overlying concepts into detail which allow for successful application. In my free time you will most likely find me playing basketball at the local gym, practicing violin in my garage, or making some music for YouTube. Overall, I am benign yet...

Undoubtedly, my academic background (MA in German and English and a Ph.D. in the field of education) help me to provide solid work for my students.

I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a major in Psychology and minors in both Spanish and French. I began tutoring as a peer-tutor in elementary school, and have continued tutoring and teaching all levels. I enjoy working with students on reading and study skills, Spanish, and test prep, but my favorite subject to tutor is math because I enjoy the challenge of making numbers make sense.

...am a former public school teacher and am passionate about helping children get past the "hump" they may be experiencing academically. I earned a degree in Psychology from UTSA, after which I completed additional coursework to earn my Teaching Certificate with a concentration in Early Childhood Education. I am also an experienced tutor and love witnessing that "aha!" moment with children when they finally understand something they have struggled with. I love tutoring all subjects,...

...to be comfortable with each other. We won't be able to learn together if we don't know 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...

...learner's problem-solving strategies, and prepare learners by providing them with strategies that will help them presently and in the future. I believe that most learning occurs in situations that are both meaningful and realistic; my goal in tutoring is to help learners where they are challenged and provide strategies that are customized to their strengths. When I am not working on my dissertation or tutoring, I enjoy going to the beach, driving through the hill...

...make math and any subject I am teaching applicable then it means that it will hopefully be easier to click. I also like to have the students walk me through their thought process because it allows me to correct any quick errors. When I am not tutoring I enjoy reading, playing soccer and I also like puzzles, and watching scary movies. I also regularly attend Bible studies and church on Sundays. I would consider myself...

...be discouraged! I'm also comfortable teaching Spanish up to a high school level. I have lived in Spanish speaking countries long enough to feel comfortable with my conversational skills. I'm hoping to reach complete fluency one day. My interests in academia are very broad, beyond my strongest subjects. I love Philosophy and majored in Religious Studies at Rice University (with a focus in early/gnostic Christianity and Buddhism). In my spare time, I work on music (currently...

...a B.A. in Cultural Anthropology. In the future I hope to achieve my PhD in Ecology with a focus on indigenous populations living in tropical/temperate rain forests. I love to tutor math as well as any science courses because they have a large quantity of information that needs to be digested, but once you get that light bulb moment it's something you'll never forget. In my personal tutoring style I like to approach problems from...

...relationships, through self-discipline and consistency, with students who had otherwise been given up on. By building successful relationships, I have had a high level of achievement in working with my students and their families. I have witnessed growth of all my students. I provided ongoing support and expertise through comprehensive assessment, planning, implementation, and overall evaluation. I worked with both general and special education students. I have had to re-evaluate how I monitor learner’s progress...

...is English grammar. Grammar is the real mechanics of the English language; it is the basis of English, giving order to what can appear to be a chaos. My teaching philosophy is based in the belief that students learn best when complex and difficult concepts are simplified, allowing them to be easier to understand. This way the students' needs to understand and utilized information are met. It is also important that I do what I...
