I believe in teaching to the student and building up from there. My current job as a learning specialist with learning impaired and at-risk students has shown me that engaging a student on their level helps lay a solid foundation for progress. Working one-on-one enables me to taylor my lessons and approach to the individual in a way that ensures positive growth and eventually tangible results.

...to Ancient Egypt. My love of anthropology and history would never have been possible if I hadn't honed my reading skills. As a child I struggled with reading comprehension and if it were not for the patient guidance of the adults in my life I would not be the person I am today. I have worked with elementary students for the the past two years. From my experience, patience is the most important tool a...

...and 6th grades. The later years have been spent in middle and high school. I also homeschooled my three children for seven years.

...our bodies and explains the world around us at large. In particular, with my medical training I have acquired the knowledge and skills to also teach graduate level medical sciences such as physiology, anatomy, and pathology. With that said, I can teach anything science related from an elementary school level to a college level. I believe a student learns best when they are fully engaged and present in the moment. My teaching style ensures that...

...best for each individual. For example one child may benefit from visual learning while another student may learn best from a more hands on approach such as practice problems. I love helping students understand a concept that they previously struggled with.

...in some way! I have experience working with ages K-12 through various after school and summer mentoring programs. I tutor in Maths and Sciences. I also teach some computer science and test prep as well, specifically the SAT. I love teaching math because it's applicable everywhere! I believe in teaching how to learn, not just transferring knowledge. It's important for students to develop intuitions and not just memorize facts. In addition to ECE I'm interested...

...in ESL, GT, and Special Education (and of course, being a teacher in Texas, I am a STAAR expert). I have worked extensively with students of all ages, with a variety of needs and goals. I have a plethora of resources and "tools" that I use to ensure each student gets exactly what he/she needs, whether that's test prep, help with a writing/editing a graduate research paper, learning to read, subject enrichment and everything above,...

...often than not, the outcome has been successful. It has been successful because I worked to create an atmosphere of complete transparency, and I learned to pay careful attention to each of my students. Therefore, I could identify academic challenges or misunderstanding that in some cases they were not aware of themselves. Creating an open space that leads to transformative work is my special gift. I would be honored to share it with students through...

Currently, I am in the process of applying to the University of Houston to become a candidate in the English Master's program. My hobbies include cooking Cajun and Italian dishes, running while admiring the beauty of nature, and working on my first novel (I'm 43 pages in). I am...

...got the chance to help dozens of students every day. However, I enjoy one-on-one tutoring the most because there is less pressure to help as many people as possible. Instead, I can focus on a single student for the entire session. I have tutored a very diverse range of students. There have been grandmothers returning to school for the first time in 30 years, high school students taking challenging AP courses, and college students from...

I have a very diverse academic background, having lived and studied in both Europe and America, and my goal is to use all the knowledge I've gained to make each tutoring experience as rewarding for the student as it is for me. I look forward to helping more students make their academic lives just a little less stressful by presenting materials from a different perspective and...

...on accessibility. I devote my daily life to creating an open and inviting community in which anyone is welcome. I passionately believe in our roles as lifelong learners and do not think that education should stop after a certain age or stop after a certain quota is met. No one should be made to feel that learning is unapproachable! In my "arts life," I founded a pop-up gallery devoted to a democratized sharing of art...
