I have been an ESL Teacher for past 9 years in universities in Saudi Arabia and for 2 years in community colleges in the United States. Teaching overseas has given me a great appreciation for all cultures!

Anyone can learn another language, comparative/applied linguistics and simultaneous translation/interpretation at any age. I use multiple intelligences, multimodality and authentic integrated strategies to make your language learning journey one with ease, proficiency and fluency in four skills and fun!

As a graduate student in mathematics, I teach and tutor college students in calculus and algebra almost every day. With classroom teaching experience in algebra, trigonometry, probability, and calculus, and one-on-one tutoring experience in algebra 1 through calculus, I have the experience and expertise to help you understand whichever area of math you need.I am also fluent in Spanish, and can tutor from high school through intro college Spanish, as well as tutor math in Spanish.Outside of the classroom, I enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking and rock climbing, as well as playing jazz guitar. I am also an avid reader (when I have the time), and I enjoy reading both fiction and nonfiction.

I received my BA cum laude in American Studies from Yale University in 2013, and worked for the past two years as the Exhibit Content and Media Coordinator at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate. My experiences have given me insight into the best methods for teaching students in an exciting and engaging way, and I am excited to put these skills to work.I love working with students to perfect their essays, digging into the fundamentals of good writing to make sure we build lasting writing skills. My passion for history and writing, my skills as an editor and writer, and my comfort working with students of all ages make me a great fit for anyone seeking tutoring in history, literature, writing, and essay editing, or standardized test prep in those areas!My specialties are in writing, editing, history, and literature. As an American Studies major at Yale, I developed excellent analytical and creative writing skills. My senior thesis in American Studies examined the visual language of race and power in Korean war photography. Outside the classroom, I served as editor-in-chief of The Bullblog, Yale???s daily campus blog. I also served as a teacher in the Hillel Children???s School, a Jewish learning program for students aged K-8. In my role as classroom teacher, I was in charge of lesson planning, classroom management, and teaching Hebrew and Judaic studies to classes of middle school students.An important part of the mission at Varsity Tutors is working with students to engage them in learning. Similarly, my job at the EMK Institute was to frame public policy in a way that inspired people to become more civically engaged. As the Institute???s Exhibit Content and Media Coordinator, I was a hands-on developer of the Institute???s Senate Immersion Module program, in which students craft mock legislation in a full-scale replica of the Senate chamber. I worked alongside teachers to design educational programs, lesson plans, and curriculum that effectively communicated content to students and teachers. I also worked directly with middle and high school students, teaching them historical lessons and engaging them in debates on historical topics related to the United States Senate. I also honed my communication and classroom skills by training the first class of volunteer docents for the museum. It was my job to produce the 100-page training manual and to teach all of the historical content to the new tour guides. My experience at the EMK Institute gave me experience in a cutting-edge educational setting and prepared me for tutoring, particularly for middle and high school students.Please contact me with any further questions!

I went to college at NYU Abu Dhabi, the world's honors college, where I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in psychology, and I attended high school in New Hampshire at Phillips Exeter Academy. I'm currently applying for medical schools and hope to matriculate in the fall of 2017.I tutor a broad range of high school and college subjects, but my favorites by far are Spanish and chemistry. I started studying Spanish when I was 10 years old, and fell in love with the idea that suddenly I could communicate with a whole other community of people. Since becoming fluent in Spanish, I've continued to pursue my love of languages by studying Arabic and Mandarin Chinese in school, as well as picking up German from my Austrian family and French from my travels. I'm currently teaching myself Russian with the online learning software Duolingo.Chemistry has always been my favorite of the three core sciences, as it's more concretely observable than much of modern physics, but more connected to underlying physical principles than biology. My approach to teaching chemistry is to always keep in mind its connection to the other sciences, which can facilitate a better grasp on many chemical concepts.My approach to tutoring is based in the Harkness philosophy of teaching, which gives a great deal of responsibility to the student to figure things out. I will make sessions as interactive as possible, using as many non-academic resources as I can in order to help students think of subjects as life skills rather than material they must know for a test. I want students to be motivated to learn for the sake of learning something new, rather than simply to pass a test.When I'm not tutoring or writing my medical school applications, I enjoy teaching myself new languages and reading works by authors such as Haruki Murakami, Ernest Hemingway, and James Joyce. I also love to travel whenever I get the chance, and most recently have visited Ireland, Norway, and Austria.

I am a graduate of Texas State University- San Marcos. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communications with a focus on Advertising and Media Studies. Since graduation, I have received my alternative teacher certification from ITeachTexas. I have been teaching special education to elementary students in all grade levels. Being a special education teacher has allowed me to better understand how individuals learn and to teach in a manner that allows success. My background with exceptional learners and my passion to educate has allowed me to have a better understanding of how to link the bridge between special education and general education through a collaborative process. I believe all students can learn!In my spare time, I enjoy reading that which enriches my life, yoga, running, and cooking in my Instant Pot.

I have been working with children with exceptionalities for over 14 years. I am a Highly Qualified Texas Board Certified Teacher and Licensed Educational Diagnostician. I am knowledgeable about the classifications of students' learning differences and I understand how to effectively develop, implement, evaluate and facilitate the delivery of interventions for children with different learning styles. For over 14 years I have delivered differentiated and scientifically proven instructional techniques in which are prescriptive, systematic, motivating, creative and culturally responsive. My success as an educator can be attributed to my creativity and ability to effectively target instruction based on students' strengths and weaknesses.I am committed to being a life-long learner and staying abreast of 21st century teaching and learning. This will guide and direct my recommendations and assure the development of individualized treatment plans and interventions that are purposeful, observable, and measurable.

I am a first-year MBA student at Cornell Johnson's School of Business, class of 2024.I earned my undergrad degree from Christian Brothers University in Memphis, TN in 2009. I received a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance. Following graduation, I commissioned as an officer in the Marine Corps and spent 12 years working in intelligence and recruiting. I completed multiple graduate-level schools while in the Marine Corps.Throughout my time in the Marine Corps, I spent countless hours teaching and mentoring both peers and subordinates in lessons pertaining to leadership, management, finances, intelligence, recruiting, human relations, and physical fitness. In 2012, while deployed on a ship, I taught undergraduate economics as an adjunct professor for Park University. Some of my most rewarding moments in my career were times when I was able to sit one-on-one, or with small groups, and teach my Marines valuable lessons in leadership and life skills. During the 2021/2022 school year I homeschooled my two children (2nd grade and pre-k). Teaching them, and teaching other young children in our homeschool co-op, has been a joy and has broadened my desire to teach young children in elementary-level math, history, and English.

I have been a teacher since 2005 and have taught both middle and high school English. I've been a literacy specialist since 2011.

I work with students in the way they learn best. I received a BA from Concordia College in Moorhead, MN in English and Education. I hold a master's degree in education and an Ed. S. degree in reading and language. I have also taught English as a second language to high school students through a Harvard summer program and to adult learners online. Outside of learning and teaching I enjoy being outside skiing, running, and surfing. In high school and college I played tennis, was on the swim team, and played violin.
