ACT English Tutor • +50 Subjects

My favorite word is "why." And why is that, you may ask? Well, I am subject to a never-ending flow of knowledge because I perpetually wonder why. The search for answers to any question beginning with "why" has taught me everything I know -- and put me in a position to disseminate my knowledge to other people. Tutoring is the best possible way for me to do that.

From my experience teaching as a lecturer and laboratory instructor at both a university and community college, I have worked with students from varying educational backgrounds. It is particularly important for me to identify the learning style that best fits each student and present concepts that will be most effective for him or her. I make an effort to provide the optimal learning environment by having an upbeat, friendly and non-judgmental attitude in hopes to inspire intellectual curiosity and academic growth.

Rebecca

AP English Language and Composition Tutor • +30 Subjects

I graduated from Occidental College with a Bachelor of Arts in English and Comparative Literature, emphasizing critical theory. My tutoring spans a diverse range of experiences: I tutored math at an inner-city school in Los Angeles, English to students in Hyderabad, India, and reading to rehabilitated refugee children in Arizona. After graduating, I instructed reading programs for the Institute of Reading Development, where I saw that, as my students' reading skills improved, their overall confidence skyrocketed. They became better students because they stopped feeling incapable and inept. This experience is the foundation of my tutoring philosophy. I believe education increases one's own sense of ability and self-worth. Because of this, I aim to inspire interest and excitement in my students, not simply teach them effect ways to memorize a textbook. In this way, I agree with William B. Yeats in that "education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." I empower my students to seek answers on their own and develop their critical thinking skills. As a tutor, I structure my teaching around the student's individual interests and needs. For example, one 6th grade student loved to perform onstage, so we wrote a play to explore theme, plot, and dialogue. My favorite subjects to tutor are reading, writing, English and American history. In my free time, I teach yoga and write creative non-fiction. I love cooking, eating, and travel.

I worked as a peer tutoring during college and I currently tutor for a non-profit organization that targets high school students.I speak English and Chinese; I speak both Cantonese and Mandarin.My strengths as a tutor are threefold. I like to focus on exam skills. I also like to build special study methods to help students improve study efficiency.

I enjoy the one-on-one tutoring sessions because it provides a safe environment to learn. I break the sessions into small learning increments to motivate and engage the student. I believe this teaching strategy encourages independent learning and students want to come back to the next session.
