My Philosophy of Teaching, Learning, and Assessment comes from each other; and following what Wald and Castleberry (2002) provided in several great suggestions related to learning from each other when it comes to teacher improvement, learning, leadership, moral, school culture, student/faculty learning and life in general. The authors shared the following when it comes to assessment and learning that I also practice:1. Understanding yourself. As learners we have to understand ourselves by knowing who we are, what we believe in, and how we are willing to share what we have learned. We all see and react to things differently; that is important to see and listen to other's viewpoints.2. Understanding others' beliefs and assumptions. We all have various beliefs and assumptions with expressed opinions that can be either influenced by others or just learned from experiences. We should be interested in knowing what others are talented in, what they have trouble with, how they can help another individual overcome an obstacle, what traits or similarities and differences they can bring to the unity for the team.3. Communicating together in a trusting atmosphere. We should be able to listen to others carefully when one shares meaningful information without interrupting their thoughts or sharing your own personal views until they finish. We should respect each other's comments, be honest to giving your own suggestions if asked, be able to determine meaning of their conversation by rephrasing/repeating what they have ideas especially if the atmosphere is warm, pleasant and trustworthy, and should explain the reasons for doing certain things in detailed to avoid any relationship.4. Making decisions together as a whole/consensus. We should be able to be straightforward with each other when making decision as a team. We should have a tally as to how many agree or disagree to certain issues and reasons to support decisions5. Establishing ground rules and roles. When we come together as a team we should have set times to begin and end, we should stay focused on the discussion at hand, we should avoid any unnecessary interruption, we should allow all members to voice their opinion, we should save any negative judgments, we should support each other's suggestions and not knock them down, we should not make meetings long and drawn out, we should have established roles for each facilitator's recording kept.6. Allowing time to reflect. As a team the group should reflect back on the rules, goal, vision, and ideas that have been set to improve learning for all. See what has been accomplished, and what else needs improvement/change on a continuous bases for learning, for growth, and an avoidance of becoming complacent.

I am currently doing a PhD in Economics from Vanderbilt University, and have a lot of experience teaching economics and math. I also have a master's degree in Public Policy from the University of Maryland. I live in Nashville with my family. When I'm not studying, I enjoy swimming, reading, chess, skating and chilling.

Hello! My name is Ryan. I was born and raised in Casper, Wyoming, but I have been all around the country and world since then. I studied economics and international business at Gonzaga University in Washington state, interned in South Africa and Washington D.C., was a Peace Corps volunteer in the Dominican Republic, and won a Fulbright grant to go to Mexico. I am about to begin an MBA program at Vanderbilt University.I recognize how fortunate I've been to have these opportunities, but I also know that they exist for anyone dedicated enough to pursue them. I am passionate in helping spark the inspiration to do something amazing and help cultivate it.I am fluent in Spanish (and extremely familiar with all of the various colloquialisms that exist in various countries), extremely passionate about history and Latin American culture, and well-versed in economics and business.

I am currently a first-year student at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. My intended majors are Medicine, Health, and Society and Russian Studies, but I love learning all types of subject matter!I have extensive and recent experience with tutoring, whether for the ACT or for Algebra I. During my senior year of high school, I worked at Mathnasium, tutoring children of all ages in mathematical topics ranging from counting to calculus. Furthermore, I currently volunteer weekly in "Latino Achievers", a group that allows me to provide free ACT tutoring for students in Nashville schools.I also hope to receive certification soon to teach English as a foreign language.If you need help with your homework or need practice for an upcoming test, feel free to contact me! I consider myself a very sociable and patient person, and hopefully I can help you to achieve your academic goals!

I have 3 years of experience as a math tutor, and I want to keep doing this as much as I can because I love being a good teacher and I enjoy making people more comfortable with math.

My goal is to have the student walk away from each lesson with something new! I want you to reach your personal goals as soon as possible so you can enjoy playing music the way that you've always wanted.I have played music for my entire life and come from a long line of professional musicians starting with my grandfather, who played with the legendary Rat Pack in Vegas. Music is my full-time job and I enjoy performing and songwriting every single day of my life! Sharing this experience is truly a blessing for me

I grew up in Los Angeles and moved to Nashville to attend Vanderbilt University, where I am currently a sophomore pursuing a bachelor of arts degree in Medicine, Health, and Society. Being a student, Ive understood the frustration of not knowing what to do or who to turn to in the moment I dont understand something. This feeling can be very disheartening, but having the right person to guide you can make all the difference. For struggling students, I want to be that person to help them reach their full potential. In high school, I tutored people (mostly high school students like myself at the time) within the community, and it was personally rewarding every time I saw a student gain confidence in their studies.I believe that learning should be enjoyable, comfortable, and productive for everyone. Because every person learns differently, it is important to decide what learning style suits each student best and to establish an environment where the student is comfortable to actively engage and ask for any help they need. Therefore, my teaching style is rather flexible, accommodating, and goal-oriented.I tutor many subjects ranging from English, math, Spanish, social sciences/humanities and test prep. I enjoy tutoring subjects within social sciences because I find them the most interesting to discuss, as well as test prep because it is very straightforward to teach. Outside of school and work, Im interested in art, music, fashion, photography and volunteering.

I hope to create an engaging and safe learning environment for all students under my care helping them to improve their academic achievement as well as their character.

My personal mission is to get students at the level they want to be in whatever subject they are struggling with so that their future opportunities are open and limitless. I used to struggle with learning materials on my own. What I found out was that having someone else to talk over materials made me feel not only more confident, but I also had a lot more fun learning. I wish to impart the same type of feelings towards my clients. Tutoring does not have to be a last resort when you are backed up against a wall. Tutoring is a great way to supplement your learning and get ahead.

I believe learning should be exciting! I want to help students understand the material and develop a genuine interest in education through engaging tutoring sessions.
