I am a responsive and talented educator offering tutoring to middle school, high school, and undergraduate students in the Humanities. I am a certified teacher with nearly 15 years of classroom teaching and tutoring experience and a Master's in Secondary Education. My favorite subjects to tutor are World History, U.S. History, Reading, Writing, Literature, and Spanish I. I always make learning relevant to my students' lives and approach each lesson as a shared learning experience for us both.

I am a graduate of The University of Texas in San Antonio. I received my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with a focus in Athletic medicine. Since graduation, I have worked as a substitute teacher for 2 years.

I am a huge component of constant feedback. A session may be wasted if feedback is only provided in the last five minutes. For this reason, I would help students stay motivated by maintaining a conversation over the material and relating to other interesting aspects of their life.

I am incredibly proud that I am a part of this process, and that my students will grow to pass on their own knowledge to others in a never-ending chain. In my spare time, I enjoy reading science fiction and fantasy novels, cooking, playing games (both board games and video games), and modifying my car.

Upon returning to the United States, I worked for a hip new language school in Brooklyn teaching Spanish, French, and Arabic. I love sh...More

I am passionate about knowledge - both acquiring it and imparting it. I have served extensively as a teacher and tutor in the classroom, in one-on-one or small group settings, and even abroad. I went to a private liberal arts school for my undergraduate degree, where I learned the value of a well-rounded, dynamic educational approach which I bring to all of my studies and teaching. I have taught and researched in a range of areas but for the last three years, my particular focus has been on Clas...More

Throughout my college experience I tutor a variety of students from my university, and help them learn and improve their Spanish language.

I am a firm believer that education is necessary for an improved quality o...More

I am most fond of languages, literature History - there's just so much humanity and adventure and passion and awesomeness and...we'll you catch my drift :) I have taught and tutored children as young as 5 up through college aged folk as well. My parents are both professors so I guess I was bitten at an early age with the education bug. Like them, I think that the keys to unlocking the most fruitful learning experiences are: Patience, Passion and Listening - on the both the part of the student an...More
