I received a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from the University of Missouri and I'm currently pursuing a Master's degree in Social Work from Boston University. I tutor a broad range of subjects, but my expertise is in math and physics. My niche is working with students who have ADHD and I believe that my patient, positive, and firm approach to tutoring is what helps my students overcome their learning challenges.

I am a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh School of Law and a current PhD Candidate at Johns Hopkins University. I am working toward finishing my PhD in Political Science and am hoping to tutor student while I am in the final stages of my dissertation. While finishing my PhD, I have been teaching a variety of courses in American Politics, Constitutional Law, and legal theory. Beyond the classroom, I have worked with many students, helping some better understand the course materials, while working with others to prepare for standardized tests such as the GREs and LSATs. While I tutor in a wide range of subjects, I am most passionate about U.S. History and Government. I find that many students struggle with history and government in particular, and see it as a frustrating exercise in memorizing names and dates. In working with students, my goal is to dispel these notions, and to encourage and empower students, by showing them that the law is constantly written and rewritten, that political institutions are continually evolving, and that historical figures were dealing with the same issues and pressures that contemporary political actors face. I also have specific expertise in the area of legal writing which has aided me in preparing students for writing focused portions of standardized exams as well as improving their essay writing skills for high school and college courses. In my spare time I enjoy reading, crossword puzzles, running, rowing, and spending time with my wife and one-year-old daughter.
I am currently applying to MFA programs and working as a tutor in NYC. I went to Boston University where I studied Mandarin, Political Science, and East Asian Studies. After spending a lot of time in Shanghai and coming back to the US where I worked at a midsize marketing firm, I realized I am really most passionate about literature and reading. I left the marketing world to pursue academia and have been fully immersed in this world of learning and tutoring for over a year. Outside of Varsity Tutors, I also tutor an 11th grade boy several times a week in AP English and AP Biology. Personally, I also enjoy writing fiction, specifically short stories, and I play acoustic guitar.
I received my Master of Science in data analytics. I have helped students with questions about data science and statistics related projects for a year now. I enjoy problem solving and help with any data science and statistics related question using my skill set.
I'm a Boston University graduate with a B.A. in economics and history. I've tutored students in a wide range of subjects including world history, US history, macro/microeconomics, statistics, algebra, Spanish, and geography. Before becoming a tutor, I worked at multiple museums as a tour guide and class instructor. Everyone has subjects that give them more trouble than others, but I'm a firm believer that anything can be learned by anyone, and that learning is more about good habits and creative teaching techniques than it is about natural aptitude for a subject. I was personally able to test this idea when I changed my approach to learning Spanish after struggling for years in formal classes. After re-engineering my study strategy to complement my strengths and weaknesses, I was able to teach myself to be a fluent Spanish speaker in less than a year. With the lessons learned from this experience in mind, I seek to teach my students learning skills that help them get the grade they want in the short-term, but also prepare them to conquer future academic challenges in the long-term.
I love making information and knowledge accessible to learners of any age, and I believe students of every age can learn. I am passionate about teaching because there is so much wonderful and fascinating information available to us in any field a student might be interested in, be it math, science, English, American and European history, art, or another field.I received my Bachelor's degree in History from Brandeis University, and my Master's degree in Education from Boston University with a specialty in teaching English as a Second Language. As an ESL teacher, I met students from all over the world, including adult immigrants who were starting new lives in the United States. I also worked with students in every grade level of public school, from kindergarten to 12th grade. It was deeply rewarding to help immigrants to the U.S. learn the English language and adapt to life in their new country. I found that my ongoing curiosity about different fields of study and my knowledge of history made me a better ESL teacher. For example, if I couldn't think of a synonym for a word or concept, I could offer an example from history or art. My ongoing interest in history also helped me establish rapport with my students, as they were pleased that I knew something about their native countries.Many of my students of English as a Second Language had to take the SAT exam, so I branched out into tutoring for that test as well as other standardized tests. I know those tests are challenging, but I have helped quite a number of students improve their scores.Outside of teaching, my interests include classical and world music and dance, including classical forms of dance from India. I also love to cook, and am always trying new recipes. I look forward to meeting more wonderful students as I work for Varsity Tutors.
As a passionate educator with a Master's in Divinity from Boston University, I have over 5 years of tutoring experience across various subjects, including College English, ESL, and Psychology. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to explore their potential. I strive to connect with learners through engaging discussions and tailored lesson plans that meet their unique needs. Witnessing students grow in confidence and skill is incredibly rewarding, and I am dedicated to guiding them toward academic success. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading and exploring new ideas, which I believe enriches my approach to teaching.
Hi! I'm a fun-loving, creative writer with a background in teaching high school english literature and critical thinking. I've worked for years in copywriting and editing. I love to take a part text and discuss concepts from sentence structure and vocabulary to building a thesis for an analytic essay. I love working with students of all ages and will customize my lessons to the needs of my student. I approach all of my lessons with energy, passion and patience and would love to work with you!
I am a graduate of Boston University where I earned both my M.S. and Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering. Prior to that, I attended Tufts University where I earned my B.S., also in Biomedical Engineering. During my tenure at Boston University I was responsible for teaching two undergraduate level engineering courses, requiring me to teach in both large classroom and one-on-one settings. I am most comfortable teaching quantitative sciences, although I also have experience teaching standardized tests and more qualitative subjects such as Biology or Chemistry.I am a born and raised Bostonian, having grown up in Reading, MA. I am a proud product of the Massachusetts Public School system. I am a die-hard Patriots fan, as well as a Bruins season ticket holder. My other hobbies include computer hardware and software building/modding, reading, and playing sports.
As a member of the graduating class of 2021, I am a junior at Boston University and plan on attaining a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. I graduated high school as the top 10% in my class and with Regents Diploma with Honors. I started tutoring since I was thirteen years old and thus, I have experiences teaching adults and children from different age groups. I have taken math courses up to Calculus II and received A's in all the math courses I took. As a native Mandarin speaker as well as a past teacher's assistant in the language class, I learned to develop the most effective way to teach my native language to a student who is new to my language. I believe that education is the key to success, but a well-developed, trusting relationship between a tutor and a student can transform lives. I had helped a struggling high school student be college ready and pursued his parents, whose primary concern is academic, to allow him to continue to be the lead member of the basketball team in his school. In a large classroom setting, I intervened in bullying situations and ensured that every child feels welcome in the classroom. I serve as my student's friend, educator and mentor. As tutors, I believe that we not only need to give the students the knowledge they need, but also need to provide them a warm, welcoming environment that promote the learning process. In my free time, I enjoy giving back to my community. I volunteered at a dog shelter and read out loud picture books to kids with reading disability. I am also a dancer and an amateur photographer.
I graduated from Gordon College in 2010 with a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations. I focused on political relations in Europe and Latin America. After graduating, I received my Master's in International Relations, where I specialized in Spain-US relations. I have worked or interned for the Department of State, the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and two members of the United States Congress. I also had the opportunity to study at the University of Deusto in Bilbao, Spain, investigating international financial systems during the 2007-08 Financial Crisis. I had my first taste of teaching as an ESL volunteer as an undergraduate. I knew I had a passion for instructing; so while a student, I worked as a Teaching Assistant and later a Graduate Assistant for undergraduate courses. Don't let my Irish-American name fool you, I have worked in Spanish, French, and Catalan at the professional level. I plan to pursue a law degree in the near future. I bring eight years of research and writing and teaching in the US, Spain, Canada, and Chile, and I'm excited to bring my diverse background to the table in order to help you reach your educational goals.
My interests and academic skills have been numerous and varied over the course of my life and I have my parents to thank for that gift. The son of two educators, I learned at a very young age the value of study and aquired the tools necessary to perform well in most academic environments, as a reader, a writer, and a critical thinker. The skills of learning one subject can often help us learn others and it is my hope, as a tutor, that I can help you develop not just the knowledge you need but the skills to aquire such knowledge more easily. With these, and a few simple test taking tactics, you will gain confidence in your knowledge and your ability test well on these subjects.I have an MBA in public and non-profit management (same core work as an MBA + an extra semester and a half of non-profit coursework, so have been through the battery of courses to prepare and complete a management program. I was also a physics student for much of my undergraduate schooling, so I have a strong aptitude for maths and many of the sciences. If you are interested in tutoring in areas of business study (Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Economics, etc...), maths through pre-calculus, basic sciences, or test preparation in the ACT, SAT, GMAT or Praxis, I am a good fit for you. Happy learning!
I'm a graduate of Questrom School of Business at Boston University. I studied Finance and Accounting.
Throughout high school and college I've had the opportunity to tutor children of all ages and academic capabilities, ranging from kindergarten to college students. I graduated with a BA in English from Boston University Summa Cum Laude, where I also earned a place in the top 5% of my major. Writing is my passion, and I am eager to help every student improve his or her essay writing abilities. No matter what subject a student is interested in, the ability to write with clarity and logic is absolutely central to success. Each student also learns differently, and with the right teacher a student can learn in a manner that addresses individual needs. In addition to effective writing, I believe that developing individualized study skills, learning how to manage time and material, and maintaining an organized system of study is vital to succeeding in school. Even if a student is enthusiastic about his or her World History class, without the necessary study skills and an organized backpack of materials, things can quickly fall apart! The years we spend learning in school are the foundation of our careers and the rest of our lives; whether it be an issue with verbal, writing, test, or study skills, improving them with the help of a tutor will not only help the student succeed now, but will also generate success in the future.
I graduated from Boston University’s Creative Writing Program. Very soon after, I taught in the Humanities Division at Bradford College (1986-2000). While there, I directed the Center for Critical Discourse and taught critical inquiry, creative writing-poetry, American literature, and poetry as literature. After leaving Bradford I directed a bridge program at North Shore Community College (2000-2001); taught writing and poetry at Emmanuel College where I was also director of writing programs and led faculty development workshops (2001-2007); taught academic and creative writing at Virginia Commonwealth University (2007-2011); and directed the Writing Program at Bay Path College, while teaching writing and leading faculty development workshops (2011-2013). From 2013-2014, I taught academic writing at Quinnipiac University and at University of New Haven where I also facilitated faculty development workshops in writing and thinking. Currently, I am adjunct professor at MassArt, Boston.Recent books of poetry include Americana Prize Americana winner, my third book by The Institute for American Studies and Popular Culture, an institute committed to creative writers as creators of culture and recorders of crucial ideas and important cultural moments. Voyeur, Gival Press Poetry Award (Gival Press), and The Apple in the Monkey Tree (Codhill Press); chapbooks, Great Grandfather (Pudding House Press), Family Secret (Finishing Line Press), Hunting and Pecking (Ahadada Books), Rescue Lines (Right Hand Pointing), Phoems for Mobile Vices (BlazeVox) and Paideia (Aldrich Press).Recent prose scholarship has been published in Imaginary Syllabus, Anthology chapters, Palm Press, Journal of the Assembly for Expanded Perspectives on Learning, The International Journal of the Humanities, Fringe Magazine, Reconfigurations: A Journal of Poetry and Poetics, The Journal of Ecocriticism, and New Writing: The International Journal for the Practice and Theory of Creative Writing.
Life is an adventure. Sometimes it's exciting. Sometimes it's boring. But, life is for exploring what, who, and why you are becoming.
I recently graduated with my Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering from Tulane University. Prior to this, I received my Bachelor of Science from Boston University in Biomedical Engineering with a minor in Marine Biology. As a graduate student, I worked in a tissue engineering lab with the goal of advancing knowledge of current cell and tissue-based clinical therapies!I have a strong passion for learning about and teaching anything math or science related. These subjects are incredibly important in our everyday lives, and I can only hope to extend my passion and excitement to my students. I have a relaxed, hands-on teaching style with the belief that visual cues and plenty of practice involving real-life examples are both key to understanding a topic.Focus areas I enjoy teaching include biology, most levels of math, earth science, and engineering courses. I love working with students of all ages, and have a strong desire to help students succeed. In my free time I love to spend time with my dog, run, go to the beach, and try new recipes!
My name is Lynne Kang and I was born in South Korea and spent my childhood in Singapore before moving to the States for high school. In 2013, I moved back to Korea for my husband's work with my 3 kids. And after 9 years, I moved back to the States. I have over 20 years of tutoring experience in both South Korea and in the US.
I have been tutoring elementary and middle school students for a few years now.
I am a current PhD student in Molecular and Cellular Biology at Boston University. I moved to Boston in 2013 to pursue research with the Belfer Institute at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute after graduating with a B.S. in Biology and a minor in French from Allegheny College. Outside of my PhD work, I am an avid skier, runner, traveler and beach goer. My experience as a teacher spans from my responsibilities as a graduate teaching fellow in Instructional Biology at Boston University and my role as a research mentor of undergraduate students. I firmly believe that an effective tutor should be passionate, engaging and patient, as well as cognizant of the individual learning style of their student. As a strong visual learner myself, I appreciate the importance of tailoring individual lessons to complement a student's strengths. I am excited to work with you to achieve your academic goals!
I have taught first- and second-semester French to Boston University undergraduate students. I was the instructor of record for the class, and my students referred to me as either "Monsieur," or, inaccurately, "Professor." For two summers, I tutored Reading Comprehension. What makes me a great tutor is my passion for student success and my love for the subjects I want to teach. The diversity of my students has taught me to adopt a new persona to fit each particular student. Zany playfulness is often the best for younger students, a certain amount of sarcastic humor can help engage some disaffected older students, etc.
I've been teaching ESL for more than twenty years and have enjoyed it immensely. I've worked with students of all ages and from all over the world and, in all honesty, I can say that my students have been very pleased with my style of teaching as well as the personal interactions I have had with them.In addition to teaching, I have been a political activist and writer for most of my adult life.My wife and I are the proud parents of a recently turned 21 year old young man who is completing his junior year at Brandeis University.
I am a graduate of UC Berkeley where I majored in Molecular and Cell Biology, with an emphasis in Biochemistry. I am currently a graduate student at the Boston University School of Medicine, studying Biomedical Forensic Sciences. I love working with both younger and more experienced students in biology, chemistry, mathematics, and forensics. I am passionate about helping others achieve their fullest potential, and can cater to various learning styles!
I am here to help and tutor students with math, science, history, and web technology.
I have always been a motivated learner, and this has ultimately helped me to be a motivated teacher. By receiving a well-rounded education, I believe that a person is made more able to meaningfully interact with the world around them. Math and science help us to understand how the world works, while English and literature help us to communicate with one another both in the present and in the past, and history helps us to see where we, as a species, have come from. Education can help us to see beauty and value in the world around us and in the path that brought us here, but also to see the road ahead, how much work is yet to be done, and how we start to do that work. To me, nothing is more important than learning, growing as a person, and helping others to do the same.
I am currently an undergraduate student at Boston University studying Biomedical Engineering. I have a strong passion for the math and sciences and love sharing and passing this passion to others. I am a committed and dedicated student and tutor who believes that everyone possesses the ability to learn new things. I am a strong believer in adapting my teaching style to fit the needs of the student and how they learn best. I find it is easiest to learn when you are interested and engaged in a subject and that is what I try to teach. I have a strong desire to help others reach their full potential and help them find what they are interested in. In my spare time I enjoy being outdoors hiking, biking and playing sports.
Too much of life is learned through trial and error. While this way of learning develops resolve and resilience, it wastes our most precious resource: time.You are reading this because you believe that it is worth investing money to be taught something because it will save you time. I am here to teach you things in a no nonsense, no frills, results-oriented way. Trust that you and I have the same goal: seeing you succeed.I have tutored and mentored other students who have earned entry into Ivy League schools and top NYC public schools. I believe that doing well in school is not solely about the grades you make, but also about the hands you shake. In addition to teaching you trignometry, I will mentor you on how to approach school.My name is Alif. I work as a finance & risk consultant. I do not tutor for the money. I tutor to be surrounded by kids who are hungry to succeed.
I am a recent graduate from Boston University. I have been tutoring for over 4 years now, and have loved every moment of it. When I was 18, I lived in France for one year with a host family, and went to a French school in order to study the language, literature, grammar, art and history. I've continued my journey in learning French by continuing to read French literature, watch French movies, and stay in touch with friends in order to practice speaking the language.The four years I spent tutoring, I was working in Boston public schools where I gained extremely valuable experience teaching students of all levels. I'm passionate about learning and hope to make you feel passionate, too.
I graduated from Boston University as an economics major with minors in chemistry and biology. I have fulfilled every pre-med requirement and was a teaching assistant for Physics. I have personally tutored economics and organic chemistry to college students and nearly every subject to students in middle school. I plan on going to medical school in 2 years and am currently studying for the MCAT. My favorite subject to tutor is economics because it has so many applications to real life scenarios that are important to understand. Outside of Academia, I really like to play sports. In college I was on the club ski racing team as well as the club lacrosse team.
I am a recent mechanical engineering graduate student and I have a very strong background in mathematics. I received a perfect score on the math sections of the PSAT, SAT, ACT and GRE so I can certainly help you reach your goal on any standardized test of mathematics. In addition, I taught English as a second language to over one hundred students at a college in Taizhou, China prior to entering my graduate program in engineering, which helped me hone my teaching style in both ESL and Mathematics. I am a patient tutor who focuses on identifying the root causes of misunderstandings and correcting them so that the student can succeed in applying the learned concepts on new problems without my guidance.
For the last two years, I've helped students of all ages and levels strengthen their grasp on the basics of good writing. From improving simple structure and syntax to developing a personal voice to expanding vocabulary, I've developed exercises that run the gamut of grammar and mechanics. As a former journalist, I am meticulous to a fault with these elements, and take great pride in my ability to make any student's writing cleaner, tighter and grammatically correct. On the content side of things, I've worked with creative writing majors, teaching them the ins and outs of building narrative arcs, creating three-dimensional characters, setting scenes and twisting plotlines. Regardless of the assignment, if it's writing-based, the odds are good that I have experience helping a student improve in the same area.The ability to write with clarity and individuality is not easily obtained. It's a concrete craft as much as it is a way of thinking, and it embodies a skill that's as rare as it is undervalued. Sometimes it involves breaking the rules you have been taught. Often it involves scrapping your work and starting from scratch. But when you realize you've got it, you will know you have acquired a skill that will serve you well in almost any kind of college class and career. It's a concrete craft as much as it is a way of thinking, and a true hallmark of an intelligent mind. I take pieces of fiction and nonfiction, reportage and feature stories, classroom submissions and personal statements, and help students' instill in them the universal principles of good writing. I love my job; my enthusiasm for it is endless, because it's legitimately fun to me.But on a more normal level, I???m a sports and music buff who, thanks to TiVo, hasn???t missed an episode of Jeopardy in years
I am an experienced educator with a strong background in both the sciences and languages. I earned my bachelor's degree from Boston University, double-majoring in Biology (with a focus on ecology and conservation biology) and Hispanic Language and Literatures. I also hold a Master of Arts in Teaching in the Biological Sciences from Miami University. For over a decade, I was an international educator in Guayaquil, Ecuador. I taught English as a second language to students of all ages and led the natural sciences department for a large bilingual elementary school. I now teach middle school science at a private school in the U.S. I tutor a wide range of subjects, and I am passionate about helping students gain confidence in areas where they've struggled. I love seeing students begin to enjoy subjects they once found too difficult or tedious. My goal is to provide patient, personalized support that helps every learner recognize their strengths and build lasting academic skills.
I am a recent graduate from the Florida Institute of Technology where I earned my degree in Mathematical Sciences and STEM Education. I am working towards getting my Master's in Actuarial Science from Boston University. My student teaching internship was with a geometry class, and that also happens to be my favorite subject to tutor. I can also tutor algebra 1, pre-calculus, calculus 1, and other math subjects listed on my profile. I strongly believe that math is an integral part to becoming a well-rounded individual because it not only teaches concrete ideas, but it also teaches students problem-solving skills that can be applied to other disciplines as well. I am a former college softball player, and I have been involved with softball since I was 4 years old. Aside from math, I am a huge history buff. If i ever end up in the classroom, I know I will find a way to intertwine the two subjects.
I have many years of experience tutoring a variety of subjects in math and science with people of all ages. Ever since I was a peer tutor in my high school years, I realized I had a gift for explaining mathematical concepts to others. I am really good at bringing complex and abstract concepts down into a simpler framework for any individual to understand. I'm a fairly down-to-earth person and have been known to make learning math/science fun and interesting. I have a lot of patience and try my hardest to be conscientious of other's learning pace and feelings; I try hard to be a compassionate mentor!

Whether it be tedious SAT/ACT sections or intimidating college essays, I hope to make these seemingly difficult subjects a little less stressful for you! And remember: No question is ever a dumb question! I have been in you or your child's exact position and have been through nearly a dozen tutors in my academic career myself. I look forward to meeting you and making exams and essays a little easier for you as well!
I am a graduate of Boston University (BU) as of 2012, and I recently graduated from Tufts University in 2014. I have received my Bachelors of Science in Biomedical Engineering from BU, and I have earned my Masters of Science degree in the same field at Tufts. I currently work as a research scientist in Cambridge studying therapies for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease. My tutoring experience stems from my involvement in the National Honor Society at Xaverian Brothers High School where I tutored Freshman and Sophomore classes in our mathematics and science, specifically Algebra, Calculus and Biology. Furthermore, after being inducted in the Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society at BU, I led tutoring sessions specifically geared to Engineering principles such as mechanics, physics, and mathematics. As an engineer, my favorite subjects to study are High School to College Mathematics as well as the Sciences (Physics, Chemisty, Biology) because it gives the mind a great workout! I am a generally upbeat and motivated individual which is essentially translated to my tutoring strategies; if you can somehow make the subject engaging, the more chances the student will want to learn the material! I enjoy that "A-ha!" moment when the student fully and finally understands a concept! In my spare time, I am a competitive ballroom dancer, theater aficionado and a scientific researcher in biomedical engineering!
I am a recent graduate from Boston University. I graduated from Boston University with a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science. I enjoy helping students parse problems into manageable chunks and build confidence in approaching problems. I hope to be able to go above and beyond in ensuring that any confusions held by the student are addressed in full. The ability to think critically about problems is empowering, and I aim to instill this in anyone I may tutor. I am most passionate about tutoring programming. Previously, I have helped students solve difficult algorithmic problems through serving as an unofficial course assistant for the class. These problems are difficult and require a lot of complex logical thinking, which are best tackled as a team. For that reason, my tutoring philosophy centers around patience and a lot of hands on application of ideas. These two things are arguably the most important pieces to solving difficult problems. In my spare time, I enjoy going to the gym to lift and play basketball. I also enjoy 3D-modeling, as well as spending time outside with my friends.
I am a French teacher/tutor. I received my Master of Arts in Teaching Foreign Language (French) from Boston University. I have spent two years living in France as a student and as an English teacher. I believe my education coupled with my experience makes me a successful tutor.I have a BA from University of Massachusetts, Amherst in French and Francophone Studies and a Master of Arts in Teaching Modern Foreign Language (French) from Boston University. I have also spent an academic year abroad in Aix-en-Provence, France (2005-2006) and I have lived in Die, France teaching French at the local middle/high school teaching English.I love languages, culture, and people, so I encourage anyone interested in learning French to contact me.

Hello! My name is Sara, and I am a graduate of American University with a B.S in Biology. I will begin my program where I will receive my Masters in Medical Science at Boston University Medical School in the fall. I am originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where I began tutoring lower and middle schoolers in English, Maths and Science, and organizational and study techniques. In college, I worked as a supplemental instructor (SI). I held weekly review sessions outside of class and helped students prepare for tests, quizzes, labs, and pending homework assignments. I also worked with students in the local high school and college to develop personal statement ideas, how to write personal statements, and edit them.I love to use different strategies to help convey information and enjoy explaining topics in many different ways until something clicks. Working with students on educational topics is extremely important and crucial to understanding material. Still, I also think introducing new and upcoming study techniques can help make studying more fun and even easier to do! I believe learning should be engaging, fun and leave the student with new confidence in the material. I am excited and hope to show you when we work together how to bring joy to learning.
I'm currently a graduate student at Boston University getting my master's in Mathematics Secondary Education. I did my undergrad at West Virginia University, where I majored in History and minored in German and Math.I've had a passion for education since i graduated high school. During my gap semester, I worked alongside my high school statistics teacher in his math classrooms and fell in love! From there I tutored throughout college with a variety of organizations, working with at-risk high school students, university athletes, and students with disabilities.I enjoy tutoring math courses the most. I struggled with math in high school and got lots of help. Once I did, my confidence and interest grew to the point I studied it in college. So it's really rewarding for me to help others grow in the subject as well. However, I also enjoy tutoring history, German, and test prep as well.I believe in interactive education and hands-on experience, lots of doing and making. I also believe conversation reflects a deeper level of understanding of the material, so you can expect to be engaged in my sessions either by making or speaking.I look forward to working with you and getting to know you!
