Hi! My name is Henry, and I currently study German and philosophy at Wheaton College. I am eager to help you grow in your knowledge and appreciation of French and German - my hope is that you will not only become proficient in your foreign language of choice, but that you will come to love it as well. To this end, my lessons engage all of your capacities to communicate: reading, listening, writing and speaking. As a continuing language-learner myself, I value trust and encouragement highly. I look forward to meeting with you!

I'm a lifelong learner and love helping others learn! I've often been complimented on my communication skills and problem-solving creativity, which I use in finding the best way to help each student I tutor to grasp material and retain it, as enjoyably as possible. Learning should be fun! Sometimes that can take some encouragement for a student who is struggling, and encouragement is another one of my gifts which I delight to employ.As far as experience, I have worked as a tutor for four years, back when I was in college. I've also done some training in the business arena. Since I was a teenager, I have worked with children in various capacities including teaching Sunday School. In spite of a fun personality (and being told I look much younger than my 40-some years) I am also skilled at keeping students on track and focused in order to make the most productive use of our time.Relevant skills and attributes include being easy to work with, reliable, friendly, patient and kind. I genuinely care about the individual learners I have the privilege to work with and persevere until we see the level of success the learner wants to reach, celebrating the signs of progress along the way!

I work both professionally and personally to stimulate curiosity and creativity in the hearts and minds of young people who are able to see that spark and run with it.

Hi! I'm an undergraduate of senior standing at Wheaton College majoring in Economics and minoring in Urban Studies. My favorite tutoring experience was with Concordia Language Villages, teaching Japanese every day for a four-week program. Combined with teaching Japanese entirely in the Japanese language, my teaching methods focused on interactive activities and applying learned knowledge through fun games and practicing the content to retain understanding.My teaching philosophy is that while every student is different, requiring unique lesson plans and teaching styles, everyone can greatly improve with some guided effort. Encouragement goes a long way!Outside of tutoring and school, my hobbies include piano composition, reading Japanese books and travelling across the world. I look forward to connecting with you!

I believe that a combination of patience, humor, and enthusiasm is the best way to overcome educational roadblocks. I strive to lessen any fears and negative associations students might have with a given subject. I want my determination to work hard to be an example for my students. I graduated from Wheaton College with a degree in Music History with a minor in Mathematics. I have a track record of excellence in academia overall, and have done well in math courses well beyond calculus. I have tutored mathematics and taught voice lessons on a freelance basis for the past year. I have enjoyed the experience of helping students achieve their goals. Over the summer, I helped an adult student dramatically improve her math skills on very short notice, which allowed her to pass a job-related math test.

I graduated with my Bachelors in Psychology and Child Development in 2019, and I received my Master of the Arts in Clinical Psychology in August of 2021. I am currently a doctoral student in clinical psychology with an emphasis on child/adolescent mental health. I love working with kids of all ages, and have had several opportunities to work as an individual tutor, helping a third-grade child with homework, and as a teaching assistant during undgrad. I additionally have had opportunities in graduate school to continue doing informal tutoring and have served as a TA for a lifespan and development course.

I recently received two degrees from Wheaton College, a B.S. in Environmental Science and a B.A. in International Relations. Through my experiences, I have developed a love for education. I am currently a Middle School science teacher in the Kansas City area. I first began tutoring while I studied abroad in Thailand. I developed personalized English language programs for Thai graduate-level students. When I returned to the United States, I taught refugee fifth grade boys in all subjects for a year. I have tutored middle school and high school students in Geometry, Algebra, Writing, and Chemistry. And I have tutored college students in Biology. For tutoring, I create personalized study strategies based on a student’s strength and weaknesses. I work interactively to encourage independence and critical thinking. I believe that all students can attain academic success if equipped with the proper tools, work ethic, and self-knowledge.

I am currently an undergraduate student at Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois. I am pursuing a bachelors degree in elementary education with teaching endorsements in ESL and Mandarin. In high school, I tutored elementary school students in various subjects such as reading, writing, and piano. Oftentimes, I tutored in 2 languages: English and Mandarin because I was living in China. When I entered college, I tutored at an after school homework club at Lowell Elementary School in Wheaton. Most of the students came from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds. I was able to learn how to adapt to their learning needs in science, reading, writing, social studies, and spelling. Due to this experience, I decided to attain teacher licensure endorsements in ESL and Mandarin. During this past fall, I teacher aided a fourth grade class at Bower Elementary School. I taught social emotional learning to the whole class. In addition, I worked with students who needed extra assistance in math and reading. These diverse experiences have helped me to develop a passion in tutoring elementary school students primarily in reading and writing. I have especially enjoy sharing and learning cultural experiences from students who come from immigrant and refugee families.I believe that providing widespread educational opportunities for every child is crucial. One of my professors at Wheaton College once said, "Teaching is the profession that makes all things possible." This strongly shows that teaching or tutoring students can navigate them to pursue their passions and talents in ways that suit their experiences and personalities. Without strong support in guiding students, students will not be able to impact the society in unique ways.In my spare time, I enjoy using my passion for languages and diversity to engage in bilingual (English/Mandarin) conversations with friends. I also enjoy reading historical fiction novels and playing classical music on the piano.

I have worked with a diverse group of students, and I have always enjoyed watching them improve and succeed no matter their original ability level. My experience is primarily with grades 7-9 in the classroom setting, but I can also work with older or younger students. I specialize in English, but I can also do test prep, specifically for AP exams and the reading and writing portions of the SAT and ACT. I have a BA in English from Wheaton College (IL), and an MS in secondary education from Johns Hopkins.

I am a recent graduate of the University of Notre Dame, IN, where I earned my doctoral degree in contemporary American poetry. Before that I earned my masters in English at Wake Forest University, NC. I am passionate about poetry, writing, and the English language, and dedicated to helping others understand and achieve competence in the writing process. I have taught college-level composition courses, as well as a poetry course, and have tutored at Wake Forest University's writing center for two years, and therefore have experience in coaching students at different skill levels through many stages of the writing process, including formulating arguments, brainstorming ideas, handling grammatical issues, finding sources for research, and revising essays. I continue to enjoy meeting students where they are and walking with them through the learning process. We are all students of language; I find a deep satisfaction in enabling others to become great students.

I am an organized, reliable, engaging teacher/tutor with a passion for Spanish and English!I majored in Spanish and Business Economics at Wheaton College (Illinois). Because I have studied Spanish for over 10 years, I know the ins and outs of the grammar for every level, whether that's middle school, high school, or college. I worked as a Spanish tutor my Senior Year of college, during which I aided college-level students with their various questions and doubts in their Spanish classes. After graduating from Wheaton College, I lived in Cusco, Peru for 2 years, which really helped me to implement the grammar I had learned for so long in conversation and in everyday life. Most of all, I just love the Spanish language and any opportunity to be involved with it!I also obtained my TEFL certification from Máximo Nivel in Cusco, Peru. I then worked for 9 months as an ESL teacher, educating Spanish-speaking adults and teenagers, ranging from beginner to advanced levels. I also served as the Assistant Academic Director for 2 months during my time as a teacher there.Language is one of my passions, and I think being passionate about the subject is an essential part of being a teacher/tutor. I love the process of helping students increase their language ability and I love seeing their confidence grow as they learn new elements to Spanish or English. My favorite part about tutoring/teaching is creating an environment where students can realize that learning a language can be very fun!In addition to language, I have a love for tennis, hiking, all things outdoors, salsa dancing (which I picked up in Peru), ping pong, mystery novels, and movies.I would be honored to have the opportunity to walk with you in your Spanish or English education!

I am a native of Port au Prince, Haiti, where I completed all my classical schooling (from grammar school to high school) and some college in French. I immigrated to the U.S. in 2006 to further my studies. When I am not at work or some other engagements, you will find me playing with my two-year old daughter and my six-month old son, or going on a walk with my wife (and the children), or hanging out with friends. When I am alone, you will find my eyes riveted on a TV or computer screen or, better yet, a book. Although I am no philosopher by any stretch of the imagination, I enjoy deep thinking, especially on philosophical matters. That constitutes most of my quiet moments in life.Languages and people are my passion. I speak four living languages and I am proficient in two dead languages. Few sights bring me more joy than seeing a person learn and grow. I hold a MA in Biblical Exegesis (Ancient Greek and Hebrew Interpretation) from Wheaton College, Wheaton, IL and a BA is Pastoral Ministry from Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, IL.I believe every person can learn any language he or she desires. Therefore, I tutor with one conviction--what stands between a student and his or her target language is a tutor who listens and taps into the student's dominant learning style. Because (in my view) motivation and passion drive learning, rather than focusing on weaknesses, I emphasize the student's strengths. I have seen students who were struggling in learning French obtain an A at the end of the same semester. I have also helped others gain a passion for the language while showing slow but steady improvement in learning it.No matter where you stand in your learning journey, it is my pleasure and honor to serve as your guide and ensure that you reach your goal.
