...NY. As of now, I work multiple jobs mostly in education and tutoring. For starters, I have been tutoring since June 2013. I work with a group of students that are widely diverse in age, grade level and subject difficulty.

...teacher in both elementary and special education. I work with many students who are struggling with reading and math. Tutoring should be a fun experience in which the student feels comfortable in the learning process.

It was an incredible feeling to coach students through this test and watch their scores climb. I...

...some cases literature classes as well. I have tutored students, including some non-native speakers, who struggled with essay-writing and grammar, syntax, and usage issues.

...my students-students of all ages and abilities. While I tutor in a wide variety of subjects, I especially enjoy math and writing skills. Math was always one of my favorite subjects in school, and I enjoy the process of communicating those concepts to students.
