...After getting my master's, I joined Teach For America and taught high school English for two years. Most recently, I taught composition and developmental English at Penn Valley Community College. My approach to tutoring is non-directive. I ask questions to help guide students to answers, which helps them practice critical thinking skills and deduction, rather than rote memorization. Overall, this leads to a greater understanding of concepts and a better ability to recall information and...

...also got minors in Psychology and Anthropology. I tutor any subject area in elementary, middle school, or high school science, as well as select areas of college science (see my subject list).

I love to build on strengths and use highly engaging texts, activities, and manipulatives to keep students on track for their learning goals!...

...Along the way I have travelled in Africa and Latin America, lived in Mexico--where I studied as a Fulbright Scholar--and in Canada, where I taught at McGill University. I started teaching test-prep classes (GRE, LSAT, SAT, and GMAT) twenty years ago and have taught for several national companies. Teaching these classes has always been immensely gratifying due to the satisfaction of helping students prepare for and meet career goals. I particularly enjoy teaching the more...

An energetic, ambitious, responsible and intelligent individual who has developed a mature and responsible approach to any tasks undertaken. Experienced, creative, adaptable and bright individual with an excellent motivation towards learning and helping others. ... I have two teaching philosophies as a tutor: to get students to think about science (and other classes) as a process, and to individualize their learning experiences....

...their students trump others. Success does not equate to winning; it is not the complete absence of failure. On the contrary, success is a measurement of progress contingent on each individual's goals, capabilities, and determination. Understanding success as the final product, therefore, is an absurdity. Let us consider a hypothetical: One of my students takes what she learns from her tutoring sessions over macroeconomics and lands a six figure job as a Market Research Analyst...

I work to give all of my students the tools and strategies they need to be successful. As an experienced music teacher, this means developing critical listening and practice skills. For test takers, this takes the shape of understanding test and question format, strategies for breaking down complex material, and educated guessing. My goal is to make the test work for the way you think, and I excel in creative ways to relay this information.

...math, and I thought I would want to be a teacher, in a nice school, with a nice class of students, but the big groups are not for me. I much prefer that the one on one style of teaching.

This extends to my personal life as well. I love the out of doors! I live in the country and love to hike through the woods. I consider myself an amateur birder. I swim and ride bikes and garden. Really,...

I think that in order to teach someone you have to figure out how they learn. I've been tutoring for about 4 years and I love it!... Everyone learns in different ways and at different speeds. To really help someone learn, you have to figure out what works best for them.... During the first tutoring session with a new student, I like to get to know a little about them, find out where they think they...

...and poetry and writing stories. I see it as a personal challenge to share my love of all things English Language Arts with my students because I know so many students find that topic boring or difficult. I am a firm believer in meeting students where they are and helping them grow and learn in the best way possible for them. Everyone learns differently and that's okay! In my spare time, I like to garden,...
