I speak English and Spanish fluently, and am self-teaching Quechua. From undertaking the International Baccalaureate program in high school, through my graduation (with honours) from the University of Connecticut, to my current master's program, I have a solid and multifaceted background in the social sciences and history.

I have been teaching and tutoring for over twenty years and love working with students of all ages. Specialties include application essays, creative projects and enrichment, reading and writing support, academic writing, grammar and editing, and journalism.

...just graduated from college where I studied to become an elementary school teacher. I am currently certified in New York State to teach children from birth through 6th grade.

I'm an engineering student with a rich background in public speaking and natural sciences willing to help anyone interested in expanding their knowledge of any subject. I understand that a conventional or traditional approach is not always the best means for learning.

...and can give the "ah ha" moment all learners love. I am curious and eager to learn from the students as much as they are. I think bringing the perspective of a student to tutor other students (although at a different stage) allows for more of a connection to be formed and perhaps can help facilitate the ease of understanding topics. Outside of academia, I love biking, cooking, and playing with my cat! I am...

...in pure Mathematics (MAT). I have always been interested in helping students learn Mathematics in particular because the classical way of teaching is about solving problems and not about why it is so interesting. I'm interested in mathematics because I would like to put an emphasis on the mathematical structures that frame problems. I believe that if you have the full picture, it would actually make problems easier to solve! Last semester I was a...

...to start my own English center and social enterprise here in Laos with my husband. When I was younger, I always dreamed of being an art teacher. Although it is not as useful a subject in my current location, it is one I'm very passionate about. I think art is an incredible form of expression and with more or more opportunities to earn money online through creative media, it's a great way to get a...

...many places and been around many cultures so I feel this has made me a stronger teacher. I like to push my students while tutoring, but I like to make sure my student feels comfortable and are not afraid to ask questions if they are unsure of something. It is normal for children to struggle and often times they are not comfortable asking for help. In my spare time I love to travel, read, and...

...love to explore different economic journals to get a head start on my academic career. I enjoy teaching other students because it helps them succeed in their studies. It also helps me learn things that I may not have come across before. I competitively play chess and am a part of the badminton club at my university. I think it is very important to stay well-rounded in life, so I take great interest in subjects...

...wonderful math teacher who allowed students, once they had finished their practice sets, to help others. I learned then that I had a knack for helping others understand math concepts. I did some tutoring in college and after graduation worked for several tutoring organizations before becoming an actual classroom teacher with Teach For America. Being in the classroom had its challenges and I realized I am more suited to one-on-one interaction with students where I...

...made many technical presentations about "leading edge" software, and so became skilled at explaining complex concepts. My work in QA reinforced my obsession with quality and gave me a good eye for seeing and diagnosing errors, which applies to student errors and misunderstandings. I have tutored on and off since my college days, in math, science and ESL. I approach tutoring with a positive attitude, a good ear for listening, patience, respect, and humor. I...

...school. Based on my own experiences, I recognize how important it is to form a relationship with the student to where they are comfortable with seeking assistance and communicating their feelings and frustrations with me. Once a rapport is established, I'm able to identify the students' disconnects and convey the confusing concept or strategy in a new and understandable way. My goal is to help students develop a love of learning, and I seek to...

...general, special and gifted education. I have an abundant background in and outside of the classroom working with students of all ages and ability levels. Over the years I have been a substitute and math/reading elementary school teacher, homeschool/at home instructor, private tutor, camp counselor and director.

I have a Bachelors of Science in Chemistry from Western Kentucky University. I also have a Masters of Science in Chemistry and a PhD in Chemistry from The Ohio State University with an emphasis in analytical chemistry.

...me. With these as my basic reasons for being an educator, it has always given me a tremendous satisfaction each time my explanation makes my students understand a math concept, the light lit up in their heads, and their eyes glow with that radiant confirmation of the knowledge they have newly acquired. I guess that is what all true educators live for judging from my experience within a couple of decades during which I have...

...as a tutor. I started tutoring when I was in the sixth grade, and I now work with students from grades six through college. I also teach SAT and ACT preparation courses. While my favorite subject to teach is Social Studies, my Math and English students have gone on to great success as well. I know that every student has a unique learning style and success is often a matter of finding the right motivation....

...behind in a class or want some extra time with a subject. I love learning and I want to help other students feel the same way.

My goal for every session is that every student comes away with a better understanding of the material. I did my BS in Mathematics, and Finance and a minor in Economics. While those subjects may sound daunting, I know that any concept can be understood with right explanation.
