...as a second language and at the university undergraduate level in English and in Russian. I have, in addition, occasionally taught on a graduate level. I have experience with all kinds of learners and the challenges they face. As I get to know students, I try to adjust my approach to provide a combination of teaching content along with personalized strategies to master the material. Especially with younger students, I like to include humor and...

...have to say I am most passionate about ecological subjects and have a lot of fun with ESL. It is extremely satisfying to see someone grasp a concept they have been struggling with.

My teaching philosophy is to facilitate active client...

I try to make tutoring as productive and fun as possible.... In a first session I would try to find out the student's goal and assess what their current strengths and weaknesses are in regard to that goal.

My purpose in tutoring is to use my finance degree, experience as a stock broker, and also my personal research of economic theory to enhance the understanding of my students pertaining to various aspects of economics and finance, as well as business in general.

...My approach to teaching is NOT the traditional academic approach. I treat my students, no matter their age, like WRITERS, and teach them what I've learned from other writers. Great writing is great storytelling, and anybody with the will to improve and grow can learn the skills that great writers use to keep reading turning pages. Grammar and sentence structure are important because readers expect a writer to communicate well, so I include that in...

...Charts and data visualization I also love Economics, the science of choice. Economics as an academic subject, I have found, is rooted in taking time to fully absorb concepts so that when test time comes around, there isn't much thinking involved and the answers come almost automatically. I also specialize in successful study habits and test-taking practices, keeping in mind that Economics is fun! Other topics I tutor are: History, Writing, Anthropology, and Music Appreciation...

...passion for teaching and mentoring people. I discovered my gift of teaching in high school through the feedback of my peers after I would explain hard concepts in simple ways. The more I taught people, the better I got at explaining difficult concepts in easily digestible ways.

...strategies when teaching my different students. I incorporate positive reinforcement both verbally and with visual (digital) rewards as students progress through their tutoring sessions. Both internal and external motivators can help students to learn! Each child is different and therefore learns differently. We all have our strengths and weaknesses.
