...world that comes with complications that I might never be able to imagine. They also come with perspectives and insights that are unique, which allow them to see each problem from different points of view. I believe that as someone seeking to help others in their studies, and as someone who understands that our lives do influence and interfere with our studies despite our wishes, I take a somewhat holistic approach to tutoring. That is...

...Venezuela and start to teach teenagers at different public High Schools where I got the passion for teaching and help students to achieve their goals learning a foreing language (Basic English and French) according to their needs and interests because through them the students will be able to develop the target language skills.

...enabling me to push each child to his or her fullest potential. I am a strong believer that individualized instruction is the key ingredient to academic success. When I am not in the classroom, I am either listening to music, watching a Yankee game, reading, or am found guilty of online shopping. However, I try to incorporate my hobbies into my classroom as often as possible! This makes learning math, or any subject for that...

...I am also passionate about any medium of art, and believe it to be vital to the upbringing of young minds. My teaching philosophy consists of creating a judgement-free learning environment, where the student is encouraged to ask whatever questions may come without worrying about not fitting the very narrow standards of what a "good student" sounds like. I believe learning minds need their content to be presented in a way that is personal to...

I look forward to working with you and your kids!... There is absolutely nothing...

...I spent a summer in Kenya working with children through a local orphanage. I love English, reading, writing, and math most, but I am passionate about seeing students excel in all subjects. Oddly enough, I have always enjoyed standardized tests and love seeing students become comfortable with the form. I believe that learning is almost always a matter of crafting things that we already know together into new formats, and I love coming alongside students...

Trained in the social sciences and humanities, I am well-equipped to help students achieve their academic goals. I customize my tutoring to each student's personal needs and encourage them to practice critical thinking skills that help them achieve their personal and professional goals.

...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. When I'm not teaching, my favorite thing to do is read to my own children.

...in life. During my career as an educator, I have been nominated and received the John LaSalle Teacher's Award. I also have instructed many students in acquiring their General Equivalency Diploma (GED). The joy that teaching brings me is only a small part, but when a student learns, that is the true reward. These are a few of my quotes used daily in my teaching practice: Positive Energy=Success Patience is a virtue! Learning is Fun!...

...all levels and disciplines. During my semester abroad in Costa Rica, I volunteered with an English teacher at a local elementary school, helping 3rd and 5th graders with English grammar and sentence writing. Throughout my educational career, I have had experience with numerous writing modes, such as personal narratives, argumentative essays, lab reports, scientific literature reviews, resumes/cover letters, and college/graduate school admissions essays. I have almost 4 years of experience mentoring prospective college students, helping...

...especially biology, because I think it is exciting and has many applications in life. My tutoring style is to explain each step so that students learn why they are doing each particular part of the problem, and can apply that knowledge to other problems. I think understanding problems, not memorizing them, aids in learning. I have led many study groups for peers and I coach high school volleyball players in my free time. Additionally, I...

...My passion lies in science, and I take pride in making learning fun and comprehensive. Likewise, I love to find the passion within all my students, and find ways to relate those passions back into our lessons.

I focus primarily on math and science topics, but am also able to help with essay...

I am a recent graduate of Columbia University, a certified high school social studies teacher, and your next tutor!

...finally get something, a new path opens to them and a new possibility appears. In my tutoring, the basics are emphasized. The basics are the foundation to understanding bigger and more complicated concepts. Without them, learning becomes a struggle. With them, it can be fun and easy. And when something is fun, students want to do more. It no longer is a fight to do assignments or practice. Practice is also key in my tutoring....

...often help a student, if they are open to it. By "collaborative", of course I play the role of "guide" through this journey. You could say, I have the map, but together we decide which might be the best route to take. This reminds me of times when I literally have taught students how to use a map. There are always many choices of how to get from point A to point B. The question...

...that encouraged me to continue doing what I love for the rest of my life, which is anything art related. I would also love to encourage kids of all ages to have fun with art because it is an amazing way to learn about the world, as well as creatively express ourselves. I have three years of experience as being a camp counselor and I have always had so much fun talking to children because...

...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 outside my field of study. These include mathematics, political science, history and physics.

...Spanish and English. I graduated from Villanova University and am starting my MA in Spanish at Middlebury College. I studied for eight months in the beautiful city of Madrid, Spain. I have tutored students in Spanish at the middle school, high school and undergraduate levels. My approach is explicit instruction and drills combined with practical conversation so students can get comfortable speaking and using the language. I truly enjoy helping my clients learn, practice, and...

...a variety of needs. I have also taught adults about writing and creative non-fiction. I have strong background in literature and enjoy being able to help people engage with texts and create strong essays. I am firm believer that every person benefits from individualized instruction and I have made it a point to never teacher two people the same way. In my spare time I enjoy reading, writing, and hanging out with my pet.
