I'm a great tutor because I'm a great listener with 10+ years in language education. I am a certified and accredited language coach; my approach prioritizes facilitating the learner's independent growth and psychological homeostasis. My students and coachees always feel respected because I nurture their learning process and provide clear guideposts of what to expect at every step of the lesson. This both motivates the learner toward a clear goal and reduces their anxiety.

I also know that students have different brains that respond to different methods, and I optimize the student's learning styles to accelerate their learning process. For example, I incorporate music and film when I know it can expand the technical into the real. This allows the student to attach schoolwork to real life as it is experienced by native speakers of the target language.

In all English and History-related subjects, I use my knowledge and deep love for world history and literature to encourage focused research. I couple this with contextual information. Again, if a student can learn the greater importance of an event or of an author's main argument and styles, they learn more than basic information to repeat in a test: they begin to master the information and use it to approach new material with greater preparedness. I always want the learner's outcome to be a compoundable skill.

For students learning to read and write better, I believe it's all about structure. There are simple constructs of idea, speaker, and audience that must be conveyed in an essay. An author utilizes these same focal points to craft a powerful written work. When an assignment comes along, the anxiety to perform that it creates can nullify the student's mastery of these three basic ideas. My job as a tutor is to teach that structure and allow the student to see how easy it can be to efficiently put their thoughts on paper.
