...two Spanish-speaking countries, and I want to help students improve their Spanish skills so they can have similarly wonderful experiences abroad. Basically, I want to help students understand how these areas- English, Spanish, and even SAT subjects- can be interesting. I want to help find a way to make them apply to your life and make them fun for you to learn. I am originally from Indianapolis, IN, but after graduating from DePaul in Chicago,...

I'm a graduate of Binghamton University in New York State with a degree in English. I started tutoring while still in college, and I've been teaching ever since. After graduation I taught in four different countries: Reunion Island (where I learned to speak French), The Republic of Georgia, South Korea, and, of course, the United States. I specialize in English tutoring: writing, reading, ESL, literature, etc. I also teach French and the non-math sections of...

...I worked as a writing advisor for my university’s writing center. Our focus was on helping students to develop their skills while, typically, helping them work on specific assignments. From unpacking the assignment, to strategic pre-writing, to drafting and then peer and teacher review, I worked alongside students to create successful and positive experiences that encouraged experimentation and growth. As a tutor and teacher, I am adept at ensuring that learning goals are being met...

...in tutoring during my undergraduate studies at DU. I was a camp counselor with a summer camp for high schoolers. The camp focused on Chemistry and Math. Afterwards, I taught PCAT review classes. My personal tutoring style involves pieces of the Socratic method; I use questions and the student's knowledge of the subject to walk through a subject piece by piece. I am patient and always willing to approach a problem from a new angle...

...and positive feelings toward the subject, leading to improved grades and enjoyment at school. In my free time, I enjoy playing and recording music (cello, bass guitar, guitar, drums, and singing). Hiking and photography have been my latest hobbies. I have a broad range of recreational experience to draw from including rafting, motocross, mountain biking, rock climbing, jet skiing and snowboarding. I like to learn about a student’s hobbies and interests because it is a...

...teaching because it challenges me to think, to get excited about learning, and to empower other students with the confidence that they can accomplish anything if they work hard and believe in themselves. I believe that these are the things that make tutoring important. Long after someone may forget a math formula, or a historical event, or the correct grammatical use of a certain word, it is important to me that my students remember that...

...across the country on how to properly write news articles. As cheesy as it might sound, children are, in fact, our future. Becoming a tutor means helping future generations appreciate literature, understand history, and generate solid English writing skills. Every student is different. As a tutor, my goal is to ascertain each student's educational roadblocks and work with them individually to remedy these issues. I'm available to help students in English, writing, literature, and history....

...& Public Policy, and Journalism. Outside of academics, I love running hiking, snowshoeing, dog-walking, art, and traveling. I am always seeking new adventures and stories from other places and people. On a typical Sunday afternoon, you can find me drinking tea, listening to This American Life, or sketching a portrait of one of my friends. My teaching philosophy is simple: Education is at its best when learning feels useful, engaging, and empowering. Assignments and information...

...from the peers in our growingly competitive world. Aside from their usefulness, I enjoy these subjects because they allot students creativity. A dear teacher once told me that in writing, "2+2 = 3,4, and 5." I provide tools for my students to think critically but ultimately one question can be answered in several different ways. My style is 30% improvisation, 70% preparation. I like to be prepared with materials right away, but I like to...

...I unwind by playing piano, by doing crossword puzzles, or by traveling to destination with architectural or cultural differences. My most favorite place that I have visited is Italy, to which I hope to return. I have had the pleasure of swimming in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and in multiple lakes in various countries. After teaching, raising two children, and serving my community, I feel that I am an exemplary teacher, and have...
