...high school students preparing for the Georgia High School Graduation Test and coordinated the student workers in the Office of Admission at Sarah Lawrence College. My favorite subjects by far are History and Religion (obviously, or I wouldn't be getting my PhD in Religious History), but I also have a background in literature, writing, and even some performing arts. I have a passion for higher education that is best reflected in my experience in undergraduate...

...Letters and a Spanish minor. I studied abroad in Chile from 2009 to 2010, where I first started giving private instructions in English. After graduating from the university, I worked as an English instructor at the University's Center for English as a Second Language (CESL), where for three years I taught academic reading and writing, communication skills, and standardized exam preparation. I enjoy tutoring, and have experience giving private instruction in English reading, writing, and...

...standards. As well as teaching, I have been a school Principal. Helping to make our educational system a viable part of student's lives has been a strong commitment for me and continues to be as I now move from the classroom into the student's home. I have a strong passion for mentoring youth and also helping parents to assist in the educational process of their children. So often all it takes is a one on...

...concept, theoretically and visually, then move into application and practice. I feel it is important for a student to understand why the concept is introduced and where we’re going with it, before they are able to fully apply it. That being said, practice is very important, especially with the more fundamental building blocks of computation and algebra. Outside of tutoring, I am a very busy guy with many hobbies. I am a performer in a...

...SAT. I love teaching struggling test takers how to view the SAT as an approachable, accessible set of riddles and games instead of as an intellectual brick wall. I firmly believe that the majority of people can find great joy in academics once they discover the individual approach that works for them. I see it as my job to help them find that path. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, rock climbing, running, travel,...

Some children have advanced beyond their school curriculum and are looking to advance past their classmates. I can help these children...

...thought much of it; I was just trying to help. Little did I know that this would translate into something much greater when I became a tutor. Never did I think a job would allow me to make such a big impact on students. Tutoring has become an important part especially since I have been studying Mechanical Engineering at the University of Southern California. What I enjoy most about tutoring is that I get the...

...writing skills, grammar, Spanish, and thesis-development. I have also given guitar lessons in the past to middle school students and still currently do for some high school students. Throughout my tutoring experiences, I have learned that students are in fact equipped with the skills and knowledge it takes to succeed, but most of them just need words of encouragement to unleash their full academic potentiality. I am here to help students develop the confidence they...

...have always had a passion for teaching. I knew I wanted to be a teacher when I was in kindergarten. I have been in the educational field for 25 years and I still enjoy helping students and seeing their a-ha moments. Outside of teaching or tutoring my passions are my children. My husband and I are very involved in their activities. We enjoy watching our high schoolers play volleyball and our youngest one play his...

My favorite disciplines -- languages, history, geography, and ecology -- are also my pastimes, as they reward me with a sense of wonder for the staggering diversity of human achievements and the rich beauty of the natural environment. I take pleasure in working as a tutor because it is an opportunity...
