...am most passionate about Latin, European History, and anything to do with grammar! My teaching style is fluid; I like to incorporate other disciplines so that I can help my students develop their weaknesses by playing to their strengths. I believe strongly in the value of a liberal arts education, and I hope I can inspire students to think about how all academic subjects relate to each other. When I'm not working, I enjoy reading,...

In my experience, the most effective tutoring occurs when the student can connect one of their interests and the subject matter, in order to make the subject less intimidating and more fun.

My students have included elementary school students just barely gaining an appreciation for reading, first year college students seeking assistance in essay writing, and adult learners wishing to advance their reading skills after years of struggling.

...is good at everything, and sometimes all it takes is an outside push, or someone to explain the issue a different way. Tutoring can provide that missing element -- whether it's a sudden "I get it!" moment or a more gradual path to understanding. As for me, I graduated from Macalester College, a well-known liberal arts school in the Midwest, where I majored in political science. I have had the pleasure of working with kids...

...one interactions, and I know so many students can benefit by individualized attention. I hope to teach by example, to provide clear and simple explanations for complex concepts, and to be able to review and give advice as quickly and thoroughly as possible.
