I tutor AP Spanish Literature and Culture, Spanish 1, 2, 3 and 4, ACT Reading and Writing, and AP English Literature and Composition. I am most passionate about Spanish and English Literature.

...also comes from having grown up overseas in the Middle East in a bi-cultural household and having traveled extensively throughout my life. In addition to languages, I also have a strong Math and Business background due to my undergraduate studies.

...Instruction in English from University of Phoenix. My Bachelors Degree is in English from Lindenwood University. I was a high school and middle school teacher for ten years before moving to the college level. The favorite part of my job was (and still is) working one-on-one with my students. I believe students learn more when education can be tailored just to them and that cannot happen in an overcrowded classroom. I tutor students who wish...

...Even for those who dislike math, we will keep working until we find a way so you feel comfortable. I also tutor ACT. As a high school student, my score increased by 6 points, so I am eager to help others do the same. I see the test as a game, and you just need to learn the rules, making it possible for everyone to improve. In my free-time, I love being active. I play...

After I finished my degree(s), I taught elementary school in a regular classroom, then taught gifted classes to third through eighth graders, taught remedial reading, and then moved up to a position in the central office as a curriculum supervisor. I'm very experienced in helping students with organization skills and building their confidence. My favorite activities in my free-time are...

...Varsity Tutors. While I'm a very passionate student and have always enjoyed learning, I understand that sometimes there are subjects or tests that are JUST. HARD. When you come up against a subject that you struggle with, it's always a great idea to ask for help and that's exactly what I'm here to do. I appreciate that not every student learns the same way and I will do my very best to understand what works...

...taught rhetoric, composition, and literature courses at the post-secondary (university) level. I am currently completing a post-degree program at UMSL and will be certified to teach middle and high school English in December, 2014. I have tutored in college preparatory and 10th grade English classes at Soldan High School, and I have also served as a volunteer tutor at the International Institute of St. Louis, assisting high school students with English coursework. In addition, I...

...that teaching and learning happens on both ends. Just as the activity of teaching is not limited to the teacher, the activity of learning is not limited to the student. There is always an exchange between what the teacher and student have to offer. I believe it is best to show, rather than tell students how to work their way through the task at hand, whether it be a problem or a prompt. I know...

...3-4 years on a one on one basis. My tutoring style is based on consistent interaction and dialogue between myself and the student (I will not be lecturing for long periods!), with me asking questions to determine where the student is struggling, and how I can help them the most. I try to focus on core principles underlying the material which will enable someone to learn for themselves, and apply what they have learned to...

...I have also volunteered as a literacy advocate for Ready Readers and as a tutor for Girls Inc. In my free time, I like to read books, bake, and train for races; I recently completed my first half marathon! My approach to tutoring is recognizing that everyone has a different learning style. Experimenting with different approaches to learning, whether that be visual, auditory, or tactile- kinesthetic, enables the student to not only grasp the material, but...
