...student enrolled in the Linguistics program at Boston University. I am a life-long lover and learner of language and hope to share my passion for the languages I have devoted much of my time and career to, Spanish and Japanese.

...I am currently seeking a Masters of Social Work at Smith College in order to compliment my existing teaching experience. I have worked with math, science, humanities, and English.

I enjoy working with people from a wide variety of educational...

...who is eager to learn and help others. I am interested in community engagement and outreach, and in the past I have volunteered with many organizations that focused on teaching and tutoring children. I was a peer tutor for three years during high school in the subjects math, latin, and science, and I tutored middle school children in various subjects for two years during high school as well. Thank you for reading, and I look...

...my organizational skills and determination, give me a distinct advantage in getting through to my students. I am ready to be there for my students as a dedicated, compassionate, and reliable tutor. I'm still a student myself, so I understand how frustrating and tedious learning can be. That said, learning doesn't have to be tedious or frustrating. As your tutor, I'll do my best to make our lessons both enjoyable and effective. Thank you for...

...the honors program at Emerson College. At Emerson, I have achieved a 3.97 GPA and joined the prestigious Gold Key Honor Society. In addition to my academic pursuits, I have worked for companies such as Society for American Baseball Research (SABR), NBC Universal, and Red Wagon Entertainment. Recently, an essay I wrote was featured in the textbook Writing: Ten Core Concepts by Robert Yagelski (2014) as an example of exemplary student prose. In my free...

...and engaging ways. For instance, while tutoring adolescents enrolled in the Boston-based Artists for Humanity program, I would often teach students whom I had never worked with before, and thus became adept at quickly discovering and implementing the strategies that worked best for a particular student (e.g., visual/tactile examples, analogies, and breaking down complex problems into smaller parts). While tutoring a janitorial staff member in preparation for the mathematics portion of her GED high school...

...senior years. I was qualified to tutor a wide variety of subjects, anywhere from chemistry to oceanography. I was the only tutor for biostatistics, a notorious class at my university. I am a big fan of the Socratic method. I believe all students have the ability to come up with the answers, they just need to know where to look. I hope, through my methods, I help students learn skills to improve their academics in...

...study these fields. While at the University of Maryland, I worked as an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant in Applied Econometrics, a quantitative economics course. In this role, I hosted group review sessions, one-on-one tutoring sessions, and helped students through any and all of their challenges related to the course. I also had opportunities to tutor through school and work with kids outside of school, and am excited to continue that on this platform!

...those that I didn't nominally teach, such as history, French, English, and Algebra II. In this capacity, I worked with approximately twenty students outside of my official classes. This taught me to get to know kids' learning styles and difficulties quickly. In my work as a chemistry teacher, chemistry TA, and math CA, I was required to both run study sessions and grade. This taught me to use assignments to assess students' progress as frequently...

...get to know each one of my clients on an individual basis. With that information, I can then structure and tailor each session in order to build upon the student's strengths as well as help develop areas of difficulty. Learning should (and can) be fun! As a classroom teacher, I strove to challenge, support, nurture and foster a love for learning in my students. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

I'm here to help you get a more comprehensive understanding of the material you need help with. We'll take a thoughtful, analytical approach to the topic at hand. And we'll have fun while doing so.

Knowledge is power! The Socratic Method is a great...

I have had a lot of experience working with grades k-5 in the classroom, working alongside teachers to plan and execute lessons. I am working towards a Masters degree and have been taking education classes for three years that have prepared me to tutor children.

...cultures. Especially all their food! I love to cook and bake, and attempt to bring some of my favorite French treats into my own home. I love tutoring French because I have a passion for spreading this appreciation for other cultures. I am originally from Cleveland, Ohio where I started learning French in my elementary school class. When I'm not tutoring or trying to teach myself something new, I love yoga, running and wandering around...

...is crucial. I also think that truly understanding the material on a deeper level is more important and beneficial than memorizing shortcuts to get to the answer. I am very patient and will work alongside the student toward reaching that key moment when the material finally clicks and everything makes sense. Outside of my research job, I was a student-athlete for five years on the crew team in high school and college, and I currently...

...ESL, and preparing kids for exams like TOEFL. As someone who was born in a Spanish speaking country and learned languages early on in my life, I have a very deep understanding on how to approach these subjects.

I look forward to getting...
