I also worked as a summer camp counselor and program director for six years. I love working with all kinds of students, particularly EFL learners and new writers who want to improve...

...and maintaining a growth mindset in my sessions. Whether a learner is a top-scoring perfectionist with a fear of failure or a struggling student who believes they cannot succeed, a growth mindset will improve their relationship with learning.

...me better. I love tutoring writing skills because I want to help others as much as that class helped me. The SAT is a stressful experience for a lot of kids, but it doesn't need to be. Knowing and practicing the material is important, but there are many other things students can do to prepare as well. In my spare time, I love to play volleyball with friends, read (especially a good fantasy novel) and...

I have experience tutoring students with various abilities and interests for differing lengths of time. I look forward to meeting you!

Life long learning is a hoot! Even with what I have accomplished, I'm not through yet. Curiosity has me constantly looking for things I don't know and mastering them. With 50 years in the classroom - yes this is an old picture - I'm still sticking nose into new things and pushing to learn all I can. If you can express your needs, we will find them together.

...and biology. I have since had years of tutoring at the University of Arizona, the University of Texas. My first secret for tutoring is that usually, especially with math, the thing a student is facing at the moment, be it a homework set or an exam, is not the real trouble, but some other difficulty from before, maybe even from a course long ago, is dragging a student down, blocking him or her from learning...

I have two master's degrees in geography, and an undergraduate degree in history. I specialize in research and organizational skills for older students, and confidence-building for younger students.

...Ingalls Wilder. Although I read many other books, including biographies, other works of fiction, and historical narratives, it was reading this book that first sparked my imagination and gave me to realize how pleasant reading can be--and not just works of fiction, but non-fiction as well. One of the most personally satisfying experiences I have had in my life was passing on my love of reading to my children. Then, not too long ago, I...

...family as well as the classroom teacher if applicable. When I am not working as an educator I am usually involved with family. My four children, all in college or graduated, accompanied us during our years overseas and they are a fine testimony for our family values and love of education. They know to find me outdoors exercising, in a bookstore or library or in the kitchen if they are in need of support.

...Science. I work at the University of Arizona, at Pima Community College, Tucson, AZ. I am an energetic and experienced tutor and mathematics lover who makes things look easy.

I also have experience with people who have learning disabilities.

...manner so that we can all learn and achieve success. One-on-one tutoring is an effective technique, particularly for explaining and modeling math, and I enjoy seeing students attitudes toward school brighten when they see immediate progress in their work. As a writing tutor, I like to focus on helping students find their authentic voice. Essays succeed when students strip away the extraneous material and present themselves and their ideas honestly, and I think with a little...

...of fun! I've always found math pretty neat and like to get students interested in it too! I love to travel and have been fortunate enough to do a lot of it during my quarter-century on this planetRussia, all over Europe, the Middle East, Venezuela, Mexico, India, and pretty much every state in this country. You only live once, and I really do learn something new every day. Of all the jobs I've had while...

...In the past, I have helped students achieve significant improvements and success on the SAT, SHSAT, Regents and other exams! I truly believe education is a mutual learning and teaching opportunity and enjoy helping my students achieve a thorough understanding (those "Aha!" moments) and appreciation of whatever they choose to study! In the future, I seek to pursue clinical and pedagogical medicine and enjoy biking, skateboarding, dancing, and philosophizing in my spare time.

...could discover the best way to approach each individual and create a plan of action that worked best for their unique needs. Through all of this, I learned of my passion for teaching.

I worked with students in a variety of subjects from...
