...passion for history. In high school, I was both a tutor for kids at my local middle school as well as a private tutor and tutored in subject from Physics, AB Calculus, and AP World History.

...or the student are interested in order to demonstrate other approaches, and to show that the skills they're developing are applicable outside the assignment. In teaching poetry at the university level I've often reached beyond my knowledge of literature to my interests in movies, music, photography, theater, and nature to bolster lessons on poetic craft and interpretation. I've found that this approach creates "aha!" moments for students that have a lasting impact on their work...

...my approach to school work and graduated Summa cum Laude from college. As a math tutor, my goal is for my students to not only learn, but to also understand that it is an exercise in reasoning. I want them to come to know that math can, in fact, be fun. As a reading tutor, I want to share practices and tips that enabled me to be successful and to instill a lifelong love of...

I am a storyteller by nature, and I believe teaching--regardless of the subject-- is storytelling at the core. Instead of tales of fantasy and fiction, however, these are stories about how the world works. Students like working with me because of my ability to communicate information in a way that they can understand (i.e. I tell the story they want to hear). I enjoy swimming, being outdoors, and pets.

...My education and experience with writing, editing, literature and grammar allow me to relate to most language arts situations, and working with 7th graders, working with alternative school students, and assisting graduate students with editing essays gives me a broad spectrum to draw from as a tutor. I believe that education is the key to individual success in life. Education brings out our strengths and weaknesses and forces us to address both. One on one...

...incorporated stations, rely races, and similar activities that get the students up and moving. Appealing to all types of learners in a classroom is important so that each student can be reached. In order for students to be more excited and interested in math, active engagement is the key.

I have experience teaching in grade levels ranging from 7th grade through College. Most of my experience is as a college lecturer in Trigonometry, Calculus, and Contemporary Math. I am proficient in all other areas as well. I greatly enjoy working with students of algebra, geometry, trigonometry and calculus to gain a thorough understanding and...

...all four subjects needed to pass those exams. Four years of high school knowledge seems like an overwhelming amount to tackle. But unlike exams you may have taken in the past, the tests don't want memorization of times and places but the use of evidence to answer questions and draw conclusions. The math is around 55% algebra so that might need some review, but it is mostly Algebra 1 and, I promise, is manageable. You...

...teaching style is inclusivity. I want to make the material I teach accessible and enjoyable to everyone, regardless of their prior familiarity with the topic. My teaching methods incorporate a combination of written materials (textbooks, workbooks, homework assignments) and discussion. I realize that some people learn better by reading the material, while others learn better by talking about it. In my free time I enjoy reading, dancing Zumba, playing board games or hiking with my...

It's always my goal to make the best use of your time, so I encourage students to tell me what they'd like to work on. This not only ensures that the lesson is...

While my interests are in the social sciences, I have worked with elementary-aged to college-aged students in a variety of subjects, and have learned to value different learning styles. Whether you're an auditory, visual, or kinesthetic learner, I would...

...to each student's needs, but I have found open inquiry and play therapy techniques to be the most effective. Students not only master the subject matter, but they learn how to learn. I am prepared to tutor reading mechanics, reading comprehension, writing, cognitive processing and study skills. I truly enjoy helping students improve in terms of reading comprehension. To borrow a colloquial phrase; you see the light bulb turn on. As a speech & language...

...Much of the work I've done in the U.S. and in the Middle East has taught me so much about the complexity of people and the diversity of the experiences that contribute to who we are, what we value, what we believe, what we love, and what we fear. I am committed to continuing to "unlearn" stereotypes and make that a priority in my professional work and personal relationships. I love the process of teaching...
