I recently graduated from Mercer University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. Beginning Fall of 2016 I will be attending UNT Pharmacy School in Fort Worth. I have tutored for many years in a variety of subjects ranging from the sciences to public speaking, writing, and english. In high school I coached speech and debate for middle school and high school students. I can assist with test prep as well as projects. I like to make learning fun and enjoyable and so I try to use a variety of resources to help students relate to material as well as retain it. I believe that learning should involve real world experiences. My goal is for students to become masters of their education so that in the end, the student can in fact become the teacher.Aside from tutoring I enjoy going to concerts, singing karaoke, camping, reading, and watching movies.

My first teaching gig was nearly 5,000 miles away from home, in the small town of Szolnok, Hungary. I had just graduated Lynchburg College with a BA in English, and having grown up in Virginia my entire life, I was eager to experience something cultural and new. I figured teaching English abroad would be the most intense, interesting, and educational way to jumpstart a career in teaching. Now, ten years later, I can say that my initial teaching experience abroad was the tipping point in my life, for it led me to become not only a lifelong teacher, but a lifetime student as well.Since 2005, I have gone on to teach English in Poland and Hungary, and also back in my hometown, Manassas, Virginia. I have taught English and Literature to high school students, ESL to adult professionals, and last year I taught Creative Writing to Honors Freshmen at Virginia Commonwealth University. At VCU's Writing Center I privately tutored students, helping them write and revise their essays for their final portfolios. Having played guitar since the age of fourteen (and also touring in a couple rock bands), I have some experience teaching music and guitar as well.My education includes a BA in English, an MA in European Studies, and an MFA in Creative Writing (fiction).In my spare time I like reading, writing creatively, and playing music. Most weekends in New York I try to visit a museum or see a concert, and many-a-Sundays you'll find me burrowed in a cafe and reading manuscripts for my day-time job (a literary agency).

I am a graduate of the University of Washington in Seattle. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in History, and also minored in Spanish. Now I am pursuing a Masters in Teaching in the Seattle area. I recently spent a year teaching English in the beautiful country of Costa Rica as a TEFL certified instructor. I was able to teach and tutor people of all ages and all skill levels, from high school students to professionals looking to expand their skills set. These experiences have given me a lot of confidence in tutoring English related topics such as reading and writing, and I am fluent in Spanish after living abroad for over a year, so I would greatly enjoy tutoring anybody with the desire to improve in that subject as well. However, my ultimate goal is to become a high school history teacher, so I would be very interested in tutoring the subjects of American or European history. It is my belief that education is the most valuable resource we possess, since it is what gives us the confidence to succeed, the ability to solve problems, and allows us to achieve our goals. In my spare time, I enjoy travelling, watching sports, kayaking, and getting out to experience the outdoors.

Tutoring isn't just about knowing the subject matter--it's also about attitude! I firmly believe that the most important part of tutoring is recognizing that each student has individual needs, and with that, an individual approach to understanding difficult subject material. I am committed to discovering what method works best for you, and hope to help you succeed in overcoming whatever difficulties you may have.As for my background, I have been tutoring since high school. I have extensive experience tutoring in math, both as a private tutor and with a company. My BA (University of Arizona) and M. Phil. (Trinity College Dublin) degrees are respectively in Creative Writing and in English, and as such, I have a strong background in those subjects as well, which are my favorite to tutor--I enjoy exploring the precision of language to clearly communicate ideas. I offer tutoring at all levels in English, and up to algebra in math, as well as SAT and PSAT tutoring.Outside of school, I hope to become a professional writer some day. I also enjoy reading, listening to music, traveling, and e-sports.

I am a communicator, and I love to help other people learn how to communicate and understand others as well!I wanted to be a writer since I was a boy, and because of some wonderful teachers before college, and some incredible professors at Oral Roberts University, I was able to become a professional writer and editor. I received my BA in creative writing from ORU in 2001, and I have been working in the publishing world since.I've spent the last 14 years helping authors with their books and have written or edited countless manuscripts. Each of those people needed to learn how to communicate with the people who would be reading their books.I enjoyed helping them, and I'd love to help you too! If you have questions about how to write better or understand what someone else is writing, I'm you tutor! I have helped students with their writing, grammar, and syntax, and their understanding of literature. If you have a paper to write, techniques to master, or literature to understand, I look forward to helping. However, I don't believe in handing over candy-coated answers, and I prefer a questioning Socratic method to help students master materials.My amazing wife and I have been married 11 years, and we have a seven-year-old daughter. As a family we love to hike, adventure, off road, and read together! When I can, I work on my own writing, though much like your neighbor who mows lawns for a living and himself has a ratty yard, time for my own work always seems in short supply.If you want to work on your communication, please let me know how I can help.

I am a graduate of Bates College. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Classical and Medieval Studies before pursuing classics at the University of Pennsylvania in their Post Baccalaureate in Classical Studies program. Since then, I have studied intensive German at the Goethe Institute in Berlin, and received my MSc in Palaeopathology from Durham University in the UK. In addition to this, I am a certified TEFL instructor. I tutor a variety of subjects, but I am the most passionate about reading, writing and history. I am also very passionate about Latin and other languages. I consider myself to be a lifelong learner, and I pursue new subjects with the goal of enriching my life and reaching my full potential. I enjoy trying out new things, and have a passion for ballroom dancing, fencing, and yoga. I am also beginning to practice Aikido. Another great passion of mine is traveling to foreign countries and experiencing new and exciting cultures.

Being a native English speaker I am fascinated by other languages and cultures. I have studied the linguistics, the grammar, and the structure of the Spanish language, as well as the Latin/Spanish Culture. I have traveled to Spain and South America for extended periods of time and fell in love with the people who practice the Latin/Spanish Culture and Language. I have tutored all ages from teaching toddlers to speak, to teaching adults. In college I proofread papers for classmates and now I read and write on my own time in English and Spanish.My reason for tutoring is the challenge that it brings. I love finding new ways to reach students and finding that lightbulb turn on. Tutoring is stimulating not only for the student but for me as well. I am not one to be discouraged easily and I love getting others to see the potential in themselves. Teaching brings a sense of cultural enhancement and a self awareness that extends far beyond the classroom.I love helping students of all ages reach their potential in every aspects of learning and I look forward to working with you!

I have a degree in English with a minor in psychology from Milligan College, TN. All throughout my high school and college years I have been involved in theatre, especially musical theatre. I could talk about my favorite musical all day. I am hoping to pursue a graduate degree in English in the coming few years. I love tutoring because I enjoy helping students to figure out the best ways to solve problems and to increase their education. I believe that every students is capable of achieving great things and I want to unlock that potential.

I am excited to be completing my MA in English and Educational Technology through Morehead State University later this year. I completed my BA in English (History minor) at the University of MichiganDearborn. I earned my AA in Business at Henry Ford Community College. Teaching others how to write and interpret literature is a passion of mine. My goal is to teach composition and creative writing at the undergraduate level. By day, I work at a large health care insurance corporation in the information technology communications department, where I have been accused of being ruthless about grammar and mechanics. I'm frequently sought out by my coworkers to assist with writing and editing. Since I do work in information technology, I'm also asked to train and teach coworkers throughout the company on the various technologies that we use.I'm a proud mother of three teenagers, and oldest sister to six brothers and sisters. I have been tutoring all of them on one subject or another for as long as I can remember. Many people are astounded by my patience and ability to guide both children and adults through difficult subjects. I believe in guiding a student to the answer so that they are able to understand how they got there, rather than just providing the answer. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, spending time outside, collecting teapots, swimming, knitting, and cooking. I'm also a technology fan, so I'm always interested in the latest gadget.

I attended DePaul University, and in December, I received a Bachelor of Arts in English, with a concentration in Literary Studies, and French. During my time at DePaul, I was a Writing Center Tutor at the University Center for Writing-based Learning. There, I worked with students from a variety of disciplines on their writing. For example, I tutored freshman who were working on rhetorical analyses as well as senior psychology majors working on personal statements for grad school. The diversity of writing I worked with fostered a sense of adaptability in me that I bring to every new tutoring session. I also tutored English Language Learners, focusing more on the technical aspects of language and honing their speaking skills. I tutor any subject under the broad spectrum of English: college writing, reading comprehension, literary analyses, speech and argumentative writing, and so forth. I also tutor French! I received my degree in French and spent a semester abroad in Paris, where I lived with a host family and soaked in the culture, like a slice of baguette bread mopping up a delicious sauce.My tutoring style is direct but not overbearing: I know how to direct students to the right answer, but I will do so through leading questions, providing examples, or referencing rules or conventions that the student has learned previously. Students possess the knowledge the obtain the right answer but sometimes have to be guided to it; that's the purpose of education and tutoring. Because education is so monumental in shaping students' futures, it's crucial that they receive the attention necessary to succeed.Because of my love of all things literary, my hobbies include reading, writing, and attending literary events such as poetry and fiction readings. I also love to dance and to play piano; anything musical interests me! I am a certified Francophile: French food, movies, and culture absolutely excite me, and I love to share my knowledge and experience with others!
