I am a recent high honors graduate from the University of Texas at Austin with a BA in International Relations and Global Studies. I have a general knowledge of most of the world, however my focuses include Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.I know about both history around the world and current events! To supplement these area studies, I studied Mandarin Chinese every semester during my four years of undergraduate studies, along with one year of intensive Arabic, and received excellent grades in all of my language courses. Specifically, I have studied and worked for a brief period in China, where I also lived with a Chinese roommate, and which provided me with invaluable cultural and linguistic knowledge and practice. I also speak Spanish and have ESL tutoring experience with a native Spanish speaker.This student was struggling in his high school courses and falling behind because he didn't understand what was being asked of him in many of his classes, and at the same time, he was wanting to prepare for the SAT. We worked together to figure out what his teachers were trying to convey during his class time (in various subjects, from math to history) and what exactly he was being asked to prepare and complete for various tests, homework, and projects. I used minimal Spanish, only when it was necessary, and I believe that this truly pushed him to learn out of his comfort zone, and he eventually became much more comfortable and confident being surrounding by English, in addition to being able to better understand what was being asked of him in his classes. Once we reached this point, he was better equipped to prepare for the SAT (reading & writing sections), which we did using practice material that he had purchased and brought to our sessions. We worked through some problems together so that I could help him understand the nature of the types of questions that are often asked in such standardized testing, and then he worked on these questions independently, asking questions when he ran into serious confusions or was unable to understand specific material.While I currently only have experience tutoring a Spanish-speaking ESL student, I would also love the opportunity to tutor any foreign-language speaking ESL students! I love studying languages and any opportunity to interact in different languages! In addition to the subjects surrounding my major, I also have a minor-level background in Linguistics.Not only do I offer ESL tutoring, but I also after tutoring for students who would like to start learning Mandarin, Arabic, or Spanish! I am likely to go about this tutoring in ways that are similar to they ways that I began learning, and continued to learn, each language in school because these methods have proven effective in my experience. I have learned that covering reading, writing, and speech evenly is highly important when maximizing your linguistic abilities in another language, and so I intend to practice each aspect with my students. Each language is very different, and therefore requires different approaches in its teaching method. Additionally, some students move more quickly through languages than others, and so I am open to tailoring language tutoring to and individual student's needs.Moreover, as a Liberal Arts major, I developed strong reading and writing skills, along with important analytical skills. I am confident in my ability to help others improve their reading, writing, and analytical skills. Throughout my undergraduate studies, I personally excelled in all of my courses that involved reading and writing. I have an excellent command of the English language, abundant experience peer-editing students writing, and knowledge about a variety of citation formats, such as MLA, Chicago, and APA.I also understand the importance of tailoring edits and feedback to each individual writer based on their level of ability, reasonable goals, and the purpose, or focus, of each specific piece of writing. In addition to general reading and writing improvement, I am also able to assist students in preparing for specific testing formats. Concerning standardized testing, specifically the reading and writing portions of the PSAT and SAT, I have personal experience taking and succeeding in these. Therefore, I understand the preparations that are required to do well on such tests, and I am confident in my ability to teach my students the skills that it takes to be successful.Lastly, I would like to say that I love learning and helping others learn! I don't know you yet, but I am already excited about the prospect of getting to teach you! I understand that each student is different, and so I am flexible and adaptable to all levels of ability and goals.

To be successful citizens and human beings, students must acquire more than knowledge; they must acquire good habits. It is habits such as curiosity, critical thinking, open-mindedness, respect, and cooperation that I hope to pass on to my students.My love-affair with language began at the University of Delaware where I graduated with a B.A. in English. Inspired to spread my passion for literature, I attended Simmons College, where I earned a Master's degree in Education. Upon receiving my teaching certification, I worked as an English teacher at Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School in Cambridge, MA. Most of my classroom experience focused on under-performing students, and my greatest joy as a teacher was in finding ways for reading and writing to feel relevant to students who had previously written off literacy as a non-essential.Along with my work in education, I have worked for the past five years on a variety of projects to create a sustainable and humane food system. In my own neighborhood of Jamaica Plain, I co-founded Egleston Community Orchard, an inclusive green space that grows food and community. I've also worked with several local non-profit organic farms as a grower and educator.I consider myself lucky to be an educator, in particular one who specializes in English language arts. Language is perhaps the only subject that has the potential to truly further every student on their path to self and world discovery. Through teaching reading and writing, we are, in reality, giving students a myriad of tools: the ability to communicate, to perceive the world through a multitude of perspectives, and the power to understand history and one's place within it.

As a professional homemaker with free time the idea of helping students achieve their academic goals appeals to me. I have extensive knowledge of biology; specifically biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, as well as a good understanding of chemistry, history, and mathematics. My hobbies include reading and writing, animal care (I have a pet dog), hiking and fitness. Growing up with three younger siblings has given me the life experience necessary to understand and relate to younger generations.I also understand the concerns of parents as I'm friends with many who have small children, and can relate to their concerns and experience while diplomatically explaining how best each particular child can achieve academic success.

Greetings! My name is Katelyn and I am a sophomore at the University of Virginia, majoring in Religious Studies and minoring in German. After undergraduate school, I aspire to obtain my PhD in Religious Studies and teach it professionally. I have received Dean's List all three of my semesters at UVA and am a member of the National Society of College Scholars and Phi Eta Sigma Honor Society. I have been tutoring for six years, predominately working with high school students, and have completed over 300 hours of volunteer tutoring. I am very passionate about learning (some may say that I am a nerd!) and strongly believe in learning because one genuinely desires to become knowledgable in the subject, rather than studying to master an exam. It is my utmost desire to watch my students grow and excel.In my free time, I enjoy hiking, dancing, and playing the violin, as well as watching netflix and hanging out with my friends. My favorite color is blue, my favorite food is pizza, and one day I hope to live in Bavaria, Germany!

I'm a current student at Smith College working towards my degree in Education & Child Studies and Theatre. I've been tutoring for many years and I have experience working with children of all ages and ability levels--from profoundly gifted students to students struggling with learning disabilities. I believe every student has the potential to succeed, it is just a question of finding the right entryway into the material. Since teachers don't always have the time to work individually with every student, that's where a tutor comes in!I'm a strong advocate for Carol Dweck's growth mindset theory of education, encouraging students to learn and grow from their mistakes rather than becoming discouraged and giving up. When I was in high school, I struggled a lot with math, and this caused me to view myself as a failure. Working with my own tutors and teachers helped me realize that I am capable of overcoming difficulties through perseverance, and that's a skill that I want to pass on to the students I tutor. Everyone makes mistakes and has struggles, but the important thing is that you can move past those roadblocks.As a tutor, I try really hard to help students connect the material they are studying inside the classroom to their passions outside the classroom. Sometimes all that's needed to make the material "click" is seeing how it is relevant to their own lives. My personal interests include theatre (especially Shakespeare), reading and writing, arts and crafts, baking, and outdoor activities with my dog. My favorite subjects to tutor are English, writing, and SAT prep, and my favorite part of being a tutor is seeing the "Aha!" moment when a student finally understands something that didn't make sense to them before.

Graduate from the University of Central Florida with a Bachelors in English Literature, I enjoy literature, writing, and making art in my free time.I am personable and love to teach, learn, and research literature mainly from the Gothic and Victorian eras.“And I know I can do this because I went to London on my own, and because I solved the mystery…and I was brave and I wrote a book and that means I can do anything.” (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, Mark Haddon)

I am an undergraduate junior at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. I am getting a Bachelor of the Fine Arts in Dramatic Writing with an emphasis on Screenwriting and a minor in Child and Adolescent Mental Studies. I have tutored and taught for Kaplan Test Prep in the past. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English and Writing. In my experience, there is no best approach for how to tutor students. Every student is different and should be taught in a way that helps them better understand both the subject matter in front of them and themselves as a student. I believe that the healthy combination of creativity and patience can lead to the solution of almost any problem in life. In my spare time, I enjoy reading (graphic and classic) novels, practicing yoga, writing scripts, going to movie theaters, and aimlessly browsing through Netflix.

I recently graduated with my Bachelor's degree in Political Science and Spanish from Saginaw Valley State University. Since then I've been working in school-age child programs to enrich students. I want to help others in their academic career. I have a deep passion for knowledge and intellectual engagement and want to pursue a Ph.D. program in the future. I tutor a number of subjects but my favorites are Spanish and Government and Politics. Each session is styled for a student's specific learning needs. In my personal time I like to read, spend time on the water, and play the trumpet.

I went to college at the University of South Carolina and am now a licensed attorney working on the Hill. I believe that with the right combination of practice and confidence, any student can reach their goals.

I believe every student has the potential to achieve great academic success. It is my goal to help my tutees realize their own abilities and develop a curiosity for learning along the way!
