Demmy

AP Comparative Government and Politics Tutor • +58 Subjects

I am tutor with a strong passion for the social sciences, humanities, writing, and languages. I have been tutoring or teaching since 2009 in many places around the world. I just recently got back from South Korea, where I taught AP US, European, and World History, as well as AP Philosophy, AP Literature, essay writing, and SAT. I have also been a teacher in Mexico and Canada.I received a BA in History from the University of California, Berkeley. Attending school at one of the best history departments in the country allowed me to develop a handful of studying, writing, and thinking skills that I try to teach to every student.I believe that all subjects that I teach can be exciting and fun, and it is the job of the teacher to approach the subject in the right way for the student to appreciate the subject. This is not to say, however, that I don't have expectations. In fact, I believe that it is my duty to exploit the intellectual potential of my students.I have a wide variety of non-academic interests; however, the ones that stand out the most are soccer, graphic novels, video games, music, and chess.

Rebecca

AP English Literature and Composition Tutor • +31 Subjects

I am passionate about helping students because I believe in their potential and success. I have been a teacher for over 15 years, and I enjoy working with kids. Watching them comprehend and master new concepts brings me great personal satisfaction. I have a bachelor's degree in English from Towson University and a master's degree in library science from the University of Maryland, College Park, and I lived in Spain during college to improve my Spanish and expand my cultural appreciation and understanding. I greatly enjoy tutoring in writing and Spanish because language and communication are my most natural talents, and communication is an essential skill for any person. My teaching philosophy is that all students can succeed and enjoy learning. My tutoring style is to respond directly to the needs of the student--listen to his/her preferences, insights, and needs, and work responsively. I enjoy travel, music, exploring other cultures.

Leslie

Adult Literacy Tutor • +43 Subjects

I graduated from Washington and Lee University with a Bachelor of Arts in Classics focusing on Latin and Latin literature. During college, I have found that I work well teaching people individually or in small groups. Not only could I experiment with my teaching style, I also gain new ideas and perspectives on the subject. My favorite hobbies include reading science fiction, fantasy or historical fiction and researching events and people in history, so I aim to tutor English, Literature and History here. I love being able to discuss books and history with other people so I am excited to try and help others get better and appreciate these subjects as much as I do. In my spare time, I enjoy building up by cooking language skills (currently working on Spanish and Japanese), drawing and reading manga in addition to piles and piles of books.

Lindsey

AP English Language and Composition Tutor • +29 Subjects

My passion for, knowledge of, and experience in teaching and learning are strong. I was my high school’s Valedictorian and I earned the honors of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude from Middlebury College, a top ranked liberal arts college in Vermont. My BA is in Spanish, with minors in French and Education Studies. I’m a Highly Qualified licensed teacher with several happy and productive years in the classroom under my belt. I have studied and tutored a wide range of subjects, mostly in world languages and the humanities, but also including physics and AP Calculus.I teach because I love people and knowledge, and want to use my intellect, positivity, patience, curiosity and energy to inspire and assist young people in recognizing and achieving both their personal goals and the requisite skills for success in school and life.My teaching is based largely on my almost-decade of study/practice and my amalgamation of the best ideas and practices of educational scholars (Dewey, Wiggins & McTighe...), the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, and educational psychologists and sociologists (Bonfenbrenner, Vygotsky, Gardner...). The following is a very condensed summary of my educational philosophy: Know your subject and your audience. Observe and listen. Communicate clearly and honestly. Hold and articulate high, achievable goals and standards. Scaffold and tailor instruction to meet individual needs. Provide regular, structured, personalized feedback. Acknowledge what has been done well and achieved. Indicate areas and provide help to improve. Be flexible. Honor individuals for who they are. Enjoy the process. Never give up.Student Testimonials:--"I don't think I've learned more in any other class--ever."--"[She] always has a planned class and everyone is very focused during that time."--"She makes complete, specific comments, and relates her experiences to our own."--"[She] is really good at interpreting what students are feeling and she will try to help them always."--"Whenever we don't understand something I feel comfortable asking questions."--"The comments I get on my work always help me learn and make it easier to make my work better in the future."“Thoughtful, thorough, and honest.” “Array of lessons that demonstrate a range of ability.” “Marvelous mix of compassion and high standards.” -Middlebury College Education Studies Professor.
