I am a rising Senior at Williams College where I major in History and Political Science with a certificate in Arabic. Having learned Spanish, Arabic and Korean from scratch, I am a major proponent of learning new languages and enjoy helping others on their language journeys. I am also an avid chess player, and love to introduce others to the game.

I wish to carry on the legacy of the many great teachers that equipped my mind to discern greater truth for itself by aiming to pass on my passion and love of learning to as many students as possible.With that said, the greatest reward of my classical education has been not what I have learned but how it made me feel and where that feeling has lead me to a more complete and fulfilling existence.Within the context of the rapidly changing modern world, many lessons of the past are being foolishly forgotten that can serve us genuine good. Among the worst of such losses is, in my opinion, the richness of our connections to each other and to our world at large. However, what is remembered upon reading the classics is that the human mind creates its own posture, for the ancients were as brilliant as us but in different ways. They lived lives with the same fears and ambitions that drive us today and the same capacity for emotion and intelligence.If I can teach students to understand this more fully, I believe they may become better humans within our society and develop a heightened sensitivity to each other that will further their own learning

I am a recent Tufts University graduate with a major in Philosophy (focus on History and Philosophy of Science), and minors in Physics and Religion. I earned Summa Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa, and High Honors in Thesis for my 72-page work in the History of Science. I was also a committed Teaching Assistant (TA), going so far as to get special permission to TA Logic as an undergraduate due to my passion for teaching the subject, and participating in cross-departmental Physics-Education studies during my two semesters as a Physics TA.I have always gone above and beyond in my teaching efforts, making sure that the learners not only understand the material, but come away with an appreciation of their own intrinsic worth as thinkers and inquirers.

Hello,I am a dual certified teacher who has taught in DC Public Schools and in Chicago Charter Schools. Additionally I was a instructional coach for Chicago Public Schools. I am currently in the DC area getting my doctorate at George Washington University in education. I am certified in both Special Education and English. Additionally, I work with alternative teaching programs to certify potential teachers who want accreditation in Washington, DC. Currently, I have directed many interests toward writing. I helped co-author a book, "Why The Sun Rises", which is currently being launched in New York and DC and I have an article currently awaiting publication.

Six months ago I was reciting off the lyrics to the song "Thrift Shop" in front of a class of seven adult Muscovites struggling to learn English. The book we were using was dry and the vocabulary boring. All of the students were young and liked American music. So I decided to bring in a song they all liked. We spent the rest of the class discussing that one song. The next class I was presented with a host of requests that ranged from 50 Cent to Miley Cyrus.I chose this approach because I feel that learning is best internalized when a student feels like he or she can own their learning process. This means that the teacher works to facilitate guided discovery and so is in constant dialogue with the student. Those students needed to learn English in a way that was relevant to them. This approach has been informed through a year and a half teaching in Russia as well as my education. I completed my B.A. in History and International Relations from Bowdoin College. Before that I went to St. Johns School here in Houston.My interest in history and international relations definitely informs what I do outside of teaching. I love trying and cooking new foods, some with more success than others! I also play soccer and cycle quite a bit.

I have a B.A. from Colorado College, where I studied English literature, Spanish literature, and theatre. I am currently pursuing my M.A. in English at Texas State University.I have tutored students of all ages in reading and writing for over ten years. In addition to tutoring privately, I have worked for the Bard College Learning Commons, Diegueo Middle School, the Children's Literacy Center, and Revolution Prep.I have also taught creative writing courses with the Austin Library Foundation and college writing and literature courses at Texas State University.I have an immense passion for the English language, and I truly love helping others discover its power and value. I join with my students to meet their goals at their pace. We work together to develop the skills, strategies, and confidence needed to become effective readers and writers. Furthermore, I believe that good study habits, organization, and communication are the foundation of academic success; I am practiced at helping students improve in these areas.When I'm not tutoring, I write and edit professionally. I am creative, persistent, and flexible, and I have the experience and ability necessary to help you reach your academic goals. I look forward to working with you!

I have been in education for nearly 15 years. Throughout that time, I have worked with myriad students, ranging from 4th grade to high school. The majority of my classroom experience has been in upper elementary, but I worked extensively with high school students during my time as a tutor at a private tutoring center. My primary interests are History, English, and Writing, and I enjoy watching students learn to love and appreciate these subjects. It is often difficult for students to see the importance and relevance of History. I make it my mission to impress upon them just how significant History is and their place in it. I also understand what SAT and college level writing looks like. I also have experience with Algebra, a subject which I have come to gain a much better understanding of. This helps me relate to struggling students because I can often make the Algebra make sense to them the way I had to have it make sense to me. My last tutoring experience was with a special needs girl who I believe really benefited from my services. The mother could not stop telling me how much more confident she was in her ability and how I helped her come out of her shell. I recently finished my Master's degree with designs on becoming an administrator. It is for this reason that I want to gain experience working with all different types of children. In my spare time, I enjoy watching and playing sports and spending time with my family. I also like to read books about historical events and people and work on jigsaw puzzles.

I am a student of both the Humanities and Natural Sciences. My B.A. is in Historical Studies and my focus was in the history of science, and medicine. As an undergraduate I received grant funding for my ongoing project, 'Historical Perspectives on Alternative Health.' I am pursuing a MA in History while finishing up prerequisites for a graduate degree related to pathology. In addition to historical studies related to science and medicine I am associated with the Center for Values in Medicine, Science,and Technology at UTD. This has provided me with exposure to ethical components of the sciences that do not receive enough discussion or attention.If I had to select an area of inquiry that is the most exciting it would be where the Humanities and Natural Sciences merge. I am thrilled to be constantly adding interdisciplinary approaches to my toolkit whether the discipline is history, literature, ethics, biology, pathology, technology, archaeology, or anthropology.The last two semesters I have functioned in the role of a Teaching Assistant for an introduction course to pathophysiology at the University of Texas at Dallas. Through volunteer service with places such as the Richardson Boy's and Girl's club I have had exposure to homework assistance for many different age ranges. Depending on the subject there are several approaches to teaching, or tutoring, that I think are appropriate. Since each student is different it is important to find the best ways in which he/she can recall, understand, and relate various subject materials. Ultimately though, whether a student is an auditory, visual, kinetic, spacial, etc.. learner, I find the best approach is to help students learn how to identify a range of ways to ask questions regarding any problem, source, or material at hand and then proceed to find the solutions to those questions.I am extremely interested in narratives. My hobbies are related to ways in which people tell and experience stories. This is usually in the form of books, movies, television shows, comic books, story telling, music, and video games. I have recently added radio dramas to this list of narratives I enjoy. Each medium for telling and experiencing stories offer its own unique way for the 'listener' to interact with the story either passively or quite actively in the case of comics and video/computer games.

Having attained my bachelors degree in history, I would now like to spend my time on a job that pertains to what I know, and love.I plan on applying to grad schools in the following year, but until then I'd like to know more about pedagogy and historical representation. Tutoring seems like a perfect fit for this, although I'm aware I may be called on to teach more than just history.I've worked in classrooms dealing with various subjects and learning with the students is a treat regardless of the content being taught. Getting to know a student, and creating a lesson plan to suit them is a rewarding challenge.As an historian, I focused mainly on the Caribbean, but my college prided itself on teaching students the research and reading skills necessary to understand a concept quickly. I've understand the value of teaching oneself content thoroughly before teaching it to another.

Hello! I am a recent graduate of the University of Michigan with degrees in History and Ecology, Evolutionary Biology and a minor in Native American Studies. I am excited to be back in southeast Michigan this year for work in research and community organizing. I am grateful that I also have this opportunity to work with students and continue developing my skills as an educator.I have been tutoring informally for several years but it was not until college that I understood how instructive and rewarding of an experience it could be. As an undergraduate, I worked with an organization called Proyecto Avance: Latino Mentoring Association (PALMA), which paired U of M students with students of all ages from the Latino community of Ann Arbor. I worked primarily with high school students to complete homework, study for tests, develop study habits, and plan for life after high school. That experience required me to develop a much keener awareness of what I do and do not know and especially how to communicate concepts in concise ways that will facilitate lasting learning. Experimenting with different instruction techniques and finding ways to approach material that seemed worthwhile and interesting to my students was not just incredibly fun, it made very clear to me that one of my main goals in life is going to be to help younger people discover how powerful their brains are. The moment when my students realize they can and should trust themselves and that their love of learning should be celebrated is incredibly precious to me.I have always found tutoring to be a reciprocal process. If anything, my students have always taught me more than I have taught them. This is, in my opinion, the most important feature of an effective tutor: an awareness that learning occurs collaboratively. After 22 years as a quite serious student, I have uncovered a set of skills and mental processes that have worked very well for me. I am always excited to translate these skills to younger students and to help them discover their own methods that are best suited to their particular ways of thinking and working.
