...Tests a few years back, and was able to get 35 of the students passing grades, which allowed them to graduate. I have also helped 8th graders who needed to take assessment tests to enter high school early pass the tests and successfully move up a grade. It is a wonderful experience to help students...

As a tutor, I like to focus...

...English teachers that really encouraged me to develop my passions and work hard to achieve my goals. I can really relate to a lot of students because I struggled in high school before I got help that put me on the right track.

...introductory and intermediate Spanish courses at the University of Kentucky. I enjoy working with a diverse group of students and presenting information to them in a manner that coincides with their individual learning styles.

...schools, and colleges, working one on one with students is so rewarding because I love seeing students succeed and express themselves with language by meeting their individual learning needs.

...to transition to teaching at some point in the next five to 10 years. But in the meantime, I would like to get a firm footing by tutoring struggling students.

During...

...confidence in the language had developed to the point where he understood 95% of what I said, was forming complete sentences, and would regularly ask me (in English) for new words whenever he didn't know how to say something! I developed a deep love for teaching language through this experience, as well as my prior...

...always on the lookout for a fantastic book. In 2012, I moved to Seoul, South Korea to teach English. At the time I was considering a career in education, and this was an opportunity that allowed me to give teaching a try as well as travel the world. I loved living and working abroad because...

I often engage students that are stuck or unmotivated by including fun learning tools such as Jeopardy, animations, and memorable mnemonics. In my experience, remarkable improvement...

...and I love teaching! I totally get it: for most people, the end-goal of studying math isn't to become a mathematician or to fall deeply in love with division and derivatives. For most people, math is just a tool that they need to use (or study) to achieve a goal (becoming a doctor) or to...

...ages, my teaching style is that of immersion. No matter the level of the student, Spanish is spoken 90% of the time.
