I am a grad student at Washington University in St. Louis getting my doctorate in Occupational Therapy. I have experience tutoring and teaching in several subjects. As a graduate student, I assisted instructors teaching research and high-level integrated topics including neuroscience, kinesiology, biomechanics, psychology and mental health, physiology, anatomy, critical reasoning. I have my BS in psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison where I participated in research as well as tutored and led study groups for physiology students.My approach to teaching is to help students make connections between what they already know and to understand new material. I feel that learning that is applicable to one's life helps elicit motivation and enjoyment. I really enjoy helping people feel more confident and empowered in their learning.

I am a recent graduate of the Brown School of Social Work with a concentration in social and economic development and a Summa Cum Laude graduate of Tufts University with a B.A. in Peace and Justice Studies and a minor in English. At Tufts and the Brown School I conducted research about educational equity, inclusion, and integration and housing justice. My Master's of Social Work informs my tutoring strategies of relationship building, motivation, and empowerment. I've always loved the teaching and tutoring opportunities I've been fortunate to have, and I've been lucky to tutor a wide age range from grade schoolers to high schoolers. I enjoy teaching multiple topics especially the social sciences, and I've had particular success coming up with creative and individualized methods to prepare students for the critical reading and the writing sections of standardized tests (including private school admission tests). I've also had a great time engaging students with English class and essay writing material, as well as coaching them through presentations and public speaking. It is exciting for me to see my students processing and thinking about new topics, and to see them become more confident in their own ideas and in their reading and writing. Through my studies I've had the opportunity to be immersed in the topics I'm passionate about and I look forward to the opportunity to share these passions for essay writing (including college admission essays), English, history, and political science. I've been lucky to have a wonderful educational experience and I want to help other students be in the best position to have their own. In my free time I love being outdoors, trying out new recipes, and reading. My guilty pleasure is getting too emotionally involved in reality TV."

A solid understanding of the basics of a subject can work wonders. It builds your confidence as a student, makes it easier to learn more difficult ideas in the future, and gives you an insight into other school subjects in ways you may not expect!My job as a tutor is to help your student grasp those basic ideas, one by one. I help my students get ahead in school by focusing our time together on mastering the most important ideas from class and homework. I guide my students through relevant examples that help them build important study skills like idea organization and identifying the parts of a problem. With enough practice, the difficult stuff gets easier and easier, and students' self-confidence blooms. Let's learn together!

As a certified teacher for 12 years, I have taught math from 6-12 grade. I have learned how to assess a student's strengths and weaknesses while providing them with instruction and activities that help them practice the specific skills they need to improve. I have designed lessons for students with various learning styles using teacher-designed curriculum. I have worked with students in small groups and one-on-one during school tutoring opportunities. I have experience motivating students who express a dislike for math and designing a plan for individual student success based on their needs.

Are you looking for a committed, out-of-the-box teacher with experience in helping any and all students be successful? Do you want someone who has worked with children and families from a variety of linguistic, socio-economic and cultural backgrounds? Do you want someone who doesn't make excuses, but will commit 150% to helping kids be proficient in all academic areas?I am a teacher with 8 years of successful experience teaching in urban public schools. I've been successful teaching all grades K-8 over the years and have worked in multi-age, bilingual and inclusion classrooms. In recent years, I've been hired specifically to teach and improve the literacy of ESL students in 5th and 6th grades and intervene in Math and literacy for at-risk youth from grades 5th-8th. I am enthusiastic and creative, which has allowed me over the years to create lessons and classroom environments that inspire all students to achieve their goals and believe in the importance of succeeding in education and life. I have a track record of 80% and above of all my students testing proficient in Reading and Math by the end of the year (I also have data to prove it!).I am confident in teaching all different kinds of kids and using a variety of instructional methods. I am not afraid to try new things. I understand the importance of multiple intelligences and different learning styles and apply differentiated instruction techniques in my daily planning and teaching.I am familiar with many Reading and Math curriculums, and teach them well. I have used Connected Math and Everyday Math and I understand the importance of children exploring and being able to explain verbally and in writing, the processes they're using to solve.I know I can be an effective tutor for your student and I am confident I can produce results and bring some new and unique ideas to you! I am dedicated to being a part of the home and school connection of my students and their families. I can be helpful in parents speaking to teachers and advocating for their student's needs successfully.

I am a graduate of Missouri Baptist University. I received my Bachelor of Education in May of 2009. I am currently a fourth grade teacher in a self contained classroom teaching all subject areas. I have also tutored in the areas of math, test preparation, organizational skills and reading comprehension. I love the environment in which I currently work. Our small class size allows me the opportunity to really understand each student's learning ability and style. Teaching has always been my passion and my goal is to instill the confidence in each student and help them reach their goals. It is my desire to help students want to learn, to realize the value in learning and to enjoy the process of learning as much as possible. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, and walking/jogging.

I graduated from Carleton College with a BA in English and a concentration in French and Francophone Studies. At Carleton, I gained experience teaching critical thinking and writing skills through my work at a summer writing program for high school students. After graduating, I taught English at the middle school and high school levels in Lyon, France, while simultaneously improving my conversational French. I will be living in Washington DC for the summer before starting a Ph.D. program in English literature at Cornell University in the fall. I have a passion for reading, poetry, and learning. I strive to help students read and analyze for themselves, instead of worrying about finding the "right answer." This helps them learn how to think critically about the world around them so that they become more enlightened, aware, and compassionate people. I seek to help each student get the most out of their learning as well as to prepare for the next step in their education.In my tutoring sessions, I strive to understand how each individual student learns best and to develop personalized teaching strategies. My main goals are to explain concepts clearly, help students work independently, and make learning fun and fascinating.In my spare time, I like doing many forms of dance, reading novels, hiking, traveling, and eating ice cream.

I strongly believe that education is the platform to creating change on every issue on the spectrum from our economy, health issues, and civil rights for the better. Every child deserves access to an excellent education, a fair shot at reaching their full potential, and a society that welcomes change. Education goes beyond the school classroom and if given the appropriate tools, in and outside the classroom, all children can learn.Outside of teaching fifth grade full-time and part-time tutoring/babysitting I enjoy staying active by running, biking, playing soccer, reading, watching documentaries, online shopping, and spending time with friends and family.

I recently graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with a Bachelor of Arts in Urban Studies and minors in Spanish and Architecture. Throughout college I worked as Co-President of my university's student group, City Faces, an after-school tutoring and mentoring program for youth in Clinton Peabody Public Housing where I developed curriculum and helped to oversee operations. I also regularly tutor students within my community in a variety of subjects ranging from math to Spanish to reading and writing. In the spring of 2014, I studied abroad in Buenos Aires, Argentina where, among honing my Spanish and conducting research, I continued to work with and tutor a variety of youth. I believe that education and catering education to the unique needs of individual students is imperative. I find it so rewarding to partner with students not only to clarify tricky concepts, but to jointly develop skills and tools which can help them achieve long term success. Outside of academia, I am interested in theater, having acted, stage managed, and sung extensively though out my high school and college careers. I also enjoy going for runs and playing soccer.

I graduated from Washington University in St. Louis in 2010 with a B.A in Women and Gender Studies. In addition to my writing-intensive major, I took a well-rounded premedical course load with some of my favorite classes being physiology, anatomy, organic chemistry and microbiology. I have always loved teaching and editing papers. My experience includes helping my sister with her anatomy and other biology classes as well as tutoring a friend in chemistry and physics.My style of tutoring is a very collaborative process with lots of time for the person I'm tutoring to ask clarifying questions . I really enjoy taking seemingly difficult topics and explaining them in a logical fashion while emphasizing the basics every step of the way. I find that students' frustration with a concept generally stems from uncertainty regarding how to organize many intersecting ideas. Nothing makes me more proud then watching a student master a formerly daunting topic.When I'm not tutoring you can either find me salsa dancing at Atomic Cowboy, making pies, soups and fresh bread in my itsy-bitsy kitchen, or working at Pi on the Delmar Loop.
