It's a really terrific feeling to know that I can make a...

...ACT - I taught every section of the test, and by the time I left ScorePlus I knew the ACT backward and forward. I enjoyed helping students grasp the content, but the most fun part of tutoring was finding tips and creative approaches to the test that fit the individual student I was working with. I loved watching students gradually discover that they could succeed at the material we were covering. As people gained confidence,...

...I am passionate about languages and most enjoy tutoring Spanish and English as a Second Language (ESL). At Oberlin, I received training in the Organic World Languages method of teaching languages, which focuses on student production, and making meaningful language in context instead of memorizing.

All it takes is one bad day, one bad teacher, or one confusing topic to make a student feel hopeless and that a certain subject is a lost cause.
