My name is Cassandra. I recently graduated from Niagara University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics and Actuarial Science. I love learning and assisting in the learning process of others. I get great enjoyment and satisfaction when I help others. I was a student tutor while I attended college but I have had many other previous employments. In my spare time, I love reading, working out and playing with animals! I believe the availability to grow as a person, whether that mean educationally, mentally or physically is key to success.

I am a junior at Arizona State University double majoring in Justice Studies (BA) and Psychology (BS). I love working with children and teens and have been able to do so for the past eight years through leading small groups at my church, nannying, my work as a habilitation provider, and tutoring students of all ages. My love for education has given me a passion to succeed in academics and help others do the same, no matter their struggles. I tutor a variety of subjects, but two of my favorite are reading and math. I love to watch students gain a deeper appreciation for reading and understand the importance of problem solving, which can be taught through math. With the right resources and support, all students are capable of academic success and I teach with this in mind. My goal is to make my students feel empowered, able, and excited to learn. In my spare time, I love to read, tap into my creative side through art or music, and spend time outdoors!

I have always appreciated the written word - whether writing a research paper, diagramming a sentence, journaling, reading a teen novella, or analyzing Shakespeare. There is much to be learned and offered from it. Initial enjoyment turned into serious study, and I earned my Bachelor and Master degrees and became a secondary English teacher.I have had much experience in the educational arena and have worked with varying age groups, skill levels, and course work. I have instructed from the middle school level to the collegiate level. Aside from my formal teaching and tutoring, I have also had the opportunity to be a mother and teach my own children.I have a passion for both literature and writing and enjoy sharing that with others. I desire to help others enhance their learning abilities and educational experience.

Fear brimmed in my mother's eyes as she whispered intently with my father in the corner of our kitchen. I was a senior in high school. My 8-year-old sister, Lizzie, had been unquenchably thirsty, urinating frequently, and her normally bubbly personality had dimmed dramatically. The symptoms were clear signs to my father, a trained anesthesiologist. After taking her to the hospital, my parents' fears became a reality. As Dad had suspected, Lizzie was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. This day marked the beginning of a life-long trial for my sister, and is a day I will always remember. Seeing the training my father received in medical school come to life in our own family in the care of my sister was a pivotal experience for me. I saw a purpose to life that I hadn't seen before - serving others in moments that matter, in ways they cannot help themselves. From this day forward, I have thirsted to fulfill this purpose in my own life. My compassion for those in need, coupled with my desire for meaning is what sparked my unchanging ambition in pursuing a career in medicine.While many experiences have played a role in confirming my desire to become a doctor, perhaps the most pivotal moment came one afternoon in the damp heat of the Dominican Republic. In a small village tucked high in the mountains, surrounded by jungle foliage on the banks of a river, we located the palm-frond ramada where we were to settle our mobile clinic for the day. As patients arrived, I assisted the doctors in providing wound treatment, medication, advice, and a listening ear. Around mid-day, a patient named Elisa hobbled slowly into the clinic. A woman in her early fifties, Elisa had worked from sunup to sundown for most of her life. Upon conversing with her, I learned that weeks prior, Elisa had punctured the sole of her foot as she worked. Unable to afford time away from her duties, she endured the pain as she worked each day. Over time, the wound grew wider and deeper as infection intensified in the tissues, with no proper cleaning or covering. Upon observing her condition, the doctor informed us that the wound was greatly infected, deep, and needed immediate attention. As the doctor informed her of his need to clean out her wound with tools, Elisa's face became blank with fear. Noting her anxiety, his assistant and I took her hands and reassured her that everything would be well. As the doctor treated the wound, removing the infected tissue and fluid, Elisa grimaced with pain and clung tightly to our hands. After her wound had been dressed, she was given an antibiotic and invited to rest her foot before returning home. Before we could move to prepare a place for her to rest, she quickly embraced the volunteer and me who had "endured" with her, thanking us with tears in her eyes and words of gratitude pouring from her heart. The pain of the wound was not just physical pain. For Elisa, her wound brought with it grief and worry, in that she feared she would be unable to work if her foot did not soon heal. As I conversed with patients like Elisa that day regarding their difficulties, I realized that we were not just providing treatment to patients. While our clinic offered much-needed medical attention, more importantly, it offered a symbol of hope for this small community. This hope is what I seek to emulate as a doctor.

I am a former third grade teacher, and current stay-at-home mother to my little son. I love my profession and helping students find ways to build their confidence and ability in the classroom. I look forward to meeting and working with your wonderful child!

I am a graduate of the Wake Forest University School of Law in North Carolina where I obtained my Juris Doctorate Degree. I also received an bachelor's degree in communications from Brigham Young University. I greatly enjoy working with students who are trying to improve their academic performance. I have previously instructed online developmental writing courses for adults seeking to return to college and sought to improve their writing skills. I believe strongly that everyone has the talent needed to write and express themselves but that they need to learn how to structure and organize their writing so that their ideas can flow. For standardized testing I believe the most important factor in success is becoming comfortable with the test itself; learning the common ways the test makers misdirect a student’s attention and how to properly break down a problem. Outside of the classroom I have a great interest in film; I own hundreds of movies from various genres, eras, and countries. I also write fiction in my spare time.

Hello students and parents! I am a graduate student at Arizona State University (ASU). I received a 4.0 in my undergraduate degree at ASU and a 4.0 in high school. I switched my major around quite a bit, going from biotechnology, to chemistry, to justice studies, until I finally landed on American government. As such, I took a lot of classes in high school that got me interested in these subjects (hence all the major changes) and have take college level courses in all of these subjects. I have tutored middle school students as a Teach for America fellow in math and have tutored elementary students in English composition and writing. I have several siblings in high school that I also tutor in math. I have also tutored adult English language learners from Sudan and elementary English language learners in Phoenix. I am very excited to get the opportunity to tutor anyone who is looking to accelerate their existing progress in different subject areas!

I was a second and third grade classroom teacher for five years. I then transitioned to being an online teacher to help students on quarantine stay up to speed with their classmates. I am now a stay at home mom with a desire to continue working with students! I love working with children and have a passion for guiding them in their learning. I find tutoring to be very helpful for students who learn best one on one. I strongly believe that every child learns differently, so tutoring allows that child to learn the way they best do. I find hands on learning to be very beneficial for the younger grades.

I am an incoming Medical Student who has been accepted to multiple top-15 medical schools with expertise in MCAT preparation and a wide range of sciences.While graduating summa cum laude with a degree in Biological Sciences, I've been fortunate to gain significant experience in tutoring ALL LEVELS of students from elementary school to undergraduate. Through these endeavors, I've grown incredibly passionate about mentoring aspiring college/medical students and teaching them the essentials of crafting a competitive application (personal statement/resume/extracurriculars). My favorite aspect of tutoring is fostering a 1-on-1 connection with my students and truly adapting to their specific needs, goals, and personal circumstances.I have earned 99th Percentile scores on the MCAT, SAT, and ACT, and I am excited to apply my expertise to your amazing academic journey!

My name is Halle Dirks. I'm a junior at the University of Arizona majoring in Creative Writing and Japanese, and I am quite passionate about both of those subjects. To me, passion is what makes a life worth living -- if someone doesn't do what makes them happy, it makes for a rather dull existence.Let's see...I've been an honors student for my entire life, it seems, so I think I end up striving for heights others may not. Still, I don't think I'm some fire-breathing strict ruler-toting tutor or anything like that, so no worries on that score. I want to see students pursue what makes them happy, and if what makes them happy happens to align with the subjects I adore, I think we'll get along grand.Slight personal details about me, I'm what one might call a "mystery geek," and I consider myself to be an amateur Sherlockian. I watch anime -- besides simply enjoying the medium, it makes for surprisingly good Japanese listening pracitce -- play video games, write when the fancy strikes, knit, make paper figurines...really, I have an eclectic assortment of hobbies. I'm also a part of the newly-minted UofA Creative Writing Club, and most weekends I get together with friends and play Betrayal at House on the Hill. I'm more of the introverted sort, but perhaps you could tell that by everything else you've just read?I suppose I'm digressing at this point. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for visiting my profile! I wish you the best in your future endeavors, whether or not they include me.
