...levels in English, Spanish, Italian, French, Writing, Sociology, Philosophy, and more. My method of teaching is to first find out what the student knows, what he or she hopes to learn, and about any passions or concerns the student has.

...and science and those are also my favorite subjects to teach. It is so satisfying for both the student and I to see the student's hard work come to fruition through a good test score or just a clearly better understanding of the topic.
