...columnist in Los Angeles. I have worked with students of all ages from kindergarten to adulthood and am a staunch believer that it is never too late to fall in love with learning any subject (even math!).

...to swallow the stark reality of uprooting the school I loved and thrived in, as well as the friends and family that had nurtured my growth in the beautiful Garden State, the prospect of attending a more prestigious Californian university to complete my undergraduate and (hopefully) law school studies was too great of an opportunity not to take a leap of faith for. Because I, too, am a student chasing his dreams, nothing gives me...

...have the most experience with. But I would love to be given the chance to tackle new things as well! For instance, I have an enduring love for literature and writing, and I am also completely fluent in German, having lived in Germany for fourteen years. I would love to be given the occasion to teach some German, English literature, or composition writing. I've often been my friends' informal editor! In my free time, I...

...simply providing the short term answers simply to achieve an immediate grade. Writing is a skill we develop over the course of our lives, always learning and improving, and it is a skill we will always need, whether we're writing high school essays or cover letters for promising careers. I look forward to helping every student develop and refine their written skills on an individual basis, paced for the student's needs. Thank you.... I believe that...

...general homework help, test prep, and organization skills. I like to tutor history and English especially, because being able to have a conversation about a subject really helps me learn. When I begin working with a student, I like to start out by getting to know them and their interests, and trying to pinpoint exactly where they are having trouble in a subject. By finding these leverage points, I can help them develop good habits...

I've tutored with nonprofit organizations such as Urban Youth Impact and Reading Partners, served as an instructor in the military overseas and as a contractor for a Fortune 500 company, and worked as a teacher in the California public school system. Through this variety of experiences, I've worked with many great educators and students, and found that everyone has a teaching and learning style that...

...former junior high and high school English teacher, I have taught in both the private and public sector. From working with students who are reluctant writers or readers, to those students who want to bring their writing to a higher level, I am comfortable working with a variety of students and their learning styles.

...right answer. Through effective communication and patience, the student is not only able to learn the mathematical process, but also the ability to think analytically. I would say that my tutoring philosophy is based on encouragement and always validating the opinions of the student before steering the student in the right direction. The student must be willing to learn and absorb information, as well as willing to work with me on a schedule that will...

...writing. The ability to write in a clear and engaging style is crucial to any student's success, even if the last creative essay they write is their personal statement for a college application. So few schools teach this skill, and even fewer teachers have the time to give students the individual attention that they need. I enjoy working with students who are learning to express themselves through writing, whether they need help with English grammar,...

I'm fond of good food and bad puns. In my free time, I wish I had...

...a retired high school teacher. I have taught all levels (9-12 grade), and all aspects of English. No matter what I taught or when I taught it, I have always enjoyed the student-teacher connection more than any other part of teaching. I am especially good at helping with writing no matter the writer's level. Working on writing is a chance to also work on grammar, punctuation, organization, including outlining, and finally writing the paper. If...

...includes working with students in person and online. The subjects I tutor are English, Spanish, History, Study Skills, Science, Reading, Writing, Social Studies, Mathematics, and many other academic subjects.
