I was born and raised in Hong Kong, and I currently live in Pittsburgh, PA. I have a BA in Rhetorical Communication from University of Pittsburgh, and I will return to Pitt in August 2016 to pursue a Master of Health Administration (MHA). My day job is Patient Advocate for Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, but my evening job is teaching Cantonese. I have taught Cantonese since 2014.Teaching Cantonese is very important to me because I love sharing my language and culture with others, and I feel very fulfilled from helping students learn a new language. I have two philosophies when teaching Cantonese: 1) practice makes perfect, 2) listen and watch. I believe Cantonese students become successful when they use these two philosophies to learn the tones, unique sounds, and complex phrases.My interests are in public health and hospital administration. I am more than happy to share or give advice about working in the health field. Outside of work, I am the Children's Ministries leader at my church and a Red Cross disaster services volunteer. In terms of hobbies, I like to play the piano and read superhero comic books.

I believe every child is capable of learning and understanding a subject area. They need the right coaching to get there. I try a variety of approaches to teaching. Manipulative, life lesson skills, note taking, and solving word problems are some of my methods.

I am an Android app developer, and I have created apps used by more than 400,000 people. I also have experience with iOS app development. I am passionate about art and technology. This desire pushed me to start playing with App development and the unlimited possibilities it brings. I am also driven to help people interested in this path gain the same skill sets that I have...from creating apps that wow your friends, to creating apps that ends up downloaded a million times. It is actually easy, if you say yes to your big ideas.

I believe that every person can get better at their task if they put their mind to it. I am a fifth year teacher who has taught both social studies and language arts at the middle school level. I've tutored at the elementary and adult levels, as well. My goal as a tutor is to help and guide students where they need/want to be. I want to know that my students understand the subject or topic at hand. As a teacher already, I know how to make connections and meaning to the topic and can help guide others into understanding, as well. I am driven to helping others accomplish their goal no matter how many sessions it takes, because that is my job.

I've been tutoring for over a decade with my most intensive tutoring being over the last year and a half. My passion for education started to unearth itself as I earned my BS in Biology and BA in Philosophy from the University of Miami and graduated to work at the John P. Hussman Institute for Human Genomics. It was here I was published for my work involving reprogramming autistic blood cells to stem cells, and then to neurons. I realized that I really loved sharing my work and teaching it to others. I went on to earn my Master's of Science in Biotechnology from Rush University and started to share this passion and energy of mine with others. Before starting my PhD, I decided I wanted to share science with the world and began my first scientific media project, Biolitics podcast and Biolitics.org. I left my PhD a few months after starting to build my media company and tutor full time. Not only do I truly love seeing my children succeed, I love being able to use my ability to teach and teach well to help support my dreams. I have the fortune of tutoring students one on one and then taking my passion for education behind the microphone to share with the world. I'm a strong public speaker and my high energy and charisma helps keeps my students engaged.

My name is Jessica and I am currently enrolled at New York University studying politics and economics. I teach early childhood students part time and love reading and writing. I have a 4.0 GPA and graduated high school at the top of my class.

I discovered a love of learning from an early age, deeply enjoying English, languages, and music especially. In college I majored in Linguistics and further discovered that I love the way languages work in general, and that teaching others to acquire skill in both their native and second languages, especially in pronunciation, is a fascinating and satisfying process. Through tutoring and assisting professors while at Luther College as well as giving violin lessons, providing childcare for younger to older children, and becoming a mother, I've found an abiding love for teaching one-on-one and helping people. I particularly appreciate the importance of gaining native-like pronunciation within the frame of language-learning, improving English reading and writing skills, and helping violinists to gain excellent form and tone from the beginning. My desire is to help people discover the way they best learn- visually, by doing, by listening, etc - and finding the most accessible way of explaining a concept for them individually. When approached from a familiar and personally appealing angle, learning can be much easier and more enjoyable!

I am a graduate of Arizona State University, I got my degree in biological science. My favorite subjects have always been math and science. I learned to love math at a young age when I came to the Unites States from Poland, because it was the only subject that made sense to me at the time since I did not speak English. Over the years, I have found passion for science as well. Throughout high school and college I spent lots of my time working as a swim instructor for children and adults of all ages, and I also tutored various subjects on the side. I really enjoy teaching and being able to impact the lives of others by helping them with concepts they struggle with or introducing new concepts.

Hi there! I'm a junior at Washington University in St. Louis studying English literature and international and area studies. My specialties are reading comprehension, writing, grammar, Spanish language, politics, and history, though I also enjoy chemistry/earth sciences and math up to Calculus 2! I can't wait to work with you!

I am a PhD candidate in Anthropology, and I love the exhilarating work of helping my students grasp difficult concepts. Whether it's planning how best to engage them, or working one-on-one with a student until they have that breakthrough and connect the dots between theory and real life, I thrive on the dynamic process of making knowledge not only accessible but also thrilling and possibly life-changing.I have over ten years of experience as an instructor, tutor, writer, and editor, in many different subjects, contexts, and even countries. I have taught ESL to elementary school students in Korea and sociolinguistics (in French) to Master's students in Madagascar. I was awarded two of the most prestigious graduate research fellowships in Anthropology for my dissertation research, and have received numerous awards for my academic work as well as my fiction writing and poetry.Standardized tests are sources of anxiety for many students, but I welcome the challenge of turning something so daunting into something manageable that my students can tackle with relative ease and absolute confidence.
