I received my Master of Arts in Philosophy and Humanities from the University of Chicago in 2012. As I was completing my philosophy studies, I had the honor of presenting two research projects at philosophy conferences hosted by SUNY Oneonta and the University of Chicago. After completing my graduate studies, I gained teaching experience as a Citizen Schools teaching fellow. My main responsibilities included teaching two sections of English, three small-group guided reading tutorials, and a Sci-Fi Screenwriting course that I taught during expanded learning time. I tutor in a variety of fields in which analytical writing and critical reading skills are essential. Some of my tutoring fields include English, Expository Writing, Literature, History, Social Studies, Psychology, and Philosophy. My test prep fields include STAAR, PSAT, and GRE Analytical Writing. I also help students with college essays, essay editing, and public speaking. Writing tutorials are what I find to be the most enjoyable. I see more student growth in writing, not only because the skills we build are the most holistic, but because growing in writing and self-expression helps one grow as a person.I am a laid-back and casual person that enjoys sharing some good jokes and making some small talk about the latest movies. Outside of the classroom, I spend most of my time writing, rehearsing, and producing music with my band. I also enjoy writing screenplays, writing comic book scripts, and seeking creative inspiration from my favorite authors, musicians, and filmmakers.

I believe that any student can achieve their goal with hard work and dedication. Too often in school it is easy for us become frustrated. The obstacles we face can seem insurmountable and the progress we are making nonexistent. However, if we apply ourselves with vigor we are always learning more than we know and making better progress than we suspect. Each student has it within themselves to succeed.I am a PhD student in Politics at the University of Virginia. I came to graduate school because of love of learning and teaching. Learning and teaching are really two sides of the same coin. To learn something new and not to impart it to anyone is empty, while teaching without learning is meaningless. Before I started graduate school I taught English and related subjects to college students in China for five years. Living and working abroad, as well as teaching abroad, was an amazing experience which helped me learn how to deal with a wide variety of situations. I hope that we can work together to realize your educational goals.

I am currently in Pharmacy School at the University of Colorado - Denver. I'm in my third year and could not be more excited to start my career as a Pharmacist! Before attending Pharmacy School, I graduated from the University of Denver with a degree in Biochemistry. Obviously the sciences are where my tutoring strengths lie, especially in Biology, Anatomy, and Physiology. Don't be fooled, though! I'm also great with English, essay writing, and grammar. Plus, I'm a not-so-secret history buff, especially when it comes to European History. I've also got quite a bag of tricks when it comes to study tips, organization, and balancing studying with life.I got my start in tutoring during my undergraduate studies at DU. I was a camp counselor with a summer camp for high schoolers. The camp focused on Chemistry and Math. Afterwards, I taught PCAT review classes. My personal tutoring style involves pieces of the Socratic method; I use questions and the student's knowledge of the subject to walk through a subject piece by piece. I am patient and always willing to approach a problem from a new angle if the original approach isn't quite working.When I'm not in class, I spend a lot of time outdoors in this beautiful city I call home. I love to run and recently purchased a road bike. I think a triathlon might be in my near future! I also love to cook, adore coffee, and spend a lot of time reading. Thanks for reading, and I hope to meet you soon!

As a teacher, I am passionate about supporting students' critical thinking and communication skills. I strive to help students discover and refine their unique, writerly voices, and communicate their ideas more clearly and effectively. In working with students, I try to meet them where they are at in their learning journey and encourage their growth by offering new ideas and ways of thinking about topics. My primary strength is in formal, academic writing: I was published twice as an undergraduate, and I continue to work toward publications in my graduate career. However, I'm able to adjust to whatever writing style fits the needs of the project at hand.

I believe great teaching begins with curiosity, not memorization. Every student is different, so I take the time to learn what excites and motivates them, then build lessons around those interests. Whether I'm helping a middle school student strengthen grammar, preparing a high school student for the PSAT or AP English, or guiding a college student through literary analysis, my goal is to help students understand why something works so they become confident, independent thinkers and writers. As a highly motivated and deeply personalized tutor, I want students to look forward to learning. I love helping them discover that books aren't just assignmentsthey're doorways into new worlds, unforgettable characters, and ideas that can change how they see themselves and others. When students connect with what they're reading, learning becomes something they want to do, not something they have to do.

I love to learn and I love to help others in their learning process. I teach English Composition at a local college and I have tutored all different 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. Second, I present a plan of how I think we should go about mastering the needed knowledge, get feedback, and begin to see what teaching tools have optimal resonance. Third, I follow the plan while continually checking for acquisition and if there are any new areas that need to be addressed. I am creative, intuitive, patient, and a really great listener. As such, I use these traits as often as possible in order to create an atmosphere of optimal growth.I have two Masters degrees--one in English Textual Studies and one in Philosophy. I am also getting a PhD in Philosophy.

Education is the great equalizer for the next generation of youth. Nothing ensures children having limitless opportunities and the ability to live a fulfilling life in reaching their goals and dreams as with a quality education.Not all students learn the same way at the same speed. Thus, differentiating the type of instructional techniques and methods is essential. If students are not understanding key concepts and informational skills currently, then they need a new approach that will match their unique learning style and multiple intelligence. Understanding how a child learns and what approaches they respond to is essential for a tutor. Also, understanding where the students strengths, abilities, and deficiencies are is also imperative for the tutor. Once the type of learner has been established and the level at where the student is at, the tutor then uses a tool box of techniques to match their skills and needs with the instruction.Achievement and growth are then measured and learning rates are determined, then reflection from the tutor is used to determine if the instruction is the right type and if it is being delivered in the right way. Afterwards adjustments are made in real time. At this point a tutor will challenge the student at the highest level possible that requires so feedback and guidance from the tutor without frustrating the student too much but ensures growth and achievement results. This is my philosophy of how a tutor should work with students who need additional remediation and assistance filling in gaps of knowledge and understanding.
