...I am passionate about, and I hope to help others gain that same opportunity through tutoring. I tutor in English, French, and standardized tests, and especially enjoy helping students think about subjects creatively and from new angles. My largest interest, outside of education, is music. I worked throughout college as a music director at Wesleyan's radio station, and currently work as a producer and staff writer for Afropop Worldwide, a non-profit radio show dedicated to...

...teaching styles. The most successful approaches were those that closely mimicked the cultural and linguistic immersion that I experienced when I actually arrived in France. While memorization is a necessary part of learning any language, understanding the grammatical foundation of that language is more important. Finally, I have experienced French and English in a variety of different environments (academic, professional, social...) and I am happy to cater my lessons to your needs. I look forward...

I also have experience working with elementary school students in a bilingual New York City public school. One of the aspects of tutoring that I always look forward to is when students are...

...Again, if a student can learn the greater importance of an event or of an author's main argument and styles, they learn more than basic information to repeat in a test: they begin to master the information and use it to approach new material with greater preparedness. I always want the learner's outcome to be a compoundable skill. For students learning to read and write better, I believe it's all about structure. There are simple...

My students find success by learning at their own rhythm, so I conduct the pace of my lessons based on individual student's needs.

As...

At any stage of education, seeing the connection between a subject and the real world is the key to understanding. With perspective, homework practically...

...in 2010 with a degree in Communications. I'm a patient, encouraging, positive tutor who specializes in liberal arts, English, and essays. I love helping people learn!

...breaking down the tests into their fundamentals to better grasp the strategy behind them. I firmly believe in learning-by-doing which is why I encourage all my students to try first before revising their methods and understanding of the subjects.

"Education is a great engine of personal development, it's through education than the daughter of a peasant can become a doctor, the son of a mine worker can become head of the mine, the child of a farmer can become even president of a great nation" said late Nelson Mandela. I do believe in his words hoping this platform will help us to reach that goal. Last but not least, "the early birds...
