...own experience as test-taker and test-teacher has convinced me that as a tool for evaluating students, standardized testing has its share of flaws. But the tests aren't unfair or unbeatable; they challenge you to learn a specific language. I don't mean the fancy vocabulary you'll want in a verbal section, but the forms and patterns of the questions themselves. With thoughtful effort, any student can learn to understand the language of test-taking. As someone lucky...

Working together with students and having a good time while seeing steady improvements has proven to provide me great joy. I believe that communication and relationship building is crucial for students to open up about their struggles and also for me to identify problems they don't realize they can improve on, so this is a key aspect of all...

...in taking an open-minded approach for my tutoring, and based on my students' strengths and weaknesses I like to develop a unique tutoring style. This most often ranges from focusing on being able to explain concepts in words, to taking a more visual approach and looking at the big picture, to working through problems to figure out areas of difficulty. In my free time, I really enjoy playing alto saxophone and electric guitar, as well...

I remember being pretty drained from squeezing out all my energy to help my friend understand the material. But...

I view an education in two different lights - it should be a means to an end in ensuring a better career and, ultimately, a better life as it has for the past generation as our parents used it to climb the social ladder. However, people should also realize that learning for the sake...

Korean Tutoring FAQ
Korean is the official language of both South and North Korea. It is classified as an East Asian Language and has approximately 80 million speakers. Korean is vastly different than English. As such, it can be quite difficult for English speakers to learn. If have a desire to learn Korean, you may benefit from working with a Korean tutor. If you have been looking for "Korean tutoring near me," Varsity Tutors is the place for you because we can help you connect with a tutor.
Here are the major concepts a Korean tutor can cover:
Speaking
Writing
Culture
Reading
One of the areas where Korean is different than English is that the language does not account for gender from a grammatical sense. Additionally, while most of the vocabulary in Korean is made up of Korean words, there are quite a few that are borrowed from Chinese or written using Chinese characters. Korean also borrows some words from English, but there is a tendency to mix the two languages in a way that is still difficult for English speakers to understand.
Korean tutoring can be helpful for students because a Korean tutor can assist them with vocabulary. Learning vocabulary can often be tedious. But working with a tutor can help in this regard because a tutor can identify what students are interested in and talk about these subjects in Korean. This serves several purposes because it gives students the opportunity to learn vocabulary, practice speaking in Korean, and practice listening to and understanding someone else speak Korean. Additionally, talking about interests tends to help students stay engaged when learning about the language. Korean tutoring can also be helpful in terms of learning how to write in Korean. A Korean tutor can help by acting as a guide and encouraging students when they are struggling to understand the characters.
A Korean tutor can also be helpful with learning about Korean culture. The Korean that is spoken in South Korean is different from the Korean that is spoken in North Korea. The vocabulary, grammar, spelling, and pronunciation all have differences. Thus, it may be helpful to work with a tutor who can help you learn the Korean dialect and culture that fits best with your needs. If you are looking for a Korean tutor, look no further than Varsity Tutors because we can help you connect with someone who is eager to help you.
