...is the summer I spent teaching English to adults as a certified ESL assistant at the International Education Center in downtown Minneapolis. All these experiences have helped me develop a variety of strategies to adapt to different learners needs and learning styles.

...who demonstrate challenging behaviors *Long-term tutoring in math and reading--I love to guide a student who initially struggled to meet and exceed expectations! Outside of my direct work with students, I have coordinated a math tutoring program that placed K-12 math tutors into local public schools.

I graduated from the University of Chicago in 2016 with a B.A. in English and Theatre. I then got my M.S.Ed from Northwestern.

...University. I am majoring in Mechanical Engineering and will be earning a bachelors as well as a masters degree in 5 years total. My focus on mechanical engineering and systems is due to my love of putting things together and drawing conclusions from physical representations. This was instilled at a young age as I had a deep love of Legos. My favorite subject to tutor is algebra. Algebra features so many of the basic mathematical...

...have had exposure to biochemistry, introductory biology, and general, organic, inorganic, physical, and analytical chemistry. In my teaching, my current focus is on general chemistry (at the high school or college level) and organic chemistry, both of which were always personal favorites. Even more importantly, in my pursuit of the sciences and humanities I have not just mastered two different types of content; rather, I’ve mastered two different ways of thinking. Because I understand both...

...University's School of Foreign Service. I am majoring in security studies thinking about working in counterterrorism. As far as tutoring style, I think it is really important not to give the student the answers but to ask them questions and help them come up with strategies to get to the answer for themselves; the goal is to make myself unnecessary in a way. My strengths (in school and tutoring) are in foreign languages including Latin...

...can mean in a child's life. Other people predicted a teaching career for me as early as high school, and I knew I wanted to work with young people, but I had to thrash around for years trying other disciplines before I could see the obvious. I was a perpetual student for a long time, directionless and underperforming because I had no goals. Once I got in front of a classroom, though, I felt I'd...

...I would ever reverse. And if, for now, qualities born of that experience must recommend me more than the usual benchmarks of achievement, they may be of more value anyway. Compassion and patience, with recourse to humor, are certainly invaluable for a tutor. I have always been able to do well in academic settings and test-taking. Much of this success derives from long-hours devoted to assignments and preparation, but no small part owes to the...

...are in their work and find the specific and best way to help them achieve their goals. I have honed this skill over many years of tutoring many different types of students. Additionally, with me, a student will have the benefit of working with someone who has been on their side of the table.

As both a classroom teacher and a tutor, I have gained invaluable experience about how to help students, all the while learning so much about life from my students themselves.

...was an editing intern for 4 months for the Riga Ghetto and Latvian Holocaust Museum, editing and revising the final 145 pages of a historical text translated from German to Russian to English. I believe that in education, the most important element is not the lesson but the learner. Every student (of any age) has a unique set of strengths and needs, and thus requires a teacher who values not simply the subject matter but...

...tutored thank me again and again for helping them enjoy and succeed in what was often their worst class. My experience with the SAT enables me to tutor SAT test prep as well, a subject that can be very stressful for many students. I hope to alleviate this stress and help students succeed.
