MS University of Michigan-Ann Arbor • BA Syracuse University
14+ Years Tutoring

I am a recent graduate of University of Michigan - Ann Arbor's Master's of Science program, where I studied Aerospace Engineering. I have three years of college level tutoring experience from my time as an Academic Excellence Workshop (AEW) Facilitator during my undergraduate career at Syracuse University. As an AEW facilitator I was responsible for leading a group of students (6-8 similar to a small recitation session) to master course material, while helping them develop their problem solving, interpersonal, organizational, and leadership skills. I often met with professors to discuss student progress and prepare tutoring session material. Furthermore, I held weekly office hours and lead review sessions throughout the semester to help students with upcoming tests. Courses I have tutored in range from Calculus and Physics to early Engineering courses such as Statics and Dynamics. In addition to my tutoring experience, I am capable of helping student with computer programming languages including Matlab and Python. I enjoy seeing students learn and grow and challenging them to overcome problems they initially considered difficult. On my free time, I enjoy listening to music, watching movies and podcasts, or playing soccer with friends. In addition, I am fluent in Spanish, and a beginner in French.

Hello. I am a Spanish professor with Austin Community College. I've taught Spanish at the middle school through college level for the last 15 years and I have plenty of tutoring experience.Having learned Spanish as a second language I understand a student's struggle learning the language. Students have told me I am patient and calm as a teacher. Since I have taught young people and older students I feel I have a good understanding of how to present a given concept to a specific student. I am well aware that some younger learners struggle with attention span. For this reason I use fun activities and age appropriate materials. In the past I have tutored businessmen and women who had specific goals for a trip to a Spanish speaking country. I feel comfortable teaching both adults and children. As far as materials I have plenty to offer. I designed my own language learning website that covers the grammar learned in Spanish I and II.I look forward to working with anyone who needs help with Spanish. I am punctual and professional while still keeping a relaxed attitude with my students. If you are looking for a teacher with those qualities I'd love to work with you.

Teaching is more than cramming loads of data into a student's mind. Teaching is the art of training a student's mind to think and never end the thirst for knowledge. I completed my BA Degree in History at Syracuse University and my JD Degree, cum laude, at The Delaware Law School of Widener University of Pennsylvania. I was the Research Editor of the Law Review and graduated 7th in a class of 267. I have over 15 years of experience as a college instructor and over 30 years of experience, tutoring and mentoring students, and young attorneys.

My students range from Middle School to College and Graduate School and includes those students enrolled in AP Courses and Honors Classes. I also tutor students who are taking the PSAT, SAT, ACT, or LSAT. My favorite subject to tutor is History, as I bring the course alive for the student, show the student it's relevance in today's world and help the student to prepare for multiple choice, true and false, fill-in-the-blanks, and essay test questions. My tutoring style is to listen to the student and understand what he/she needs to succeed in a particular course. I work hand-in-hand with student to assist the student in achieving his/her goals. Outside of academia, I enjoy watching and participating in sports and trivia contests.

Hi! I'm a freshman at Syracuse University, majoring in History and Political Science (both with concentrations in America) and minoring in Psychology. I have plans to attend law school once I graduate to study civil rights litigation. Someday I even hope to run for political office!I'm quite the busy bee, and I love it! I thoroughly enjoy having a jam packed schedule, it helps me manage my time better. On campus I'm on the executive board for the Syracuse Animal Rights Organization. Activism was always something I dabbled in, but being apart of this club has really helped me grow as not only an activist, but as a person. I'm also a DJ at two radio stations on campus (you should DEFINITELY tune in) and I'm apart of the Advocacy Committee for Syracuse University's branch of UNICEF. Next semester I'll be doing all of that AND picking up a local political office internship as well as hopefully assisting with psychology research with one of my professors! I have such diverse interests that we're practically bound to have something in common! In my little free time I can be found binge watching The Office and Parks and Rec on Netflix and drinking as much coffee and tea as humanly possible.I have big aspirations and I'm constantly striving to make them a reality, but I also really love helping people. In fact, it's one of my favorite things to do. I try my best to do it as much a possible through volunteer work and tutoring. I used to tutor when I was in high school to fellow students in algebra, statistics, english, and history. When your student finally gets it, and they have that "eureka!" expression on their face, it truly makes it all worth while.As you can probably tell I'm a pretty friendly, quirky, and open person, and if I do say so myself I think we'd be a great fit as tutor and tutoree!

I am Lindsay. I am an avid lover of language, literature, writing, learning, artistic endeavors, athleticism, nutrition, and enhancement of the mind through those pursuits. That being said, I’d like to share my passion and enthusiasm for learning with you.I have been a teacher for 6 years. My teaching experiences are as follows:- middle school children English in the United States as a classroom assistant- middle school children English in Mexico as a lead teacher- American and international university age students Spanish as a part time instructor- high school age students Spanish as a high school teacher- international adults English at a non-profit center in Syracuse, as a student-teacher- kids yoga classes as the lead teacher- adult hatha yoga classes, asana, pranayama, meditation as the lead teacher- high school girls volleyball,basketball and track coachMy idea when I am teaching is that I am a facilitator. That means that you know how to do everything, you just don’t know that you know. My job is to show you that you have everything you need to do it yourself. Therefore, I ask questions to guide you, and in time you will see that you do indeed possess the necessary mental forces to complete the tasks before you of your own accord!When dealing with language, I use the communicative language approach, and focus on instilling a student-centered learning environment. I both create and ask the student to take part in creating course materials and shaping course content to foster interest in both learning and participating in their personal learning progress. I attempt to create an environment where a student feels no fear to ask questions, and is able to verbalize and communicate, and also is able to travel outside the classroom and use what we’ve learned in authentic contexts. I closely monitor student progress, and also am more than open to emailing and meeting at the student’s convenience.As far as my personality goes, I am a very caring, silly, open-minded individual. I genuinely am concerned for the welfare of those around me, which is why I am a yoga instructor. I also love academic pursuits, which is why I hope to be a tutor for who ever needs assistance.
