More About This Tutor...

I love to teach foreign languages, and I find nothing more rewarding than guiding students on their way to full proficiency. I hope to secure a position where I can continue to devote my energies to teaching and mentoring students as they develop their language skills and to developing curriculum materials that facilitate effective language learning.
As a professor at Baku State University, I offered courses in foreign languages, linguistics, research methodologies, and pedagogical methods in language teaching. I developed and designed the Urdu curriculum at Baku State University myself, and the undergraduates and graduate students I trained went on to become diplomats, translators, medical interpreters, and language teachers. I also provided intensive private tutoring to government officials and academics who needed to learn the Russian and Azeri languages: my clients included ... read more

I love the challenge and creativity that comes with teaching. To see kids have "lightbulb" moments is very rewarding and exciting to me. I am energetic, efficient and compassionate. I am firm yet loving and feel strongly that students will rise to the challenge when given the proper support and encouragement. I enjoy an atmosphere where everyone is involved in the discussion and learning process. I have high expectations and can recognize students strengths and weakness. I like to exploit students' strengths and help them work on their weaknesses. I am willing to help each and every students who needs it. I believe I was called to be an excellent teacher and to impact the lives of children in a positive way.

I believe that all students can learn. Caring for young children can be a large undertaking for a teacher, but all the effort put forth in caring has great value. Children depend on their teachers for multiple reasons, and through that we can make a huge impact in their lives. As a teacher, I will support all that my students do, and I will be there to help them better their lives academically, socially, and emotionally. I want to be able to make a difference in all of my students’ lives. I hope to motivate and engage students, as well as instill in them a passion for learning that they can carry with them into their future.
I attended Towson University where I earned a bachelor degree in Special Education and Elementary Education. To further my education, I am enrolled in graduate courses at St. Joseph's College where I will earn my Master's in the field of Literacy and C ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Teaching comes second nature to me. I believe that all students can learn, but each person requires a different style of instruction in order to fully understand the subject. I provide multiple kinds of instruction while keeping a patient and easy going mentality. It is my goal to help each student not only come to understand the subject, but be able to apply it in real life settings. This type of teaching can make a difference in each of my students' lives.
As a University of Connecticut graduate, I was very driven by my passion for the sciences. I earned a BS in pathobiology with a minor in molecular and cell biology. I was a well rounded student which has afforded me skills in math, psychology, and English. I have worked as a rowing coach for many years and have the patience and drive to help you reach academic goals.
