I have plenty of experience helping siblings and fellow classmates with their schoolwork. I have experience tutoring one student in college algebra. I know that success is more about attitude and hard work than natural talent, and I make sure to convey that to my students so they can overcome their insecurities and be successful.

I am a college sophomore at the University of Missouri-Columbia. I am pursuing Bachelor's degrees in Journalism and Art History. My expertise is in English, history, and art, but I also have experience tutoring in French up to high school French III. I received a 35 and 36 on the English and Reading portions of the ACT, respectively. I also received a score of 4 or above on the following AP exams: Art History, English Literature, American Government, Comparative Government, American History, and European History. I believe that practice makes perfect. I have materials for the above classes and I have been editing papers for people since I was in the 7th grade. As a journalism student, my grammar and punctuation are impeccable. Proofreading is one of my specialties.

I intensively studied English Literature at the University of California, Berkeley (whose Literature Program is rated 2nd in the U.S., only behind Yale) and graduated with honors, summa cum laude in 2003. In my final year earning a Bachelor's degree, I completed an honors thesis (entitled "Erotism and Death in Italian Postmodern Literature and Film") for which I received an "A." Throughout my studies, I took a broad range of classes and, consequently, have experience writing for a wide range of subjects (including Art History, Shakespeare, Literature of the 15th Century, Philosophy, Ethnic Studies, Post-Modern Literature, Film, Sociology of Law, etc.). Additionally, I tutored my peers throughout my four years at Berkeley and, in my final year, earned the prestigious "Tutor of the Year" award from the Student Learning & Tutoring Center. Since graduating, I have continued to expand my w

Teaching in a quiet area is preferred, where there is no distractions so that the student(s) can focus on the task they are trying to accomplish. I am a Sophomore at The University of Central Missouri. I have helped with younger siblings, cousins, and family friends study or work on their homework. Working with children is what I am passionate about and to help them understand something or get a boost in areas needed would make me happy as well as you, knowing your child is now understanding the task at hand.

As a University of Richmond graduate, I earned a BA in business administration from the Robins School of Business, which is rated by The Princeton Review as one of the nation's top undergraduate business schools. Also, U of R is a liberal arts university, which means I have been educated at a high level in a variety of subjects, such as English, Math, Spanish, Art, and Science. My analytical and grammatical skills have been developed by the many essays, research papers, and presentations I have completed. I was a student athlete, which forced me to learn the value of time management, hard work, and dedication in order to excel both in the classroom and on the football field. At U of R, I served as a counselor for youth football camps. I find great joy in teaching children. I believe, if given the right resources and instruction, every child is capable of learning and understanding any su

I understand that all children can learn, but they also learn at different paces, in different ways, and at different times of the day. As I learn through audio, visual, and tactile, I can teach to those strengths as well. I am patient and easy going as long as the student tries to understand what is being taught to them. I like to see the people I work with succeed and enjoy teaching. Throughout all of my academic career, I have never been paid for helping other students-my friends-with their homework. Yet, I have still done it when they asked. In high school, I usually helped the struggling athletes, even though I too was an athlete; this continued in college. In sophomore year of college, I was the peer teacher in Stephens Success class, where I helped students with various issues. In speaking of Academics/Subjects I have personally not gotten below a A- since I was in second g

My teaching style is to discover what each student needs to learn in order to be successful. I teach in a way that is most effective with that student. I have found that students can make rapid progress when they have an opportunity to fill in the gaps of their skills and knowledge. Over the years, I have learned many strategies to help students acquire the skills they need. I help students to build on their strengths as they overcome their academic weaknesses. I have also learned that students learn more quickly when the lesson is interesting to them, so I choose reading material for a lesson with that in mind. I find that students truly enjoy their lessons, because they gain confidence and realize that they are able to be successful. My teaching career has been devoted to helping individual students achieve their potential. I have taught struggling students at all grade levels. As

I think that everyone has a propensity to learn a language and each student needs someone very patient to go down the path of language learning with them. A student learning a foreign language must speak the language a lot, so I will place an important emphasis on conversational skills. Once a student can converse correctly and comfortably in another language, they will have more fluency in their writing, reading and listening skills. There will also be an emphasis in authentic learning materials, and will consist of materials made by and for Spanish Speakers in Latin America and Spain. Above all, I love to work with people and like to empower them and get to know their life stories. As a recent graduate at the University of Missouri with degrees in International Studies and Spanish, I have obtained the indispensable ability to speak Spanish fluently. In addition to this skill, I have a
