Hello! My name is Mihir Kumar, and I recently graduated from USC under the full-tuition Trustee Scholarship with dual degrees in Human Biology and Economics, and a minor in Mathematical Finance.

I hate lecturing! I do! This is why my tutoring style is very interactive. I don't like talking AT a person, I prefer to have a conversation. My goal as a tutor is to make subjects interesting, and also to make sure they stick- so you can do well on exams. I also teach study skills in every session, so ideally you won't have to rely on me forever. I try to give students tools that they can use to teach them how to teach themselves- something they'll have to do if they're considering college. I have worked as a tutor for 10 years in all subjects, especially focusing on ESL learners. Recently, I have worked in an ESL school (FLS International) with university age students seeking to matriculate into American Universities. Before that, I worked in South Korea teaching English. While employed at these schools, I also work part-time as a tutor- mostly for middle and high school age st

I have lived in Spain in college and visited in high school. I've traveled to Mexico, Aruba, Spain, and el caribe. I have taught Spanish, technology and beginning French for more than 10 years. My MA is in Spanish and Learning Styles, and recently I finished my cultural linguistic certificate from Stanford University. Currently I teach teachers technology when I am not helping students with their spanish or english homework. I have a MA degree in Spanish and Learning Styles so I just love teaching. My style is relaxed, as I teach a foreign language. I think feeling comfortable is most important when trying to understand a new lang. I also bring various techniques that include technology, short grammar videos, games, short cult'l videos, songs the STUDENT likes, texts from topics that STUDENTS like, and I customize each training session to get my student up to speed and able to underst

Helping children brings out the best in me and I enjoy it very much. This year, in my Bible class, I taught using group work and examples. These students were 12 - 16 years old. I found that they needed motivation and an enthusiastic teacher to keep them attentive. I often told jokes and give real examples in life that helped them better understand my lessons. For my Vietnamese language class, these students were 8 - 15 years old. They required more patience than my other class so I taught this class a little slower and provided more hand holding. I am a dynamic and motivated Sr. Financial Analyst with over 12+ years of financial experience. Aside from Finance, I am also exposed to accounting closes on a monthly basis. I have earned a bachelors degree in Economics. During the last 2 years, I have volunteered to be a teacher at Our Lady of Peace Catholic church. I teach both a V

I have tutored a wide variety of students for 14 years, ranging from high-level executives and business professionals to students from the elementary to community college level.

I am a recent graduate from Santa Clara University with a double degree in Economics and Finance. I worked for three years at Stanford University with the Foundation for Education (F4ED) tutoring advanced elementary students in applied mathematical concepts. I am currently working as a research analyst for the Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs (A.N.D.E.) as well as co-writing a paper on applied financial concepts with a professor from Santa Clara University. I enjoy teaching students of all ages. I believe the best way for students to learn is by asking questions. I encourage students to think outside the box and ask as many questions during each session. In addition I feel that students learn best when they are able to apply a recently learned concept to a more challenging or different problem. I believe that every student can surpass expectations and reach their full pot

We are all lifelong learners. This belief helps me excel at whatever I put my mind to. Growing up, I was a straight-A student, inspired by English, math, & science. In H.S., I received gold medals in Speech competitions, composed American/English Literature essays, & tutored/proofread other student's work. I graduated as Class Salutatorian & carried my momentum through college. Choosing a Business major meant taking a wide breadth of courses, like Professional Communication, Speech Delivery, Theater, Calculus, Computer Programming, & Philosophy. At work, I received consistently-positive feedback on my written communication, docs, and training style. Peers, clients, & even managers would often ask me to proofread their emails/presentations. For me, it's always been about WHO I work with vs. WHAT I work on. I love building new relationships, having conversations, and watching people grow.
