Read More About Wenjing L...

My name is Wenjing Luo, a 24-year-old girl who is from China. I am fluent in English and Chinese. I have been living in the U.S. for three years. I first came to the U.S. to participate in a cultural exchange program when I was a freshman in college. It was at that time that I developed my interest of exploring another country with completely different culture from mine. After I graduated from college, I came back to the U.S. and got my Master of Education Degree at Vanderbilt University. During my two years of graduate study at Vanderbilt, I actively participated in lots of volunteering and intern opportunities in K-12 school settings. I worked with kindergarten, 3rd, 4th, 7th, and high school students by engaging in some activities, such as guided-reading, math tutoring, and game playing. These experiences provided an area for me to apply what I had learned in school into real-lif ... read more

English ESOL is one of my top subjects! For 3 years I have offered Chinese international students my services to help them gain a better understanding of American culture and the English language. As a Mandarin Chinese speaker, I am uniquely qualified to make the transition from China to an American campus as easy as possible. For those three years my goal has been to make certain that the students I tutor are in the best position possible to make the most of their American education.

Prior to serving in the United States Army, I was a successful entrepreneur in NJ. In 2003, I was recruited and after serving I returned to train troops at the Infantry Training Brigade at Fort Benning, GA. After returning home, I began working at a financial firm and became a licensed Investment Advisor and Asset Manager. I ran the Manasquan Edward Jones branch office until deciding to return to school. I studied Political Science at the University of Florida completing their International Relations program Cum Laude. Studies in International Relations focused on the international global economy, international agencies, national security, international political theory, and other aspects of public policy. I received minors in History and Chinese Language & Business Culture. While studying the Chinese Mandarin language, I became an asset to my Chinese counterparts (and visa versa) to gai ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Hello everyone. I am an international student from China, and currently I am a PhD student in University of Florida. As a native Chinese, I attended the best secondary schools and that I speak standard, tactful Chinese. I have been studying and living in the US for more than 4 years, which makes me a fluent English speaker to easily communicate with. I started tutoring Chinese in 2011 when I was volunteering for the university language service center in University of Wisconsin. During my study in Stony Brook University, I also tutored several ESL students to help them get through the cultural and language barrier upon their arrival in the US. I enjoy teaching and making connections between languages. I'm also good with children.

During my Doctoral studies in Spanish Literature at University of Florida from 1992 through 2005, I have tutored several students in Spanish, and some in English Grammar. Some individual students used my services over long periods, one in particular for about two years. I am able to provide references from the parents of the latter. I earned my B.A. and M.A. in Languages and Linguistics from Florida Atlantic University. I went on to graduate from University of Florida in 2005 with a Ph.D. in Spanish Literature.
I begin my tutoring session by determining the area of Spanish or English Grammar in which the student shows the most difficulty. I ask my student to present a copy of his or her last exam. I engage the student in Spanish conversation at the appropriate level, and I examine his or her reading and writing ability in the language. In contrast to what I have observed from many ... read more

Although my chosen field of study is history, my passion is for education and learning. While earning both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees, I have acquired an essential skill set for working in the academic world, which includes excellent writing, reading, and critical-thinking skills, in addition to a proficiency in Spanish acquired through years of classroom study and travel in Latin America. In addition to two years of teaching at the college level, I also have experience working one-on-one with individual students to help them develop their skills in writing and critical thinking.
I believe that good teaching, like quality learning, comes with hard work. Having had the chance to see students grow with time, I have learned that patience, respect, and having fun are the best ingredients for a productive and positive learning experience. Often times, having a positive mento ... read more

Children are complex beings and I find teaching to be extremely challenging. I always strive to find the best means possible for maximizing the potential of each learner. Every student is different and so I strive to accomodate every student's learning styles. As a musician I often use the arts as a means of guiding students in other subject areas. By doing this, I believe I am a more effective teacher, but most importantly the student becomes more successful. A positive learning experience for a child can have far reaching effects. Ultimately, I believe that a teacher and a student's family are the most powerful influences in a child's life. It is always my hope that every child can become a productive and ethical citizen.
I graudated from Oberlin College in 2005. My coursework included not only music instruction classes, but also general education courses. During my ti ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Currently, I am a graduate student in the Counselor Education Department at the University of Florida. I graduated with my Bachelors of Science in Psychology and a Minor in Spanish from the University of Florida in May 2007. While I was earning my Bachelors’ degree I was a tutor for Upward Bound. I tutored high-school students in numerous areas including math, foreign language, reading, and test preparation. After graduation, I became a site coordinator for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida. I tutored elementary aged students during my time with the Boys & Girls Clubs. Ever since I can remember, I have enjoyed working with people; especially youth helping them become successful and build confidence in academics and other areas.
When I can help other students understand a concept that was once very confusing for them, I feel very satisfied. I am very flexible in my teaching ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I graduated from the University of Central Florida in December of 2010, where I received my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education (K-6 grades). I did my junior internship in third and fifth grades. I did my senior internship in second grade. I have over 200 volunteer hours with a 4th grade teacher in Orlando. In my senior internship, I had a growth out of all of my students in my class from when I started teaching to when I ended. I was very proud of what they and I accomplished together.
I like to make learning fun. I like to play educational games, and I believe when students are havig fun, they don't realize they are learning. I am firm but gentle and will work with them until they achieve the goal they set out to accomplish. I am a hardworker and determined. I care about any student I come in contact with and I care deeply about their education. My favoriote quo ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Reading, writing, and speaking are essential skills that students of all levels would be well advised to hone and perfect. Throughout my teaching experiences, I have striven to assist both teachers and students to use words thoughtfully to be a critical reader of the words of others. While teaching continuing education classes for teachers, I helped my colleagues gain new tools to help them unpack difficult texts, and model how to share those tools with their students. I have experience teaching middle and high school students of all levels, from remedial to gifted. I also have tutored and mentored college students in reading, public speaking, and composition at all levels from undergraduate to graduate.
All students can gain great benefits from participating in rigorous coursework and being encouraged to think critically. I am a firm believer in using differentiation techniqu ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I first began my love of teaching and tutoring children when I was a senior in high school. As the president of my school's National Honor Society, I began a tutoring program that enabled elementary and middle school students to be tutored by high school students. I continued to volunteer and tutor students while I earned my BS in Human and Organizational Development from Vanderbilt University. I am furthering my interest in education and working with children by pursuing my PhD in School Psychology at the University of Florida. I recently tutored a student in reading and writing for almost 1 year. I have always enjoyed math and science, so I would be happy to tutor a student in those areas in addition to reading and writing.
In my doctoral program, I am specializing in working with students with special needs and disabilities. Therefore, I strongly believe that every child can le ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love working with children. I believe that all children are capable of learning if they are given the opportunity. I believe that students learn best in a hands on engaging enviornment where they can put the skills they have learned to use. I feel that by providing an opportunity for a child to reach their full potential, and showing them the patience and encouragement they deserve, every child will succeed and lead the world into a brighter tomorrow.
As a youth I desired to become a teacher. I come from a long line of classroom teachers. My mother is a teacher, my grandfather was a professor at the University of Florida, and both great-grandmothers were educators as well. I have experience working with children since in high school where I worked summer camps, in college working with after school programs and tutoring those students, to graduating college and implementing teac ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My philosophy on learning is that all students have different needs. Therefore, teaching has to be directed to the individual child rather than the needs of the entire class. I firmly believe in looking at a child as a whole person with social and intellectual needs. If as a teacher you understand your child’s life, interests, struggles, and cultural background and integrate them into their learning they will relate to you and want to learn. I believe in being patient and understanding that students have multiple intelligences. I like the idea of reinforcing areas that the student is strong at, while working on the area that the student is struggling in. By recognizing strengths, students feel the motivation to improve their weaknesses. I believe that students learn best by putting things together, testing theories, and finding answerers for themselves, rather than looking it up i ... read more
