I am what you might call a camp kid. I grew up spending summers in the mountains, camping and hiking and when I grew older, working. The foundation of my leadership experience was built in the forrest. For six summers I worked as an outdoor educator and adventure guide, leading groups of students through week long trips into the natural world. I believe in experience as the greatest teacher. Students are empowered when they learn from their experience and begin to flourish in themselves. At university, my enthusiasm for the outdoors lead me to the arts. I took a particular interest in poetry and short stories and immersed myself in literary life at UCSD. I was often asked to facilitate writing workshops and discussion groups, and in doing so I've found tutoring to come quite naturally to me.

I'm a firm believer in positive reinforcement. I have dealt with my fair share of teachers who use shame as a motivator, but that only stalls students. Teaching students WHY helps them understand HOW, and it works every time. I'm confident in this method's results. This is my first time tutoring professionally. However, it is not the first time I help others to learn. Even though I am only a college student (an English major, soon to be studying creative writing as a minor field), I have often volunteered at an elementary school in San Diego, where I worked with younger children. My tasks included administering tests, helping them with their work, and teaching proper study habits. Hopefully, I can take this little bit of experience and help any other students that need it. As an aspiring English professor, I know this will be a wonderful start to a career in teaching and of course, learn

I am a graduate student in materials science at UC San Diego, and a recent graduate of the California Institute of Technology with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. I have a broad and thorough understanding of math and physics, and to a lesser degree in chemistry and biology, as well as in more specialized subjects. I also have good writing skills gained from writing research and review papers and papers for graduate-level history classes. I am very familiar with the SAT and GRE tests and have two years' experience tutoring students in remedial classes at the high school and elementary school level. My goal in teaching is to ensure that my students have a strong understanding of the subject and do not just follow a formula or recite rote knowledge. In addition to explaining concepts, I like to use models and present example problems with which the student can demonstrate his grasp of the

I teach/train to the needs of the individual. It is important to tutor people in the way in which they are most comfortable.

My style is warm and interactive. I do not waste time. I can readily see what is needed and work very well as an adjunct to the student's course of study. I work with AP English and honors English students as well as remedial students in reading and writing. Once I see what is needed, I get the materials and am ready to start. I start where the student is and work for success. As a writing teacher I can teach strategies to improve writing and work with the writing expectation. I am a master teacher in writing and literature. I also supplement home schooling. I have had a lengthy career as an English department head in two independent schools. Presently I enjoy one on one tutoring and academic coaching. Since I am a reading specialist, I can quickly assess what is needed for remediation and acceleration in reading. I can effectively assist students in all grades as I have written

I believe that students learn when they have a genuine passion for the subject. As a teacher, I try to lead them to this passion before introducing anything technical or abstruse. My philosophy rests on the notion that students will actually guide their teacher once they are having fun; pedagogy is therefore a two-way street where true interaction is possible. Many of the barriers that might prevent a student from learning a particular subject include fear, intimidation, low self esteem and apprehension—all of which can be reversed if the student has a genuine interest. With two degrees in music, an MA (nearly complete) in British Literature, and fourteen years of experience working with children in summer camps or individually, I have an extensive educational background. Three years of study in England has added a unique perspective to my teaching palette. Since my music education

As a past high school teacher for 10 years at La Jolla Country Day School, I primarily taught 11th grade English (American literature) but also 9th grade and 12th grade (Advanced Placement--mostly European lit.) as well as semester electives like Expository Writing. Also, I was the literary magazine advisor for many years. All through college I tutored (e.g., at the Study Skills Dept. at SDSU)/taught (freshman Composition during grad. school). I truly enjoy helping students to write better, more confidently, and more readily and to read and understand literature more easily and adeptly. I believe in positive reinforcement and encouragement and individually-applied methods to students (especially of course in a tutorial setting). Also, I believe in modeling hard work, a love of learning, and the like. What I think is crucial as well is showing and giving students tools to write and r
