As a recent graduate of the University of Oregon History Department, I have spent the last two years working with peers to enhance their ability to research, comprehend, and explain historical events through writing. This experience includes courses in Grammar and Literature as well as History of both the U.S. and the world. With a string of A-grades at the 400-level, I believe I am now prepared to help others find similar success by following some simple advice and encouragement. Motivation. Hard work is made even harder when we don't enjoy the subject; for example, History can easily become boring and impossible to follow for young, energetic minds. When these events are brought to life, however, and made personally relevant to the student as part of our shared past, we may inspire curiosity which is the prime quality of a young scholar. Grammar and literature can also be tiresome

I love the romantic poets, Byron, Shelly, Keats, Shakespeare, Emily Bronte, John Donne. I have also wrote poetry myself. Poetry is one of my deepest passions and I would be thrilled to discuss it with you and have lots of fun! Passionate, sensitive, enriching, and fun. After all, we only retain what is worth it to us to remember! My name is Katie and I am excessively fond of literature, poetry and especially Shakespeare. When I was 13 years old I saw Romeo and Juliet and have been a literature addict ever since. This is why I am an English major who is now a couple of courses into her Master's literature program. My dream is to one day be a professor of Romanticism Literature. My favorites are Jane Austen, the Brontes' and Shakespeare as well as the romantic poets like (Byron, Keats and Shelly) but nearly having my English degree has introduced me to others as well. I would love to work

My goal as a teacher is for all students to achieve academic success. I enjoy being part of learners’ growth and achievement and I use my teaching skills and patience to motivate students to move beyond what they consider to be their best and to create a new best. One of my strengths as a teacher is the ability to incorporate different activities into a lesson plan in order to reach students with different learning styles. My travels abroad and experiences as an ESL instructor give me the knowledge, skills, and sensitivity to work with people from diverse cultures and backgrounds as well. With an MA in TESOL(Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages) I have instructed international students from various cultures and language backgrounds in academic English reading/ writing/grammar classes and listening/speaking courses through an intensive program at the university level.

Everyone has a distinct learning style and attitude. I relish the opportunity to present subject matter to students in the precise manner that invokes that "eureka" moment where they finally achieve understanding of something that has frustrated, intimidated, or eluded them. I use humor and positive reinforcement to inspire confidence in my students. I believe that all people can learn, regardless of age or experience. They just need the proper guide. I am driven to learn as well as to teach. I have a BS in Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences and an MA in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, both of which have afforded me great experience not only in the sciences but also in writing skills. Over the last 11 years, I have taught and tutored students from elementary-aged to adult in English, writing, science, math, and test prep.

Teaching is a passion; an ideology focused on each student’s potential. It can be a challenge, but the belief that every student can learn drives me to persistently push students to discover this fact about themselves. True learning is about self-discovery and attaching self-meaning to content. The way I teach is built as a series of measurable steps which guide my students to find the lesson themselves. I engage my students in discussion about what they are learning and their interpretations of it. I encourage respectful debate to allow students to experiment with new found knowledge and for them to gain ownership of what they have learned. True learning is making knowledge a part of yourself, and my goal is to help students do that. I earned a B.S. in Secondary Education focusing on literacy and written expression, as well as Special Education methodology. This foundation allows me to

After graduating from Wheaton College with high honors, I served as a Fulbright Scholar to the Slovak Republic where I taught English conversation and researched the role of the Catholic Church in the post-communist era. Subsequently, I served as an AmeriCorps Member for 2 years providing academic tutoring and life-skills training. I moved to Boston in 2008 to teach/tutor at one of the top high schools in the country according to U.S. News and World Report and Time Magazine. I also worked as a Team Leader with Citizen Schools, recognized by Fast Company Magazine as one of "45 Social Entrepreneurs Who are Changing the World." I have additional experience as a lighting technician/electrician and as a Skills Trainer for children with autism. I believe in high academic expectations for my students and clear and transparent communication with them and their families. I believe in setting cons

My teaching style is probably best suited to high school and college students. Although I successfully helped my own 3 children through their elementary school, high school and college years, my tutoring experience has been with older students. My wife is a Montessori trained teacher so I have absorbed that method for tutoring. Each student must be viewed as an individual to define the areas of weakness and fill them in. It is only when the student understands the basics of a subject that they can build a future in it. Although I have earned my degree, BS in Psychology, my previous education includes 2 years at St. John's College in Santa Fe, New Mexico and 2 years of Engineering at Oregon State University. The years at St. John's have given me the unusual ability to tutor students in Ancient Greek. They laid a foundation in Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry and Calculus which the year
