A Little Bit About Me...

I volunteer for HOBY (Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Seminar) every year. This program pushes facilitation, which is what I strive to do. I like to try to facilitate and push my students to ask questions and talk to me as a peer. I always try to give at least three compliments to every criticism because students are often too hard on themselves. For some reason, most of the students I have worked with have had an English teacher along the line who has made them feel "stupid." It is amazing what boosting confidence can do!

A Little Bit About Me...

My main goal in teaching is to connect personally with the student in a professional manner which enables mutual respect and trust to be built. This kind of teacher-student relationship allows for the best atmosphere in which a student can learn. My first task as a teacher is to find out how the student is motivated, and then to follow through with motivating the student to reach his or her potential (also requiring appropriate levels of achievement). Of course, good communication with the parent and/or classroom teacher who also has goals for the student who is being tutored is imperative.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love learning and sharing that experience with others through tutoring and teaching. I believe in hard work on the part of both the student and the teacher. I also believe in critical thinking and positive reinforcement.
I have 4 years of tutoring experience, working with students aged 8, 12, 14, and 34 in the subjects of French and Algebra. I hold two bachelor degrees, in International Politics and French Literature. Additionally I have vast experience in a wide range of subjects including history, government, politics, reading, writing, music, and international relations.
