I am from South Korea and have been studying in America for 4 years. During 4 years, I was struggling to learn English and studying hard to follow my classes. As a result, I learned the efficient way of studying English(useful for people who are from other countries) and maintained A- grade during my high school. I taught Korean students who needed English help and American students who needed math help(especially for ACT math). I got 29 ACT overall score and 33 ACT math and 28 English ACT. Studying at St. Olaf College, I explored the joy of teaching. As a native Korean speaker, I taught American friends who are interested in Korean culture and Korean. During my freshman year at St.Olaf, I maintained A- grade and got a dean's list for the second semester. I enjoy teaching in general and understand the struggle of learning. Especially, math is a definitely challenging subject and some

I have taught children, high-school students, college students, and most recently, adults. Besides my experience working with people of all ages, I have also worked with many different cultures and skill levels. My exposure to teaching people with such diverse backgrounds has been very rewarding and has given me a more well-rounded teaching style. I am skilled at adjusting lessons to maximize the student's learning. This is especially useful when tutoring because, unlike teaching a large group of students, tutoring allows for more flexibility and custom tailoring of a lesson. This is also what makes tutoring such a useful tool. The personal attention gives students an advantage over others who don't seek the extra help. I am a congenial and creative teacher who is always patient with students. I enjoy helping them succeed. I am committed to the study of languages as is reflected

I strongly believe that all children can not only learn, but can eventually excel in their chosen field. All they need is proper environment, encouragement and training to achieve their academic goals. As educators, our responsibility is to provide these, coupled with open, clear communication and personal attention. In 2001, I graduated with Bachelors in Chemical Engineering from one the prestigious engineering institutions in Northern India. I had always been a brilliant academic student, excelling in science and mathematics, and had tutored high school students in science/maths previously. After graduation, I started a training academy to tutor students in maths and science which eventually helped students to develop strong fundamentals in these subjects and apply for pre-engineering admission exams. Besides, I have excellent verbal and written communication skills and a positive atti

I enjoy helping students reach their full potential and facilitating the learning process. Every student has different needs and different learning styles, but I have seen first hand how one-on-one help can truly make a difference. Some students make take longer to grasp a concept or complete work but given enough time, resources, and effort, they too can succeed. I strive to develop a good rapport with students so that they feel comfortable in the learning environment and confident to try their best without fear of making mistakes. I am very patient, understanding, and positive. I come from a family of teachers, including my parents who are college professors and instilled in me from an early age the value of education. I went on to study languages and history, obtaining a B.S. in Spanish and a Master's in Teaching with a double concentration in Spanish and ESL (English as a Secon

I have had extensive education in Math and Physics through college and graduate school. I worked as research scientist for 14 years after graduating from school. In the past seven years, I have been working with children with learning disabilities (autism, etc). I have taught communication, language, self-help, social skills and elementary level academics, using a technique called Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). I completed my graduate-level ABA course training in 2009, earning a certificate towards the national board certification as a Behavior Analyst. I am also a fluent speaker in Chinese. I love teaching and working with all children, especially those facing challenges in learning. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. When a child fails to achieve certain learning objective, it's the teacher who should be looking for a more effective way of teaching a

I love working with all ages and generally prefer English as a Second Language students, but I enjoy working with everyone. My teaching style is very student centered as I try to figure out what a learner likes to learn and cater the instruction to them so it stays fun and educational. I do not necessarily prescribe to a particular approach to teaching as I believe it takes a variety to make a difference. Every learner is different. I know I love teaching and I love when a student strives to be the best, that is truly the most rewarding thing about being an educator. As an undergraduate at the University of Mississippi I was a teaching assistant for a College Skills class and also a year long tutor at Oxford High School in pre-algebra. After graduating from the University of Mississippi I lived in Seoul, South Korea and taught students ages 5-11 English as a Second Language, includi
