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

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, including math and social studies. Upon returning to the United States I began working on my master's degree in TESL and I've also had the opportunity to teach 3 credit bearing college courses from 2009 to current. I am qualified to tutor pre-calculus and science as I received an associate of science degree where I completed Calculus II, Organic Chemistry and Genetics. 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

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 Second Language). I taught ESL for 8 years at the middle school level, 1 year of high school Spanish, and also ran an adult ESL program here in Minneapolis for a year and a half. In addition, I have taught and/or turored English overseas in Spain and Ecuador. I have also assisted many students over the years with homework, projects, presentations, etc. in a variety of settings (study hall, "homework help", summer camp, summer school, tutoring sessions). I have worked with all ages and enjoy the variety, challenge, and reward that teaching and tutoring provide. I enjoy helping students
