Experience

I have been tutoring for two years now. While that provides me with a good deal of experience, the bulk of my understanding of a student's needs comes from being tutored in high school myself. I went through countless tutors trying to find the right match for me. Tutoring is an opportunity for students to grasp concepts from class that they felt were not adequately explained. Tutoring sessions should not feel like another class period, however. This is where I try to tailor my style to fit the students needs so that they enjoy learning these new concepts (and find them easier to recall later!). I try to use relevant examples that will grab the students attention and get them to think critically about the material they are trying to comprehend. My goal is for students to learn the material and enjoy him/herself while doing it. - 3 years of general chemistry classes + 2 years tutoring general chemistry. - 1 year tutoring algebra 1 and first semester algebra 2. - 1 year tutoring SAT English (both verbal and written sections). - 2 years of tutoring English (literature as well). - 4 years writing extensively at a college level + 2 years of tutoring writing. - 4 years of history (concentration in US History) + 2 years tutoring history. - 2 years of psychology courses - 1 year tutoring k-8.
