I started gaining practical teaching experience as a martial artist in high school, which ultimately encouraged me to major in English Education. Four years later, I graduated college with a dual degree in Professional Writing and in Secondary Education. But rather than take the route of teaching in a standard classroom, I opted to gain practical experience by writing for both online and print-based publications. My return to teaching happened in a dance classroom, and that is where I am c... Read more

I set up victories for my students - by breaking things down into attainable chunks so that my students can taste success, build their confidence, and move on to more challenging work. More than teaching just a subject, I teach my students how to be resilient learners, and how use their teacher feedback for growth. How students feel about math, reading, any academic area will shape how they think - and I work with my students to show them they CAN do anything they put their mind to. I h... Read more

Christine
English & Literature Tutor for K-12
Hi, I'm Christine! I am an experienced tutor in English, literature, and beginner math for K-12. When I was a student, I realized that it took me a lot more time than my peers to truly understand a concept. At home, however, I did not have the resource to get the help I need to finish everything on my schoolwork so I would spend hours upon hours pondering over the same question. Upon entering high school, I decided to take the Child Development course. It gave me the responsibility to make le... Read more

NICHOLAS
Communicate, persuade, succeed.
I had the privilege of growing up about 20 miles from Stratford Upon Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare. A love of the English language and an appreciation for its beauty and power have always been major factors influencing my life. Unfortunately, the vast majority of present day graduating high school seniors and college freshmen lack essential written and spoken communication skills. Students who possess an ability to speak and write fluently therefore enjoy a significant advantage... Read more
