Shelley
Experienced, Patient, Naturally Gifted Teacher
For most of my life, for as far back as I can remember, I heard the words, "You should be a teacher!" This "suggestion" came from family, friends, teachers and mentors. I considered teaching as a profession in my early college days, however, it didn't take me long to realize that there were way too many rules in school. I have always been a "think outside the box," "color outside the lines" sort of person. While this approach got me a 4.0 in college I was not sure it would be rewarded in our ... Read more

Hazel
Fluent French Speaker and World Traveler
I have a degree in French and Communication. I studied abroad in France for a year in 2015, and learned a lot on how to speak colloquially, vocabulary, the accent, and the culture. I've visited France many times since, and it's one of my favorite places. I have studied French for my entire academic life. I was the President of the French Club in high school, and took all AP French classes that were available for me. I listen to French podcasts, watch French movies, and have all the Harry Pot...

Mara
Writing Tutor for Elementary/High School/ College
Writing shouldn't feel like getting teeth pulled at the dentist. Or picking paper shreds out of the grass with a garbage grabber. (I've done that—it's no fun, believe me.) Maybe it feels like that for you now, but I hope to help you find ways to find words much less painfully. My name is Mara, and I graduated magna cum laude from UC Santa Cruz with a BA in Literature, and a minor in Education. I am now working towards a masters in Book Publishing at PSU. Writing has been my passion since I... Read more
Erik
Physicist and Engineer
When I was working on my PhD in physics at Arizona State University, I spent 3.5 years as a teaching assistant. I taught labs and recitation classes for calculus and non-calculus based introductory physics classes. In addition, all throughout my graduate student career, I supplemented my income by tutoring students in university physics. During my time as a TA and tutor, I discovered that I enjoyed teaching; for me, the best part was when I saw the aha moments when students finally grasp a... Read more
Nadya
Trilingual Wesleyan Grad: Educator, Storyteller, & Globetrotter
I grew up as the child, niece, and granddaughter of three teachers. Nonetheless, at school I was also the hardworking nerd who spent more time studying than the rest and for whom repetition, encouragement, and opportunity were essential to my academic success—and confidence. It makes perfect sense to me that some five years after high school I would return to the very setting that had been the site of my growth. Beginning in 2008, I served as an outdoor educator with elementary school studen... Read more
