Striving for an top-notch test score, or mastering math and physics classes, can be daunting and frustrating. Sometimes a teacher doesn’t explain the material well, or abstract concepts don’t quite click. That’s why I bring patience and a positive attitude to my tutoring. I use a technique of offering multiple explanations for each concept, rooting my explanations in content the student already understands. I like to build a rapport with students in early lessons by learning their interests a... Read more
Michael
Language instructor with professional writing and teaching experience
Real communication is about understanding how others think; this is the highest form of language learning. Grammar and vocabulary are important, but they must be grounded in the context of cultural considerations, audience expectations, and other elements. Using this holistic approach, my English (ESL) and Chinese curricula are designed to give students a deeper understanding of how each respective language can be used to achieve the desired results. In addition to language instruction, I also offer test preparation assistance. There are many learning strategies that can be applied to maximize the effectiveness of study. In my test prep courses, I will work with you to understand the underlying patterns of each test section and how they can be approached. In the last standardized test I took, the GRE, my scores were: Verbal Reasoning 168/170 (98th percentile), Quantitative Reasoning 167/170 (94th percentile), and Writing 5.5/6.0 (98th percentile). Some of my experience: - 3 years ESL teaching experience in Beijing - 1 year ESL teaching experience in New Jersey via the Cambridge Institute of International Education - 7 years living abroad in the People's Republic of China - 2 years experience professional translation and transcreation at the Central Compilation and Translation Bureau in Beijing Education: BM, Capital University MA in Chinese, Ohio State University Asides language, my interests include psychology, classical music, and computer programming :) Read more

The Best Study Strategies in Tough Subjects from an Honors Grad
My specialty is in reading and language arts, history and science. I have been a GED tutor for over six years, working independently with students and in groups. I know how to make learning fun, and will work with each student to determine the best strategy for absorbing facts. For writing, I take a more creative approach, backed by my experience in tutoring creative writing and the knowledge I've learned from pursuing an MFA in fiction. I make learning about grammar fun instead of torturous with this creative method! Read more
