The "ah ha" moment that students get after struggling through a topic

Education was a pathway out of a difficult childhood for me and I became aware of that in high school. I've always had a very strong love of teaching and learning, which is why I began my studies at NYU at the School of Ed.

A truly good teacher never stops learning and I also see myself as a student for life.

I began my teaching career as a sophomore at NYU's Steinhardt School of Education. During that time I worked as a teaching assistant at a middle school in Spain and continued teaching full-time in Asia and Europe. My experience in China was primarily in exam preparation (TOEFL & IELTS) however I've worked with students of all ages. I also hold a Master's Degree from Columbi University.

About the lesson

I like to get a feel for what the student cares about both inside and outside of school e.g., if history is her favorite subject, I'll show how our lesson is related to that subject and can help boost their grade in that class. Emotion is powerful. If there is something that they fear about the subject, I like to address that also. It's important that the student feels comfortable and confident.

It's also very important that a tutor is relatable. I have a mild form of ADHD, but eventually did well in school once I learned how to learn. Letting a student know that the instructor had obstacles to overcome can inspire the student and show they how they can overcome similar problems

My students have ranged from age 6 to 60+

The vast majority were non-native English speakers as I worked abroad for nearly a decade.

I often say that there is a difference between being a teacher and an educator. The former knows the subject matter well, but the latter can answer the fundamental why question i.e., why should we learn this? Students need instructors who can connect what they are learning with the real world and show how the subject is both interesting and important.

I am quite fond/proud of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas students and the spark they've ignited taking unwavering steps to get our politicians to pass common-sense gun control.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
It depends on how far back the problem goes. If, it is simply a particular topic that the student is learning e.g., the subjunctive in Spanish, then, they should gather all quizzes, homework assignments etc. and bring them to the meeting with their teacher, so they can ask concrete questions.

Generally speaking it is also a good idea to think about their learning style. Just as we all have different learning styles, teachers also have a preference for certain teaching styles.

Tiffany tutored me for my Spanish 101 class. Her tutoring capabilities far exceed basic tutoring. She kept me ahead of the syllabus and even made the class fun by incorporating a lot of culture/history into our lessons making the course more interesting. I now even listen to Salsa!

The price varies based on whether I am teaching at the student's home or they travel to me, but generally it's between $50 and $75/hour. It can be a bit lower if students are willing to work in small groups.
