Academic Tutoring Lesson Reviews from Students
Students are raving about their Academic Tutoring instructors on TakeLessons. Check out some of these recent reviews.
Review by Tanner
"I had an opportunity to polish up my language skill with an exceptional guidance I received from Dan over the past few years. As English is my third langu
age, I have always encountered sets of challenges to become highly proficient at it post high school age. My grammar, listening and writing skills, just to name a few, have improved leaps and bounds by having to work with Dan one on one. His methodical approach and patience in teaching transcends any area of studies whether it be music or language. I would highly recommend Dan for any future students out there."

I believe the best way for students to learn is through a dialogue, for them to show they understand. To acheive this, I avoid lecturing and rote learning. Instead, I set out cl
ear learning objectives at the start and then ask appropriate questions to ascertain the student's understanding throughout our lessons together. This way my lessons are personable, and geared towards the individual student's needs.
I also believe learning should be enjoyable. I create a fun, enthusiastic lesson environment. I have worked with students of all ages and have built good rapport with them all. I look forward to getting to know you and starting working together soon!

I am an undergraduate Psychology student in my senior year at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
Writing students can expect to improve upon their organizational and cohesive writing skills. Depending on the assignment or task at hand their are different approaches to writing. The audience, purpose, and format of each written document must be taken into consideration. I can help students identify these different aspects and approaches to writing.
I have had experience teaching young children. I have also worked with older students. I am able to break down basic as well as more complex aspects of writing and can help students increase in their comfortability and confidence in their own writing skills and techniques.

As a college student I have taken multiple English courses as well as humanities classes in which I worked to perfect my writing skills. I believe that the best teachers are those that continue to learn regardless of their expertise because all of us can improve on the skills we already have.
My personal passion is narrative writing. I love relaying my own stories or the stories of others. This kind of writing allows me to express my emotions and to also feel the emotions and better understand the experiences of others by trying to look at the world through their eyes. I look forward too meeting you and being able to help you foster, grow, and share the love of writing!

About Isabela
I'm an enthusiastic learner even after 19 years of formal education (two Masters, one Bachelor) earned on two continents continued by US military education in various forms, and formally tested student who needed to document skills that were not formally captured on paper (like the foreign languages I know).
I love interacting with people and pass on my knowledge from five visited continents, instill love for learning and continuous curiosity for any subject out there. Nothing is impossible when you set your mind to it. Failing once doesn't mean that you'll never win (proof in my athletic years and life ever since); determination, hard work, self-motivation and a good supporting system can bring to reality even the most insignificant dreams that we believe may not come true, and especially those in which we passionately trust.

lieve in breaking down a goal into objectives, assigning tasks to each one of them, and then sticking to achieve them.
I'm a Certified Instructor with the Department of Homeland Security. My hobbies include practicing foreign languages by speaking them, learning about cultures and slangs, etymology, watching foreign movies, traveling internationally, taking photos, reading (a lot), carefully planning with room for error and impulsive decisions (to take the boredom out of things), meeting with life long friends, drawing, painting, and spending time outdoors for inspiration.
I'm elated at the opportunity of brainstorming with you and giving you tools to be an independent learner.
