About
Hi! I'm Nils. I live in North Carolina, and I recently completed my second Master's degree. I enjoy reading, watching movies, traveling, photography, listening to music, spending time with friends, an... d having intellectually engaging discussions.
I enjoy tutoring because I have a strong customer service orientation, and I greatly appreciate the opportunity to cultivate students' interest in learning and to share my knowledge with them as part of cultivating that interest. My tutoring philosophy is that a tutor should actively engage with students, bringing enthusiasm, emotional intelligence, and empathy to their tasks, and go the extra mile to ensure that the students' needs are met.
What makes me "me" is my fervent passion for learning, particularly in the subject areas that I'm passionate about, as well as my strong organizational, research, analytical, and critical thinking skills and my love of education. Furthermore, I have developed close working relationships with the students I have tutored, and it is my hope to cultivate their passion for learning as a tutor with Lessonpal.read more
