"This really motivated me to look into this field more and do what I can to help our children do better. I'm determined to see the education level of this country rise. As a dancer, I was often put in charge of younger kids and helped them learn routines, especially ones that were struggling. I had a knack for helping kids remember their moves through catchphrases and alternate explanations of how the movement was supposed to work. I carried that over to my tutoring, where I would aid friends by coming up with mnemonic devices and extended metaphors that allowed them to understand the concepts better." ...

" I am also a recent graduate from Indiana University Maurer School of Law. My tutoring experience began in 2003, when I decided to move to Chicago and spend a year with AmeriCorps. AmeriCorps is a lot like the Peace Corps, only volunteers stay in the US and work for a variety of independent charities and organizations. I worked for The University of Chicago Center for Urban School Improvement – an initiative of the university to bolster education in some of the city’s lowest achieving schools. During the school day I served as a Literacy Tutor for students in Kindergarten through 3rd grade." ...

" Following Tech, I started a career as an exercise physiologist in a cardiac, pulmonary, and cancer rehabilitation unit in Lubbock, Texas. Following my wife's graduation, we moved to the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Shortly after moving, I realized that my real passion is teaching science and math. Following that realization, I became a teacher, and now a tutor. As a teacher and a tutor, my greatest strength is breaking down complex ideas into manageable pieces of information and then transforming those pieces into deep understandings of the content material." ...

"In this role I was not only a tutor for peer engineering students but also served as an academic mentor and adviser. Soon after, in the fall of 2009, I began working with Varsity Tutors in St. Louis. Through both these tutoring roles, I had the opportunity to help students ranging from middle school aged kids to graduate students in a wide array of subjects. Though the types of students I have tutored are varied, the common theme in my tutoring experience has been empowering the student to truly learn concepts through problem solving." ...

"I’ve enjoyed tutoring Plano students at Renner Middle School, Schimelpfenig Middle School, Clark High School, and Plano East Senior High School. I teach middle school math (including Algebra) and sciences, as well as physics and a variety of high school and college math material (see my subjects list for more).
Every student is different. I can help with your learning process because I've been going through it, too, for the last 10+ years. I know what high school and college material looks like."

" Texas has so many great things to offer and so many wonderful people. I have always been studious, and I have always wanted to learn about a wide variety of subjects. I have taken every type of class imaginable because I never could decide what subject I loved more. That's why it took me so long to decide on a major! In all my difficult classes where teacher instruction has fallen short, I've just taught the material to myself from the text."

"What I didn't expect, however, was for the process to be as mutually enriching as it became, with me happy and enthused about heading to my tutoring sessions. It was at that point that I knew I had not only the ability to help students understand, but also an obligation to share the wonderful experiences and knowledge that my journeys around the world have imparted on me. As a recent graduate of Southwestern University, where I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Spanish and Communication Studies, I feel as if I'm seeing the world with new eyes; eyes unfazed by the haze of too many sleepless nights spent studying. I find learning opportunities ...

" As an engineering student, I have had to work with math and physical sciences on a practical level. Rather than just learning the theory behind courses like calculus, differential equations, and mechanics, I've had to actually apply these concepts to real world problems. Because of this, I have developed a better understanding of how to approach difficult math problems and how to make them easier using tips and tricks. In addition to working with college engineering students, I also taught high school mathematics, physics, and chemistry to 8th and 9th graders for two summers with the Duke University Talent Identification Program. ...

" I view mathematics as a way for young minds to know the thrill of learning a serious discipline in a high-energy, focused environment. We play and learn. We in the western world tend to focus on the science and discipline without incorporating the language and art. As an active musician and artist, I communicate the value in fine arts relationships to mathematics."

"
Teaching is my passion, and my time as a teacher and tutor has been a very fulfilling experience. Today's teachers and students are partners in the process of learning. Interaction between the two serves as an impetus for understanding and motivation for success.
Over the years, since began tutoring in high school, I have gained experience tutoring students from Kindergarten-12th grade as well on the college level. I have learned that a tutor is not only a guide, but a friend who helps in the learning process."
