" I led laboratories as well as a discussion period to go over homework questions.
Being a lifelong student of math and science, I think I have a strong understanding of students' frustrations with the subjects having experienced many of them myself at one point or another. I can provide a fresh perspective to students and help them view problems in different ways that teachers may not have the time to do. ."

" As a result of such diverse opportunities, I’ve gained the patience, creativity, and experience needed to be a successful tutor in almost any subject. In addition, my college courses have provided me a breadth of knowledge applicable across all academic areas, as well as an understanding of how different individuals learn. I can relate to the challenges students face when approaching standardized tests, given that I’ve taken both the ACT and GRE within the last four years, and took 11 AP courses throughout high school. I chose to work with Varsity Tutors in particular because I believe that their unique focus on individualized, one on ...

"During my Masters, I worked as a research assistant and trained two interns in data analysis, statistics and worked with them in completing research projects. In the GRE (Graduate Record Exam) I scored 800/800 in math which helped me secure admission to University of Texas at Austin with a tuition waiver.

"
It is also my interest in learning that makes tutoring something I enjoy doing. As an undergraduate I spent time tutoring other students in several subject areas, including physics, chemistry, biology and math. Knowing that I helped someone have a better understanding of a subject is very rewarding. This is especially true for the sciences, an area many people dislike, because these subjects are often difficult to understand and can be frustrating to learn."

"Before becoming a lawyer I aspired to be an elementary school teacher and do have a teaching background. I minored in elementary education in college, student taught during my last semester, and also worked as a teacher's aide for our local Special School District. While most of my experience has been with elementary aged children, I am comfortable working with folks of all ages, including college and graduate students. I have tackled all sorts of problems in the legal field and hope to use the experience I gained while practicing to assist anyone who may need something to complement their current educational curriculum." ...

"According to various statistics of the Chicago land area, students find subjects in math and science to be the most difficult and therefore the least interesting. There are a wide variety of techniques to teach but the key is discovering the strategies each student learns best. Here is where the schoolteacher can sometimes come up short and where I can help. I not only devote my time in the in-class session with the student but also my personal time trying to find and develop new ways to better teach and interest the student."
