"I am enthusiastic and creative, and am constantly scanning the latest pedagogical literature to keep abreast of current teaching theories. My strengths lie in verbal expression, although I have a background in science (especially biology) as well. My specialty is helping to improve language/reading scores and writing/editing skills, as my perfect scores in the verbal portions of the SAT and the GRE demonstrate. I have lived/studied in France for a year, and am extremely proficient in the language."

" I have taught government, English, world religions, history, and psychology in the past. I scored in the top 98th percentile on the LSAT and specialize in helping students using proven techniques to increase their scores. Specifically, I can help students more easily break down the types of logic games and to distinguish between right and wrong answers in the logical reasoning and reading comprehension sections. I enjoy helping others obtain their educational goals, and would love to help increase your test scores, grades, or simply to understand your subject area better.." ...

" In short, I believe in the modern-day revival of the Renaissance man. When it comes to teaching and tutoring, I love that light bulb moment we get when something finally starts to make sense. I'm addicted to it. I love getting that feeling when I learn something new and I love spreading that feeling to others. I am encouraging and patient with my students and have a knack for making seemingly senseless problems feel relevant and practical. Most importantly, I believe in actually teaching students how to approach and solve problems as opposed to simply doing it for them." ...

"While I love teaching and tutoring, I am a research scientist at the core with plans to continue graduate school in neuroscience after spending several years working in the biochemistry industry.
I moved back to St. Louis after graduating to work at a local biochemistry firm. I tutor in my spare time because I enjoy it.
I love helping people learn but ultimately, my goal is not to be needed in the future."

" I have tutored different levels ranging from highschool (all subjects) through College level (mainly math, physics, and biology) and have also helped people prepare for the ACT and ASVAB. I have seen many of my students improve and feel that it is all about finding how the course of study relates to you. As my mentor for my Interior Design program told me, "I don't understand it unless I can clearly see how I can use it". I truly agree with this statement. I feel like if you do not see how the information will be used in your life, you can develop a mental block against it." ...
