"I've always been passionate about learning, and I love to share that passion with others through teaching. I have a year worth of tutoring experience at the undergraduate level, and a year and a half worth of experience working with undergraduates in the classroom as a teaching assistant. I excelled academically in high school and college, but I believe the true test of knowledge is to be able to teach it so that anyone can understand it. I look forward to meeting you and helping you to expand your academic knowledge and confidence!." ...

" I am generally laid back in my approach to teaching and strongly believe that EVERYONE can succeed in math and science. The nice thing about these subjects is that there is a right answer and there is always a way to get to it.
About my style…I love when students have questions. It will help me to help you. I remember hating when my teachers didn’t take the time in class to explain the answers to my questions and I promise that whether you want the long or short answer I will give it to you or research it until I can."

"I am currently enrolled in the Reading Specialist Certification program at La Salle University. I do not believe that there is such a thing as an "average" student. I believe that each student is unique; no two students learn in exactly the same way. When the goal is common, deep understanding of the same material by all students in a classroom, it is imperative that the individual needs and abilities of each student are addressed to the best of the teacher's ability. For this reason, I believe that the most effective way for students to learn is individually with an experienced facilitator or in small groups with others who share ...

"I began tutoring at Penn State's writing center, where I worked with undergraduate and graduate students from all fields of study to address their concerns about their personal essays and research papers to cover letters and thesis papers.

"I do not believe someone can successfully explain a subject without first having a deep and thorough understanding of the subject themself. However, someone can have all the knowledge in the world, but it would be useless if they could not patiently and efficiently instruct others. When it comes to math tutoring, I am particularly qualified in both regards. In June, I graduated summa cum laude in <a>Mathematics</a> from the Honors College at the University of Oregon (GPA: 4.02). In my education, I studied both a broad and deep mathematical curriculum, received a fellowship to conduct <a ...
