Award-Winning 4th Grade Science Tutoring

...in photovoltaic reliability. In high school and college, I have gained experience mentoring peers and helping them not only succeed, but enjoy their school work. I believe that for a student to have an effective learning experience, the tutor must not only be passionate about teaching, but also about learning. As a passionate learner, I try to interpret the world around me, be that math, science, or why my garden behaves differently in Colorado than...

...am working towards becoming a physician, and I expect to attend medical school next year. I have scored at the 100th percentile for the Physical Sciences portion of the MCAT. My Chemistry, Physics, and Biology knowledge is quite extensive. I have always been fascinated by science and medicine. I have been tutoring for 3 years, and I have experience teaching from 1st grade students all the way up to college kids. I enjoy tutoring because...

...love dark chocolate and Thai food anytime, any day. My favorite subject to teach is Math, because I like to work with numbers! I strongly believe in incentives. I believe that setting small treats for each goal you reach will motivate you to do better, as long as you set your mind to it. I have a passion to teach and see others grow better as a student! I hope that as your tutor, I...

...my time working to teach clients new skills and improve their lives. My most fulfilling moments are when a student is finally able to independently complete a task they weren't able to before. This comes through in my tutoring. I utilize BST (behavior skills training) and a variety of best teaching practices from the field of ABA to help my students quickly master subjects to fluency. I am positive, I am patient, and I am...

...can be learned by any student, even those for whom it might feel a little more challenging. Working as a tutor for biology, organic chemistry, general chemistry, and neuroscience, I actively implemented this philosophy, finding creative ways to approach complex concepts. For example, I might steer a writing student studying organic chemistry to explain a reaction as a narrative of molecular interactions, rather than beginning with a complex problem. In the context of shifting careers,...

...getting my masters in chemical and biomolecular engineering. I have spent a lot of time around children and I have spent a good amount of time teaching as well. I want all students that I tutor to feel comfortable when I am tutoring them and I believe all students have the ability to improve. I am very comfortable teaching all subjects for grades up to 9th grade and, when dealing with high school courses, I...

...and they are more likely to be excited about their academics! Also, I know from experience that a good tutor is capable of helping a student through a specific subject or class; but, a great tutor can transform the way a student operates in all of their academic work and prepare them to be an even better student across the board. I strive for the latter as a tutor. So that you can have a...

...of all ages, with stints at organizations such as United Cerebral Palsy, The Delta Gamma Center for Children with Visual Impairment, Northeastern Association of the Blind at Albany and the Statler Center for Careers in Hospitality. Teaching has always been a passion throughout all of these endeavors, having graduated from Southern Illinois University Carbondale with my Bachelor's in Special Education degree in 2009. Through student teaching, tutoring in college for AmeriCorps, and my professional experiences,...

...University. Upon completion of my graduate work in environmental and occupational health from the University of North Carolina (MS and PhD), I taught Industrial Hygiene (worker health and safety) at Purdue University for 32 years. The four most important underpinnings of the field of Industrial Hygiene are: 1) working with and caring about people, 2) a strong foundation in mathematics, 3) a strong foundation in science and 4) the ability to problem solve. I feel...

...it comes to ACT, I know how to elevate a student to his or her maximum potential. Pure knowledge alone is not good enough to do well on the test. I have a number of tips and tricks up my sleeve that will help you go into the exam with confidence! Most importantly, I am very sensitive to each of my students individual needs. I keep all of my lessons light-hearted yet focused to minimize...

...very excited on the first day of every semester to meet my new students! It is my goal to make all the material relevant and interesting. I want my students to be as excited as me to learn each and every class. While I currently teach college students professionally, I still really enjoy tutoring younger students. I have worked with students from kindergarten all the way to 12th grade, teaching math, computers, English, and Spanish....

...as a unique learner. Every student learns differently and my goal is to find out what makes them tick in order to open the doors to understanding the topic. As a tutor, I strive to get my students to not only learn the knowledge, but truly understand. I have been working in the education field since 2007 and I am familiar with various techniques. My approach to education is very hands-on and inquiry based.... I like to keep things as simple as possible when teaching, and rely on pen, paper, and the "Socratic Method" as much as possible. Computers certainly have their place in the modern learning environment, but my goal as a teacher ultimately is to help students learn how to learn and to get excited about the subject matter, rather than just stuff their heads with lots of (to them, anyway) meaningless and disjointed facts and figures.

...by building confidence, voice and academic empowerment. My primary focus is on student engagement and building a tutor-student relationship based on trust, honesty and open-mindedness. I see student success beyond just comprehension or memorization. I help students to truly synthesize the skills and concepts they need to feel confident in their internalization of the knowledge as they reach their goals. I am available throughout the week, including summer! Let me help you help yourself!

...environment, while simultaneously adapting to the public school curriculum. I am also a certified ESL/TESOL teacher and have experience teaching groups of students as well as providing individual lessons. Working in different environments, with a diverse range of students, encouraged me to explore more creative tutoring methods in order to understand and communicate ideas. Through my experience as a tutor, I developed a multifaceted approach to teaching and learning; a style that is adaptable and...

I am a kindergarten teacher with the Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools. I have taught lower elementary for 6 years. Teaching is my passion. I believe that all children can learn, no matter their background or challenges. My favorite part of teaching is when a student has finally understood the content, and I can see the excitement in his/her face!... I believe that all students can learn, no matter their backgrounds or challenges. I approach teaching with an open, creative mind, using student's strengths and interests to help improve their weaknesses. I believe that not all students learn at the same pace and sometimes need another approach to master a skill.

...I find the most excitement in tutoring middle school math and science, Algebra I, and General Biology. I find that for most students what makes any subject hard is being unable to use what you already know and not knowing how to tackle the subject. I want to help students by giving them multiple access points and allowing them to access whatever content they desire at their current level. I believe the most important way...

...in web applications development. One of my biggest passions in life is to see others succeed and reach their goals. This is why I enjoy tutoring and helping in the community in one way or another. I hope I can make anyone's learning experience exciting, fun, and as personable as possible. We, all tutors, have been in your shoes once, so I know how you feel. I want to be able to provide all kind...

...very passionate about tutoring after my experience volunteering as a tutor for patients at the Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital. Throughout my volunteer experience, I have been able to help tutor a wide variety of age groups ranging from pre-school to high school students and across a wide array of subjects with a primary focus on math and science. In addition, during college, I greatly enjoyed tutoring my fellow peers across different science...

...a Milwaukee area elementary school with 60 wonderful 4th and 5th graders. With so many students in my classroom, I have a lot of experience working with many different types of learners. Even though I am certified in and enjoy teaching all elementary subjects, I enjoy teaching math and science the most! I recently asked my students what they enjoyed most about our class, and the resounding answer was that they love that we have...
