...I believe that every student is capable of succeeding in math and the sciences, two subjects that are notoriously difficult; the key is in the manner of teaching. As an experienced mathematician and tutor, I know that often students are not taught in a manner that is conducive to their learning. It's my job to find some method that encourages my students to not only succeed, but to thrive! I bring an infectious enthusiasm with...

...enjoy teaching because both the student and I can simultaneously improve in a process that never ceases to make us better. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy pretty much any activity that gets me outside, especially if that outside happens to be in the woods or near the beach (I am from Florida after all...). While outside, I usually find myself running (again, in the woods if possible), reading, or attempting to channel my inner-Ron...

...Physics at the college level as well. My favorite topics to tutor are Chemistry and Precalculus/Trigonometry. I am a patient teacher who can explain problems in many different ways according to how individual students learn best. I only ask that you know and explain to me what topics you do not know or get so far. I know that every student can learn a subject with a combination of practice and patience, but I insist...

...own. I specialize in the STEM fields, but I am also gifted in some of the fine arts. I am currently working toward obtaining my BS/MS in Nuclear and Radiological Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. As a tutor, I will give my all to help each and every student not only do well in their current class or on the standardized exam they preparing for, but to give them the skills necessary to...

...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.

I am a senior in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Eastern Michigan University, and I have been tutoring for about five years, from middle school to early college age students. My hobbies are painting/drawing, playing piano and guitar, and playing with my pet rats and my cat! ... I strive to work with every one of my students to build on their knowledge of topics, so that they have a full understanding of whatever subject we...

...to explain a reaction as a narrative of molecular interactions, rather than beginning with a complex problem. In the context of shifting careers, I have also taken a number of standardized tests, including the SAT, ACT, GRE, and MCAT. My approach with these tests emphasizes strategy over content; a particular vocabulary word may or may not appear on the actual test, but knowledge of how to approach a passage and its correlated questions will help...

...and physiology. In these classes my basic duties included supervising, mentoring and assisting students during a laboratory session, answering any questions and providing guidance both in and out of the lab in order to fully grasp the material. While as an undergraduate I was given the privilege of being recommended by one of my professors to privately tutor a student who was struggling in class. It was through this private tutoring that I realized I...

...work there has involved working individually with students in chemistry, physics, biology, earth science, various math classes, and a variety of electives. I have traditionally preferred tutoring physics and math, but recently constructed a chemistry course that has built my enthusiasm for that subject. I have had experience teaching students of many ages and abilities, and believe that patient and understanding instruction is paramount to a students success. I am very patient and caring, and...

...and Behavior) and Political Sciences with a certificate in Civic Education. Since graduating, I have started working with the Denver Math Fellows helping close the opportunity gap for high need students by providing small group math instruction. 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...

...at ease. Fostering an environment for learning involves allowing students to experiment with new knowledge and understand its limits. Incorrect answers are just as important as correct ones, in their own ways. I provide students with a safe atmosphere to discover both. I like working with middle and high school students mostly because they get my humor by that age. Younger students are just as fun because everything is new for them, and they're not...

My students find me very relatable, and I've heard from...

...student can surprise themselves with their own abilities is the best thing a tutor can ask for. For mathematics, I've taken up to Calculus BC in high school, and Multivariable Calculus at UCR. I understand the concepts, but I can also explain them using applicable examples. Really, math is like a language; you need to know the basics before you get speaking fluently. Math can be difficult, but it can be even more fun once...
