Neuroscience Major, Princeton University 2020

Hello! My name is Alex Willoughby and I'm a rising third year student in the honors mathematics and computer science program at Carnegie Mellon University. I have about a year of experience teaching in math and computer science and I've been a teaching assistant at CMU since last semester. I'm open to teaching any STEM subject or standardized test preparation. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thank you!

...in Creative Writing. I'm very passionate about the intersection of the brain with advocacy, as I enjoy writing and learning about how neuroscience affects equity, healthcare, and mental health. While I tutor in a broad range of subjects, I'm most passionate about Biology, English, and test prep. I think that there's a wonderful connection between the STEM and Humanities, in the sense that we cannot fully appreciate STEM without immersing ourselves in humanities subjects, and...

...ability for tutoring/teaching other students. Since then, I have tutored many college and high school students in various subjects such as college admissions exam, college admissions essays, biology, chemistry, high school math and even the GRE. My unique and personalized approach for each student makes me a well-qualified and valued tutor. I take into account the student's interests, hobbies, learning style, learning pace and goals to holistically tutor the student in the desired subjects. In...

...that time with Uncommon Schools, one of the country's premier charter school networks. To me, there is nothing nobler than encouraging and coaching kids to be successful, along the way building scholarly habits that will last a lifetime. I have always prided myself on taking responsibility for my students' growth and achievement, and taking that responsibility personally! While I am able to tutor a broad range of subjects, and across a wide-range of grade-levels, I...

I'm a graduate of Questrom School of Business at Boston University. I studied Finance and Accounting.

...a stress-free environment where my students and I can have fun learning together. Students enjoy my fun and easy-going style even as I challenge them to solve problems through their own critical reasoning. Nothing gives me more satisfaction than when a student tells me "I'm really starting to enjoy learning about this," because in my experience, this is a preliminary step towards personal ownership of their academic pursuits. Guardians value my commitment to their student's...

...Wesleyan University, where I majored in a program that combined history, philosophy, and literature. Since graduating college in 2013, I've taught ESL in Valparaiso, Chile, worked as a substitute teacher and after school educator in Philadelphia, and mentored young writers in Iowa City. For me, learning isn't just about gaining specific knowledge and skills. It's about the excitement that comes from encountering new things, and about growing into a more confident and capable version of...

...I have always found it hard to find a teacher who is willing to alter their teaching style in order for me to learn. Thus, I try my best to understand a students learning style so that I can teach in a manner they will understand the most. I have tutored students between the ages of 3 and 18 in reading and math until the college level. I have also taught children between ages 3-12...

I am passionate on helping students to achieve their dreams through education so I will do my best to help them succeed not only in subject matters but in life too.

...have been tutoring students since my sophomore year in high school. I have a passion for problem solving, and I love working with students because they often allow me to observe problems from new perspectives. I view tutoring as a win-win relationship. Not only do I have the opportunity to enrich students' knowledge and intuition in a variety of concepts, but I also get the chance improve my own understanding of concepts by gaining perspective.

I love working with my students and think that teaching is the most rewarding job there is! It is the best feeling when I see my student solving the math problems they couldn't before and more importantly, enjoying learning. I always give my 110% for my students for the improvement and confidence in themselves.

When I was in the ninth grade, one algebra tutor changed my whole perspective on mathematics and showed me that it wasn't as scary as I initially thought. Since then, I realized the power a teacher holds in shaping young minds, and I aim to do the same with my students. Additionally, I have approximately eight years of tutoring experience as well as two years of experience as a co-teacher in an elementary school.

...problem that students have with teachers is that they teach for questions and not concepts. I will help students with hard concepts by relating real world or exaggerated examples, and I find that this really helps students. I love tutoring all types of math as well as some sciences such as chemistry and physics. I have experience in all of these subjects for students from grades 7 to students in college. I am majoring in...

...and I am excited to help get you or your child a boost in school or in studying for an upcoming test. I am an incoming freshmen at Rutgers University Honors College, intending to major in Math and Philosophy on a pre-law track. In my free time I love to read, play chess, soccer, and basketball, and volunteer. I am also very involved with several types of debate and speech competitions. Please feel free to...

...strategies for students.

I taught children from diverse backgrounds and language levels, and I particularly utilized creative and artistic projects, in order to generate enthusiasm and learning. These projects included the production of a 20-minute play, an "American Idol"- style competition, and a host...

I have been an Adjunct Professor in fashion business since 2016 and love working one-on-one with students to build confidence and identify their root source of motivation while of course building knowledge and develop critical thinking skills. I'm...

...if flashcards arent their preferred study method. This way, we have a starting point to work from. A tutor should put in just as much effort as their student is putting in. From my perspective, successful tutoring involves equal input and effort from both parties involved. Second, I identify the learning style of the student and ask them questions about what learning methods they prefer. This way, I can adjust the way I tutor in...

...Undergrad and will be going into Medical School in July. Tutoring has always been one of my favorite hobbies. I love working with students of all change. One of my favorite parts of tutoring is the ah-hah moment. When I here ah-hah moment from the student, the joy I feel is unparalleled to any other joy.
