Although my tutoring specialty is test prep...

Hi, I'm Jonathan Yushuvayev (Don't worry about pronouncing that correctly)! I really love math and science, almost as much as I love TUTORING math and science. Please don't be hesitant to contact me -Jonathan ... My teaching philosophy is that teachers/educators need to tailor their methods to the student.... I use icebreakers.... By practicing questions, and looking up things he or she doesn't understand.... I would relate the material to the student's life to show him...

...He said, "You break it down so that a six-year-old could understand it." This is the level of understanding I aim to impart to all my students. I firmly believe that a thorough understanding of fundamental concepts allows one ownership of an entire subject. Such understanding provides a student with a level of confidence that even the trickiest test question cannot shake. It is my personal belief that education provides the means to enjoy life...

...worked with special needs children at a summer camp, coached a youth water polo team and a girl's club volleyball team, and have helped to develop and teach a clinical bioengineering program for undergraduate engineers.

Later this year, I will begin a fellowship at the Center for Primary Care at Harvard Medical School. I look...

...teacher, I am passionate about helping students achieve academic success, and I will bring that same passion and creativity to any tutoring opportunity. Every student is different, and each has his or her own academic needs. I strive to find the best -- and most enjoyable -- way to tutor each student to accommodate individual learning styles. Other than English and education, my biggest passions are music, theater, and sports. I love to sing and...

...However, my experience as a tutor extends beyond this; since middle school, I've been teaching elementary and middle school math and science at my local library. As a tutor, I'm passionate about math and science: this includes subjects from elementary math/science to AP courses like AP Biology, AP Calculus AB, and AP Environmental Science. I've also scored very well on standardized exams (35 on the ACT, National Merit Finalist recognition for the PSAT), so I...

...the Philadelphia region. My undergraduate degrees are in French and Theatre, with a minor in Linguistics. I specialize in tutoring in French, English reading, writing and comprehension, and ACT reading and writing prep.

During my career I have taught English, Creative Writing, African American Literature, Filmmaking, Introduction to Communications, Journalism, World History, American History and African American...

...science for two years in college and have always found myself in mentoring positions. I find immense fulfillment in helping others understand difficult concepts, and feel as though my patient and creative personality truly helps people feel comfortable while struggling through new material. As a tutor, I value the advantage of being able to work with a student one on one. A teacher is bound to time limits and must divide their attention to a...

...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, I have...

...at risk or are currently failing, and before school, I offer supplementary SAT help to our school's most advanced students. Now, I am seeking teaching positions for writing as I transition to graduate school next year at Columbia University for fiction. My entire academic career has focused on meaning that could be derived from literature, and articulating those ideas through written or verbal communication. When I began teaching, I emphasized to my students the importance...

As a high school student, I vividly remember preparing for the SAT and hope to use the tactics that I learned to help other students who may need improvement! I firmly believe in helping students and adapting to their individual needs and skill sets. In my spare time, I love to watch football and play sports with my friends....

...they are coming from. This ability to listen is crucial also for tutoring and understanding a child's academic needs. In working with patients, I also regularly break down tough scientific concepts into every-day language that they can relate to. This is another very important skill to have when working with students who may be struggling to understand difficult technical concepts. I am confident that my years of academic experience will serve well in helping your...

...process of guiding a student to where he or she is able to solve a problem or explain a concept independently. As a tutor, I endeavor not to simply "lecture" or tell the student the steps to solving a problem. Instead, I try to guide the student through the inquiry process, so that he or she is doing most of the mental heavy lifting. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy running, hiking, reading, and spending time...

...style comes from my understanding and experience of the learning process. In order to improve their skills, students need motivation (a sense of the rewards and excitement of learning), practice, and mentorship. For each student, these three elements come in different forms, and as a tutor, my job is to provide an "in" to the subject matter for each individual. In other words, one size does not fit all, and I tailor my approach based...

...tutoring since 2002, throughout college and grad school and while doing neuroscience research. I love tutoring one-on-one because I can get to know students and gear the lessons toward their interests, which helps them learn more quickly, retain new skills better, and enjoy the tutoring sessions more. I particularly enjoy teaching science, writing, and test prep. With test prep I've found that supplemental work on fundamental skills helps students improve their scores much more than...
