...5 years now, and have absolutely loved it! I enjoy working with kids, and helping students develop academically and prepare themselves for important tests like the SAT and ACT is very fulfilling for me. I have an excellent academic record and have done very well on standardized tests such as the SAT and the LSAT. I understand the skills and strategies needed to succeed on these tests, and how to present them to students in...

...be fun and interesting. I studied Linguistics in college, which trained me in the critical thinking skills necessary for teaching Grammar, Foreign Languages, ESL, Math, and standardized test prep.

I love working with students individually or in small groups, and I readily change my lesson...

...have had the opportunity to both teach classes and tutor individuals. For me, working with students was one of the most enjoyable parts of graduate school, which is why I'm continuing to tutor even as I branch out into other areas of interest. While I am comfortable working with students in a variety of areas, I particularly enjoy tutoring students in organic chemistry. Many students find organic chemistry daunting, but it can really be fun!...

I am an interested and enthusiastic tutor, and have many years of experience working with students at all levels. I enjoy tutoring and my enjoyment often rubs off on my tutees. I am willing to take however long is necessary for the tutee to understand. I am also willing to try multiple approaches if what I am currently trying is not working.

I'm Erin and I'm a sophomore at American University. I know what it's like to struggle in a subject and I want to help in whatever why I can. Everyone learns differently and I will work with you until we find a way that works for you.

...study skills, critical reading, writing, time-management and test-taking. I particularly enjoy helping students with writing research papers and essays.

In my current position as an AVID Coordinator, I am responsible for leading my program of 160+ students to academic success through mentoring, tutoring,...

...math/science tutor since 2012. I'm an energetic and happy teacher and I absolutely LOVE what I do! I really didn't have the best math teacher in high school and I know how it feels not being able to understand a concept. That's why I'm committed to your success. I'm confident that after our very first lesson, concepts will make sense and you will experience a dramatic change in the way you see the Math world....

...working to eliminate idling on public school buses. In high school, I converted my 1984 diesel to run on waste vegetable oil. I try to bring a level of enthusiasm towards tutoring math that is normally reserved for every other subject besides math. I do not believe that anyone is naturally good or bad at math, but some people have better luck with finding teachers that connect with them in a meaningful way. I find...

...work on with the student prior to the session, and always go over quickly with the basics to make them feel confident and comfortable enough to ask doubts in between without any hesitation. Also after each session I provide them with related study guides and homework. In my free time I like to watch movies, spend time with my girls and friends.Summer time I do gardening and like to grow my own vegetables.

...University of Maryland. I graduated from Saint Leo University with a biomedical sciences degree and a math minor. I played college baseball for 4 years. I'm from Florida so my favorite thing to do is spend time on the water wake boarding and fishing. I've always tutored in some way throughout my college career and love doing it. My main areas of focus are the DAT, NBDE part 1, GRE, GMAT, SAT/ACT test preparation, math...

...using a lot of visuals, because I think that they tend to be more easily retained than just words. I also like to use a lot of examples, so that students understand the real world applications of different concepts, and they can not only do well on exams, but can also use that knowledge in the future. Aside from tutoring and academics, I love to do any sort of outdoor activity. I really love playing...

...the social sciences in humanities. As a Writing Tutor, I coached students through all steps of the writing process, from developing a research paper and crafting a thesis statement, to editing for clarity and grammar.

I worked in elementary school classrooms and developed lesson plans where students practiced English in an interactive environment to improve their conversational speaking and listening...

I have also worked as a private tutor, editor/copyeditor and technical writer. I look forward to working with you. ... I like taking 5 minutes, putting the books to the side, and asking the student to tell me about themselves, what they like to do, and...

I taught weekly group and one-on-one lessons in South Korea that covered test prep, critical reading, and essay writing My philosophy for teaching is that my students not only improve in their academic potential, but also become engaged with the material and understand the purpose of what they are learning. I have always applied my students' feedback on what they want to learn...

I have experience tutoring in middle school English, math, and science, and high school English, social studies, and essay revision.

One student hated writing essays, but loved playing the guitar...

...pursue my passion for horseback riding by training with Olympian Phillip Dutton for a year. During this time, I achieved many personal riding goals in addition to teaching younger riding students the ropes of riding. After my year of training, I took a job with an equestrian product company. I assisted in marketing, sales, and operations management. I truly missed teaching and inspiring students; therefore, I began to teach some riding lessons again as well...

...I am of the firm belief that education can change lives. That certainly doesn't mean it's easy. No one is good at everything, and sometimes all it takes is an outside push, or someone to explain the issue a different way. Tutoring can provide that missing element -- whether it's a sudden "I get it!" moment or a more gradual path to understanding. As for me, I graduated from Macalester College, a well-known liberal arts...
