...program. The majority of my tutoring experience came during college, while working with classmates to help raise their grades in multiple biology courses, including Genetics, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Developmental Biology, and Evolutionary Biology. However, I've tutored other classmates in German, Spanish, chemistry, and physics. In addition to college courses, I've worked with classmates and colleagues to improve their GRE and MCAT scores, with the most improvement seen in the Critical Reading sections. I'm happy to work...

...these assignments were either papers or exam essays. In eight history classes, I have gotten seven A's and one A-. I attribute much of my success largely to my writing skills, especially my outlining and revising strategies. I have also done very well in my standardized tests, including a 34 on my ACT, a 168 on my LSAT, and very good scores on my AP exams (three 4's and two 5's). My specialties are helping students...

...be attending law school next year. My areas of expertise are Political Science and Government, History, Writing, and ACT prep. I teach a weekly course to underserved youth for ACT prep and have done well personally on both the ACT and the LSAT. My philosophy is to guide you in your search to find the correct answers - not to give them to you. I am extremely goal-oriented, and I look forward to helping you...

...and minoring in math. I am a very big fan of chemistry and calculus, namely because of the relevant connections that can be made between these subjects and our everyday life. During the week, you can find me doing research in the lab, talking to students about getting involved in research labs as an undergraduate in my position as a Research Ambassador, or volunteering at KUs Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Center. On the weekends,...

...a sense of satisfaction to not only the tutor but the person being tutored. Whenever learning a difficult concept, the first thing I usually do is look it up on Google. Sometimes the answers aren't there, and sometimes they are there, but too difficult to understand. In this case, the first thing I do is send the problem to a friend and ask if they can help. Sometimes they can help, and sometimes they can't....

...The Ohio State University with a degree in philosophy. I look forward to tutoring as an opportunity to help students discover their strengths in subjects they find difficult or unnecessarily complicated. I believe that anyone can learn anything, as long as they are taught well. Given my background in philosophy, I am familiar with transforming the unbearably boring into the deeply fascinating. I hope to help students learn that such transformations are fully within their...

...value I hold dearest. Rather than tutor for the sake of hours, I hope to spend my time and the time of my clients effectively. I aim to not only improve test scores, but to set students up so they may efficiently study without a tutor. I hope to not only have an impact on students during the few hours I see them, but to improve their study habits for a lifetime's impact.

...I grew up in a household with 3 younger brothers who I've spent many nights staying up late working on homework with them. I was also a volunteer for the A+ program here in Missouri where I spent time tutoring students at local elementary schools on various subjects. As a student who struggled with motivation in school through much of my early childhood, I can relate to many students and help connect with them and...

Through 10 years of teaching at three different colleges, I know that great learning comes through individual advising sessions and conversations that allow students to address their concerns, develop their skills, and work on their goals.

...opportunities. That is why as an educator I am passionate about helping students reach their goals and succeed. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Florida State University with degrees in Marketing and Psychology. I then substituted for VPK through Elementary age students along with after school tutoring. I joined Teach for America where I taught English, and ACT prep for 2 years. I also obtained my masters and teaching certification in English Education. I tutor...

I think that in order to teach someone you have to figure out how they learn. I've been tutoring for about 4 years and I love it!... Everyone learns in different ways and at different speeds. To really help someone learn, you have to figure out what works best for them.... During the first tutoring session with a new student, I like to get to know a little about them, find out where they think they...

...studying Global and International Studies and German. I am working towards entering law school after this coming year. I taught swimming lessons when I was in high school. I am available to tutor German I and II and the ACT. I like to tutor German because I love the culture and the language (and have visited Germany twice). My style of tutoring is more laid back, but I like to focus on areas that students...

...subjects under the sun; however, I am leaning towards Majors in English and Classical Philology. On Monday and Wednesday afternoons, a group of my colleagues and me visit a nearby grade school to help Fourth through Eighth Graders with their Math and Reading. I love college, but I try to step outside the "ivory tower" once in a while. Outside academics, I enjoy riding my bike, playing soccer and basketball, reading, and holding rich conversation....

I have over eight years experience tutoring, mostly in math and science, but other subjects as well. I attempt to find analogous concepts from a student's other interests or daily experiences to make abstract concepts more understandable. I believe that generally, grasping a concept follows on from realizing it's not so foreign as we used to think.

...of the best schools are experiencing students are not able to receive the personal attention that some of them need to be at their best. That is why tutoring can be so valuable. I am able to work one on one with a student which allows me to devote all my time to helping them with their particular problems. I am able to help students understand what it is they are being asked to do,...

...Mizzou. After getting my master's, I joined Teach For America and taught high school English for two years. Most recently, I taught composition and developmental English at Penn Valley Community College. My approach to tutoring is non-directive. I ask questions to help guide students to answers, which helps them practice critical thinking skills and deduction, rather than rote memorization. Overall, this leads to a greater understanding of concepts and a better ability to recall information...

...to provide students with conceptual knowledge and understanding of the topics, which will allow them to become independent, life-long learners. No matter your current skill level, I can meet you where you are and help you cross your academic finish line!

As such, I have extensive knowledge in the fields of Chemistry (high school, inorganic, organic), History (Europe and the...

Currently, I work as a freelance copywriter. I have...
