Award-Winning ACT Science Tutors in Akron, OH

...high school, I was a member of the Peer Tutoring and Mentoring Club and enjoy working with students, primarily in math and science. My favorite subject is physics because it combines science with math and is actually applicable to real life. My learning philosophy is to just do practice problems. The more practice, the easier each problem will be. Somebody can spend all day just studying notes, but he or she will learn best by...

...underserved youth in Lansing, Michigan. This passion stuck with me as I began my undergraduate education at Saint Louis University. Following the Jesuit ideals emphasized at SLU, I continued tutoring underprivileged youth in north St. Louis. I love sharing my passion for education with my students. During my senior year at SLU, I became a Physics TA and taught a class of 30 students the fundamentals of applied physics. On my journey to medical school,...

...Tutor as well. At Tri-C, I do more than just science and math though. Social Studies, Psychology, basic IT, and English are some of the other subjects I help students conquer. I firmly stand by the statement that every person has the ability to learn, just in different ways. I have experienced this on a day to day basis not only with my own siblings and children, but the students at Tri-C who have learned...

...exposure to teaching Mathematics has been with students ranging in age primarily from middle school through early college years. In addition I have taught online, in the traditional classroom as well as tutoring one on one. The schools have been private, public, urban and rural. Having been in a large urban district mandatory and voluntary professional development sessions were completed. To be most effective and remain relevant I attend workshops, consult with other educators...... The philosophy that has proven effective with the students I have taught is to first address the whole student, not just their academic responsibilities. By taking into consideration obstacles, such as mindset and past experiences of the student, barriers are alleviated that impede as well as negatively impact progress. Once in the proper frame of mind the student can focus, because any anxieties have been minimized or eliminated with the goal of building confidence which is the beginning of success.

...Biomedical Engineering BS candidate at Notre Dame College. Outside of school I am a resident assistant, a varsity soccer player, and member of the biology, chemistry, and philosophy clubs. Additionally I volunteer through a local nonprofit at various nursing homes, as well as coach 8-12 year olds at my previous soccer club, Cleveland United. My hobbies include playing soccer and playing the guitar. I am happy to help with Mathematics and Science related subjects!... Beyond striving to ensure that students learn the fundamental content of the courses I tutor, my objectives as a tutor are as follows: (a) to foster critical thinking skills; (b) to facilitate the acquisition of lifelong learning skills; and (c) to help students develop evidence-based clinical problem-solving strategies. Furthermore, my overall teaching philosophy is based on two principles, which are supported extensively in the literature: (a) active student learning strongly influences student-learning outcomes; and (b) assessment procedures strongly influence student acquisition of knowledge.

...tutoring students while attending classes. I've lived around the Cleveland area all my life, and just moved from downtown to Parma Heights. I believe most students who struggle with math and science actually fail at the first hurdle, not firmly understanding the meaning of the material. I think a natural discussion about the material is necessary to see where the student is confused and how they can understand it intuitively is needed both before and...

...my Bachelors degree from the University of Pennsylvania, also in Materials Science. In addition, I have a minor in Chinese Language and Culture. I have always loved learning and science, which is why I pursued the highest possible degree. I just want to pass my love on through tutoring. I have tutored grades 1 though 12 from reading and phonics all the way to calculus and chemistry. I have also worked on test prep and...

...really student-focused. I very much strive to tailor my tutoring to each student???s needs, as every student is unique in their needs and preferences. I work towards full comprehension, talking through their thinking processes, and helping them learn through their own mechanisms. I teach them the skills, strategies, and content, and I give students the confidence to utilize these to improve their studies. I reinforce the foundations of what they are learning, and particularly in test...

...very patient and caring person. This isn't "just a job" to me; I really want to see your children do their best! I try my best to make sure your child is invested and "checked-in" during our sessions. I assign homework (not too much!) and I expect it to be done. I like to laugh and consider myself pretty laid back. I strive to help your children understand they will get what they give out...

...sciences including general chemistry, genetics, and physics. I look forward to working with students of all ages and expanding my subject areas to topics outside the sciences, such as mathematics and test preparation (ACT, MCAT, et al). I firmly believe education is the key to success and am fortunate to have the opportunity to help students achieve their academic goals. Beyond tutoring, I enjoy running, going to the beach, listening to music, and cheering on...
