I am also currently teaching English online and...

I want my students to learn! I love learning and want to share what I know! I know school and test preparation can be stressful. I remember taking the SSATs, PSATs, and the SAT and I remember that it wasn't all that much fun. However, with preparation, there are many rewards to learning, test taking and academic success! With hard work, preparation and a little help, my students will have lots to brag about too!

...has their own unique teaching style and mine is to take an approach that is catered to the student, so I like to ask the student what they feel they need the most assistance on. My goal is to help them on what they believe they are struggling on, but also to help them on what I believe they are struggling on. Outside of academia I am most interested in sports! I love playing pickup...

...explain the concept in words, without looking at notes, then they can do good on any examination testing the understanding of that concept. Based on this philosophy, I think that the best way to teach is to create a more interactive form of learning, where both tutor and student are actively involved in the process. I like to teach using a lot of visuals, because I think that they tend to be more easily retained...

...have been college students in need of help with General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry. My teaching style centers on explaining concepts and making students think there way through problems. I find many students are unsure of exactly how to study for Math exams and I believe I provide good instruction for how students may best prepare in their personal study time. Generally, when students have difficulty with problems I prefer to have them work them...

...Physics is not only the study of how our universe works, opening up beautiful vistas into nature, but also phenomenal training in problem solving, analytical thinking, and using the math that sometimes seems so abstract. Tutoring allows me to not only share my love of these things with others, it also gives me the privilege of creating rapport with students who want to learn. I love the "A-ha!" moments when a student understands something new,...

I love learning and teaching equally, truly believing that there is never a limit to knowledge. However, the area I like to teach most is test-taking. I recognize that test-taking can be a daunting endeavor for some students, but by working together, I find that often we can eliminate this fear through practice and true engagement!
