...I and World History. Whatever I am teaching I try to make it a fun and interesting experience for both the students and myself. When tutoring I try to make it a personalized, individual experience for the student.

It has definitely been an interesting adjustment going from a full-time, classroom...

...love of teaching into higher level courses. I currently tutor in the above topics, with a specific passion for Biology, Chemistry, and test preparation. As a tutor, I strive to challenge students beyond fundamentals, while focusing on and accommodating individual needs and individual learning styles. As an sewing and crafting enthusiast, I understand that with practice, tenacity, and perseverance comes success, a lesson I apply to my life and to my tutoring.... Before entering into any teaching, I believe it is important to discuss the concerns the student has toward the material as well as their prior exposure to tutoring and study aids. This approach allows me to directly address their needs and insecurities, thus quickly increasing their confidence. This confidence boost encourages the tutoring process and helps associate learning with positive emotions (something everyone needs when working through tough or confusing material).

I am in my second year as an undergraduate at UC Berkeley. I am an intended physics major and pre-medical student, so I plan to go to medical school. I have a strong passion for physics, though I also thoroughly enjoy chemistry and math. I have experience tutoring elementary and high school students, and would be comfortable working with college students in subjects I am qualified to teach.... I believe that the best way to learn is by teaching others: in explaining a difficult concept, one may often discover where one is less comfortable with the material. I hope to use this strategy to ensure that my students have a deep and complete understanding of the material. I am excellent at encouraging and motivating my students. I hope my passion for teaching will translate into enthusiasm in my students.

...gravitate towards teaching ACT and SAT prep. I believe my work as an actor and director aids my ability to communicate and listen to students.

When teaching, I focus not on simply communicating the...

...special pleasure in prepping students for the SAT. It is a fundamentally understandable test with a limited number of patterns and question types that can be mastered with practice. The formulaic nature of the test gives me the privilege and joy of being able to reveal a manageable and orderly structure to students who had previously seen only a confusing mess of problems. Similarly, I take great joy in walking students through the mental process...

And, (mostly) unrelated to my tutoring abilities, I am also an old movie aficionado, lover of fantasy novels,...

...think the value in me as a tutor is teaching students how to solve problems on their own, instead of just relying on me to give them the answers.

I am able to put myself in their shoes and help them guide through each problem, essay, and assignment.

My goal as a tutor is to help students not only be able to answer the specific question in front of them, but to understand the deeper concepts and ideas behind the question. That way, you're not tripped up during exam time...
