...and move on. My goal is to develop the student's understanding to the point where they will not need to ask me for help because I will have taught them well enough to use their knowledge in a logical way to solve problems. I have extensive experience in all of the subjects listed in my profile, and I particularly enjoy tutoring in various math subjects and standardized tests. If you want a tutor who is...

...others. I grew up on the West Coast but made my way east for college, graduating from Johns Hopkins University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. From there, I joined Teach for America and taught in New Orleans for six years. In addition to being a trivia nut, I'm also a big foodie (love cooking and eating!), and a total sports junkie (GO HAWKS!). As for tutoring, I specialize in high school math, and I...

...high school English, as well as Math I and II. I have also taught College Prep, which includes not only SAT and ACT prep but also coaching for college admissions essays. Back in my student days, I studied like a maniac and took more standardized tests than I care to remember. As a result, I was admitted to UChicago for undergrad and to Yale for my Ph.D. I'll be happy to pass on all of...

...in Religious Studies at UNC Chapel Hill, looking to supplement my stipend with some tutoring jobs. I take my role as an educator very seriously, committing a great deal of time and energy to my courses at the University, and drawing upon my experience as both a high school and middle school teacher in the past. I have always enjoyed working with kids in recreational (summer camp) and educational capacities, and hope to do the...

...and biology. As a science major and experienced tutor, I understand that the sciences pose unique and varied challenges to students. One of my primary goals is to meet students where they are, understand their specific needs, and develop an individualized plan that challenges them and helps them succeed. To this end, I do not follow a specific formula during sessions with my students. Instead, I work with my students to build a plan that...

...including my mother, have been teachers since I was born, and I was thrust very early into the world of teaching myself. This made me want to continue the legacy and help others the way my family always had. For that reason, I started tutoring as early as I could. I truly feel a part of something greater when I can help others to understand, even if only a small part of something they formerly...

...not always the answer. With each student, I focus first on organization: what we need to cover and a timeline to get to their goal. I'm a physician assistant student at Duke and hope to become a clinic director some day. In spare time outside of school , I write, play music, and kick it with friends. Most recently, I spent about a year in Peru and Ecuador working at a nonprofit clinic and freelancing...

...years. I enjoy being with students and helping them become more successful. As a former special education teacher, I am well-versed in the ins and outs of that world, and I can help any parent struggling to make any sense of it. (Trust me, I can talk for hours about that stuff!) The most important attributes that I have in regards to tutoring is enormous patience and a great deal of tenacity!... I believe in a student-centered approach. This is probably influenced by being a special education teacher for many years. I enjoy working one on one with students, figuring out what they need to be successful and working toward that goal. I believe in allowing students a certain level of choice, which can be important to many students. I've always been complimented on my patience and tenacity with students who are experiencing difficulties.

...majored in Global Studies and Dramatic Art. I have worked with local students in a number of artistic capacities, including voice lessons and theatre workshops. Aside from my interests in the performing arts, I excelled in math, literature, writing, and languages throughout my education. After four wonderful years at my dream school, I understand how many extraordinary opportunities can come from hard work and dedication. I believe that learning is not necessarily a one-size-fits-all experience,...

...My tutoring style is very focused and organized, however I believe that learning can be fun too so I try to keep my sessions as fun and engaging as possible. I am a very friendly, extroverted person, but I also get along well with more introverted people. I often try to imitate testing scenarios (i.e. enforcing time limits, giving time restraints for questions) for test prep tutoring, as well as provide testing tips that are...
