...won't need a tutor for life. So, who am I? I grew up homeschooled and in a large family, so tutoring my siblings became part of the school day. I am a photographer because I enjoy finding the detail even in the subjects that cause us pain and seeing the beauty in the frustration that leads to success. I am a world traveler that enjoys learning about different cultures and seeing how different people think...

...from a different concept allowing the difficult to manage concept to "click". Focusing on one issue a student isn't grasping causes more harm than good when it causes the child to become so frustrated that they simply shut down and stop trying to learn at all. Assessing learning styles after repeated issues with problems is necessary. If a student needs to sing, they can sing their reading assignment to hear the errors. They can tap...

I am a Finance Major and Biochemistry Minor at Arizona State University. I have helped tutor my peers throughout my educational career. My approach is all about helping the student understand "Why" something works the way it does and not just "How". I have found that this helps students retain information better because it gives them a more complete understanding of the material.

...or getting taught, in some way or another, my life was being changed. As Sir Francis Bacon famously quoted, "with knowledge comes power" and learning this concept early on has been life-changing. Being able to teach/correct a student that is having trouble with a concept, idea, or a lesson gives 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...

...School Program, I know what it takes to motivate and encourage students of any age. I am a very patient and kind teacher, but I also enjoy a few quips to keep things light throughout the learning process. I think a sense of humor is sometimes necessary in order to get through complicated lessons! I connect well with kids, teens, and adults, and would love to be of help no matter your goals.... My teaching philosophy...

...emphasis. I have done personal tutoring during my high school career, primarily in math and science. Also, through a volunteer project I did some tutoring in other subjects such as English and History. Anywhere in the sciences is what I really enjoy tutoring and have the best grasp of the content, biology specifically because I have taken a plethora of biology/pre-med classes and have found my passion in that field. I think the major focus...

I became a teacher in the UK covering physics, chemistry, biology, ecology, and mathematics. When I...

...I plan to attend graduate school to study immunology in a few years, but for now I'm focused on getting more research (and life) experience. I came onto the teaching scene in a bit of an unconventional way. Throughout high school, I was involved in an organization called The Faraday Society (named in honor of scientist Michael Faraday). We performed awesome chemistry demonstrations for a variety of audiences, from elementary school kids to the general...

An effective tutor engages all students into each lesson so they feel like they are part of the classroom community helping them become more active in the learning process. An outstanding tutor is also very knowledgeable about the content being presented. It is important that tutors teach a lesson dynamically in order to cater to all students' diverse learning styles.

...of 2024. Through my high school's Spanish program, I tutored students just two years below my level of Spanish. And through our debate program, for my sophomore, junior, and senior years, I mentored students new to the activity. I have always seen helping other students as an opportunity of growth, not only for that student, but for myself as well. I feel that I am qualified to tutor all middle and most high school levels...
