My diverse academic interests have allowed me to take a wide variety of classes and pick up many different study skills, which I hope to be able to share by tutoring. I am a strong believer that any student is capable of learning anything. With motivation, resources, and help where needed, no academic subject is ever entirely out of reach. My goal as a tutor is to not only help students...

...my love of math and logic though, and Creighton offered a mathematical logic minor that was perfect for my interests and learning style. This education, combined with my experience as a teacher in Creighton's "Philosophy for Children" program, has helped me to understand that teaching, one-on-one or in a classroom setting, is something that I'm passionate about. I believe that dialogue between mentor and pupil, much in the style of Plato's works, is the most...

...of my curriculum and needed a tutor. If not for the help of someone able to speak and relate to me on a level I could understand, I'm unsure that I would have succeeded in any of my introductory science classes. I want to help students who have difficulty learning in a traditional lecture setting by creating problems, critical-thinking strategies, and hands-on learning experiences that are relevant to the student and the material at hand....

...writing, and math skills. Furthermore, during summer of 2013, I served as a volunteer teacher at a school for children with learning disabilities in Chennai for two weeks.

Also, in high school, I was briefly a tutor for geometry, chemistry, and calculus AB. Currently, I just finished...

I believe that improvement comes with patience and persistence. By truly communicating with a student and understanding where he/she is struggling, we can insure improvement by teaching...

...and Geometry create opportunities to engage students by highlighting their practical value. I am fascinated by the different learning styles and how I can adapt my tutoring method to a student???s specific strengths and weaknesses. When I begin with a new student, I focus on flexibility as we become accustomed to one another. As time progresses and we enact a personalized lesson plan, my expectations increase accordingly as does each student's accountability. I strongly believe...

...can learn from teaching! So, the tutor-student relationship is always a "win-win," so to speak. I graduated from Princeton University with a B.A. in English literature, and I'm currently working on a master's in teaching (English) at Washington University. I believe that active, attentive listening, enthusiasm, and a sense of humor are all crucial to successful tutoring. I have extensive one-on-one tutoring experience, primarily in the areas of test prep (ACT, SAT) and English language/composition....

...am very good at that. I've been teaching math for over a year, and hope to continue teaching for many more years. My primary focus is on eighth grade through junior year math, though I can tutor any age or experience level. I am also great with physics.

...obstacles of both parties. I started tutoring without pay earlier in my college career at an organization called UrbanFuture that helps underprivileged students after school to increase their skills in mathematics, reading, and other academic subjects. Ultimately, the middle school program is geared toward preparing the students for the nationally standardized MAP tests. During my 2 years with UrbanFuture, I was able to develop different teaching methods and styles dependent on the student I was...

...both through the organic chemistry department as a weekly tutor, and through the athletic department. Specifically with my Division I cross-country team, I noticed that membership in our program did not require a community service component. I believe it is important to serve other people as an organization, so I helped to reinitiate a tutoring program between our team and a local nearby elementary school. In this program, athletes from our team go to the...

...true for many students, my own experience of learning math as I grew up was quite the opposite, and it is that opposite experience which inspired me to go into education. In middle and high school, I was fortunate enough to have educators who taught math not as a regimen of drills and memorization, but as a process of thinking logically. They taught not exclusively through by-the-book lectures, but through anecdotes and idiosyncratic metaphors which...

In addition to my experiences as a tutor and a mentor, I was a teaching fellow at an intensive teaching fellowship called Breakthrough...

...him or her, creating a memory or system that will actually stick. As such, I find that, as I work with a student, I try to see how the student sees the problem and find a way that will work for not just today, but for the future. No matter the subject, I work with students on strategies to understand and to execute problems quickly and efficiently, and I love the moment when something clicks....

...the right support and attitude, anyone can learn to do anything! My students validate this belief every day. I began tutoring when I was getting my degree in mechanical engineering at Rose-Hulman (Terre Haute, IN), the top-ranked undergraduate program in the country. I lived in a sophomore dorm and provided support to students of all majors. This experience propelled me into education, as I later founded my own tutoring business and taught engineering at an...
