...statements, writing technique and mechanics, as well as reading/study skills. I truly believe that every student can become a good writer with individual attention and encouragement. In school I was (and still am) a bookworm and one who sincerely enjoys helping others to grow in knowledge. As a veteran test-taker, I can help with college entrance exam test prep (ACT, SAT, and the subject tests), using both conceptual understanding and test-specific strategies to raise scores....

...passion for a subject and developing a similar appreciation in the students that I work with. I believe that this passion is essential for effective learning to happen, namely learning should never be rote memorization that fades away after an exam but something that persists and ultimately grows. I always have fun tutoring: I try my best to make it enjoyable, be it outlining an essay, understanding the critical content of a passage or preparing...

...in a wide variety of subjects, and am especially confident in English, writing, Mandarin Chinese, and LSAT prep. I have found that a relationship of respect and equality with students is essential to a worthwhile tutoring experience. I pride myself on my ability to break down difficult concepts and create ways to understand them. My schedule is flexible and so is my teaching style--I will tailor my approach based on whether the focus is on...

...as test prep. I am planning on obtaining a Ph.D. in Accounting so that I will be able to perform research at a major university. I enjoy the way that understanding Accounting is similar to understanding how the pieces of a puzzle are put together. As a teacher, I am able to make Accounting more tangible. I also enjoy test prep. I have placed above the 90th percentile on the ACT and GMAT tests, and...

...and College coursework--not to mention the daunting task of college applications--can benefit immensely. I am committed to professionalism as a tutor, and I guarantee visible progress in my pupils; but I'm a regular person, too. In between Chemistry labs or Literature classes, you might find me reading a book on Heritage Hill, or walking my dog with my fiance. I am a recent graduate of the University of Arizona, wherein I achieved Summa Cum Laude...

...German, and Spanish. For each of these languages I'm happy to help students achieve those goals which are most important to them--whether it's preparing for a test, revising their writing, or simply practicing their conversational skills. I especially enjoy helping students with the early stages of non-L1 language acquisition (in either English, Spanish, or German). Something about this stage in the process of learning a language is especially stimulating and fun. The learning curve is...

As you think, so shall you become.... To ensure deep understanding of content in my students.... Get to know a student and understand them, so I can cater the material they struggle with to them.... Encourage the student to solve additional problems applying what they have learned.... Try and relate the topic to something they already understand.... Ask a different question that uses the same thought process or technique to solve, and have the student solve on their own.

...I was originally an aerospace engineer before I changed my major to mechanical engineering due to its increased versatility. I moved to Tucson to work as a systems engineering for Raytheon in June 2015. Engineering and tutoring are both equally part of my career to better the world. I interned at Aviation Communications and Surveillance Systems (ACSS): An L-3 Communications & Thales Company for a year in Phoenix, AZ before I moved to Tucson to...

...University of Arizona. I use individualzed teaching methods to create a fun, engaging, and personalized academic atmosphere. I have experience tutoring calculus, United States history, government and politics, and test prep. While I can't say for sure which subject I enjoy teaching the most, I enjoy any opportunity to work with students who are excited about their subjects. Outside of school and tutoring, I enjoy playing basketball, improving Wikipedia articles, and trying to stay cool...

...I "retired" from that career when my children were born and I began teaching these subjects after my children started school. My son and daughter are now both in college. I have taught high school middle school in the past. Many students came to me outside of the classroom for help in math and science. In my free time I enjoy making quilts, birdwatching, and genealogy. I love traveling everywhere (local or abroad).
