Award-Winning AIMS Tutors in Tucson, AZ

...I can remember, I have had a love for teaching. In elementary school I would come home in the afternoon and 'play school' with my stuffed animals, creating and grading worksheets for them. Throughout school, I continued to take every opportunity to assist friends and classmates. Now, in graduate school, I have had the opportunity for training in teaching strategies and philosophy, as well as hands-on work assistant teaching undergraduate psychology courses. I find that...

...subjects such as English, SAT prep, and GRE prep. I've also had the opportunity to tutor students with special needs, which was, while challenging, a wonderfully rewarding time in my life. I believe that tutoring involves not only learning particular facts or principles, but it also involves imparting a learning method to the tutee, enabling the student to make the most progress possible. Effective studying involves efficiency, effort, focus, and most of all, having a...

I am Marisol. I enjoy teaching students in a fun interactive manner. In the first lesson I like to evaluate my students needs and teach in a way that they will understand. Depending on the student I like to leave work or activities for them to do outside of the tutoring session to help them practice outside of class.

Each person accumulates a different set of skills and specialities during their life. Rather than being afraid to look stupid, it is important to be eager to learn from others. I love spreading my knowledge in a casual environment, and using that to help others achieve their fullest potential!

...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 believe that this passion is essential for effective learning to happen, namely learning should never be rote...

...worked part-time as a Water Safety Instructor for the City of Tucson and taught people how to swim. Helping someone learn something new is great!

Everyone is a unique learner and it is my job to help find the best way for students to...

...Chemical/Environmental Engineering. 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).

...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...

...the student. I do this using my sense of humor, mnemonic devices, and being relatable which makes learning interesting and relevant. Students have told me I am kind, approachable, and encourage a sense of openness in the classroom. I have seen firsthand, over and over, how beneficial one-on-one tutoring is to a student, and am excited to share that experience with you. In my free time, you can find me at the dog park with...

...in a wide variety of subjects, and am especially confident in English, writing, Mandarin Chinese, and LSAT prep.

...English and Russian (with a minor in Pre-Med), but I have been active in accumulating useful experience in editing and writing scientific and nonfiction content.
