...formation classes of different ages, tutoring high school students (primarily in Math, but also other subjects such as English), and being a tutor for a scientific writing class, in which I led workshops and gave students feedback on their papers. When working with students, I think that patience, dedication, and understanding are essential. I know how stressful and frustrating it can be as a student to struggle with a concept, and having someone who was...

...Later on, I taught at a private school for four years. During those years of teaching, I also did a fair amount of tutoring. I have tutored students from middle school all the way up to professional adults. As a teacher, I love to make the subject fun to learn and relevant to my students. For that reason, I like to incorporate material outside of the textbook. I especially prefer to use realia such as newspapers,...

I love sharing my knowledge with people in a fun and engaging way. I love explaining topics through a variety of interactive and interesting methods. My favorite thing about tutoring is helping people understand why what they are learning is important. Once you know why you learn something you...

...student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York. I am a very enthusiastic and energetic student looking to help young kids do well in school and improve their learning and studying skills. I reached my goal of going to a top engineering school because of all the help I received while growing up, and I now want to return the favor and help students reach their academic goals and feel proud of their achievements.... Every student is different, so I like to find the proper learning/teaching style and incorporate it to convey topics as well as possible. Reciprocal communication is also key; students should feel comfortable to stop me and ask me questions!

...to learning. As you may or may not know, socialization is a big barrier to many students on the spectrum. Finally, I have been substitute teaching in the Albany, NY area, which renewed my interest in being an instructor/facilitator/guide to struggling students. During this time, I had also tutored an international graduate college student (from Saudi Arabia) in Educational Psychology in preparation for her Early Childhood degree. I felt like this experience opened my eyes...

...the experiences I had gained while traveling the Spanish-speaking world (Mexico and Spain). I chose to tutor math as well, after offering one-on-one and small group academic support in special education; seeing my students understand concepts that were previously challenging, gave me a sense of satisfaction that was hard to equal. While I tutor Spanish and math, I prefer Spanish, due the travel opportunities learning Spanish affords. With respect to my tutoring style, I like...
