...Over the past several years, I have worked with students from diverse backgrounds and experiences tutoring thermodynamics (my personal favorite), chemistry, and math. I have also tutored in the past for ACT/SAT and other subjects such as history, but I am deeply passionate about science and engineering. I tend to push my students to understand conceptual topics, as opposed to rote or algorithmic learning. In my free time, I love to bake sourdough, learn about...

I am a mother of 3 (16, 14 and 5), a lead teacher for an after school program locally, an Online Professor for a local college and a substitute teacher and tutor for grades K-12. I believe that every child learns differently and to work not on their weaknesses but to strengthen it with their positives. I specialize in math, phonics, english, reading, social studies and several college courses (mathematics, communications, marketing, business and finance.)

I have been working in the educational arena since 1998. I have been a tutor, librarian, and a teacher. I have a broad skillset and I am eager to help students with their work.

I am a Marine Veteran. I now work with troubled youth ages 12-18. My goal in life is to help children become successful in their lives

...helping students understand the reasons and context for why history has unfolded the way it has is deeply rewarding. I grew up in an educational tradition that focused on the student and saw the teacher as a facilitator who helps students cultivate knowledge. The teacher (or tutor) is a guide, but much of that role is tied to helping students find confidence so they can continue their education independently throughout their lives. Outside of academia,...

...2 years of tutoring experience and a solid foundation from my classroom teaching, I strive to connect with each student by tailoring my approach to their unique learning styles. My goal is to build their confidence and help them grasp complex concepts through engaging, practical problem-solving techniques.

...students, primarily in math and science. My favorite subjects are physics and chemistry because they are not based on memorization, but rather on the application. My learning philosophy is focused on practice problems. First, one should understand in-depth how and why the problem can be solved. Afterwards, doing more practice problems helps to solidify one's understanding and makes each subsequent problem easier. Outside of school, I teach singing lessons, mentor a mathcounts club and I...

...expressions but also I am a writer/reader/artist so also very familiar with less technical informal English. Life has allowed me to visit many countries and to meet even more fascinating and wonderful people. English is a bridge that allows us to communicate and connect in unique ways. I have taught English for over 5 years and enjoy the challenge and satisfaction of a student reaching their fluency goals and showing them the priceless value of...

...before. When I started college at Dillard University I discovered that I also have a deep love for teaching. I discovered the ultimate way to assess if you really know something is whether or not you can teach it to someone who may not be familiar with the subject matter. This a great challenge, but I enjoy it. I love to see the look on a person's face when they "get it." I have also...

...and I have worked with students at every learning level, from intervention to honors courses. While I as most passionate about writing and grammar, I also love to help students in the area of math because, as a middle school student myself, I often felt that math was just “confusing” and “too hard.” I never imagined that I would be a math teacher myself, but my own experience has helped me identify with my struggling...

...tutor to help me with my classes. I was never good at math growing up and I realized how important a strong foundation in math really is for the long run. I would have never imagined pursuing aerospace engineering and I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for my freshman year math tutor. I want to provide the same help and guidance and help you build that foundation even earlier than I...

...feel like it is applicable to so many parts of life. It is also so fulfilling to see a student improve on the ACT/SAT, making measurable changes and gaining confidence.

I very much strive to tailor my tutoring to each student???s needs, as every student is unique in their needs and...

Mathematics is a subject that I have always enjoyed throughout my school years. The challenge of thinking and the process of logic always attract me to Mathematical problems, however difficult and regardless of the form in which they come.

...teaching English to those with a foreign tongue. To bring about the ability of pronouncing correctly or truly getting down the grammar and vocabulary. Other subjects are math and science, but I'm interested in teaching basics of other languages that I have learned as well. I enjoy teaching in a classroom setting but I prefer one on one as it is much more fulfilling that I can focus on that individuals needs. I look forward...

...and provide advice and explanations rather than presenting the solutions and process immediately. This gives students the chance to learn the material both correctly and efficiently as they are actually working through the material. I also do my best to make my explanations of concepts accessible and explain them in simple ways that allow students to understand the concept in order to be able to extrapolate those ideas to other material. For my hobbies I...

I basically love sharing my knowledge about anything i love. I believe in incorporating real world examples to help students understand the application of math and science in the real world.

As a student, I understand how difficult school can be. Breaking down difficult concepts to more basic, understandable ideas can make all the difference. Learning should be tailored to one's needs, and classrooms cannot always teach that way. I look forward to helping students work to their full potential, and make the learning process easy. In terms of experience, I have been tutoring for 6 years now, with ages ranging from kindergarten through second-year college students.
