...advice, "Don't make that mistake!". The teacher tries to hear what the student wants and then figures what to work on in order to get there. I've been both a student and teacher of guitar, and I try to take that teaching style into my tutoring. I never start by explaining material or by "simplifying" it (because that usually means repeating it again and again!) but by listening to the student and finding out exactly...

...year of graduating from MSU started my first company (I am now on my second). I have always valued education but at times saw that teaching methods did not adapt appropriately to the student. There is more than one way to learn material. Because of that I hope to spend some time with students, helping them get the test scores that will allow them to get into their dream school. Throughout my high school and...

...program, and have already had 3 summers of industry experience in Java, C/C++, and Python. In addition, I am currently a Research Assistant working on Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning! In teaching, I focus on working with students to solve problems together. It's important to understand each student's background knowledge, analyze underlying assumptions, and figure out how to approach the subject at hand. Understanding a previously intimidating topic can be incredibly empowering!

...experience tutoring students in late elementary through high school in one-on-one settings.

While in this program, I volunteered in several reverse-inclusion courses for adults with intellectual and...

...author's preconceived notions about the student's background. Therefore, when I tutor I build the framework from the ground up and depend a lot on visual aids (diagrams and charts) rather than formulas and numbers. I believe that there is no such thing as a dumb question and I address each question as many times as necessary . I also include a lot of examples and encourage the students to come up with their own example...

In my free time, I find myself exploring Austin, swimming at the green belt, learning to play guitar, and hanging with my friends. I always enjoy meeting new people and...

...GRE exam and scored a 337/340, with a perfect 170 score on the quantitative section. While my number one priority for students I work with on standardized test prep is a thorough understanding of the material covered in the scope of the test, I also understand that scoring well on standardized tests often requires more than a firm grasp of the subject matter under examination. It requires a commanding understanding of test taking strategies, individual...

...Anderson Cancer Center since that time. I have always been interested in helping students master science and math. I tutored chemistry as an undergraduate and more recently have worked with high school students in a variety of math and science subjects.

My academic interests range from medieval Scholasticism to contemporary issues in bioethics and law. I believe that tutoring is not only about the transfer of knowledge between the tutor and the student, but also a transfer of skills, which would help the student learn how to find the answer himself or herself and to solve whatever academic problems come...

...Math, French, and Arabic at our university tutoring center. I fell in love with teaching others and decided to spend a year teaching English in China after graduation.

Since I've returned, I have been teaching and tutoring in the Austin area. While I have tutored a wide...
