I've been tutoring formally and informally throughout the past seven years; during that time, I've developed my belief in a "person-first" approach to tutoring. To succeed, you need more than just some academic knowledge -- you need the right mindset and a confidence in your own abilities as well. I try to instill that into my students.

...classmates ask me for help on how to do a specific topic because I was good at explaining. My goal is to help each student not only understand the material they're learning but also to enjoy that subject. When a student enjoys a subject they are trying to learn, it helps them understand the material much easier. I want to help each student have a love for learning so they will be more encouraged to...

...religion, and history. Skidmore was also where I began to gain formal experience working with young students, specifically by working as a Classroom Assistant. After graduating from Skidmore with honors, I began to work on my MA at The New School for Social Research, where I am focusing on Ancient, Modern, and Contemporary political, legal, and moral philosophy. While at graduate school I have begun to tutor a number of students, many of whom I...

When I was in the ninth grade, one algebra tutor changed my whole perspective on mathematics and showed me that it wasn't as scary as I initially thought. Since then, I realized the power a teacher holds in shaping young minds, and I aim to do the same with my students. Additionally, I have approximately eight years of tutoring experience as well as two years of experience as a co-teacher in an elementary school.

...understanding a concept. I have a master's degree in air traffic control from Europe, a web design programmer diploma and a mobile application certification. So my background is pretty much math, some physics and programming. Being from French Guiana, my native tongue is French and I know how hard this language can be for learners. Genders for everything? Yes, but you should not be afraid and soon it'll become a habit. I do hope you'll...

I am currently a student at Villanova University. I am a die-hard basketball fan and a huge wildcat fan. At the same time, I strive to excel in academics.

I hope to make math and science more enjoyable and much easier for my students.

...as well as my passion for seeing people learn new things makes me a great tutor. I take a lot of pride in guiding students to their own self-discovery that they can solve math problems or get the scores they want on standardized tests. If students go back to the fundamentals, build a strong base of knowledge, and little by little progress toward mastery of whatever subject they pursue, they can achieve whatever goal they...

I love traveling, dancing, and reading. But, what I am most passionate about, is learning.... Each one; teach one.... Introductions. Then, find out what the student knows and what the student needs help with.... By asking the student to explain how they get to their answers. That way, they get a chance to test if they really understand a concept.... By keeping the student engaged.... I would take the time to figure out what exactly is...

...very motivated to train young thinkers to learn more about the academic world by introducing them to Mathematics. Equivalently important is to communicate life skills, including treating others with reverence, working in groups, and learning how to become a leader. I was first inspired to pursue tutoring while in high school. My history teacher approached me with an opportunity to both tutor and mentor a young male student. From this experience, I realized the power...

I tutor a variety a subjects but mainly focus on all levels of math up to calculus as well as all sections of the SAT I. A reason I like tutoring math is that for the most part, once you learn any material (and I mean really learn it), you are...

As a psychology major, I focus on the development of the mind and its connection to the emotions that we use to learn.

If you need help in chemistry, biology, math, or other subjects, I'm here to help you. I believe that learning is based solely on YOU! There's no "formula" that you can follow, rather you need to see what works best. For example, I'm a visual learner, so I spend more time creating diagrams that I can...

...realize that it made me understand those topics better, but more importantly, it made me feel good knowing that I was able to teach something to someone successfully. This passion evolved as I became a paid tutor for the SAT test in my senior year of high school, a teaching assistant for Calc IV in my third semester of college, and a residential tutor for Organic Chemistry in my fourth semester of college. Currently, my...
