...of Loyola University Chicago and majored in Cognitive/Behavioral Neuroscience and Psychology with a minor in Spanish Language. While in high school, I tutored many students through my high school's tutoring program. I mainly tutor in Math and Spanish (specifically Algebra 1, Pre-Algebra, Algebra 2 and Spanish 1-4). I would describe my teaching style as very different depending on the student I am tutoring because I aim to find the best method of teaching that is...

I enjoy helping students reach their highest potential. My philosophy is that all people can learn and finding their intelligence is my goal in tutoring.

...teaching because I believe that all students can learn and grow. Of course, everyone has different learning styles, strengths, and challenges. My job is to teach the material in a way that best aligns with individual students' needs. I especially love teaching math because many students seem to dislike math and assume they are not "good" at math. It's fun to see them recognize that they can develop skills to comprehend much more than they...

...meantime, I am looking to share my passion for gaining knowledge, specifically in STEM, by educating the up and coming members of such a great field. I have experience tutoring both Calculus and Physics at Notre Dame, as well as experience as a Student Assistant for Differential Equations and Mechanics. I believe the key to learning is much deeper than learning to solve problems and that seeking knowledge is one of the best means for...

...problems and build to progressively more complicated ones. By my sophomore year, I was able to take (and do well in!) calculus, a subject I never thought I would be able to tackle. I think the keys to my success in overcoming anxiety was my teacher's ability to not only pinpoint concepts I was struggling with, but also her willingness to calmly guide me through tasks and bring out confidence. Drawing from my experiences, I...

...tutoring. When I taught, I had 120 students who learning and reading levels spanned seven grade levels (4th through 10th). A significant amount of my students were English Language Learners and almost all my students had different learning modalities or styles. This taught me how to identify and adapt. My tutoring style is much similar. Identifying your student's reading and leaning level as well as his or her learning modality or style is always the...

...how to help students get past what can initially appear to be daunting conceptual barriers. Last, but not least, I know what it's like to struggle. I am not a math and science genius who breezed through college to get his astrophysics degree. I had to work very hard for my grades, especially during my freshman year. I can empathize with students who strain to get through their courses and am better equipped to help...

...part of that program, I have designed science and math lesson plans and put them into practice, teaching my lessons in local elementary and middle schools. I tutor a variety of subjects, including physics, engineering classes, and many instances of mathematics, although I am most passionate about tutoring physics, as I enjoy being able to apply what we learn and see the real-world implications in our daily life. I believe that learning isn't just the...

...trouble with a concept, idea, or a lesson gives a sense of satisfaction to not only the tutor but the person being tutored. Whenever learning a difficult concept, the first thing I usually do is look it up on Google. Sometimes the answers aren't there, and sometimes they are there, but too difficult to understand. In this case, the first thing I do is send the problem to a friend and ask if they can...

We all learn differently. As Albert Einstein said, "Study is not the learning of facts but the training of the mind to think." Thomas Edison said only five percent of people think; another 10 percent think they think; and 85 percent would rather die than think. Let me help you be one of the five.... We all learn differently and at our own pace. Also, we often know more than we think we do. We just...

...I believe anyone can learn. A student has to be open to learn though and a great teacher can help to open a mind to that. Learning can be fun and especially when you work one-on-one with someone. The lessons can be focused to exactly what one needs and that really helps things to move along more quickly. After being in education for over 20 years, I am excited to work with new people and...
