...also tutor in writing and reading, since I have experience as a professional copy editor. My focus when tutoring is student understanding. I believe academic goals are more readily achievable when concepts are understood, rather than formulas memorized.

Outside of school I enjoy hiking, gardening, reading, and cooking. I like...

...a national merit scholar, I am also qualified to help students prepare for the ACT and SAT/other standardized assessments. My teaching philosophy is one that centers the student and frames learning as a collaborative process; I hope to build holistic growth in my learners through a personal relationship, dialogic processes, and lesson plans that prepare the tutee for success by meeting them where they are and tailoring sessions to their individual needs and learning styles.

...While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I'm most passionate about Science, English, Math, and Film. In my experience helping students raise their grades to passing marks, I have had the most success starting with a part of the subject the student enjoys or understands best and relate it to what they are having issues grasping until they feel confident enough to tackle the whole problem completely. I am extremely passionate about learning and...

...is just a cool feeling. I have taught Spanish classes and I enjoy studying with my classmates. Anytime I know something that would benefit someone else, I love to share.

...why mathematics is useful in the real world. My time in college exposed me to the beauty of mathematics, showing how it can be applied to all aspects of life from predicting ocean currents, to sending rockets into space. In my tutoring I will impart this appreciation to the students, and draw from 17 years of mathematical experience to present the material in a clear and concise manner. There is no doubt that learning presents...

...about helping other people understand math and science, the moment a student's face lights up with understanding is what I live for! I strive for more than good test grades, my goal is to help whoever I can in understanding how and why things are the way they are.

I especially enjoy essay editing, as well as English and Reading. Watching students create pieces of writing they are immensely proud of or finding joy in reading is incredibly rewarding to participate in. I am so excited to foster a space...

...my life I would have described learning in a multiplicity of different ways: stretching, fun, exciting, eye-opening, or even on some occasions just down right frustrating. All in all though I would describe learning as a process. Learning is something we do everyday, all the time, and its something that takes effort, but it is also so worth it! I'm here to help you get through those tough stretching or even frustrating moments, so that...

...however, is my favorite subject to tutor. There is nothing more rewarding than helping someone finally realize the difference between sine and cosine or finish a homework problem that has trapped them for hours. I tutor in a style of patience and confidence building. I firmly believe that with enough practice and self-confidence, anyone can become a "math person". Outside of academics, I love sports. I enjoy pickup games of basketball, football, and volleyball with...

...The languages I am most confident in are C, C++, and Python (4 years + experience). I'm also perfecting my skills in JavaScript for web development so I can make cool dynamic HTML pages. I'm a visual learner so when I instruct I like to draw the objects being discussed. Using drawings to represent object oriented programming makes explaining concepts easier because the student can rely on these visuals to think about how a problem...

Hello, my name is Hailey. I am currently a junior at GCU studying Elementary Education. My goal is to become an elementary teacher and make a difference in others' lives.

...and an Associate's in General Studies. After Graduating, I took a gap year, where I would search for ways to keep the math knowledge I had attained.

During this time, an entire school year passed and during it, I was given the chance to help my younger siblings with their math homework. Through that...

...that need to be covered. Many times, a student will have trouble with advanced concepts because he or she has not fully mastered a previous, simpler concept. Science, like math, builds upon itself, so a concept missed early in the year can cause problems throughout the rest of the year if it is not addressed. I can explain problems from various angles to incorporate the learning style of student. I also have many memory aids...
