I am a young professional with a passion for helping others learn. I love tutoring and have done lots of it - from elementary school children to graduate students. I like for the learning to be as collaborative as possible and have seen lots of success with students in the past. I hope to get to know you soon!

I enjoy teaching real-world problem solving techniques that I learned while studying Mathematical Physics in college. I'm here to help students develop a deeper, more complete understanding through connections with every-day-life, because that's what I struggled with in school and I'd hate for others to struggle the same way. ... Who cares about learning something if it won't help you in real life? I teach using real-world examples and down-to-earth scenarios. My approach to problem solving is less lecture-based and more hands-on, generating a more complete understanding of the material than just memorization.

As a recent chemical engineering graduate I understand the difficulties in some fields of study. I look forward to joining you on your quest for additional knowledge.

...primary interests lie in the sciences, where learning what makes our world turn drives my passion for knowledge. I believe that successful tutoring involves assessing how a student learns and adapting my teaching style to best fit the needs of the student. In this manner a student can learn in a way that seems to come naturally and allows knowledge to flow more seamlessly. Fostering a passion for learning and encouraging growth as a successful...

I'm very passionate about medicine and education, and believe that the best way to learn is by teaching others. I also have three years of experience as a Teaching Assistant in General...

...thesis funded by the the American Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology (AAAAI). After graduation I worked in the medical and chemical industries. I simultaneously worked part time as an immunization specialist in a doctor's office, and full time as lead chemist in a food nutritional laboratory. I plan to return to academia next year to get my PhD in cellular biology. For me, education is a cornerstone to a successful life, and I want...

...connecting and hanging out with students, which is why being a Gen Chem lab TA was my favorite TA position I held since I got to know those students very well. Eventually, I decided that the bench-top wasn't where I wanted to be forever so I wrote my Master's thesis and left Penn. As a TA/tutor, I am pretty laid-back. Most of my students were 3-5 years younger than me, so I liked to treat...

...a deeper understanding of both subjects. In addition to academic tutoring I have also instructed skiing, surfing, hang gliding, snorkeling, sailing, and rafting. I am excited to have relocated to Colorado where I can enjoy many of these hobbies in my free time. I believe that the same fundamental concepts apply to any form of teaching. The key is being able to communicate the question or lesson in a way that the student can understand.

...a certified science teacher, currently teaching high school Biology and Anatomy. I think that science is awesome want to share that enthusiasm with those that I teach. I believe in helping students not only understand the answer, but understand the process that allowed them to answer the question. I help students strengthen critical thinking and problem solving skills. This way, students will be able to take charge of their own learning and develop skills that...

...assigning challenging homework to enhance the students learning. I am also willing to provide a periodic assessments and progress reports. I can adapt the lessons to each individual student's needs and learning style and highly encourage students to be interactive in their learning as well and coming in with questions. Remember, there is no such thing as "stupid questions!" There are, though, such a thing as "stupid answers," therefore the pressure is on me.... My teaching style is to guide you through the problems step-by-step. Each session will help the student understand the concepts and how to approach problems without feeling overwhelmed. There are two ways we can approach this; we can start by looking at the syllabus for the student.

...excitement for the subject while deepening conceptual understandings. The greatest metric of success in a tutoring session is being told that I was able to break down explanations from the student's class and reformulate them into a version that is compatible with their way of thinking. I aim to use my empathy and sensitivity to students' unique struggles and learning styles to teach concepts and problem-solving strategies in an individualized manner. While I specialize in...

...loving the sport that I grew up loving. Every morning when I would create lesson plans, I kept in mind how to get the best out of each junior sailor. I made sure we had “chalk talks” first to explain the concept. Then I would reinforce this concept by demonstration. Following this, I would have each sailor practice on the land; it is a term called “dry sailing”. Next, we would venture out on the...

...that everyone should have the opportunity to be successful in their educational career and want to do my part in providing support for that success.
