I'm a software engineer who loves coming up with intuitive ways to think about things, and I'm here to help!

...explaining concepts I aim to help students understand how they learn best, develop effective study habits, and become independent thinkers. I believe in creating a supportive environment where questions are encouraged and mistakes are opportunities for growth. In my previous roles as a Supplemental Instruction Leader, peer tutor, and mentor, I have guided students with varying levels of confidence and skill, from those building foundational understanding to those striving for top grades. Seeing students have "aha!"...

I am a local science teacher and specialize in biology, chemistry, and physical science. I have tutoring expereince from my teaching, as well as from my time spent working for the Boys and Girls Club of Lawrence and tutoring peers in my academic fraternity. My favorite subjects are chemistry and biology, and I am growing an interest in computer programming and statistics. When I'm not working, I enjoy cooking, hiking, reading, and watching sports.

...very interested in and have had success passing on my excitement to students. I also enjoy preparing students for test prep (ACT) and elementary and middle school-age students. My approach to teaching is to understand the student as an individual. I like to understand the student's strengths and weaknesses and work from there to expand their knowledge in a given subject. My goal is to push each of my students to venture beyond their limits...

...on many wonderful realizations in their daily lives because they don't understand how chemistry helped create computers, or the historical context that has created the current political climate. Tutoring sessions with me are structured much differently than a traditional class. I don't lecture; Learning with me is a conversation in which we will talk through a concept together, and then the student proves their understanding by teaching it back. I try to break sessions up...

...continuously updating my information through my own education. I also tutor ACT help! Through my own journey, I was able to improve my score by 7 points! I understood how stressful it was to choose resources, or how to complete practice questions, and would love to help people find a method of practice that works! I am able to help those who are looking to improve their score to create a plan that makes sense...

...learn. There are no one-size fits all models for learning and that is certainly the case instructing. I hope you feel comfortable telling me what helps you learn best as well as how I can best facilitate that. I majored in Biochemistry and Spanish at the University of Kansas and am currently working on an MD degree as a 3rd year medical student. Medicine is absolutely defined by the passage of information, technique, knowledge and support...

Hi! I'm 25 years old chemist; I earned my M.Sc. from University of Michigan in Organic Chemistry and have been tutoring students for the last 3 years. I would love to help you with all your general chemistry and organic chemistry needs!

...and writing because as someone who personally went through the process of learning English from scratch, I deeply understand the challenges involved in honing one's language skills. I hope to use the lessons I have learned from my experience to help others who are working on improving their reading and writing skills, no matter how far they are along the process. I am patient, persistent, supportive, receptive to feedback, and I always strive to adapt...

...and then working with the student in the specific areas of the discipline that they are struggling with. From previous tutoring experience, I have learned that each student has varying learning styles. Accordingly, I strive to adapt my teaching style for each of my students so that their academic potential is maximized. I have mainly tutored high-school students and college students. In high school, as a junior and senior, I tutored many different math courses...

...math just came naturally. Minoring in mathematics made sense because of the critical role the subject plays in chemistry. I can tutor students with topics such as: chemistry, physical science, quantitative analysis, laboratory techniques, arithmetic, pre-algebra, SAT math preparation, algebra 1 and 2, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, and both differential and integral calculus. As a current college student, I am constantly being graded on my performance. As a tutor, I must be held to a higher...

I have been tutoring in various subjects for nearly 15 years now. I can tutor various subjects with my strengths being in Reading, Languages, Literature, History and Science. I am best with math through 12th grade. I have experience helping students pass their GED and I can help with all of the sections including math, science, and reading. I am fairly proficient in Spanish, though I read and comprehend it better than I speak it.

My name is Grace Apodaca and I am a student at Smith College in Northampton, MA. I am an engineering major who is passionate about research. I currently do biomedical research towards cancer diagnostics and drug therapy. I am also a student-athlete as I am a member of Smith's Swim and Dive team. I love learning and am excited to share that with students of all ages!

...providing them with very good understanding of basic concepts and show them how taking the time to develop a foundation of knowledge will make future learning easier and help them learn on their own. My approach to ACT tutoring differs from how I teach just biology or chemistry. The ACT covers such a range of topics that complete understandings of everything is sometimes impractical. I believe repetition helps immensely with the ACT. Taking multiple practice...

I am a pre-med student at the University of Kansas. I am studying molecular, cellular and developmental biology. ... Practice, practice, and practice some more!... Find out their strengths and weaknesses within the subject and with their overall study methods.... Talk through the steps of solving an unknown problem, including where to look for the answer, so they can begin to learn how to do it on their own.... Remind them why we are studying and...

...until it becomes concrete again. I've always enjoyed Chemistry and enjoy sifting confusion with it. I was a teaching assistant at the University of Iowa and a tutor for chemistry. While there I also receive the "excelling@iowa" award for being "the most helpful person in a student's successful transition from high school to college". I really don't want people to walk away from Chemistry with a bad experience. I prefer to work with college students...

...have experienced success and failure in the classroom throughout my academic career. I quit college for several years, unsure if I was ever going back, until I met someone (outside of college) who became a mentor and friend to me. He helped me realize my professional and educational goals. He even challenged me daily to make sure that I was retaining the information that we would talk about. I began succeeding in school and life....

To this end, I work for the kids, stressing their need for solid instruction in a rapidly changing educational economy, and want nothing less than a foundational approach to their learning that suits them and their goals. My teaching specialties are SAT...

...academic subjects. My consistent math and science workload in college has made me confident of my mastery and ability to tutor these subjects. Outside of academics, I am passionate about global health and helping underserved communities. I spent a summer working in Kisumu, Kenya on a malnutrition project and I plan to work in Nicaragua on a project focused on bringing clean water to underserved communities in the future. In my free time, I love...
