...students; ensuring that they not simply memorize concepts or regurgitate facts but truly understand the material. I ask them to defend their answers which teaches them that the correct response is often less important than the reasoning used to reach said response. I honestly believe that anyone can learn anything given enough time and patience. I try my best to not only be a teacher but also a role model to my students and to...

...assistance. As a group, we helped tutor the students several times a week. Working with InspireSTL I was asked to tutor a very wide range of subjects - everything from geometry to history to biology, to being asked to set up an impromptu grammar and sentence diagramming class! While I love the subjects of History and English, and have tutored and taught most subjects, I have realized that Standardized Test preparation is one of the...

...outside the box. In tutoring, my motto is "teach a student to fish and they possess improved test-taking skills for a lifetime." Specializing in ACT/SAT test preparation as well as Mathematics, I carry with me, aside from a substantial knowledge of all subjects, a "bag of tricks" made up of pneumonic devices, preparation skills, and exercises in focus/concentration. With any session, my goal is to deconstruct seemingly difficult concepts into more digestible steps -- in...

My name is Zoe Fullerton and I am current student at Harvard Medical School. I attended Vassar College as an undergraduate where I studied Science, Technology and Society. I am a patient teacher and eager to work with students of all ages. ... I try to cater each lesson to address that student's learning style.

For example, I might steer a writing student studying organic chemistry to explain a reaction as a narrative of molecular interactions, rather than beginning with a complex problem. In the context of shifting careers, I have also taken a number of standardized tests, including the SAT, ACT, GRE, and MCAT. My approach with these tests emphasizes strategy over content; a particular vocabulary word may or may not...

These opportunities have unambiguously changed my life, and I'm always happy to help more young minds reach their goals. Examples of my teaching experience include two semesters of tutoring at the high-school level and three semesters as a paid teaching assistant for my university. I teach a...

...of the most important skills students can learn, and I firmly believe every student can excel in these areas. My personal teaching philosophy is that learning should be fun. I will work hard to connect students' tutoring needs with their personal interests, whether it's making phonics practice into a fun game, or showing how literary concepts exist in popular culture as much as they do in the classics. For fun, I enjoy running, music (I...

...world before returning to the University of Massachusetts in Amherst for my master's and doctoral degrees. After defending my dissertation, I went to work for the highly-rated University of Washington in Seattle, which is tied with Yale for position #10 in the ranking of 1,250 global universities in 2018.

...and English Writing Centers at Iowa. In particular, I love tutoring writing in its many forms, from long essays to cover letters, as well as all subjects in the Humanities. I also enjoy tutoring standardized tests like the SAT and GRE because I can teach my students tips and tricks that can give them some peace of mind in high-pressure situations. My primary teaching philosophy is to look at each student as an individual. Rather...

...track of their progress. I view tutoring as more of an exchange than traditional teaching; I believe my students and I can work together to solve any problem. When assisting with a writing assignment, for example, it will only be a temporary solution for me to simply pull out a red pen and begin editing. Instead, I prefer to have a conversation with the student to explain the "why" and "how" behind the necessary revisions...
