...standardized tests and leave the battle in victory, not resignation. I've been speaking French since I was old enough to read and I have a Russian heritage that can help out with colloquialisms and grammar. Languages and linguistics are fascinating to me and I don't get to speak mine enough, so please speak them with me! My physics background, as well as my years of teaching, means I know a disturbing amount of math (through...

...and help students build the right tools to eventually master the subject. I am currently a postdoctoral research fellow at UNC Chapel Hill in the School of Pharmacy. I am developing non viral gene therapy systems for treatment of solid tumors. Before this, I earned my PhD in Biomedical Engineering at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. There in addition to research I gained an appreciation of nature. I lived near a waterfall and I have...

I love when the information clicks with a student and they finally understand a concept.

...a Freshman Physics class as a teaching assistant and provided online tutoring via the Star Tribune homework help web site. In general, I enjoy tutoring Mathematics and Physics. I also enjoy hiking and orienteering, which is an application of Mathematics to transcribe back and forth between an abstract map and the physical landscape. As your tutor can guide you towards the satisfaction of discovering new concepts for yourself, which you will then retain for the...

...I also feel that I am a very good mentor. I have been through and understand the application system for college, medical, and graduates schools (including international schools.) I have mentored and continue to mentor several students, especially pre-med students. So far, 100% of my students have gained admission to medical school. I have several years of experience mentoring and tutoring and I am confident that success will not elude us. You will not regret...

Let's be patient, persistent, pause, and perform better and better. I've been happy to help dozens of students with math and physics, and am immediately prepared to help you with arithmetic, algebra, basic geometry, trigonometry, introductory calculus and introductory university physics. I'll be reviewing and adding subjects that I can immediately aid. Good luck.

I am a PhD student in Civil Engineering and have more than 7 years of teaching experience.... My philosophy of teaching evolved from many years of teaching experience. As I reflect on my beliefs regarding teaching and learning, I find that my mission as a teacher is threefold: to promote positive learning; to spark learner enthusiasm for learning; and to provide a strong foundation for lifelong learning.... I will try to find out his/her understanding of...

...allow me to assess the student's strengths and weaknesses. As a former math major, I know how frustrating math problems can be. But with patience and perseverance, we can achieve all your goals! Outside of academia, I like to travel the world. I have visited over 10 different countries and I can speak 4 languages (I am only fluent in 2). I love playing the piano and have been playing the piano for over 16...

I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a Bachelor of Science in Physics. I work with students in a variety of subjects, including Math, Physics, and Chemistry. I have experience working with students on the Autism spectrum and with ADHD.

...by helping you love mastering the task at hand. No doubt, you will see your best results once you have learned to enjoy the grind of becoming an expert of the material placed before you. Together, we can learn to enjoy the process as well as enjoy the results you will achieve. Whether you are working through upper-level science courses to complete a pre-med degree, taking the MCAT before applying to medical school, or studying...

...friends and members of my local church would often ask me to tutor their children, a request I would grant as much as my schedule allowed. My professional experience with tutoring only began in college, when I was hired as a teaching assistant for the Duke TIP summer program. After graduation, I worked for an international test prep company for two years. In addition to teaching classes on the SAT, ACT, and SAT II Subject...

My tutoring career formally began six years ago--since then, I have been gradually developing my own personalized collection of tips and tools for effective learning in a large range of disciplines. My journey began in high school as a tutor for a handful of middle school students struggling with mathematics. The private sessions instilled within me an appreciation for the power of conceptual connections. I found that each individual student's network of knowledge was vastly...

...teaching and fueled my desire to become a professor, leading to my decision to go to VCU for my PhD. I am extremely passionate about science and love helping students come to a place of understanding and appreciation for the material they are learning. The "ah-ha!" moment when students go from confusion to understanding is something I take great joy in and hope to continue to do so by tutoring through wyzant.

...work well with students ages K-12. My approach to tutoring is goal-oriented and compassionate. I understand the immense pressures felt by students in pursuit of academic and future success. With this understanding, I have developed ways of communicating and relating to the needs of my students to positively impact their learning. I am confident in my ability to work well with students and their parents. I provide tools, resources and a mindset necessary to improve...

Service has been a crucial part of my entire life. I want to continue helping people in the best way that I can: By spreading knowledge.

Knowledge is accessible to all. One of the most common problems I see is students trying to learn or being taught in a way that doesn't access the way they learn best. I approach all learning from multiple directions to utilize the most efficient route to content mastery for all students.

I am Timothy, a physics tutor with years of experience teaching at every level from elementary to graduate school! I form a great rapport with older students and I am able to keep younger students engaged and productive!

I believe in Interdisciplinary studies merging fundamentals of physical, quantitative, biological and metaphysical sciences to improve human life from molecules to societies.

...awful! I was fortunate enough to have quite a few teachers in the first category and I've somehow managed to absorb their enthusiasm for teaching along with the material. I went through the Engineering Entrepreneurship Program and have gained experience working in startup companies and in industry. So I also know how to make the material relevant to the real world. I plan to return to school next year to pursue a PhD but in...

...high school, I was a teaching assistant for the Physics department at my high school, and one of my responsibilities was making sure to instill a solid understanding of the fundamentals of physics during physics tutorial sessions. At university, I have joined tutoring organizations such as Vanderbilt Student Volunteers for Science (VSVS) and Code Ignite that both bring STEM to the community and attempt to inspire interest in children about the STEM fields. I believe...
