...passionate about English, Literature, Russian Studies, Spanish Language, and History. I believe that the key to success is having a well rounded education, so when I am not programming microcontrollers, one can either find me watching Russian news channels to polish up my vocabulary, reading textbooks on the history of the Middle East, or simply immersing myself in a Jane Austen novel. In my free time I also enjoy training for CrossFit, playing the viola,...

...From my years of tutoring I have come to learn that misunderstanding of subject concepts come not from the students own lack of understanding, but rather from lack of proper interpretation of students questions. Taking the time to understand the students area of difficulty and approaching it in the manner the student feels comfortable works very well in allowing students to see why their particular way of thinking may not be correct, rather than telling...

...what I like to do. Ever since I started tutoring friends in class junior year in high school, I found that giving someone a way to understand the world better and give them insight on what that person can truly do is intrinsically rewarding. I want to continue tutoring people in the hopes that those students will truly understand the topics they are learning and, if they are truly invested in their studies, understand who...

...really enjoy teaching others what I know related to science, mathematics, and physics. Science is an exact way to describe how the world works and a way to explore opportunities to make it better. The reason I enjoy sharing what I know is that I also refresh myself, and in the process I get to meet new people and create new connections with people who share similar interests, which is most rewarding.

I taught Algebra there, as I have almost every year since: 5 years at college, 6 years middle school, and 7 years high school, here in Connecticut. At the middle school, I served as the head of the math department, IT, and SSAT testing, including English, verbal, and more. Along the way, I taught...

...a junior electrical engineering major at the University of Connecticut with over two years of industry-specific engineering work experience. Naturally, I am well versed in calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, physics (kinematics + electromagnetism) and all necessary supporting mathematics. I am also a strong analytical/technical writer, drawing on my experience in a variety of college writing subjects. My tutoring style focuses on conceptual understanding of the material, which I believe facilitates quicker/more efficient problem solving...

...develop a mutual game plan. I have had the experience to learn from many different instructors and to be able to emulate many of their styles. I realize that what works best for me may not be the best for the student I am tutoring, and I try to work in concert with their learning style. I try to make tutoring fun and to instill interest in the subject matter realizing that there is a...

...for anything math related and enjoy sharing my love for math with everyone else. I make sure that everyone understands the stuff they are learning on their own terms to make sure it is more accessible for future use. I was a Teaching Assistant for a Calculus 2 class last semester. I love baseball, swimming, and rowing. I also used to play chess competitively. I believe the way to truly understand something is to do...

Getting new insight on problems that are difficult to solve can be beneficial, even more so sometimes than self-study. I aim to provide or hint at approaches, give background on concepts, and cooperate with the student so that they succeed and are satisfied!

My expertise is Calculus 1, 2, and 3. However, I've tutored students in all subjects math related as well. I look forward to working with...

...and I'm a senior electrical engineering student at the University of Connecticut! At school, I also work as a physics and engineering tutor for first and second year students. I have always had a passion for math and science, and absolutely love to learn and then teach others! My previous work experience includes working at NASA on the Mars Mission 2020 program. In my free time I love to read, write, and hike!

...way to better both people's lives and my own. We both learn from the experience. Working on STEM problems is the favorite part of my day. Everything builds off of what you have already mastered; your skills and knowledge grow, becoming a more complex and logical tool. STEM is an amazing branch of life that has infinitely many uses and avenues to go down, whether you want to become something better or just love solving...

...several mathematics courses. I've participated in mathematics and science competitions since middle school and have tutored students in middle school and high school seeking to prepare for the AMC exams. My foremost passion is the Physical Sciences but the majority of my teaching experience has been with Mathematics. Be it for school, a standardized test, or simple curiosity, I delight in building the understanding of mathematical and physical principles. "The greatest joy is the joy...

...doing this -- as I took it upon myself during my own education to understand different ways a concept works. By doing this, I ensured that a concept makes sense to me in many ways, therefore thoroughly understanding a concept. Not only do I like to provide different ways of learning to students for those who are confused in an already taught way, I promote students to discover different ways to understand material. From my...

I have truly enjoyed studying the sciences in my college years, and since then have enjoyed even more so to tutor the scientific concepts to others!... Teaching is gauged by the comprehension of the student. If one knows something well, they can help another understand it in terms beneficial for the learner!... I like to get an idea of the student's comfort level with the material, and whether or not the student recognizes exactly which hurdles...
