I have had experience tutoring in major core subjects found in most High School curriculums, I am most passionate and confident while teaching Mathematic and Science subjects including Algebra 2,...

...was a member of the Peer Tutoring and Mentoring Club and enjoy working with students, primarily in math and science. My favorite subject is physics because it combines science with math and is actually applicable to real life. My learning philosophy is to just do practice problems. The more practice, the easier each problem will be. Somebody can spend all day just studying notes, but he or she will learn best by just doing practice...

...I continued tutoring underprivileged youth in north St. Louis. I love sharing my passion for education with my students. During my senior year at SLU, I became a Physics TA and taught a class of 30 students the fundamentals of applied physics. On my journey to medical school, I studied hard for the MCAT and scored in the 98th percentile. I hope to share this success with all my students in the future.... Serve as an encouraging and patient mentor. Practice problems by starting with the fundamentals to promote long-term understanding.

...you any far. But that is totally okay. At that point, students have to focus on raw test taking skills such as practicing speed reading while still attempting to understand the tone, focus, and gist of the passages. During my undergraduate career at Northwestern University, I was lucky enough to be able to be a Senior Mentor for the Gateway Science Workshop. I taught undergraduate students important inorganic chemistry topics on a weekly basis by going...

...with volunteering in the community. Prior to moving to Ohio, I participated in the highly-selective program known as Teach for America. Teach for America sends the brightest young college students to some of the lowest performing schools in the country with a minimum commitment of two years. I stayed a total of four years at my placement school. During that time I made tremendous gains with my students, focusing on AP exams, the ACT exam,...

...myself to understand a new concept or struggling to learn a new subject. Because I know how this feels, I hope to create an enjoyable learning environment for those I tutor. Sometimes it is easy to forget that learning should be fun! Yes, learning a new concept does take a lot of work and effort but enjoying the learning process is something I hope to pass along to those whom I get to teach.... I feel like everyone has a different learning style. As your tutor, I hope to discover the ways that you learn the most effectively and teach according to your learning style.

...Biology and Chemistry in a public high school in a suburb of Boston. I received my Masters of Education from Fitchburg State University, as well as an advanced degree in Educational Leadership and Management.

...went back to school for my more passionate interest and earned my Master's Degree in Microbiology and Immunology. I am currently working on my PhD in Epidemiology, and I am writing my dissertation at this time. I have been teaching for over 10 years in the areas of microbiology, immunology, and anatomy. Subjects that I tutor include microbiology, immunology, biology, epidemiology, and anatomy. The subjects that I specialize in and have the most experience are...

...the way that I was taught by my favorite teacher. He made the students feel comfortable and made learning fun. I like to describe subjects in ways that make it interesting to the student.

I also love to read, especially science fiction and fantasy.

...call me Beth. I'm a 23 year old Allegheny College graduate with a passion for learning and teaching. One day, I'd like to teach and I hope that working with Varsity Tutors and my clients will help me prepare to be a better teacher. I've always loved school, mainly because I had teachers who were extremely inspired by what they were teaching. They are why I think passion is the key to teaching and I...

...also have experience helping students prepare for the SSAT. Tutoring is rewarding because as a tutor you must ascertain the learning style of the student and then teach according to that learning style. Not every student has the same style of learning and it is rewarding to know that a student understands a concept because the presented material was taught in a way consistent with their style of learning. Upon graduation, I taught 8th grade...

...to my students. I always try and adapt to what my students need and not the other way around. In my personal life, I have many passions as well. I have a wonderful family that I love dearly and the best group of friends one could ask for. I make sure to stay extra close with these groups of people. I am also a bit of a tech nerd. Electronics and technology amaze me, and...

As a master's student and former medical student, I know how challenging academics can be. I also know how having a helping hand, a guidance through the confusion, can help one gain confidence in themselves to excel. From tutoring children to post-graduates, I have seen that all students (no matter their age, level of education, strengths, weaknesses, etc.) who are willing to learn can succeed. ... In a typical first session, the student and I usually discuss their goals and what specifically they would like to improve over time.

...developed ways to help them through state and standardized tests in my classroom, and always loved it. For adolescents, I find that reclaiming their academic experiences through reflection was just as important on drilling them in the facts when it came to ACT, SAT, and AP preparation. A few opportunities to help the parents of my students reinvigorated me as I helped adults get their GED, pass required college courses for their degree, and prove...

...As for me outside the tutoring world, I graduated from the University of Arizona with a BS in Physiology, and I am currently getting my Masters in Medical Physiology at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH. I am a huge basketball fan, so I was thrilled when LeBron decided to return to Cleveland about the same time that I moved here! In my spare time, I do my best to tour the city of...

...- May 2013 teaching as an instructor for Bowling Green State University's Department of Environment and Sustainability. In this position I was able to "go out and get muddy" on a regular basis with my students. At BGSU I taught courses in introductory environmental studies (ENVS 1010) environmental field and laboratory methods (ENVS 3100) and environmental field experience (ENVS 4930). ENVS 1010 is a lecture based course with an environmental service component. As such I...

...in Biomedical Engineering and I am performing my thesis work at the Cleveland Clinic in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. Because of my extensive coursework in Biology and the Life Sciences, I will focus my tutoring efforts on these subjects. I can confidently help students in these subjects. I hope that my students will enjoy learning as much as I have and that they become confident and proficient students. While at Ohio State, I was...

...I help students conquer. I firmly stand by the statement that every person has the ability to learn, just in different ways. I have experienced this on a day to day basis not only with my own siblings and children, but the students at Tri-C who have learned how to learn. They do not need to visit me as often then for help, but rather they stop in to share with me their successes!... The materials I use depend on the student and the subject. Scrap paper is very important for everything from having extra space to work/draw, to folding, to tearing up; each is to demonstrate an idea.

...am a science nerd! I spent six years studying Biology, both as an undergrad and graduate student. I enjoy teaching!! It was the best part of being a graduate student. I was part of a peer tutoring/teaching program at my University, Northeastern State University. I helped a few students achieve a higher grade in their Biology courses. I was also a TA during grad school and helped teach Physical Science and Physics lab. I am...
