...Governor's School I found that I enjoy teaching students at all levels, from middle school through advanced undergraduate. I tutor many subjects, most especially essay writing and editing, grammar and mechanics, reading comprehension and critical thinking, public speaking, Spanish language, study skills and organization, and U.S. history and politics. The courses I have designed and taught at the University of Arizona have been cross-listed in economics, mathematics, psychology, political science, law, and family studies and...

...and opens a dialogue with clients and educators about sustaining comprehensive educational technology that centralize curricula, assessment, reporting, monitoring, and instructional effectiveness in order to make education more accessible to the nation's students. I have both the education and the experience to be of great use as a tutor. With the upcoming implementation of Common Core Standards for Science content areas, I am equipped with the tools and experience in areas both technical and practical...

...on the student's success. The success of a student isn't measured by knowledge of facts, but should instead be demonstrated by the understanding of content, to a level which is beyond rote memorization, and instead focuses on adequate application of the student's knowledge. It is the teacher's role to not create a dictionary or list of facts to be pulled from, but to encourage critical thinking, and application for any problem headed towards the student,...

...My undergraduate degree was in Chemistry and Biology and I was a student tutor for General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry I and II. Since college, I've spent time as a volunteer tutor for high school and middle school students from disadvantaged backgrounds. I love teaching and I think there's nothing quite as exciting as helping someone truly understand a topic they've been struggling with. My favorite subjects to tutor are Chemistry, Biology, Algebra, and Anatomy....

...am now returning to tutoring during my MBA studies. I struggled throughout high school until finally preparing for the SAT and ACT, so I'm adept with picking up just what you're struggling with - I was there once, too. Now having performed in the upper 10% of all standardized exams I have taken and graduated with high honors with all my degrees, I'm glad to give back and help others achieve their goals.

...rapport with the student and develop a high level of mutual trust and respect. I look for multiple approaches to learning when possible, as learning can occur from visual, auditory and sensory cues. I have also personally studied how the brain actually learns, and have used this knowledge to better my own personal knowledge and skills. My belief is that an interaction with the student provides the best avenue of learning for the student. Mistakes...

...their maximum potential. Presently, I am working on some coding projects, primarily in the Ruby-on-Rails environment, a language that I am currently brushing up on. I believe in a collaborative approach to learning, working with students to inspire in them a genuine thirst for knowledge. While I particularly enjoy tutoring in government and public policy, I also enjoy subjects as diverse as chemistry, biology, mathematics, economics, literature, and geology. In my off time, I enjoy...

...approach to tutoring subjects that center around problem solving, such as Chemistry and Physics, is to go over a variety of example problems and learn all the different methods to solving such problems. For subjects with more abstract concepts, such as Biology, Biochemistry, and other Life Science topics, my emphasis shifts towards understanding the broader picture. Outside of academia I spend a lot of time rock climbing, backpacking and doing whatever it takes to just...

I am a microbiologist with a master's degree in microbial biotechnology and a bachelor's of science in environmental science. I enjoy learning and I am always eager of learning new things. I am always trying to improve myself.I also enjoy teaching others and learning from other people, I always think patience is key when teaching. I am also a Spanish native speaker, which has let me the opportunity to help others with Spanish language.

Hello, my name is Michelle. I am originally from Vermont, but recently moved to the desert. In my spare time I do cooking experiments, go for bike rides, write short stories, and watch stand up comedy. I have a lot of patience when it comes to learning new things and I look forward to teaching!... My teaching philosophy revolves around the idea that we learn better when we are comfortable making mistakes. They are, after all, how we learn. The learning process requires patience on behalf of the student and the teacher, so that each can determine the learning style most comfortable for success.

...recently graduated from the University of Arizona with bachelor's degrees in molecular and cellular biology and music. I love to learn and enjoy applying the knowledge I've gained to helping others succeed through tutoring. I have two years of experience tutoring biology, ecology, cell biology, genetics, writing, reading, and chemistry at the undergraduate level and some experience tutoring chemistry and biology at the high school level. I look forward to meeting and working with students...

...read and loves to teach even more. I believe everyone has the capacity to be an excellent student, and the only person who can determine what that means is the student themselves. I spend most of my time doing something involved with school, whether that be homework or reading for my own benefit. But when I do get a chance to breathe, food and traveling are some of my favorite things to discuss.

...a licensed massage therapist, expanding my kinesthetic understanding considerably. Math and music theory are two of my favorite subjects to tutor, not because I know them the best, but because they are languages that describe the universe yet can be touched and felt and experienced, though this is often not how they are taught in school. I also have several years of experience teaching sport fencing and beginner piano. As for other subjects, I feel...

...taken the ACT 5 times in order to achieve the test score I wanted, so I am very experienced with that exam (and the hard work it takes to achieve those high-test scores). I love tutoring Biology because of the beautiful intricacies that make life possible, and Biology also incorporates various hard sciences such as, Chemistry and Physics. I enjoy tutoring English because language is so important in sharing with others your thoughts and your...

I have been tutoring for close to 10 years now and really enjoy working with all kinds of students in different subjects. I look forward to meeting new students here!

...terminal cancers. I grew up in Phoenix, Arizona. I moved to Tucson in 2011 to attend university. In 2015, I received my bachelor of science degree in biology with honors. I wrote my senior thesis on the DNA damage response in normal prostate endothelial cells versus prostate carcinoma. As an undergraduate, I was a Teaching Assistant (we call them preceptors) for Introduction to Biostatistics. As a preceptor I held office hours, taught class lessons as...

...topic and the student must provide feedback as to whether or not they fully understand. It is my duty to help all of my students understand (not just memorize) new topics front-to-back and to use the new knowledge as a strong foundation for future concepts. I also believe that students should not expect to be spoon-fed answers by a tutor, but instead should utilize the tutor as a source for guidance. I am very easy-going...

I love science and have a passion for conveying science to other people. Whether that be discussing science topics among my peers, friends, family, or the general public or tutoring people, I want others to have a deeper understanding of science and potentially come to enjoy it as much as I do!

...of French and would love to tutor the subject. I even went to France for six weeks while in high school and learned more in that short time than I did from the three years of formal classes! That was truly an unforgettable and life-changing journey! Nonetheless, my favorite subject to tutor is chemistry (primarily general or organic). I have been "in love" with chemistry ever since my high school chemistry teacher inspired me. As...

...earth science and biology. I have since had years of tutoring at the University of Arizona, the University of Texas. My first secret for tutoring is that usually, especially with math, the thing a student is facing at the moment, be it a homework set or an exam, is not the real trouble, but some other difficulty from before, maybe even from a course long ago, is dragging a student down, blocking him or her...
