I love to teach! I believe anyone can learn. A student has to be open to learn though and a great teacher can help to open a mind to that. Learning can be fun and especially when you work one-on-one with someone. The lessons can be focused to exactly what one needs and that really helps things to move along more quickly. After being in education for over 20 years, I am excited to work...

I am an freshman at Northwestern University looking to major in Math and Computer Science. I got into tutoring during high school, as it was a requirement for being a part of my school's Math Honor Society. I enjoyed it far more than I expected and wanted to do more of it. While I can tutor on a variety of STEM topics, I enjoy tutoring with Math related subjects the most. I can help with...

...There is something truly wonderful about seeing something "click" for a student. My teaching philosophy is simple: Nobody is simply "bad at math!" Most people have convinced themselves of this, but it simply not true. They simply haven't found someone with the patience and background to guide them to a solid understanding. One of the best ways to help someone on their learning journey is to create a space where they feel comfortable "failing" and...

I have taught grades 7-12 for the past four years and it could not have been more rewarding. I have always enjoyed being able to share interesting things with people they never knew and do so in a variety of unique ways so they could understand it. I personally believe that to help remember and understand something, it needs to be tied to something that was memorable. This is why meaningful relationships with teachers and...

I am a full-time Mechanical Engineering student at Rockhurst University, currently in my junior year!

My mission is to provide every student with a fun and educational experience that inspires a love for learning. I understand that school and life can be overwhelming, and that many people look at school as just a way to get a better job. However, as cheesy as it may sound, you never stop learning. I have experienced success and failure in the classroom throughout my academic career. I quit college for several years, unsure...

I have taught biology, botany, ecology, and environmental science at Longview Community College since January 2011. It has always been a principle of mine that any scientific concept, fact, or theory should be explainable in everyday language, and be understood by someone with no scientific training. If an instructor can explain a complex principle or theory in simple language, that instructor thoroughly understands what they are teaching. I start with this, and introduce terms and...

I developed personalized English language programs for Thai graduate-level students. When I returned to the United States, I taught refugee fifth grade boys...

At the ripe age of 19 I left school and employment to go serve as a missionary helping others. I was called to serve in Chile for two years, I did not return home for the entirety of the time I served. I love teaching and helping others understand concepts that they have struggled with. The feeling when a student "gets it" or the "lightbulb" moment is one that is very rewarding I feel it...

...of Kansas City, various Philosophy Clubs, a Science group, and am sponsor of a group called American History Enthusiasts. A teacher must also be a student.

I love problem solving and analyzing situations creatively and enjoy studying the real-world applications that accompany engineering.

...days, I suffered math anxiety. I just could not get it. It frustrated me to the point where I would give up on a problem without trying. Fortunately, I had a teacher in college who was able to identify where I was struggling, and she (patiently) worked with me to break down problems and build to progressively more complicated ones. By my sophomore year, I was able to take (and do well in!) calculus, a...
