...I am grateful for the opportunity to share what I know in a way that inspires and educates students. My passion for education stems from a desire to become more aware of the world around me and to help others do the same, whether in the form of writing a paper, passing a test or...

...explain the same concept in a variety of different ways and to be able to determine when a student has fully grasped the concept. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and pets, working on creative activities such as drawing and writing, and traveling whenever I have the opportunity.... During my first session, I like to spend a little time getting to know the student and their goals before getting into the material...

...Molecular Biology, and Electrophysiology. I recently moved to Seattle with my husband who is a new professor at the University of Washington. I enjoy teaching and working with students, and up until our recent move to Seattle, I have had the luxury of being surrounded by them while studying or working in various academic environments....

Hello! My name is Brendon Davis and I am a student at the University of Washington. I am studying molecular biology and I hope to some day do research on diseases. Learning is a passion of mine, and I love to share understanding and ideas through tutoring!... When I both learn and teach, my goal is to make connections between various subjects and one's own experiences. By sewing a thread through various concepts and into other...

...establish relationships with professors because they led my discussion and lab sections, much in the way that high school teachers interact with their pupils. This level of involvement between student and teacher appealed to me and I entered the academic training ground of graduate school having convinced myself that the life of a small college...

...available to tutor high school and college biology, the HL/SL IB Biology course, introductory psychology and cognitive/neuropsychology, and math up to the level of algebra, which includes introductory statistics. My real passion is for zoology; I may be applying to graduate school to study animal cognition and later teach. My teaching style incorporates that different...

...just as important as correct ones, in their own ways. I provide students with a safe atmosphere to discover both. I like working with middle and high school students mostly because they get my humor by that age. Younger students are just as fun because everything is new for them, and they're not afraid to...

...time in the Army challenged me emotionally and physically, it did not give me the academic challenge that I needed. I went to South Puget Sound Community College as soon as I separated from the service. Knowing that I would have to get some math out of the way, I took College Algebra...and loved it....

...on opposite and seemingly unrelated ends of the academic spectrum, I have found that they molded me into an equally rational and abstract thinker and creator. This complementary form of education has allowed me to connect with many different styles of learners, which has ultimately enabled me to mentor a diverse range of people in...

...I enjoy tremendously. There is nothing quite like reaching the point where a new understanding opens up a new way of looking at the world, and I find these moments in math and science. In my free time I enjoy reading or spending time outdoors and if possible, both at the same time. I also...

...life by just listening to them and showing them that someone cared about them. I would describe my teaching style as encouraging while also challenging the student to come up with their own answers and style of thinking. I believe education is very important. I know I wouldn't be where I am today without it...

...to explain the world around us in the simplest language to my young children. I enjoy the questions they ask when their concepts of how things work are just forming. I try to encourage the students I tutor to ask "why?" and give them the confidence to undertake their own independent research. I enjoy spending...

...at Brigham Young University. Since this time, I have performed as a teaching assistant for 14 University-level courses. I have also tutored students at all grade levels.

...I like to connect topics to the real world and other areas the student has more experience with or is enthusiastic about. In math especially the abstract nature of many concepts can disillusion students early on in the learning process, and bringing those ideas back to the student's world can make them more accessible and...

...educational contexts and have held various teaching/mentoring roles. Having graduated 1st in my class with a Masters degree, I know what it takes to succeed in academic settings. It is effort, not innate ability, that makes people excel. I try to put forth this effort and learn in all areas of my life, including my...

...all my notes ahead of time and really tried to remember everything I learned from AP biology class. Despite my extensive preparation, unexpected questions still came up in our sessions and we both had to struggle together to learn the concepts. But what struck me the most and gave me the small spark of passion...

...There’s an explanation that does the trick for everybody, and we just have to find it – that’s my teaching philosophy. I like to use lots of analogies and stories in my explanations, because anchoring difficult concepts in everyday experiences makes them much easier to comprehend. In addition to physics, I also enjoy tutoring subjects...

...taught graduate level classes at the University of Washington. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I really enjoy tutoring math and science. I am a mentor for a girls' after school STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) program, and I am a mentor for a high school science outreach program. As a tutor,...
