...No Child Left Behind and mentored at-risk students in various grades, mostly focused in a high school setting. My main focus is to build on independent learning and mentor students to become proactive members of the community. I founded a nonprofit organization in college called SeriousFun and that laid the foundation to be positive and active members in the community. I believe strongly that any student of mine can be a leader and become accountable,...

...favorites being general science, ACT Science, and Biology (honors and AP included). I love that science explains how the world around us worksfrom why the sky is blue, to why we resemble our parents. I enjoy working with all types of studentswhether they do not particularly enjoy the subject, or are driven from the get go. My teaching style is creative, engaging, and goal oriented. I like to get to know my students and their...

...SATs and the LSAT. More and more people asked me to tutor their children, so I contacted Varsity tutors to extend my reach to people who did not know me personally. My style is energetic and engaging. As a trial attorney, I routinely have to communicate complex matters to a jury that has no experience in the fields of chemistry, biology and physics. This forces me to adopt an engaging style to ensure they do...

...real difference while tutoring. I began causally tutoring family friends in high school, and over the years I've worked with students of varied backgrounds -- from those re-taking failed classes to those applying to (and being accepted at) the best universities. I'm proud to say that I've helped all my students reach their goals, frequently pushing them to exceed their expectations. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time outdoors and exploring all that Arizona...

...range of sciences. While graduating summa cum laude with a degree in Biological Sciences, I've been fortunate to gain significant experience in tutoring ALL LEVELS of students from elementary school to undergraduate. Through these endeavors, I've grown incredibly passionate about mentoring aspiring college/medical students and teaching them the essentials of crafting a competitive application (personal statement/resume/extracurriculars). My favorite aspect of tutoring is fostering a 1-on-1 connection with my students and truly adapting to their specific...

...Reading since 1997. I love to understand something I have struggled to comprehend, and so I enjoy tutoring students to achieve a breakthrough in understanding and accomplishment. As I learn best in a visual and hands-on format this is my teaching style as well. Prior to becoming a teacher I was a business owner and licensed contractor producing rock and gravel and building roads. I am an enthusiastic proponent of Education – my own and...

...goal to make all the material relevant and interesting. I want my students to be as excited as me to learn each and every class. While I currently teach college students professionally, I still really enjoy tutoring younger students. I have worked with students from kindergarten all the way to 12th grade, teaching math, computers, English, and Spanish. I look forward to my time working with students and will do everything I can to help...

...by facilitating the lab portion of it. An important methodology of my work with students is that I ask a lot of questions of the student I'm working with. I want my clients to grasp the material step by step and I really encourage them to try as hard as they can. I truly feel that anyone can assimilate nearly any subject as long as they put effort into it and I really try to...

...I have held two very different chemistry based jobs (one that I am currently in now) since graduation in which I test drinking water and foods for a vast array of microbial agents and chemical compounds that are dangerous to the public. Using my experience in both academics, research and in my career, I have been able to tie in real world problems and solutions to students I have taught and tutored, and hope I...

...carious genres (thriller, murder mystery, and horror) and hope to get them published someday. My approach to tutoring is to help ensure that the student has a solid understanding of the fundamentals of what they're learning. While it may be possible to get through a class by memorizing seemingly disjointed facts, students will have a much easier time learning and remembering information if they understand why it's important in the first place, and how it...

...well as Biology. With 25+ years working in Special Education, I have the experience to help you learn content as well as organization, study skills, time management, and self-discipline. I am also able to assist with IEPs and accommodations as needed. I am a people person who has learned the value of helping individual students succeed. I am also passionate about spending time with family and friends, reading, and doing crafts. I am excited to...

...as a Health Sciences major. While at ASU I had the opportunity to work at the Downtown Student Success Center for two years as a supplemental instructor. Most of my students were pre-med or studying to become nurses. My favorite subject to teach was Anatomy/Physiology, but I also enjoyed most math and sciences courses especially General and Organic Chemistry. In my spare time, I enjoy competing in all types of sports, reading a good book...

...Science with a specialization in Neuroscience from the University of California San Diego. Between my undergraduate education and medical school education, I tutored high school students in a variety of subjects, including Algebra, Chemistry, Biology, and Spanish. My favorite subject to tutor is Chemistry, because it is one that students struggle with a lot, and it makes me happy to see a student grasp a concept they have worked hard to understand. I believe that...

...what I was capable of sharing information and how much fun it was. Education to me is something that should be enjoyed. If one is not enjoying what they are doing, what's the point?! I love science particularly because it allows a hands on experience, where involvement and stimulation creates motivation and questions. I like to have fun with what I learn and pass on the experience to those I teach/tutor. In addition to my...

...a physiology major, so I settled for Kinesiology: the study of human movement. I also took 20+ credits of chemistry and realized how awesome of a subject it also was. It is amazing how often chemistry and biology are used in our every-day lives. For this reason I love tutoring the subjects. There is no greater feeling than knowing I helped someone succeed in life, and I am lucky enough to get that satisfying feeling...

...My students achieved top scores, despite the fact that each encountered different obstacles during their preparation. I have learned that tutoring is incredibly dynamic: every student is different in their capabilities and learning style. As a tutor, I strive to develop a strong rapport with each group and their families in order to tailor my teaching approach to the group's energy. In my spare time, I love being outdoors (running, hiking, swimming) to enjoy the...

...during my undergrad, I have provided private tutoring in a variety of subjects over the last 12 years. This, combined with experience from instructing four university courses during my graduate studies, has allowed me to develop what I like to believe is an effective teaching style, focused on addressing outcomes both short-term (passing a test) and long-term (learning fundamental concepts relevant to future courses). When I’m not busy with work, I enjoy exercising, mostly running...

...is fun, helpful, but also logical. Students learn best when subjects are broken down into simple, easy-to-understand steps. That's my teaching style, taking concepts and moving forward one step at a time. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities and playing sports. Basketball, hiking, swimming, and reading are a few of my hobbies. I'm a driven and passionate individual that loves to see progress. I can't wait to get a chance to work with...

...way out of a job as quickly as possible. Give the student study skills, tools and confidence to get to their desired level of competence on their own. I don't give answers; we find them together. I try to add realism and practicality to the sometimes dry, theoretical learning experience. There is nothing more satisfying than to see a student's success and progress. I love music and sing in three groups that entertain at hospitals...

...Last August 2013, I was given the opportunity to teach 2 General Chemistry lab courses as an adjunct faculty member at Paradise Valley Community College. Currently, I am applying to medical schools across the country with the intention of matriculating next Fall 2015 and obtain my MD or DO by 2019. I also have another job as an emergency medical scribe, where I work in 3 different ER's throughout Phoenix, AZ. My philosophy towards learning...
