...enjoy traveling in different countries, and have worked with children and students in Mexico and Uganda. I am a bit of a language nerd; growing up in a Russian-speaking Ukrainian household, studying French, German, and Latin in high school, and also learning some Spanish, Korean, Swahili, and Luganda on my own. I have been a Sunday School teacher, a French language immersion school teacher assistant, and I have also unofficially tutored students throughout the years...

...just the first step in what is hopefully a lasting relationship. Though I like to think of myself as a scientist, in truth I aspire to be a science educator, and plan on attending graduate school to become a teacher. I recently graduated with a B.S. In Environmental Biology and I have since worked on ecological studies of population structures, and most recently worked as a zookeeper, caring for animals and teaching guests about conservationism....

...my Masters of Engineering degree in Biomedical Engineering at Cornell University. My experience in tutoring stems from my time working as a physics TA as well as working as a math tutor for a teaching facility in the Seattle area.

When not tutoring I enjoy hunting for my...

...coaching. I am very passionate about making learning as accessible and engaging for every, unique student. Especially having worked with students from varying disadvantaged backgrounds, I have found significant success in turning education into a fun and relatable experience. I truly believe in the empowering role of education and try to foster this enthusiasm in my students. In my free time, I cook often, listen to many podcasts, knit, and spend time with my niece.

...turns "teaching" the material to each other turned out to be the most effective way for me to really comprehend the material I was learning. This affinity for teaching turned me tutoring. I also have spent quite a bit of time in the research realm, where I had to broker complex scientific topics to people and agencies that needed the gist of the situation without having the foundational scientific knowledge. This experience taught me how...

...I look forward to every new student I tutor for a myriad of reasons! First, both teaching and learning are much easier in a 1-on-1 scenario, because the tutor must only focus on the growth of a single student. Additionally, the student and tutor can actually discuss the subject to really build an understanding of it. I incorporate lots of real-world applications and analogies in my teaching, as I know from experience that bridging the...

...way of teaching, and I am ready to help the student in the best way to address, assist, and solve any problem with all help needed. I usually spend part of the first session to define and outline which problems the students have. I follow the lessons of the teacher and add more examples that will be studied during the session. If I have the student for several sessions, at the end of each session...

...American History, and Torah studies at Sunday school. I spent every summer working at summer camps, where I helped teach science and art history. In college, I tutored French and American Politics. I believe that teaching material to others is the best way to learn. So, for me, tutoring has always been intrinsically entwined with my own studies and thirst for knowledge. As a tutor, I try to pass on my philosophy of study and...

...children in small groups in a more casual environment. Despite the focus on children, I have also worked with peers in math and physics and enjoy employing many different methods of learning, such as 3D models, folding paper, Mathematica graphs and simulations, and physician demonstrations. My favorite subject to teach is literature, with physics and mathematics close seconds. My teaching philosophy can be summed up as follows: Learning should be fun. People learn at different...

...calculus I, calculus II, and statistics. I enjoy the lecture part of teaching but, really, the best part of the job is working with my students one-on-one, getting to know them and really addressing what each needs to succeed in their studies. I'd love to work with you.I have a Bachelor's in Mathematics/Music from the University of Oregon and a master's in Mathematics from Oregon State University. I also have additional work towards a second...

I am currently an undergraduate student in college studying engineering. I hope to not only help students better understand their material, but also inspire them to enjoy learning, as I came to really appreciate the intellectual challenge of learning from great teachers and professors, whose roles I seek to embody as much as I can as a tutor.

My goal is to connect with students to help making learning enjoyable. Through a variety of teaching methods I help students gain a full understanding of material instead of simply memorizing facts for an exam.

I am a science communicator with a background in English, biology, and environmental education. I have worked previously on a citizen science initiative, The American Kestrel Partnership, and recently graduated from the University of Oregon with M.S. degrees in Environmental Studies and Multimedia Journalism.

I love relating subjects like math and physics to the real world to encourage students to want to learn more. When...

...a students mental health is addressed and answered for, their identity validated, learning flows like no other. We are programmed to learn, excited to learn, sometimes we just have to convince the students that the material they are to learn is pertinent to them. This have proven true, no matter the age of population. This idea has always remained true; treat the students as individuals with their own goals and aspirations, they will respect you...

My goal is to get my students to the point where they no longer need me. I like to focus on the underlying concepts so that students can apply what we learn in our sessions to problems they haven't seen before. After our sessions, my students should be able to have a concrete plan when attempting a new problem and be able to extrapolate their knowledge of concepts to master the details.... Concepts first, details later....

...commitment and believe personal growth comes with true dedication. I focus on time-efficiency, utilizing my resources, and organization for academic success. Medical school allowed me the opportunity to dissect cadavers for one year, which greatly benefited my knowledge of human anatomy. My other areas of expertise include physiology, microbiology, and immunology. As a tutor, I want to encourage enthusiasm and share the reward of academic accomplishment. My ultimate goal is to become a board certified...

I have over 10 years of education related experience. Much of it has been centered around language and literacy, whether it is Spanish, ESL, helping secondary students write research papers and access academic content and vocabulary, or...

I am a MD PhD from Germany who has been living and working in the US now for more than 2.5 yrs. I love teaching students, seeing them improve themselves while learning. Nothing makes teaching more worth it than creating that spark in a students eye, because he/she either really understood something or is just fascinated with the topic and wants to know more.
