...II for two years which involved working with a laboratory section of over 40 undergraduate students of various majors as well as helping to staff designated tutoring sessions for the course material, and briefly as a one-on-one Biomechanics tutor for a few months. I also participated in a few outreach programs (with RPI's Biomedical Engineering...

...degrees in Mathematics, and started teaching university classes in Algebra, Calculus, and Statistics. For the past 6 years, I have been tutoring mathematics online, and I have been really enjoying the challenge. Its fun working closely with individual students, and helping them through their struggles with math. The positive feedback I get on a daily...

I have tutored for two years. I excelled in math and science courses throughout school and would love the opportunity to help you do the same.

Hello! I am a M.S. Chemistry Major from Washington State University. I have been a teaching assistant for 2.5 years for general chemistry. I enjoy education and teaching through a visual hand drawn approach and using web-sites to demonstrate chemical concepts.

...lessons in an elementary school and I've been a volunteer math tutor for high schoolers. I've also tutored community college students professionally in college algebra and calculus. I believe that the best way to learn is collaboratively and interactively. I teach by working together with my students to tackle problems and develop a firm grasp...

...of algorithms and how to compute, and more of a study of elegance. In Calculus, we learn the sophistication of the exponential function and how its value at a point is also its slope, and how we can use this to our advantage in differential equations. My lifelong love of mathematics, as well as many...

...goal is to make students develop passion in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). I will not only make them plug numbers into equations, but will relate these equations with real life situations and arts. I believe through this technique of teaching and learning, students will excel in sciences and mathematics, and arts as well.

...in medical research. In addition to lab work, I love to teach and help others learn. During my high school career, I volunteered at a preschool and tutored Honors Physics for my school's National Honors Society. At Rensselaer, I recently joined a club called the Science Ambassadors that encourages interest in STEM fields by traveling...

...I'm Jay a senior Mechanical Engineering Student. I was a camp counselor an tutor for two summers and I really enjoyed it, I'm excited to be tutoring again! A bit more about me, I'm 22 interning in NYC for the summer and in the Fall I'll be in Troy NY. I like video games, theater,...

All of the skills I have gained through these experiences will be put to use giving you the...

...I feel that knowing a subject and knowing how to teach said subject can be quite different. Being able to relate to different types of people and understanding different learning styles is extremely important and listening for comprehension, as a teacher/tutor, is a necessary skill that I don't see enough of. Knowing how crucial it...

Hi! I'm Matt. I study physics and computer science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. I want to help you understand physics, math, and computer science in an intuitive way that builds deep knowledge of the subject and the connections between different fields that I find so interesting.

...years. As much as I love teaching I also love to make people laugh and when I am able to do both it really makes my job worth it. Right now, I'm studying Game Design and Communications at RPI, focusing on how best to teach people complicated systems without losing their attention. This informs my...

...problems in the future. As for the specific subjects, Mechanical Engineering at RPI requires you to be a 'Jack of All Trades'. Almost every subject from high school could be used on a day-to-day basis, which helps keep a lot of that material fresh. I'm happy to help with Physics, Algebra, AP Math/Science/English, Economics, as...

...didn't initially think I would get much out of them, but I soon recognized how helpful and beneficial it was to have someone working through and guiding me through problems. It was this hands on interaction and collaborative learning that showed me the value and importance of mentors and tutors and the impact they could...

...tutoring students in writing and verbal communication, and I have taught undergraduate courses in the humanities and social sciences. I love working one-on-one with students and believe that learning is most effective when it's engaging and fun. My goal is to make myself obsolete! Our tutoring sessions will be geared toward both short-term and long-term...

...and teaching math, English, physics, and other subjects to students from elementary school to seniors in high school. I like to relate problems to the real world and provide students with a foundation to figure things out for themselves without giving them answers. This may all sound pretty bland, but I have a variety of...

...his or her own. It is important for the tutor to recognize which approach is appropriate. Frequently, when students struggle, it is because they do not understand the notation or terminology in use.
