...it uses data to help decide on the best course of action. My tutoring style is laid-back and intense at the same time: laid-back because I am quiet; a musician, not an athletic coach. My style is also intense as I am very serious about solving Math problems and being sure that my answer is right. I love Math and I love teaching. I especially like to show students that they already know Math, that...

...towards meeting this goal. My teaching philosophy is basically the Socratic method. Among its many benefits, this method makes it easy to engage with students. I also like to stress understanding. I remember the 1973 movie, "The Paper Chase", and the memorable performance by John Houseman, as Professor Kingsfield. I always thought that portrayal, in terms of teaching style, was something I admired, and I used that memory as a guide, as I strived to...

...material based on an individual's level of understanding by integrating the subject matter with practical tasks. As we prepare ourselves for a career, it becomes more and more apparent that our employer will not give us the simple task of solving for "x". If one is able to relate specific problems to everyday life and their interest, then that problem becomes more common place and less of a burden. Everything that we learn now is...

...love to play hockey (go Maroons!), tend to my many plants, and knit stuffed animals! I tutor and am knowledgeable in various subjects, and I'd love to converse in anything related to Biology, Mathematics, Chemistry, and English! I believe it is the most rewarding to help students with courses they are unsure about or need help with to further develop their critical thinking skills and broaden their horizons.

...occasional table top game like Dungeons and Dragons. I study chess rigorously, and hope to one day be a chess tutor as well. Picking the right tutor is important, but can be a tad tricky. A tutor is best served as both an educational guide and a friend. Because of the one on one nature, it's important that the tutor is someone you can look up to and trust as well as feel connected with....

...confidently and independently solve similar problems in the future. I am currently an adult ESL tutor at the Loyola Literacy Center. I have a lot of experience working with children as well.

As a child, I always had an interest in mathematics. I am very proficient in elementary math up to calculus 3. I have a passion for helping people understand mathematics. I am easy to understand, fun to work with and can relate to those who don't understand math by taking the time figuring out their fear and weaknesses in math. ...

My key to good teaching is simplicity. Also, a lot of guided practice, then, independent in the real world.

...my own experience and grasp of what my instructors are telling me now, I believe that students are extremely diverse learners, and it is up to the tutor to understand which methods will help that learning process. Flexibility, perceptiveness, perseverance, and patience are all things I believe tutors need. My approach is to see what the student knows first, ask a lot of questions, explain things multiple ways, and test for understanding. Learning is a...

I am ME soon to be computer science, major, and have been missing tutoring since I graduated high school. So I can't wait to get my hands dirty again :)

...and finding the best ways to help them understand something they struggle with or dislike. I find it very rewarding to be able to share my love of mathematics with others. I am a great communicator and can quickly adapt to different students' needs. Finding out how a student learns material best is a necessary and particular skill of mine. I have worked with teenagers outside of mathematics as well and have a great ability...
