David ...and Chemistry, and university freshman courses in the same subjects. However, I can tutor essentially any Science and Math taught in high school.

Eugene I am currently in my second year of pharmacy school at Butler University. I believe the only limitations for a student are the limits they place upon themselves. I strive to show students their possibilities they can achieve and guide them along the way. I could not have gotten to where I am today without...

Bradley I am very interested in tutoring as I feel that it is a way to make a positive difference in the lives of others. It also helps me to further hone my skills as a professional educator.... My teaching philosophy incorporates an analysis of data - such as standardized test scores, grades, etc. - as well as interaction and observation with the client to determine their method of learning.

Casey ...act as a motivator for my students, combatting the view that many students have of math as "pointless". Outside of tutoring, I like to play music and be outdoors. I have been playing guitar and piano for most of my life. I also love backpacking, kayaking, paddle boarding, biking, and exploring in general.... There are two main virtues that I focus on in my philosophy of teaching: patience and empathy. Patience is absolutely necessary to teach effectively. When I first began tutoring, I would find myself giving a short explanation of why I performed some step in a math question which I wasn't concerned about, and I would ignore if the student didn't understand that step since I was rushed to get to the main point of the question. Quality is more important than quantity when it comes to teaching. I would much rather walk away from a tutoring session feeling that a student deeply understands every detail of only one question than having a shallow understanding of several questions. Regarding empathy, I find it important to try to remember what it was like to struggle as a student. Learning from a tutor has an emotional factor to it, in that the tutee is struggling or wants additional assistance with something, and might be afraid of judgment from the tutor. They might think, "He might think I'm stupid," or, "She won't want to help me because I haven't been good enough." It is so important to me to ensure that the student does not feel stupid. In my opinion, there is nothing more inhibiting to a student's success than the student thinking he/she is stupid. Uplifting students (especially those who are in need) by putting myself in their shoes and treating them as an equal is something I always try to implement in my teaching.

Braxton ...is like an assistant manager. My job is interesting, active, and varied, but I missed tutoring and want to make math and other subjects as easy as possible to approach and grasp for students. With the right time and a commitment to tailoring a tutoring style for the person being assisted, any student can pass...
