...or two, then we will work together on a few that gradually get more difficult, followed by individual or small group work. My time is not spent working solely on academic material, I believe you need to be invested in the student as a whole person, and that's why I spend time getting to know their likes and dislikes, their hopes and dreams, and hopefully pushing them to be overall better people, not simply better...

...the Central Coast of California with my wife. While she is studying hard at Wash U to become a Physical Therapist, I am looking to put my fresh knowledge in Biochemistry to good use. I am considering a career in teaching science, and really enjoyed my tutoring experiences in CA. Here in St. Louis, I am excited to be a part of Varsity Tutors and to continue to refine my teaching skills in science.

...school children. My philosophy of teaching is to provide an outside-the-box perspective of understanding the problem. I believe that understanding the problem conceptually is extremely important to applying the learned knowledge to other problems. I wish to stick with my students and to never give up on them. Whether it be providing new tricks or methods of learning, I hope to persevere with the students as if I am learning the material myself again.... To teach the material not just to solve the problem, but also to be able to apply it to all other types of problems.

...my students as they have learned from me. Being involved in the medical field, I also know that I will never stop being a student and thus can relate to the struggles we all face when learning new things. I believe that the one-on-one system of tutoring is the best way to learn because personalized attention is so important, but majorly lacking in education today. I have a passion for Chemistry and Math, subjects I...

...Public Health. I returned several times and witnessed the power of education in transforming impoverished communities. At North Carolina State University, I taught children how to eat healthy on a fixed income through Cooking Matters. I am currently teaching CPR and First Aid with the Red Cross and volunteer at a free clinic in Santa Monica while I apply to Medical School. While I have taught a broad range of subjects, Biology and Spanish are...

...soon to be graduate of Tufts University just outside of Boston, Massachusetts. I study Computer Science and Drama, but while I’m not coding or acting I participate in loads of other activities including multiple sports, book clubs, board games, and more. I come from a family of educators (both my parents are teachers and I have uncles who have been deans and presidents of universities), and I love teaching and helping people learn as much...

...my graduating class. I earned outstanding scores on multiple Advanced Placement tests and the SAT. My consistently high levels of academic achievement are due to my dedication and solid study habits, and I know I will be able to impart my passion and dedication to any student I tutor. Before deciding to pursue a career in medicine, I graduated from the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley and worked in the Transaction Services division...

...communication skills, expertise in various instruction strategies, and the ability to excite students about learning. I’m particularly passionate about chemistry, and am excited to share my enthusiasm for science with others. With the life sciences, I emphasize overall understanding in place of rote memorization. With math, I stress practice to best develop critical thinking and problem solving techniques. These are general strategies that can be adapted to meet the unique learning style of each student....

...a substantial understanding in providing a positive learning experience. I have graduated with a B.A. in History and Social Science, with 3 years of educational teaching & have been studying areas of Biology, Astronomy, and other facets of educational areas that have interested me since I was a child. I have worked in customer service environments for nearly 9 years to date for the County of Los Angeles Public Library System, as well currently at...

...regard teaching as "work." I enjoy helping students and find it rewarding when a student learns a new concept. From my experience, I know it is important for an instructor to be able to put himself in the student's shoes, know the academic history of the student, the concepts they may have recently learned, their goals and objectives, and their strengths and areas of improvement. Getting to know a student and his background is important...
