...recent graduate from Ohio University with my Doctorate in Biochemistry. While at OU I had the opportunity be a teaching assistant in the Introductory Chemistry and Biochemistry programs for 7 years. While my laboratory research was important to me, it didn't come close the sense off accomplishment I was able to get helping students excel in the sciences. I have just recently moved to the Bay Area and am looking forward to applying my teaching...

...life. I am a disciplined tutor whose teaching philosophy is to develop the students' interest in math, then provide them with concrete examples and notes, and help students gain a greater understanding by solving practice problems. A strong practice pattern is essential for a student to succeed in a math course. In my free time, I am an avid moviegoer who occasionally enjoys a game of Chinese Chess; You will often see me in basketball...

...school (or middle school) students can benefit greatly by learning what to expect in college. I actually didn't even like Chemistry until I went to college! In college, some of the details that seem to be missing from your high school textbook are clarified, and I can give students some of that insider information now. I also understand the importance of college entrance exams like the ACT and can help with test-taking strategies, subject material...

...for so many years, I've found that a tutor isn't just another teacher to annoy the student at home, but more a mentor and friend. My students have always loved me because I will take 5-10 minutes to get to know them, their likes and dislikes, and their strengths and weaknesses. I help them out not only with their school work but other social issues they have questions with. I tell them about college and...

...graduate from Brown University who loves learning and sharing that passion with others through teaching. My interests encompass a wide range of academic subjects: my majors in college were Materials Engineering and History of Art and Architecture, and beyond that, I've developed a background in foreign languages, computer science, and writing. My experience as a teaching assistant for engineering, computer science, and architectural history classes has equipped me with the ability to engage with many...

...UC San Diego with two Bachelor degrees in Bioengineering and Economics. After working in the life sciences industry for a couple of years doing research, I decided to apply to graduate school. Alongside the application cycle, I am excited about tutoring science and math subjects given my predilection for engineering. As an undergraduate, I was a teaching assistant for the Economics Department where I taught lower and upper division sections along with hosting individual office...

...tutor a wide range of subjects including chemistry, literature, ESL, geography, religious studies, and all aspects of the SAT. I try to create a friendly but focused tutoring atmosphere which enables students to learn and to articulate their thoughts. I’m very interested in communicating how the material fits into the larger picture to help students appreciate learning and to retain more information. When I’m not studying in graduate school I enjoy reading (especially medieval history),...

I am currently a sophomore at Stanford University studying bio-engineering along with pre-med. I have tutored in the past and love seeing the students I tutor progress. I also coach gymnastics, so I greatly enjoy working with people and teaching them skills in general. I specialize in ACT and high school math tutoring because I remember the importance of the subjects and would like to help other students be as successful as possible. ... I believe that the most important part of teaching students is teaching them how to learn and the importance of the learning. So, in math, I will focus on effective problem solving. In reading, I'll focus on passages. And in all subjects, I'll concentrate on how important it is to put in as much effort as possible. In other words, I will try to highlight not only how important it is to try but also how enjoyable it is to learn challenging material.

...philosophy is based on this- that if you know how something works, rather than just that it works, you will remember it better and be much more confident applying it. Additionally, I understand from experience that individual students learn in different ways, and that adapting my teaching style to each student is necessary. Finally, I've experienced many ways that math and science can be both useful and fun. Having goals for using knowledge, whether big...
