...a new light. From four summers as a leadership camp counselor, I have gained confidence working one-on-one with a student to help them consider new perspectives, and from four years of discussion sections in college where I presented solutions to the class I have learned to present my work cleanly and comprehensibly.... The first step is listening and learning where the student is in their understanding of the topic. Then I work with the student to...

...I am happy to be able to provide that support to other students. Outside of school and tutoring I enjoy playing soccer and generally being active outdoors. This last spring I had the incredible opportunity to climb Kilimanjaro. Additionally, I love to read and write. Some of my favorite books include The Lord of the...

...I have personally improved the grades of many of my peers through studying sessions with me by as much as 30%.

...from elementary schoolers to adults at the non-profit program Safe Place: Homework Help.

All these experiences have helped me develop a variety of strategies to adapt to different...

...all levels of math from algebra to Calculus II. Most recently, I worked with algebra and geometry students at Southwest High School in Minneapolis. I believe that I can use my previous experiences to effectively establish a positive tutor-student relationship with a wide variety of students, and that my knowledge and experience as a tutor...

...strategies for working under time pressure, narrowing down answers, and understanding what the questions are really saying. I value critical thinking as my philosophy of education, because students who have developed the ability to reason through new concepts and be confident in the conclusions they reach are not only well-prepared for tests, but also well-prepared...

...I think that having a great tutor can make such a difference in someone's life.

...even more joy in helping others achieve the same understanding by asking guiding questions and explaining things simply. My goal is to help students reach their full potential and develop enthusiasm for lifelong learning. As an engineer, math and science are my strongest subjects.

...and chemistry, but I enjoy physics and humanities courses as well. My teaching experience includes teaching and tutoring summer school math (and doing some test prep work) to high school students in Rochester, MN. I also have given saxophone lessons. I love teaching, and I believe strongly in active, problem based learning. For science courses,...

...learning a foreign language: listening and reading is much easier than speaking and writing. It is all too easy to fall into the trap of believing that if you come to class and understand what the instructor is saying, you don't need to practice the material. Accordingly, I emphasize the need to practice "speaking" the...

...solve problems is extremely rewarding. My favorite subject is Math (specifically Algebra, Geometry, Arithmetic and Trigonometry). As a student during my middle school, I found Math quite difficult as I could not see the purpose of solving those problems and avoided studying that subject. But when I went to high school, I had this great...

...learning. I am passionate about math and science, and love tutoring anyone in algebra and computer science. I enjoy solving logical puzzles, and I treat algebra the same way.

...Pre-College Algebra with any questions they may have while they worked on their online homework. Also, I proctored exams and personally tutored in the on campus Math Help Center. The Math Help Center was established for students to show up for walk-in hours and receive one-on-one tutoring with any college mathematics course ranging from Pre-College...

...guide students to a better understanding, so they can explain a concept in their own words (not just in my words). I like to draw out visual explanations whenever possible, for math and science concepts. I've been excited about all kinds of science for pretty much all my life, and I hope I can convey...

I enjoy helping students learn material in a way they can remember and apply in future coursework.... Perseverance trumps brilliance every time. Ask questions and work hard, and there's nothing you won't be able to understand.... I would begin by asking a few questions to see where a student is. I would then provide a useful note sheet and go over a refresher of some of the concepts we would be focusing on.

...a strong foundation of Mathematics and Statistics. Currently, I am specializing in College Algebra. I have had great success with assisting students struggling with passing College Algebra with A's and B's! I love learning!

...student at the University of Minnesota. I am highly skilled in OOP in Java and Python, and Data Structures and Algorithms.

...Classics. While at St. Olaf I spent three years tutoring for the on-campus Academic Support Center. I love being able to share my passion for Math and Latin, both of which are generally under appreciated subjects that people often struggle with. I want everyone to be able to see that they are capable of excelling.

...topic to tutor is Calculus because it helps you understand and analyze different problems in a very different way. I like helping students because I don't think they should feel like they can't accomplish something because they don't understand a topic very well, they should be able to accomplish everything they want and since education...

...have tutored - albeit not in an official capacity - since I was in high school, volunteering to help out with younger kids who struggled with math and sometimes science subjects.
