I am physics major from Virginia Tech, class of 2015. I have been involved with sports for my whole life and am really into weight lifting and playing basketball. While studying at Virginia Tech, I have volunteered with Special Olympics, the American Cancer Society, Alzheimer's Association, and various other service initiatives. During the Summer of 2013, I studied Irish politics and culture at Queen's University Belfast on a scholarship from the Fulbright Commission. My favorite subjects to tutor are physics and calculus. I am familiar with the struggles that students often have in understanding a topic and am able to diagnose how much explanation is needed in order to help the student understand it in their own way. To me, being able to say it in your own words is the most important part of internalizing the subject.

As a zealous science enthusiast, I would love to help you reach you greatest potential as a student. I have a B.S. in Chemistry and a Professional Science Master's in Nanoscience, and will do my best to help you achieve your dreams! Please feel free to call me by my middle name, Brandon.

I am a lifelong learner with an academic background in language and literature, and, before that, in mathematics. I pride myself on having strong problem-solving skills, a can-do attitude, and the ability to share what I know with others.Beyond being just a good test-taker, a tutor must also be able to articulate robust reasons for favoring a specific approach to finding the answer or solution to a problem. A good instructor can make these reasons intelligible and abstract from them lessons that students can then apply independently. Since there are usually at least two ways of finding the right answer to a multiple-choice problem, it is important to be able to provide in-depth, theoretical solutions for those who want to go into the nitty-gritty, but also to solve problems using surface strategies for excluding wrong answers for students who, for instance, are more interested in 'surviving' the quantitative section rather than 'acing' it. Different students are likely to want different outcomes from their tests, and these goals and expectations should be determined in advance.As a tutor, I want to share my passion for problem-solving with others and foster an open, positive attitude about standardized tests. Attitude is very important a student who is open and confident about being able to solve the problem, even if not initially exactly sure how, might be closer to the right answer than one who actually knows how, but who has to first overcome a threshold of intimidation before being able to start thinking about the question itself. Part of the tutor's job is to make the tests less daunting and more approachable. I will give students not just the information they need to solve a problem, but also the confidence that they can dependably answer others like it in the future. Minimizing students' bafflement in encounters with math or complicated verbal reasoning questions, and replacing it with a spirit of 'you got this' is part of a successful tutoring experience.I see no better tool for intellectual exploration than guided conversation. Learning is best framed as dialogue, not as a one way-communication. A conversation can help students identify their strengths and weaknesses, and find out how to direct their efforts to improve. Self-knowledge equates with self-reliance, and a proficient test-taker is ultimately an independent thinker who can recognize the applicability of strategies that she has learned beforehand, and apply them without needing input or confirmation from a tutor.Like the teachers who have inspired me to internalize the critical mindset and quick response needed to become a proficient test-taker, I am confident that I have a good body of knowledge to impart, and welcome the opportunity to provide others with the kind of guidance which I myself have benefitted from.

I recently graduated from Kenyon College with a double major in Studio Art and Biology. I have tutored Biology, Maths, German, and ACT prep. For several summers, I interned at the Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics, and Computing (CEISMC) at Georgia Tech. I served as a camp counselor for the Center's camps. These programs' participants ranged from elementary to high school students. I kept their schedules, interacted with parents, supervised activities, and aided the instructors. Last semester, I also tutored an introductory biology course for non-majors at Kenyon College. I sat in on lectures and provided weekly and occasionally bi-weekly assistance outside of class at the college's Math and Science Skills Center. This job required a great deal of creative thinking, as I often had to explain a concept from different perspectives for the students and push them to discover answers for themselves.

I recently moved to D.C. after graduating from Brown University with a B.S. in Chemical Biology. While in college, I had the opportunity to become a teaching assistant for both introductory and upper-level biochemistry courses, which I truly enjoyed. By using the insights I have gained through my experience as a teaching assistant, I would love to help students out by facilitating their learning process. I look forward to hearing from and meeting you!

Hello everyone! I am a current third year medical student who is pursuing a medical career today thanks to a few very special mentors in my academic life. My goal as a tutor is to instill in my students an excitement for learning that encourages them to reach higher goals on their own. I believe math is the gateway subject that allows students to build confidence and tackle virtually every other subject. I also love learning and speaking new languages, which is a cultural window to a world of people that we were never privy to before. I would like to pass this love of languages on to my students as well.

I am a Senior MDiv graduate student at Princeton Theological Seminary. I live in Philadelphia, but hail from Lubbock, TX by way of Gruver, TX. I graduated in 2010 from The College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, VA with a degree in History and Religious Studies. Following matriculation from America???s second oldest, but most beloved university, I served as a teacher at a small inner-city school in New Haven, CT. While there, I taught Language Arts and Social Studies units, tutored all subjects, and specialized in a class called ???Peace and Justice.??? I paid special attention to pursuing a vocation that would allow me to continue the lifestyle I have worked to lead since I was in middle-school: loving learning and loving other people. I am continuing my work with high-promise youth in the city of Trenton through the PEI Probation and Intervention program, seeking to introduce a solid tutor into the lives of the young men and women who are seeking a second chance from the system. In my spare time, I play a lot of sports and strum the guitar while listening to country music. I look forward to working with you!

My philosophy as amathematics tutorconsists of two imperatives: content knowledge and communication. I do not believe someone can successfully explain a subject without first having a deep and thorough understanding of the subject themself. However, someone can have all the knowledge in the world, but it would be useless if they could not patiently and efficiently instruct others. When it comes to math tutoring, I am particularly qualified in both regards.In June, I graduated summa cum laude inMathematicsfrom the Honors College at the University of Oregon (GPA: 4.02). In my education, I studied both a broad and deep mathematical curriculum, received a fellowship to conductmathematical research in knot theory, and acedCalculus7 (...just kidding about that last one). I have taken several graduate-levelmathcourses and plan on continuing my academics by earning a Ph.D. inmatheducation. (If it's not obvious, I have a thing formath.)I was amathtutorat my university for three years. I tutored education majors taking a rigorous mathematics content course. So not only did Itutormath, but I tutored for a course designed to provide students with the knowledge to be effective teachers. This has equipped me with the necessary pedagogical understanding to patiently and knowledgeably explain complicated subjects in easy-to-grasp terms.In short, I am atutorwho knows what I'm talking about, knows how to explain it, and can do it in a relatable way. Whether your child is struggling or overachieving in theirmathclass, I want to help them better understand andhopefullyappreciate mathematics.

One thing I know for sure is, as a student, the feeling of studying for a class or test and only vaguely understanding the material can be extremely stressful. That's why I am more than happy to share my knowledge with others who are struggling! Tutoring is a great way for me to spend my time helping others excel.I am currently a student at Rice University in Houston, Texas where I am majoring in Mathematical Economic Analysis. I have a strong math background and am also to teach test prep, having scored in the top percentile on the SAT and PSAT in high school. Best of all, I am still in school, so I know exactly what it is like to have classes, homework, tests, and deadlines!

Biotechnology major at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. I am on the genetics/cell biology track, however, I have hands-on experience working with a multitude of biology and math subjects(Including a personal passion for algebra). I work marketing for WPI Admissions, and I am a tour guide. I have experience working with kids of all ages, and love sharing my knowledge. My goal is to create a fun and safe learning environment while still keeping it professional!
