...to perform to his or her potential, I have experienced or witnessed numerous cases in which a struggling student is able to overcome the obstacle through tailored but flexible learning techniques. I refuse to believe that students struggling in school should be refined to the model of thinking in which they are unable to grasp a certain concept. Each mind has its own frame of reference, and I believe that I have gained the experience...

...when they are made fun and intuitive. The most rewarding experience as a tutor for me is awakening the curiosity of a student, which is why I try to constantly incorporate real life examples into my teaching. I can teach Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, and Spanish at any level, but I have more experience teaching advanced classes. In my spare time I usually watch sports, play soccer or tennis, go biking, or explore new restaurants...

...especially in math and science. I graduated from The Gatton Academy of Math and Science at Western Kentucky University, named the number one public high school in the nation by Newsweek. While there I took extensive college coursework in math, physics, chemistry, biology, and the humanities while also completing my high school education. After graduating I began my undergraduate education at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, Massachusetts, recently ranked by US News...

I enjoyed learning math from early stage of my life, and I tried to share my experience with others since I was a high school student. Math is a fun subject if you know how to interact with it. I focused on "Math is fun, do not be afraid" for more than 30 students in the past 5 years.

My entire educational background was spent in science and math classes, often it wasn't easy for me, so I understand what it's like to struggle with something and feel like you will never understand. But if you work the problems enough times and never quit you'll get through it. And asking for help is never a bad thing, no one has ever gotten through all of this without help.... Understanding what it is you're doing is always the goal, but in the meantime get through the problem, and then do it 10 more times. You might feel like you're just memorizing it, but you'll be surprised how easy it is to understand something after doing this.

...decade of unpaid peer tutoring in academia, as well as from two years of paid tutoring/teaching experience with Hearth and Elite after graduating from the College in 2014. Though it may be easier to ask which subjects I do NOT tutor, I'm comfortable tutoring virtually all academic subjects and age ranges, including but not limited to: SAT (M/CR/W), ACT (M/E/R/S), AP (Chemistry, Calculus, Literature, Language, History, etc.), Writing (fiction and non-fiction), Math, Science, English, Spanish,...

...scaffolding to break concepts down into manageable parts. I have experience teaching Computer Science to a classroom of 20 high school students from different socioeconomic backgrounds. This included daily lectures, mentoring, and one on one tutoring/debugging, among other responsibilities. I also gained experience tutoring college students during my time as an undergraduate. I emphasize understanding the concepts behind a problem, not just getting the assignment working, and use real world examples to allow the student...

I have served as a tutor during middle school and high school for subjects ranging from math to history to English. I think that I'm a great tutor because I am knowledgeable in the subjects that I have listed above. I am also very patient when teaching others because I understand how difficult some concepts can be to grasp having struggled with them myself earlier in life. ... My teaching philosophy can best be described as persistent. I will try a variety of different methods, sample problems, and approaches to make sure the student is comfortable with the material on their own.
