Notable positions I have held include a Success Coach for Peer Powera community centered non-profit whose goal is improving childhood education through involvement between local grade schools, universities, and corporationsand interestingly enough, a ballroom dance instructor. My academic strengths are fairly broad, with expertise in mathematics and standardized testing. A couple fun facts about myself:...

I have a BBA and an MSBA in Management Information Systems from the University of Memphis, and I am a former Instructor at Southwest TN Community College. I started working at Southwest as a Math Tutor, and I've tutored elementary and high school students. I have also assisted several colleagues with standardized placement and proficiency tests and with their undergraduate and graduate courses.... I first try to figure out where each student is academically. They may not know themselves, but I make the best determination that I can with my understanding of the subject area. Next, I begin working with them to bring them up to speed with where they need to be. I explain, demonstrate, and let them practice in their coursework. I try to keep them aware of their own progress, and work with them to bring them to the point where they can master material at a sufficient pace on their own.

...the same way. Sometimes, all it takes is someone to explain the problem to them in another manner. I have a lot of experience teaching adults, particularly in practical environments. I also have instructed children at various ages and skill levels. I have an AS and BS in Homeland Security from Everest University. I have a Masters in Public Administration from Ashford University, and I am pursuing my Doctorate in Business from North Central University....

I was doubted in middle school and high school in even getting...

...I have taught English to college-level students in China and elementary students in Spain. I'm a strong believer in "practice makes perfect", and I know from experience that receiving a good grade takes a firm personal motivation combined with a strong battle plan. When I'm not working, I like to play basketball, travel, run, and explore DC. I'm fluent in Spanish, and I also speak Portuguese, a Micronesian language, Italian, some Chinese, and some bits...

...I have taught statistics, calculus, algebra, trigonometry, physics, and prepped for tests like the ACT with everyone from my 10 year old nephew to my classmates in school. I don't think that science and math has to be as intimidating or scary as the world makes it out to be. Often times if we don't understand something, it's simply because it hasn't been explained to us in a way that caters to our strengths. I...

...any difficulties we come across or how much time it may take. This will be accomplished through clear and thorough explanation of all relevant concepts followed by plenty of practice problems to ensure the student is familiar with the material, as I believe this is the most effective way to create a student's understanding of the content. I also believe it is of the utmost importance that we establish an environment that is conducive to...

...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 hours. Herein I learned that the best method to convey complex concepts is through customized...

...Computer Science, but I also have a great passion for the sciences, math, and literature. I enjoy Chemistry and Physics, am very comfortable in math from Pre-Algebra all the way through Calculus I, and have gathered some great insight about the sort of writing that is expected from America's top universities. I love learning of all sorts, and hope to be able to share some of that passion this summer! When I'm not preparing for...

...but nothing compares to the sense of accomplishment and purpose that comes with helping others do the same. I take great pride in developing individualized tutoring programs for my students based on their specific needs and goals. I previously taught high school for several years and also have tutoring experience in a wide variety of subject areas. At this time, I focus almost exclusively on assisting students seeking top scores on graduate admissions exams, including the...
