I graduated from the International Baccalaureate Program at Richard Montgomery, and was an AP Scholar with distinction. I love working with people to help promote understanding, especially in the areas of math and science.... Teaching style should strongly depend on the student, else you risk either wasting time...

...Rice University, I tutored middle and high school students in a variety of subjects focusing on math and physics. As a tutor, I emphasize patiently guiding my student to the correct answer, rather than giving it to them. I believe this method is the best way for the student to master the material. I enjoy the "aha!" moment my students have when the concept finally clicks. In my free time, I work on my two...

...my tutoring style to each individual student. We all learn differently and we are all motivated differently. Some students need help memorizing material while others need help learning how to focus and be efficient. I believe it is my job as a tutor to find the best method for each individual. Besides creating scientific experiments and sharing my love for knowledge, I really enjoy being outdoors. I am involved in team sports. Most recently I...

...experience and I tutored friends throughout college. I have received excellent teacher evaluations at both the University of Texas and Singapore University of Technology and Design. These two universities have students that are very different from each other and I excelled in teaching both groups. My background is in mathematics, I have a bachelors and masters degree in math from UT and NYU respectively, but I branched out from pure math and received a PhD...

...as the Educational Testing Service (ETS) creates and administers the exam, and I find it the most realistic indicator of how the questions will appear on test day. I hand out guides for the Quantitive section (with formulas and hints for the Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry and Data Analysis chapters) and the Verbal and Essay sections (with tips for learning vocabulary and guides for Sentence Equivalence, Reading Comprehension, and the Issue Essay). I received my BA...

...algebra and etc. My philosophy in teaching is building the concepts in the mind of the student. Concept building is very crucial since it will allow the student to think in different dimensions, to be creative and ultimately to have fun with it!! Apart from teaching and Mathematics, I enjoy the outdoors, 60's 70's and 80's rock music, cycling, hiking and movies. I am a fan of the NFL, World Rugby and Cricket. During summer...

...as well including biology, physiology, and chemistry to name a few. Having won several science awards, I know lots of fun facts to share with my tutees. During my tutoring sessions, I make subjects applicable by giving real life examples. I am also strong believer in interactive lessons, by asking lots of questions and solving problems together. I like to tailor lessons according to individual needs. Look forward to helping you achieve your academic goals.

My academic career coupled with my prior work experiences in education have reinforced my passion for learning. I strongly believe that knowledge is power, and I drive to help others believe in themselves through...

...also speak Korean to those students who may speak that language. My strongest subject for tutoring is math and physics, but I also enjoy tutoring government and political science simply because those topics lead to interesting discussions that tend to pique students' minds. I always try to tie real life examples with the topic of the day, whether it be history or math, because that insight can often make the topic enjoyable as well as...

...student to behave more comfortably, and in turn, get more out of the material that they are learning. This strategy has worked especially well in the Baltimore City Prison. I do recognize that each student is an individual and may have different ways of learning material. Given this, I am very flexible and can easily cater to the needs that he or she may have. I look forward to helping you reach your academic potential!

...graduate TA has allowed me to obtain a lot of experience teaching General and Organic Chemistry. Each year I look forward to seeing the students do well in the course and often employ the use of metaphors, examples, and models in order to make chemistry less mysterious and ensure understanding of the material.

...and improving performance. Helping students through these stressful exams is highly rewarding as there is a very tangible benefit from proper studying for these tests and seeing my students excel is something that I strive for.

I earned my B.S. in Pre-Veterinary Medicine at the University of Delaware where I...

...Park. I have enjoyed working as an Engineer since graduating in 2007, but I have missed tutoring and teaching. My philosophy is that everyone has the ability to learn, the material just has to be presented in a way that is easy to comprehend. I have experience tutoring high school and college level math and science, and I enjoy being able to help a student understand new material and take away testing anxiety.

...because I am always equipped with encouragement and patience. Aside from teaching I also enjoy playing sports, instruments, and having a good time with friends.
