...of mine. My philosophy is that even when we are preparing for a standardized exam, we should always be relating the work to your passions, pursuits, and educational goals to make the work that much more meaningful. In my spare time, you'll often find me learning bits of new languages for fun or writing. I am currently fluent in English and French, conversational in Spanish and Mandarin Chinese, and can read some Italian, German, Dutch,...

...attending college I studied abroad for three years. Upon returning to America I graduated summa cum ladue from Yeshiva University with a degree in Biology. In college I ran a program of over 120 college students who tutored at public schools in Washington Heights. I recruited tutors, coordinated the program with the principals of the schools, and held events to help the tutors maximize their helpfulness to the public school students. I, furthermore, have served...

...graduated from Tufts University with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and a minor in Computer Science. I was the Music Director of an a cappella group at Tufts for two years and gained experience working with students one-on-one to teach difficult passages and sections of songs. I currently am a Music teacher at a local Sunday school in Somerville, and enjoy working with children and young adults of all ages. I have taken the...

...from The University of Iowa, where I also spent two years as a T.A., teaching undergraduate courses in film studies and related fields. I firmly believe that self-confidence, far more than ambition or natural aptitude, is the greatest determinant of success in an academic setting. By "confidence" I mean not only confidence in ones mastery of topical material, but, more fundamentally, confidence in ones ability to learn and think independently. As an instructor, I am...

I am looking to help students understand and learn whatever materials they are having trouble with. I have tutored for roughly 2 years while I was in high school. I'm currently in my third year of studying Biomedical Engineering at Drexel University. I would like to aid students in any way possible.... I teach students through examples and problem solving.... I would ask the student to go over what topics he/she needs help on. I would...

...something manageable and even fun! Previously, I was a volunteer test prep tutor with a non-profit. This organization provided free tutoring and college counseling to under-served, urban youth. This was an amazing experience and allowed me to use my tutoring abilities to give back to the community. I also grew up volunteering at a non-profit summer camp, so I am not afraid to get a little goofy while getting the job done. Hope to work...

...Business. Ever since high school, I was passionate about Science and Math; it just came naturally. I can easily explain the different Math and Science subjects to students to make them better understand the concepts. I have had a lot of experience in learning these subjects and therefore I have multiple ways of teaching it. There is nothing better than relating a real life example to the students so that they will remember it forever....

...to the first year medical students in the Gross Anatomy course. During my time at Bryn Mawr I tutored students who were struggling in the basic sciences (physics, biology, chemistry and organic chemistry). I've also spent a great deal of time working with children of all ages. From my time spent as a canoeing instructor for 9-14 year old boys in Belgrade Lakes, ME to my medical school pediatrics rotations, I'm very comfortable working with...

...my tutoring to help students better grasp concepts, especially ones that are more abstract (for example, using the analogy of water slides to explain flow dynamics in physics or using different color Skittles to explain mitosis/meiosis in biology). Also, especially for tests like the MCAT, I can talk about the actual test – what to expect on test day, any preparations to make going into the test, what to do the day before the test....

...student working on trigonometry cannot effectively understand cotangents or complex trig inequalities until he/she is comfortable manipulating the sin, cos and tangent functions. I approach ACT test prep with a similar notion: in order to succeed the student must understand how the test wants you to err and have a strategy for dealing with each type of question. In all subject matter, my goal is to build an understanding that is intuitive by progressing with...

I'm currently an attorney practicing criminal law in Philadelphia. I've always loved helping others learn! I grew up in Philadelphia, attended Catholic University in Washington, DC for college, and came back to the area to attend law school at Drexel University. In college, I majored in Spanish Language and Literature.... I've always found a Socratic approach to work best - that is, letting someone reach an answer by simply guiding them through what they already know...

Although I can tutor a wide range of subjects, my favorite subject would be Algebra. I have dealt...

...publishing industry I decided I wanted a more hands on approach. Now I work at a special needs high school as a paraprofessional. This job has allowed me to interact with a range of students, including those with Autism, ADD, moderate OCD, as well as students who are physically challenged. In the near future I am looking to return to school to earn my MA in Elementary Education. In the past I have also been...

...reading. I have been tutoring Wilson reading for the past two years. I believe I am successful as a tutor because I meet the student where they are and will adapt to their needs to forge a relationship fostering learning. I love animals in general but cats the most. I have two cats and volunteer with a cat rescue. If God had not given me a family with mild allergies, I might have become the...

...that, sometimes it can really help to have the material presented in alternative ways. Having learned that, I sought help from various sources -- sometimes other people, sometimes other books, videos or materials -- and was able to overcome these hurdles. Now a laboratory manager and technician in a leading neuroscience laboratory in Philadelphia with a Master's Degree in Pharmacology, I'm interested in helping students as they work through their own struggles to grasp key...

...learned all the fundamental study skills to carry me successfully through my following years to come. When I obtain my B.S. from Rutgers, I plan to go on and eventually get a Master's and Ph.D. My favorite and strongest subjects are math and the sciences. Because of my background in high school and major in college, I have plenty of experience with Calculus I through IV, Biology, Physics, and Chemistry. I love helping students in...

I have always loved working with students and have made it my personal passion to be an enthusiastic, creative, and a kind mentor and teacher. As a Spanish teacher in the Philadelphia School District I have seen first hand how creating a positive, nurturing environment within each and every student allows for greater achievement academically and personally. I want to make a difference in our community and truly believe that I can support the youth...

I recently graduated from NYU's Stern School of Business and had a great time helping prospective students on the GMAT. I scored extremely high through self-guided study and found I learned fun ways to teach some of the tougher concepts. I believe in making the session fun and student-driven - but also quickly finding any underlining problems with comprehension and addressing them.

...attend Rice University, where I majored in Psychology. I then earned a masters degree in Religion at Yale and I am now working towards a degree in Bioethics at UPenn.

Upon moving to Philadelphia, I found a position at CHOP as a research assistant and then transitioned to a job as an OB/GYN research coordinator...

...well as 12th grade Economics and Government for the past 3 years. I also have a strong background in Mathematics and have tutored several students as high as Algebra II. The reason I love tutoring is that I can individualize the learning for each person I tutor based on their needs and strengths. I do this by finding out how the people I am tutoring learn best and use that information to tailor the tutoring...
