...experienced teacher who taught at a private Christian school for 25 years. I tutored students during the school year and the summer. I love working with children.

I like to build a relationship with each student and find out what type of learner he/she is and use methods which will help a child succeed. I believe that a student is...

...my favorite subjects, with physics being one of my most favorite. When I'm coaching a student, I believe in a very tailored approach which encourages and strengthens the knowledge and skills that a student has and then adds the information that is needed to succeed. Rote memorization is not my strong suit, I believe in really understanding the underlying organizing principles. In my other job I design houses, and when I'm not doing that I...

Every year the knowledge base of the world increases dramatically. More than just adding to the cumulative knowledge of the past, some would say that information is increasing at an exponential rate. Currently, students are being asked to absorb this information; often without a proper structure or guidance as to how this can be accomplished. Having already made this journey myself, I am very excited to join Varsity Tutors and to help motivated students in...

...for teaching and mentoring, regardless of the subject. I grew up in poverty, but through hard work and the motivation of mentors and teachers, I overcame my circumstances. Because I myself know the cost of improving oneself and of overcoming one's circumstances, I expect nothing but hard work, determination, persistence, and a positive attitude. I'm not an unfair person. I don't expect for you to do all the work alone. I will learn whatever material...

...teaching skill that I am most proud to offer as a tutor is my ability to connect with a student and make him or her comfortable enough to begin to want to learn a concept. I have a lot of strategies in my tool box and I am quite good at knowing which tool to use in a given situation. I am able to guide students to think critically and come to conclusions by following...

...a switch from my younger years. However, physics was the start of my passion for mathematics, and I hope share this sense of awe with you, or anyone I am teaching/assisting. I have been fortunate to have been given the opportunity to teach a calculus class, for two years, and every part of it has been rewarding. And for the past two consecutive summers the University of Arizona has given me the chance to connect...

For almost three years in college I tutored hundreds of students in any subject that had anything to do with Mechanical Engineering. I have experience tutoring students with extremely different learning styles and I've learned to adapt to each in turn. I graduated in 2012 with a 4.0 in Mechanical Engineering from ASU and currently work full time, but I miss tutoring. So I'm back at it. My favorite subjects to tutor are Physics 1...

Many of my students...

...and 20 students). The small class sizes allowed me to learn to teach with hands-on methods as well as lecture-style methods, many times in a one-on-one setting. I love to teach, plain and simple. To witness a student truly understand a concept is very rewarding for both the student and the teacher. They say knowledge is power. Then to understand the universe (even just a small fraction of it) is power, indeed. SCIENCE!!!

...activity, music, and watching movies. I regularly lift weights, run, bike ride, as well as play music on my guitar. Even though all of these different things keep me busy,I still plan on going further in my education. It is my belief that you should never stop learning because there are so many great and wonderful things in this world and in learning about them you can learn a little more about yourself.

...focus on Applied Behavior Analysis. Once I earned my Master's degree, I resigned from teaching in public school and now work with children with autism 1:1 in their home and community (including school). Even though I have experience in all subject areas, I am most passionate about math, reading and writing up to the 6h grade level. Though I do not work specifically for schools anymore, I am still passionate about education. I believe everyone...

In my spare time, I enjoy competing in all types of sports, reading a good book and taking a ride on...

...Institute of Industrial Engineers during my years in college, and have worked in an elementary school environment where my duties as a technology coordinator occasionally required me to instruct students. For me, the biggest thrill in any job is visibly seeing that "light bulb moment" as someone crosses the boundary between confusion and understanding. Thank you for taking the time to consider me for your tutor, and I'm hoping to hear from you soon!
