...best. I am always open to help someone in need of help. I have helped friends and family increase their performance in math ever since I was in the 8th grade. I feel that any student can achieve anything if they are equipped with the correct tools and skills. I work well with others, and I can connect with almost anybody. I am a natural leader. I'm a great motivator, and I have given several...

...and I strive to instill a similar love in those with whom I interact. I enjoy both the puzzle aspects of STEM subjects and the ability the literary arts have to make me believe I am watching events unfold in another time and place. When I'm not learning, I enjoy working with my hands. I've built a variety of furniture, I care for a 2500 square foot garden, and I raise chickens. I have both...

...single one. For the past 7 years, I have tutored students from the elementary to the high school level. My goal for every student is to be thorough and efficient. I strive to help them understand what they need to know in a timely manner. I believe that every student is capable to understanding what they are learning if they are given individual attention. I am happy when I am able to help students comprehend...

...private lessons for students my age. Other parts of my life include playing sports (tennis, soccer, ping pong, basketball), jamming on the piano, and doing extracurriculars at school. I believe the most effective teachers are not those who know the most, but those who motivate their students to want to know it all. I like to keep the student as engaged and focused as possible in the work. From my personal experiences in high school...

...are at least 5 different ways to multiply and divide whole numbers? Do you know why the volume formula is V=Bh? Did you know that there are 4 ways to solve a proportion? Did you know that 'flip and multiply' is not the true mathematical way to divide fractions but instead is a 'trick'? Because I have taught kids at all grade levels and ability levels, I can teach you the same concept several different...

...I also spent a whole semester in a workshop on the personal essay, so I would take particular delight in working with you on a college essay, if that's why you are here. So if you are a student in need of a second set of hands to bail you out of a sinking rhetorical ship - Or perhaps a parent of a college-essay-less daughter, who is dangling over prepositional cliffs of no return -...

...students in Garland ISD from seventh graders to seniors in the AVID program, where we use the Socratic Method to tutor. I normally tutor math and science subjects but my favorite subject to tutor is geometry. To me, geometry is exciting and so much fun which I hope to transfer that same excitement to my all students about math. Outside of tutoring students, I am always on the volleyball court. Whether I am coaching or...

...styles and teaching techniques. Part of what makes me an excellent Tutor is my understanding of the fact that every student learns differently and that one must be patient while determining the best way to help a struggling student understand a difficult concept. While I am most passionate about Biology, I also tutor Middle School Math and Algebra. I hope to add more subjects as the school year progresses because I love helping students learn,...

...often a dreaded one. It gives me immense satisfaction to see students come out and overcome their dislike of the subject and start enjoying it.I have always felt that having knowledge is a different thing and imparting it is essential to the learning process.I think I have that ability to impart it in a manner so that it is easily understandable.I hope to reach more and more children in need and help them enjoy the...

...what come most naturally to me and therefore I believe I am more effective teaching them. I strive to help students understand the material so that they can call upon it again if they need to. I am interested in not only teaching the information, but also good study habits and routines. I have benefitted from having excellent teachers all of my life and I believe that I can help others just as much.

...chapter, and many more. Recently I have used my involvement in my new startup promotion company, Bass Brian Events, to explore my top interest of being involved on the business side of the music industry. I have always been one to follow my interests and take advantage of even the smallest opportunities, a combination of attributes that continues to put me in optimum positioning for being involved in the things I am passionate about.... I believe...

...students help each other on any area of any subject. Particularly, I've learned to pick up when someone actually knows the subject and when they don't as well. If there are any doubts/misconceptions on any area, I can easily clarify them with real life examples that can help the development of the learning process. Most of the time this makes it much easier and interactive! I work very hard to get the job done, and...

...experience in community development, retail merchandising and education. I served in the Air Force National Guard for 10 years and gained the rank of SSgt. I have had the opportunity to work with a diverse group of students during my teaching tenure. I worked as a tutor at a private school where my primary focus dealt with reading, math and writing. Recently, I taught developmental writing at Eastfield College. My teaching and tutoring experience has...

I have a B.S. in Education and Animal Science/Biotechnology with a Master of Education. I have been working with children since I was a downhill ski instructor in Minnesota during high school. I believe in multiple teaching styles because each student learns differently and requires various tools to be successful in the classroom. All students have the potential to be great, and its my job to help them to reach their goals!

Although I spend my days teaching in a classroom, I love moonlighting at a tutor because of the individualized attention that my students receive. I bring several years of classroom experience to the table, as well as a teaching credential from the University of Oxford and a BA from Northwestern University. While my classroom experience is in English/reading and history, my tutoring experience has been in everything from math to foreign languages. ... In short, I...

...Math can be difficult for many, but I try to make it enjoyable. In my experience as a tutor I have found that the most rewarding aspect is seeing students succeed. When a struggling student completely understands the subject they were having trouble with it is very rewarding to see them excel. I believe in starting with the basics and adding material to the sections that are most familiar to the student. When I am...

...the spring of 2015, I will teach an undergraduate course in developmental psychology at Texas Woman's University. I have also previously tutored with several different organizations and have worked with students with learning differences: The Shelton School (lower elementary students reading and writing tutoring) and the UT Learning Center (as a peer educator for college students needing test prep and study strategies). Outside of teaching and tutoring, I spend a great deal of my free...

...Sciences with minors in Physics and Math at Trinity University. While at Trinity, I tutored classmates in Physics and Math. Word got around that I was pretty good and I was referred to friends and families in the area. After undergrad, I attended graduate school at Duke University where I continued to tutor as a university employee working with student-athletes. Now I'm employed as an engineer in Fort Worth and I'd love to teach again...

...believe every student has the potential to learn and that the teaching/learning relationship requires 100% effort from the teacher and student. Because each student learns differently, it's important for educators to quickly learn their students' learning styles so they can adapt the material and the approach to best meet the students' needs. I teach with care and patience. The best part of teaching is helping a student to independently solve problems. I will work with...

...of education and work, I enjoy sailing, which I have both participated in and coached most of my life. I walked on to the Harvard varsity team my freshmen year and ended up racing at nationals a couple years later. Athletics were a huge part of my college experience so I know how hard but important balancing academics with athletics can be. This caused me to be very organized and disciplined with my study habits,...
