...Science Center. I also have several years of tutoring experience with middle school students on individualized education plans. I developed a passion for science and mathematics while at college. One instructor in particular fostered this passion by setting high expectations, providing every tool necessary for us to succeed, and sharing his own enthusiasm for the subject. I like to emulate this strategy with my own students leaving them excited and empowered to achieve their goals....

...school. I firmly believe that every student can succeed in a subject if they invest enough time into learning it and if the concepts are explained to them well. When I am working with a new student I try to figure out what kinds of explanations reach them the best and incorporate those into my lesson plans. I most enjoy students who are motivated and willing to put in the effort to master what they...

...experiences in many subjects, but my strengths lie in mathematics, science, and ACT test prep areas. Having struggled myself the first time I took standardized tests, I understand that even with a solid knowledge foundation tests like the ACT require a substantial amount of exam specific preparation. While my engineering background provides me the opportunity to tutor more advanced math, science, and engineering subjects, I enjoy helping students of all ages and ability levels learn....

...in demand. My favorite subjects to teach are calculus and physics. With calculus, there's very little memorization when you understand the fundamentals of limits. Also, there are several ways to approach the material: graphically for those more visual, theoretical for those that like equations, and plug-and-chug for those that prefer processes. Physics is great because same relationships that occur in your everyday experience also occur in space between planets and in atoms between particles.

...to watch them learn and grow as students. I am currently tutoring a student in ESL. This is my first time working in this subject area but it is a positive and fulfilling experience. I like to equate my teaching style with that of the old saying, if at first you don't succeed try try again. I encourage students to keep playing with different studying strategies to find one that works the best for him...

...way, I took College Algebra...and loved it. I mean that I fell IN LOVE with math. Instead of viewing it as a chore, I began to delve deeper into the meaning of the numbers, variables, and symbols, and had the desire to find out more on my own. But it did not come easily. I had to work for hours every evening, rewrite my notes, copy proofs in the text, find other texts with different...

...in American and World History, Political Science, Governmental Studies, and all of these involved lots of writing. My time in graduate school sharpened my writing and critical analysis skills, which I find quite valuable. I also have experience with some Math courses, it just depends on the course. Outside of the classroom you will often find me playing or watching soccer, or traveling to some country whose language I don't know. As a recent graduate...

...broad range of subjectsthe arts and humanities, the social and 'hard' sciences, history and languageshows how much they intertwine and reinforce each other. All scienceall knowledgeis 'one'.

...and again that the human brain works like a muscle: the more you practice lifting heavy concepts, the stronger your understanding of even the most difficult subjects becomes. This means that with enough dedicated effort, and support from effective educators, anybody can learn anything. My tutoring style is to ask leading questions and offer hints to help my students make their own connections between what they already know and the new material they're tackling. I've...

...completed a CELTA certificate in ESL teaching, and worked as a one-to-one ESL instructor in Paris for three years, teaching students of every age and level (as well as improving my French, while still speak on a daily basis among my family). While I am passionate about literature, I receive the most personal satisfaction as a tutor by helping students to develop their critical thinking and self-expression through writing.

...firm believer in the idea that learning should be fun - never a chore - and I try to bring that to every student I work with. I also acknowledge that each student is unique, with their own struggles and learning styles, and my teaching style is adaptable to fit those needs.

...rest of the population. Throughout, I have maintained a steady and patient demeanor that puts students at ease.

I like working with middle and high school students mostly because they get my humor by that...

...one of the greatest advantages humans have. As a prospective medical student, I know what it is like to sometimes not fully understand a concept or subject. As a student who at first struggled to learn some of the toughest material, I learned from mistakes and shortcomings how to effectively learn and understand any concept. I love to teach people how to tackle a problem, how to truly grasp an idea for a strong foundation,...

...In my spare time I read voraciously. I recently finished “If Beale Street Could Talk” by James Baldwin and prior to that I read “The Unbearable Lightness of Being” by Milan Kundera. I also enjoy exercising, knitting and spending quality time with my Netflix account. This July I will be starting my second year with City Year as a Team Leader.
