...voice. My tutoring style is very interactive and cooperative, where I allow the student to walk me through their thinking process as I share with them tricks, tips, and mnemonics. I often refer to the quote of "teaching a person how to fish" rather than just giving them the fish. I am very flexible as far as scheduling and availability, I am reliable and punctual, and I am resourceful. In my free time, I love...

One of the things I love and find most rewarding about tutoring is the "Aha!" moment; that moment when it finally clicks for my students is the most exciting part of tutoring for me. I've grown up very academically driven, I was top ten in my class and was the STAR student of my school. I enjoy helping other students while keeping my own skills sharp as I'm preparing to apply for pharmacy school.

...and education are very valuable tools in life so I see tutoring as a gratifying duty of mine to help others learn material with which they are having difficulty.

...four years of one on one and group tutoring experience in a majority of Math based subjects. I have worked with high school and college level students in Algebra, Geometry, Calculus and Statistics. I like to use a three part tutoring method that 1) determines what the student does not understand, 2) walks step by step through example problems and 3) requires the student to show me that a problem can be completed independently.

...past 6 years of teaching high school math, I have learned many ways to present a variety of information. I have tutored one-on-one for 3 of those 6 years, and enjoy the experience of working individually with students and seeing their progress in the classroom. Making math enjoyable by relating the subject to students' everyday lives is something that I strive to do with both the students I teach and those that I tutor.

I like to make math 'real' for students because it's the...
