I try to encourage my students to have an appreciation for their education as it is a privilege they have and millions of others do not. I want to inspire them to try their best in all of their academics and to help them feel...

...the subject. My teaching style is based around first explaining where the relevant topics come from as sufficiently as possible, how and why certain techniques work, and applying all of this to specific examples of varying difficulty. I emphasize gaining an understanding as to why skills and techniques work and how they are useful. This emphasis makes it easier for students to tackle novel problems and retain their knowledge. For physics I tutor in basic...

...(ESL). At Oberlin, I received training in the Organic World Languages method of teaching languages, which focuses on student production, and making meaningful language in context instead of memorizing. I find applying this framework is useful for teaching and tutoring both Spanish and English. I gained fluency in Spanish during my semester studying at a university in Chile, and have taught Spanish to elementary students and I tutored college students. I have worked with both...

...anything besides math because I am confident with it, and it appeals to my meticulous nature. My personality is quirky as is my tutoring. I pride myself on being energetic and enthusiastic as a tutor. I understand math is often much more than a pain, so I try to keep things fun, while making sure it really sinks in. At the moment I am an apprentice in a cabinet shop with hopes of ultimately becoming...

...into smaller chunks, and work through these smaller bits to understand the big picture. I know how frustrating it is to not understand something, and I try to work with each student to figure out their strengths and weaknesses. I think the most rewarding thing is when you see the student go "aha!" and understand something they have been struggling with, it really gives both of you a feeling of satisfaction and relief. Outside of...

...tutor in college for mostly college-aged students, but have also worked with younger students in the past. Currently tutoring in SAT preparation, AP English Lit, Geometry, English, Russian, and others listed. I understand that every students works best at their own pace and in their own way, and try to incorporate that philosophy into my tutoring sessions. Favorite course to tutor would most likely be Russian. I'm very interested in the language and culture, and...

...a program through our school's Upward Bound initiative. I tutor a group of students in AP Calculus, AP Chemistry, as well as college prep. I want to be able to teach you the information, not just walk you through problems. My approach may take longer, but I promise it is worth every second to truly understand a topic. My favorite subjects to tutor are Calculus and Algebra. I have been working with and using Calculus...

...of student teaching and over one hundred hours of in-classroom participation and observations. I enjoy tutoring students in all subjects of math. My tutoring approach is to guide the students to the solution of each problem. I seek to develop the student's knowledge of the subject by building connections between what the student knows and what they have yet to learn. I am adamant that any student can be successful academically with the right support...

...in first reviewing basic concepts to assess and address where they are having difficulty, followed by continuous problem-solving to reinforce the concepts and strategies until they become second nature. Like the subjects that I teach, I believe that education is an ongoing and ever-growing component that is necessary for a happy and fulfilling life, and that there is always something new to learn each and every day. In my spare time, I like to exercise,...

...along with Psychology and Spanish. I worked for a little while at a Boys and Girls Club and then at a hospital in Atlanta before moving to Boston for graduate school. I got my MPH at Tufts and began medical school at Tufts as well before deciding to take some time away from school to reevaluate my career goals and to enjoy myself a bit! I love spending time with my dogs, playing various sports,...

...I worked as a medical scribe and I am currently applying to medical schools. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing guitar and watching movies. Previously, I have tutored students of all ages in various subjects, with an emphasis in math and SAT. As a tutor, I believe that students learn best through solving problems. By guiding students through various problems, I will help them learn how to apply their knowledge to solve complex...

...and guiding them to academic success, either in or outside of the classroom. I have experience as a classroom teacher and a private tutor, in subjects that range from Reading and Writing to History and French. In my opinion, the path to obtaining a good education is formed by hard work, diligence, persistence, and an open mind. I work on a daily basis to instill these qualities in my students and tutees. I also believe...

I'm a first-year medical student and recent graduate from Duke University, where I studied Global Health Determinants, Behaviors, and Interventions. From running a piano program at a nonprofit children's theatre to private tutoring in math, science, and standardized test prep, I enjoy helping my students become confident and self-sufficient learners!

I am a undergraduate student studying Robotics Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. I live in Portland, Oregon in the summer but right now I'm in Worcester, Massachusetts. I love working with students and teaching math!... I like to establish a personal connection with students before teaching so they are more willing to work with me and learn.

...about a year, but am originally from Orlando, Florida. I resided in Gainesville, Florida while I was getting my degree in Nutritional Science at the University of Florida. After graduating, I moved to Austin, Texas and completed a year of AmeriCorps. As an AmeriCorps member I was responsible for leading an after school science program, an opportunity that allowed me to create hands-on creative lessons and gain more experience tutoring and teaching. I tutored as...

I have been tutoring students for 6+ years in all academic and organizational areas. I am patient, kind, understanding, and willing to take the time that each student needs to understand a concept. I understand school work does not come naturally for everyone,...

...an Instructor for Seven Hills Foundation. I have a straight-forward teaching philosophy which applies to each student as an individual learner. This helps to identify and clarify misunderstandings in the process rather than stumbling over information. I am able to teach in English and Writing, as well as across most maths and sciences, including Organic/Inorganic Chemistry, Biology, Statistics, Algebra, and Calculus. I strongly believe in lifelong learning, and try to practice that philosophy daily. My...

...cornerstone of our nation and our future, and if students are struggling, they absolutely deserve the help that a tutor can give them. I do not believe in teaching directly towards standardized tests; rather, I believe in giving students abilities that they can use not only to get high scores, but to help them develop stronger, more well-rounded skill sets. Things like grammar or writing skills are useful in any field, and I would love...

...of hard work and fun is my standard for life and for teaching. I like to help students use their strengths to help balance and improve weaknesses. As a previously anxious test-taker myself, I know firsthand how challenging standardized testing can be, but I can share valuable strategies to help a student reach his or her full potential. In my spare time, I enjoy playing the cello and singing, hiking, kayaking, cooking, and practicing American...
