...Binghamton for the past three years and Organic Chemistry for the past two. Additionally for two years, I served as a Teacher's Assistant for Organic Chemistry and was responsible for facilitating student group assignments. I taught the students general study skills and how to simplify intricate content so that they can improve their grades over time. I believe it is important to assess the needs of the student whether it is teaching them test-taking skills,...

...Medical Center. I specialize in tutoring for geometry, algebra, high school sciences, the SAT, and the MCAT. I am also an excellent writer and could tutor writing at almost any level. I am personable, I love teaching, and I am very adept at making complicated concepts accessible to students of all backgrounds and levels.

...have worked with diverse sets of students who have varied in age, grade level, and coursework. I began tutoring almost seven years ago working with disadvantaged students on mathematics.

I have a love for learning, and an appreciation for...

...I traveled to Buenos Aires, Argentina where I took part in an after school program focused on teaching pre-elementary and elementary kids Spanish and Math. Most recently, I tutored middle-school math to students at the Excel Academy Saturday program based in Chelsea, Massachusetts. In each instance I learned how to develop effective lesson plans and applied different teaching styles to cater to each student's needs. I believe that I can make a valuable contribution to...

...level through college. At the high school and college levels, I especially enjoy teaching any level of algebra. I think of math problems as interesting puzzles and I hope to impart that sense to my students. I also believe that there is too much emphasis on speed in calculation or solution. I like to emphasize the importance of logic and understanding rather than speed or rote memorization. I have found that students who never liked...

...the year after I graduated, I worked as an English instructor in South Korea. I am comfortable with a wide range of subjects, but I have a particular fondness for history and literature, and I am particularly experienced at helping students with their writing. I'm currently working my way through the required courses to apply to Medical School, and I'm excited to share my newfound passion for the sciences with younger students. I believe that...

It also comes from knowing that everyone learns at their own pace, and that everyone can learn any concept, if given the proper opportunity. Reliability reflects my ability to let my students know they can count on me to help them advance in their studies. It...

...settings and worked with students both in groups and individually. Obviously from my background, my strongest subjects are any science or math related subjects at any level. I tutor any science including biological sciences (biology, ecology, genetics, immunology, pathology, human anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, neuroscience and others), as well as other science courses including chemistry courses and physics courses, in addition to earth science. I also tutor math, including algebra, geometry and trigonometry. I can also...

...students. This experience inspired me to become a New York City substitute teacher and enroll in Teachers College, Columbia University. I graduated from Teachers College with a M.A. in Elementary Inclusive Education with a Gifted Extension and became a middle school math teacher. One of my instructional approaches that has resonated with both parents and students is to integrate students' lives into classroom content. As a result, students tend to become more engaged in active...

...and hopefully having a change to leave a positive impression. I enjoy meeting new people and hearing their story. If there is anything I can do to help them on their journey, it would be my pleasure. I grew up outside of Chicago, have travelled around the world, and snowboard as much as I can every winter. I've always been interested in medicine and that goal has always driven me to try my hardest and...

Last year, I worked as an English teacher in Tokyo. There, I cultivated a student-centered teaching style, where I serve as a guide for my students. I absolutely love to teach. I'm from Portland, Oregon, and in my free time, I love to read, write, and watch sports.

...see things from their perspective and to tailor what I was trying to teach to that perspective. That experience taught me that anyone can learn anything, provided that she or he takes the time to work through the material and has someone willing to re-phrase and clarify things in a way that makes sense. I'd like to help you learn whatever it is you need to know in order to become the person you want...

...I worked one-on-one with students who needed a little extra attention in certain subject areas. I am comfortable teaching a number of subjects at a number of different levels, but my absolute favorite subjects are Physics, Chemistry, Math and Biomedical Engineering. The basic sciences are always the most interesting because they govern the behavior of the world around us and it still amazes me how a few simple equations can apply to so many situations,...

I work with K-8 students developing skills, strategies, and knowledge that will help them become independent learners. My focus as a tutor is to help my students understand the concepts behind a skill. I believe that when you really understand how or why something works, you will never forget that skill. I...

...love teaching all subjects but teaching reading is my favorite. I love seeing students learn to truly enjoy reading and making it fun rather than a struggle. Through my variety of experiences, I have learned that through engaging and differentiated lessons, every student is able to make progress and most importantly- become inquisitive, lifelong earners. In my free time, I love to read, hike, play tennis, and spend time with friends and family.

...for the SAT may feel. As a tutor, I focus primarily on Math as that was always my strongest area of study. I scored above the 95th percentile on the Math section of the SAT. I have previous experience helping students to increase their performance on that area of the test. I enjoy helping students to understand topics where they have previously struggled. It is rewarding to see them finally grasp a topic that they...
