...their studies, a solid conceptual core will be necessary for further learning. It is my goal to help my students to establish this core. As a student myself, I understand how frustrating school and standardized testing can sometimes be. My own experiences inform my style of teaching as well as the strategies and tips that I provide. Please check out my credentials and reach out if you would like to talk more about me being...

...would get confused which is why I think it is necessary to reach out and ask the child how they are doing. I tend to gravitate more towards tutoring in math because of the ease I had with it when I was in middle and high school but am still more than willing to tutor humanities based subjects. Outside of academia, I like to draw, paint, creatively write, and volunteer at animal shelters.... My philosophy regarding...

...local hospice facilities and at HUP (Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania), and doing research at the Cleveland Clinic. I have also tutored abroad in Korea in standardized test prep like SAT, MCAT, and SAT II. In my free time, I enjoy dancing and cooking, as well as running cross country.

I am a sophomore at Rice University and intending to major in Bioengineering with a minor in Global Health Technologies. I am also planning on going to med school. My favorite subject to teach is math and editing essays is forte of mine as well. I do my very best to help all of my students. ... I'd start off by asking what the student is interested in, in both subject and extracurricular. Then, I'd ask...

...it was crucial in helping me develop an Ivy League-caliber course load before I applied to college. A tutor helped me pass an entrance exam I had initially failed to gain acceptance to the right level of high school mathematics. I hope to pass this forward and help other students realize the kind of success I have experienced. Ultimately, I see myself in academia, and working for Varsity Tutors is an experience I am using...

Emerson said that the secret of education is respecting the student. I have the greatest respect for that part of the human spirit that is curious and wants to learn. I find that if students feel they are listened to and heard, this allows them to feel encouraged. When they begin to understand that learning can be fun, the whole process becomes exciting and joyful. We are all curious and like to learn.

...tutoring experience. I have current teaching licenses in both Ohio and Maryland for grades 7-12 mathematics, although I am eager to expand my tutoring horizons! I have helped students succeed in math from Algebra 1 through Calculus, though I would be ready and willing to work on subjects from pre-algebra through Calculus 3 (and a bit beyond). I have also helped students preparing for the SAT, ACT, LSAT, and other standardized tests, and have tutored...

...and enjoy working with students, primarily in math and science. My favorite subject is physics because it combines science with math and is actually applicable to real life. My learning philosophy is to just do practice problems. The more practice, the easier each problem will be. Somebody can spend all day just studying notes, but he or she will learn best by just doing practice problems. Outside of school, I own a website design business...

...and Geography. Of these subjects, there's nothing I like more than tutoring history. Schools frequently give this subject short shrift, and helping students understand the reasons and context for why history has unfolded the way it has is deeply rewarding. I grew up in an educational tradition that focused on the student and saw the teacher as a facilitator who helps students cultivate knowledge. The teacher (or tutor) is a guide, but much of that...

I've taught kindergarten, 1st grade, and K-4 Reading Intervention. After those five years, I was fortunate enough to be able to stay at home upon the birth of my son. While staying at home with him, I earned my Yoga Teacher Training certification. Currently, I am a yoga instructor,...

...is a great joy for me, and I find it inspirational to learn from students. I've tutored many subjects, and am certified to teach English as a second language. My favorite teaching experience was working as a TA in a college anthropology course, working with largely first-year students still adjusting to their new lives. I received my BA from New York University, majoring in anthropology and journalism. I currently work in an anthropology lab at...

...him/her create a comic strip based off of what we just read in Macbeth. I also differentiate my instruction based on student's level of understanding. Rather than starting off with hard questions that may frustrate a student, I give basic, comprehension questions until the student is more familiar with the material. I work one-on-one with students, in small groups or as a whole class. I am always available to students for extra help when needed,...

...to help you or your student improve in a subject area, but also to teach study habits, provide encouragement, and work as a role model for becoming a lifelong learner.

Hello! My name is Hope Paul and I am a current graduate student. My experience includes tutoring one on one and in groups! I am passionate about all of my tutoring subjects, and would love to help you! My favorite method of teaching is the 3-time rule. To help you better remember an idea or subject, there is science behind going over the material three times! I look forward to meeting you!

...develop critical insight into the creative writing process. My goal is to empower. I emphasize critical thinking, creativity of thought, collaboration, and communication. I feel that the student-peer-mentor relationship is extremely important to personal development, so I will craft opportunities for the students and instructor to interact through open dialogue. I've found that through the process of discourse students become open to different ideas, which enhance their own creative pursuits I've taught in groups and...
