Nicolas

ACT English Tutor • +29 Subjects

I completed my high school education at Walter Payton College Prep and just finished freshman year at Harvard. I have always had a passion for both learning and working with others. I have never been afraid of asking others for help on homework or classwork and have been eager to help classmates seeking help.I first got exposure to tutoring as a volunteer in the LIT program, a program designed to help under-privileged kids catch up in reading and writing. On top of being a part-time tutor, I have experience helping kids working as a camp counselor at Fred's Camp and Camp Chicago as well as taking on babysitting jobs around my neighborhood.In my experience as a tutor, the most important thing I realized was that there isn't a cookie cutter way of teaching any subject to any student. Each student is different, and I pay attention to their learning style and adjust accordingly. I strive to not only make sure students can solve each problem but that they thoroughly comprehend the concept as well. After finding the weak points in their understanding, I introduce problems and ask questions that specifically target those areas.I look forward to meeting you and working with you to reach your academic goals!

Chris

AP Comparative Government and Politics Tutor • +23 Subjects

I am a graduate of Fordham University where I earned a Bachelor's degree with a major in History. In particular, I focused my energies on the study of American History. I have tutored as a part of the National Honor Society on topics such as AP Literature, AP American History, AP American Government, and the SAT. I am incredibly passionate about History and Literature and could easily discuss these topics for hours on end. I truly believe that history is fascinating, interesting, and wholly deserving of our attention. I hope I can share this passion and create tutoring sessions that are as engaging as they are informative. With my free time I enjoy reading, especially science fiction, and also exercise regularly, but admit a certain weakness for video games and good TV.

Oladele

Algebra Tutor • +28 Subjects

I am a Brown University senior graduating this May with a bachelors of science in neuroscience. For the past year and a half I have spent numerous hours as a volunteer for Let's Get Ready, a SAT and college prep program. I began my involvement in this organization purely on a whim, in order to give back to the community around me. I quickly discovered my passion for teaching, however, and began serving as the head math coach within a few short months. Teaching has allowed me to take part in the development of future intellects. To this purpose, I teach only mathematics and science, as those are my personal favorite subjects. I also focus on improving one's ability to think through a problem, as opposed to learning simply by base memorization. I do this because when a student's focus is solely on memorization, they often quickly forget the material due to time or stress. However, the skills one gains from learning how to think through problems are much more stable and flexible. This flexibility allows for those skills to be used in multiple subjects, and towards more advanced learning.Now, a little about me. In the future, I plan to go to medical school and become a general surgeon, due to the growing need in our current healthcare system. I enjoy drawing, salsa dancing, and bachata dancing. I'm also the self-proclaimed FIFA king of my university, and will defend my title at any non-working moment. All being said, I hope to see you in my classroom as we work together towards & beyond your goals.

Algebra Tutor • +25 Subjects

I received a Bachelor of Science degree from Arizona State University as a Health Sciences major. While at ASU I had the opportunity to work at the Downtown Student Success Center for two years as a supplemental instructor. Most of my students were pre-med or studying to become nurses. My favorite subject to teach was Anatomy/Physiology, but I also enjoyed most math and sciences courses especially General and Organic Chemistry. In my spare time, I enjoy competing in all types of sports, reading a good book and taking a ride on my motorcycle.

I will help you reach your math goals! I am a former Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry teacher. I also have experience tutoring middle school and elementary school students. I earned my undergraduate degree in Economics from Brown University, and my Masters in Education from Loyola Marymount University.

As a tutor, I believe in learning about my student and his or her needs first, listening to my students goals, setting collective goals, and emphasizing growth (growth WILL HAPPEN!). I stay patient and provide specific steps for concepts. I am clear in my responses, I ask questions, I check for understanding, and I remain encouraging!

DEGREE:I majored in Business Administration. The courses included: Introduction to Business, Business Communications, Written Communication Skills, English Composition, Advanced Composition (Scientific/Technical), Fundamentals of Speech, Principles of Accounting I and II, Business Math, Business Law, Macroeconomics and Microeconomics, Ethics, Statistics, etc.COUNTRIES TRAVELED TO:The first time I traveled out of the U.S., I went to Asia for 2 weeks. I visited China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan. In 2012/2013, I returned to Taiwan for 10 months. At that time, I studied Chinese at National Taiwan Normal Universitys Mandarin Training Center. Since I had some time before my classes at the Mandarin Training Center began, I traveled first to Hong Kong for 10 days, then to Guilin, China for 3 days. Most of my traveling has been in Asia, and I lived in Taiwan for about 3-1/2 years. In 2013, I went to Vietnam for 2 weeks. I traveled with a group of Vietnamese and Taiwanese friends from the north to the south of Vietnam. In 2005, I took a cruise from Florida, U.S.A. to Mexico, Jamaica and The Grand Cayman Islands. Twice, I have traveled to the Philippines including a recent vacation on Boracay Island. I enjoy exploring other countries with the local residents whenever possible. It's a good way to get away from the tourist traps.TEACHING EXPERIENCE:For nearly 2-1/2 years, I taught English 1 on 1 to business professionals in Taiwan. The focus was helping them perform their jobs more efficiently in the global economy. I also had a few students whom I helped for study aborad using the IELTS method. As part of a training exercise, I also taught two 2-hour long Business English courses. I have 32 hours of teaching experience in an elementary school. I taught 9 different levels of English to children from Kindergarten through 7th grade. Generally speaking, I am confident and relaxed in the teaching environment. I am also open to learning from more experienced teachers than myself.WORKS PUBLISHED:Casualties of War is a short story relating the experiences of two young men, who were sent to fight in the Vietnam War. They both returned, but the effects on their lives were tragic.PREFERRED MAGAZINES/BOOKS:The Watchtower and Awake magazines are my most frequently read magazines. The Watchtower discusses Bible topics in detail. The Awake reports on world news, as well as, human interest topics. Just for fun, I also like to read The No. 1 Ladies' Detective agency by Alexander McCall Smith. He is a Scottish author, but the story is set in Botswana, Africa. I enjoy the witty humor. Of course, I also read articles related to businesses from such magazines as Harvard Business Review, The New York Times, The Washington Post, etc.

I am a current student at Georgia Tech. My major is Computer Science. As a second year in college, I have confidence in better connecting with young students. My teaching philosophy is "slowly but surely." I am very patient and do not want to pressure students to move at a fast pace. Whatever pace the student may wish to take, I will follow it and do my best for the student to understand the content.
