...in a way that makes sense to them. My tutoring philosophy revolves around the Socratic method: namely, I try to help the student discover the subject for themselves versus me simply giving them the answers. I believe that (guided) personal discovery leads not only to greater understanding, but greater knowledge retention as well. Additionally, as someone who played Division III basketball in college, I have also been doing private basketball lessons where many of the...

...working with people the most. As a doctor I would be interested in pursuing clinical trials as a way to further medical research while remaining involved in patient care. I work with an expert on schizophrenia to map the epigenetics involved in schizophrenia onset. The application of Dr. William Walsh's research, using nutrients like zinc, SAMe, or vitamins to improve mental illnesses is inspiring. I enjoy being able to improve the lives of people, and I...

...to deal with the complexities that often accompanies adolescence. To my surprise, I loved it. Not only was this an opportunity to review all the material I had previously learned, tutoring allows me to elucidate the concepts in a manner tailored specific to the student which also improves my understanding of the topic and my method of communicating it. I worked closely with both the parent and the child to address their concerns to meet,...

...the gap that can form between teachers and students first hand. Combining a relational teaching style, and a strong value of education, I believe that the unique needs of every student deserve consideration and that it is the role of the tutor to find the perfect way to teach. It is my personal wish that if a student has a special need, I can fulfill it through flexibility, kindness, and optimistic determination.... The strongest teachers I...

...in chemistry. Having gone to small schools my whole life, I believe in the power of small group/individual interactions for learning. While memorization is important for certain things, I always appreciated understanding the "why" and "how" in school and I try to help my students achieve that level of understanding as well. I prefer to guide students through their problems to help them learn the skills needed for their classes in the future, though I...

...career in Anesthesiology. In college I was a chemistry and biology major and had the opportunity to tutor chemistry. What I enjoy most about tutoring is helping students realize their potential. Each student's learning style is unique and I am excited to help facilitate you with the tutoring process. Whether it be preparing for an upcoming exam or learning a new subject for fun, I feel that with realistic goals and diligence, great outcomes are...

...to tutor most subjects in both math and science. I most enjoy teaching calculus and physics because I find it beautiful how well they integrate with and play off of each other. Calculus is the language that describes physics, and a large part of physics is calculus applied to the world. I like to begin engaging with students by seeing what stumbling blocks they are facing educationally and then finding ways to communicate and work...

...living learning communities while at U of I in college Physics, Chemistry, and German. I also volunteer at a local high school in all levels of the German classes as sometimes a pull out and after school tutor. I am a very passionate person, and one of my major passions is school and I want to spread that passion around and get people as excited for school as they were when they were younger. The most...

...student in order to make the most of our time together. While I am not being a tutor, I am a musician. In addition to singing, I play the violin and viola and dabble in everything from Bach to bluegrass to covers of pop songs. As an opera singer, I have studied Spanish, Italian, French and German and am accordingly fascinated by the etymology of words in my own cobbled-together language. I also have a...

...onerous chore. Call me an idealist, but I think learning should be fun! Though I keep the tone of my sessions light, I do expect my students to put in the effort necessary to achieve their goals. With my guidance, my support, and their hard work, I am confident that I can help my students find success. When I'm not tutoring I keep myself busy with many other things. I love theatre, and I have...

...to observe what you learn all around you everyday and my passion allows me to shed light on the subject in a different way that relates to students' life. I was a student athlete pretty much my entire life playing football, basketball, baseball or more extravagant surfing, rock climbing, snorkeling, attempting a triathlon. I know that we need an escape sometime from the books so I tend to gravitate to my guitar or the kitchen...

...Chemistry, Biology and Physics. While at Northwestern University, I’ve also served as a Teaching Assistant for Environmental Chemistry laboratory courses. The combination of these experiences has helped shape my teaching philosophy, that focus should be put on challenging a student’s analytical and problem solving skills. I believe that it is important to guide students through their own learning and discovery process so that they can build confidence and excel in any subject where they apply...

...and Spanish, as I find them to be the most engaging, but I enjoy and can help with nearly all content areas. When I was in school, I was (and still am!) a self-described "nerd" who really enjoyed expanding my knowledge base and taking on academic challenges. I hope to impart the idea that tackling new concepts can be fun and rewarding at the same time. Additionally, as a generally "good test taker," I enjoy...

...tests can truly bolster a student???s application for undergraduate or graduate education, and I truly enjoy helping him or her achieve their best. I am also passionate about tutoring Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Calculus. My teaching style is not set in stone; I understand that everyone learns differently and will try to find a learning method that will suit the student. Next year, I will begin my pursuit of a PhD in Biological Engineering, and...

I am from Chicago Illinois. Currently a first year medical student at the University of Illinois College of Medicine. I started to tutor from my sophomore year of college and I love it! I find it beautiful how the student and I both grow from learning. Learning should be a fun and interactive experience.
