...in their classes. Initially, I found this difficult; it was a challenge determining exactly where a student's understanding of a topic was faulty. Over time, however, I developed a keener sense for the hurdles that students sometimes face when learning, as well as the most efficient ways to overcome them. I also developed more patience...

...BS, statistics, computer science, biology, and chemistry. At my university, I received an honors scholarship for my academic performance in engineering, and I currently aspire to continue my education at a higher level. As a tutor, I will motivate students, set clear goals, and help students progress towards a higher level of understanding.... I believe effective teaching requires the teacher to wear many hats. The teacher must act as a coach, showing their students how to...

Most of my experience in Computer Science comes from personal projects and my own curiosity. Learning new things is my favorite pastime, and I'd like to share that feeling with others as much as...

...SAT preparation, to college prep Math and Science courses, to introduction to programming and computer science classes. In addition, I have over 6 years of experience teaching swimming skills, as well as over 4 years as a CPR and Lifeguard instructor. I have experience working with students ranging from 2 years old to adults.

...learning in practical situations. For example, I have conducted research on dementia using electrophysiology in a mollusk model. I participate in hackathons and robotics challenges that test not only my programming ability but also my hardware skills as a tinkerer. My engineering pursuits require a strong foundation in mathematics, my interest in the life sciences...

...I consider myself a test guru, with a 770 GMAT and perfect scores my first tries on the SAT and PSAT. I enjoy tutoring because I love working with students and seeing other people reach their goals. I don't believe in memorizing facts and figures, but rather helping students learn that they can develop their...

...the effect that 1-on-1 time has on a student who is either struggling or just needs some focused study time.

...Computer Science and Math, in these subjects I immediately see the bigger picture, with the knowledge learned from them being able to apply to other subjects across the board. My teaching style is a 'Learn with the student' approach, breaking down problems to basic parts and building them up piece by piece, really understanding what and...

...in Java, Python, or C, electrical engineering topics like circuitry or programming, and mechanical physics. I really enjoy helping other people out because my motto is "ancora imparo," or "I am always learning." So if I can always learn something, I wish to help others learn and do better as well. My hobbies include exercise,...

...many frustrating years, I learned how to create a personal curriculum for myself, which in turn has taught me how to do the same for my students. I focus on conceptual understanding and pattern recognition in all of my sessions, rather than "tricks" or rote memorization. These skills require practice, but they are absolutely critical...

I am a University of Central Florida Computer Science student. I excel at mathematics and have done well in this subject since I was young. I am very excited to help others get through the hurdles that they face. Cannot wait to help students with their mathematical needs.... I believe that each student needs to be taught in their own way. My goal is to teach each student in the way that they feel most comfortable...
