Leah ...me from hating math to enjoying and succeeding in it. I want to help others make that same transition--a bad teacher or tough class can crush a student's innate curiosity, but a good tutor can restore it. I currently tutor students in the social and biological sciences (elementary school through college level), reading and writing, and in standardized test preparation. I am also an avid debater, and coach debate at a high school in Providence,...

Shannon I believe that all students have the potential to be successful, some just have different ways of getting there. I'm finishing my 5th year teaching special education. I have taught in a high school, middle school and elementary school. I love teaching and I love the opportunity to help students learn. Outside of teaching, I enjoy spending time with my husband and son, reading, sewing and crocheting.... My teaching philosophy is that every student can learn- I may just need to figure out the best way to teach.

Jeff ...might struggle. With new students, I assess their initial basic knowledge so that together we can map where each student needs to go. This approach results in a plan that caters to each student's distinctive learning style. When not teaching, I love to get out of the city and into the outdoors. You can often find me camping in the mountains, fishing the lakes of the central Oregon Cascades or hiking the trails of the...

William ...at Chapel Hill (Highest Honors and Distinction). Since then, I have designed and taught many advanced undergraduate courses at the University of Arizona from the ground up, but my teaching abilities are strong in a one-on-one setting.

As a high school and...

I can tutor American History, English, Philosophy, Social Sciences, Government, Geography, and Essay Writing.

Any student can excel and it is my teaching philosophy that a Teacher or Tutor should adapt to the needs of...

Jay ...NJ campus. I tutored students throughout college and high school, working with elementary-secondary students, students with learning disabilities, and ESL adult learners. While I have tutored a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about History, German, and English.
