...the humanities while also completing my high school education. After graduating I began my undergraduate education at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, Massachusetts, recently ranked by US News as the number one university in the country. At MIT I am pursuing a degree in mathematics. During this time I have acquired great experience in tutoring and teaching. I have a total of 8 years of experience tutoring mathematics, particularly calculus. I also...

...years of previous experience with junior high, high school, and collegiate students I have learned how to adjust to all student types and focus my attention on their specific learning styles.

My most comfortable mathematics and science subjects are Algebra, Trigonometry, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, Biology, Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Genetics, AP Chemistry, and AP Biology. Knowing...

...AP Statistics. Being a teacher was actually the 3rd act of my unusual life. Before that, I was in the Navy for almost 11 years, then I moved to a hippie commune in Oregon for 8 years. Quite a change: clearly I have a drive for adventure. My biggest hobby is quilting. Lots of geometry, combined with lots of creativity; and the bonus is that you can sleep under something cozy at the end of...

...students are often surprised at how easy their least favorite subjects have become! I have previously tutored and led study sessions in a variety of subjects. I also grew up with two younger twin brothers who I've been tutoring and helping with homework for most of my life. In tutoring, my strategy is to determine the learning style of the student and to reinforce knowledge and understanding in a way that best compliments the learning...

...breaking down mathematical topics to a very basic level and then using that base to build on as I help my students learn. There are many ways to figure out a math problem and I try my very best to use all those methods while tutoring to see which works best for my students. I am also an outdoors person, therefore, I love to connect topics to nature and all that we see around us....

...life, I embarked on a journey to reach the goals that I had in mind. As a result of that experience, I can really empathize with students who are struggling in school and do not know whom to turn to for help. My forte has always been mathematics, so I would like to help as many students as possible and let each one know that he or she can have a taste of success.... Teaching and learning can take place when both parties feel safe and supported. Knowing what the learning goals are can help the tutor determine the best course of action to take to help you achieve them.

...students individually in genetics, cell biology, and biochemistry. I also competed on my college’s varsity swim team. Since graduating, I have worked as a full-time research specialist in a cancer biology lab at the University of Pennsylvania and part-time as a lifeguard and swim instructor at the UPenn pool. I am starting medical school this fall. Clearly I am passionate about science, and I think a huge part of that comes from a general love...

...of culture, from Technology to Philosophy. Nothing human is foreign to me and it shouldn't be for you either. I got my math degree from UC Santa Cruz and studied the great books curriculum at St. John's College in Santa Fe. I bring over seven years of experience tutoring a variety of subjects from the middle school to college levels. My specialty is teaching academic subjects in their broader context and so connecting it more...

...to grad school. I have an undergraduate degree from Berkeley in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science with a minor in English Literature. As an attorney, I have extensive experience writing with a particular eye towards clarity and punchiness, including capturing and keeping the attention of an audience. I also tutored SAT courses for several years and am happy to work with teenagers and to help them reach their full potential by offering encouragement and helping...

...philosophy is that students learn best and come to deeper understanding of concepts through exploration and the ability to verbalize their thought process. To this end, I focus on assisting students by patiently asking questions to help guide their thinking and using manipulatives and/or technology where appropriate rather than telling them step by step what to do. I also recognize that each student is unique and has his/her own learning style, so I try to...
