I am a senior in college studying Business Analytics with a background in chemical engineering. My current major requires a vast statistical knowledge and I have many years of chemistry experience.

...in my German tutoring especially, I'm very systematic, so that my students have a strong grammar foundation on which to build further skills and concepts.

...simply because I enjoyed and was passionate about the material itself. But I enjoyed it even more when I heard about all the success other students were having as a result of my teaching. I was recruited to Brown University for rowing, and am officially undeclared but plan on graduating with a dual degree in biology and German studies. My favorite subjects to tutor are the ones I'm most passionate about; namely biology, German, and...

I'm an undergraduate at Columbia College. I love tutoring students in math, German, SHSAT, and SAT. I believe that I have good communication and pedagogical skills, and a firm understanding of the subject matter. Having come from Germany at the age of eleven, I know the frustration that can come with feeling overwhelmed by coursework. I performed well on standardized exams like the SHSAT and the SAT and can teach test-taking skills that will ultimately...

...achievement in teaching I have experienced is giving someone the ability to reason, and the drive and ability to begin teaching themselves. I enjoy teaching certain topics because of their power to bring this about, including languages, mathematics, and (of course) philosophy. All of these areas stretch from an elementary to an advanced level, and I consider it of cardinal importance to equally value the successful communication both of elementary topics, such as algebra 1...

As an ME student at MIT, I've learned a lot about math and science, and I'd love to share that knowledge with students here. I've taught over thirty students in standardized test preparation, English, German, and various kinds of math and science. It's very important to find teaching methods that meet students' individual needs,so the first meeting will usually be largely about finding the perfect learning strategy for a student.

...form normal techniques. I have tutored both kids and peers in the past. I have found that for kids, especially in mathematics, relating to something they enjoy makes the experience more enjoyable. Regarding peers/college level students, I can relate to them very well, because I have been through exactly what they're going through and I believe the number one trait is patience. I never rush a student and treat them with the utmost respect.... I like...

...the University of Pennsylvania for my writing ability and am employed at our Critical Writing Center. Here, I advise both undergraduate and graduate students on their academic and professional writing, editing and proofreading for grammar, logical coherence, and persuasiveness. I love my job at the Writing Center and enjoy the one-on-one time I have with recurring tutees. These skills would give me specific insight into the college writing style, particularly helpful in working with college...

...peers overcame. Tutoring is a way for me to repay a debt I feel I owe to my own teachers by helping others succeed where my teachers helped me succeed. Education is necessary for personal growth and human flourishing as a whole, and I try to embody this attitude while working with students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading philosophy and novels, writing, meditating, slacklining, and playing the occasional video game.

...subject before trying to focus on specifics, especially in math and science. I try to have a very flexible teaching style, as I know not everybody learns in the same way, and I will always come prepared to teach a subject in multiple ways depending on the student's way of learning. I am outgoing, encouraging and patient, and I will always push my students to achieve to the best of their abilities.... My teaching philosophy is...

...it in a few different ways. We all learn differently, so I aim to develop an individualized approach for each 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...

...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 rewarding thing to me is when someone is able to say "Oh! I get it," and understand...

...During that year I got my first experience in tutoring American students in German. My students included middle school level all the way up to senior-level professionals. My favorite part of teaching German to my students was following their progress and seeing them reach their goals together with me. My approach to tutoring really depends on the student and his or her needs. However, as a general rule of thumb I try to stick to...

...most passionate about those languages. The first semester of my senior year in high school was spent living with a host family in Clermont-Ferrand, France, and I also spent a semester studying at La Sorbonne in college. I thus have a strong linguistic and cultural connection with France and Germany due to my time living and studying there. Regarding my teaching philosophy, I have always been an experiential learner, so I understand that not everyone...

...the High School or College level. I believe that education and the process of educating are two-way streets, during which both parties learn and evolve constantly. Success, especially in tutoring, comes from building strong, personal relationships with each student, getting to know one's student, and letting the student know the tutor, also builds trust, which is essential for a healthy learning environment. I am eager to work with any student, and I am confident that...

...as a second language, and in 1994 I underwent training to teach Russian as a second language. Over my more than 20 years in teaching, I have trained people of all stripes for all kinds of personal goals: to improve their grades at school, to pass university entrance exams, to help American-born kids return to their roots, or just to boost their self-confidence. My teaching approach is comprehensive, and includes all the components of language:...
