I tutor because I know what it’s like to struggle in school. I’ll never forget the day my high school counselor told me I might never go to college. Her words stung, but the inspiration the words gave me is irreplaceable.She drove me to succeed. My new found motivation propelled me from a C student to the top ten percent of my graduating high school class. From there I began my degree in Biochemistry at Western Washington University, which I will receive in June 2015.I tutor chemistry, physics, biology and math. I also provide test prep for the SAT and MCAT. I have worked at my university’s tutoring center for over a year. This taught me to teach quickly and effectively. I never had more than 15 minutes with a student, but my job depended on my ability to help them understand a concept, whether it was algebra or organic chemistry. I also worked with the Compass 2 Campus program, where I tutored and mentored middle school students from low-income schools.I always like to get to know the students I work with. I love hearing about their goals and interests. It allows me to tailor my style to each individual student, and make coursework relevant to them. I hold all my students to high standards, but I give everything I’ve got to make sure they achieve them.

I love tutoring and helping students better understand their subjects. I bring a unique way of approaching the subject that is meant to keep the student engaged and learning ranter than forcing them to recite a bunch of uninteresting facts over and over.I tutor a wide variety of subjects that I'm personally and professional passionate about. I was a comparative literature/religious studies dual major in college so I'm very familiar with history, writing, and literature analysis.In high school I took 8 AP classes and I'm familar with the rigors and stresses of these classes. I work hard with my students to make sure that they feel they can get 5s on all of their tests!Outside of teaching I love reading about history and playing guitar.

I have always loved helping others, and I've found that I do my best work in a one-on-one environment, like tutoring. I graduated from BYU with a bachelor's degree in communication disorders, and I will be working as a speech-language technician for Nebo School District, starting in the fall. I lived in the Dominican Republic as a church volunteer, and I am fluent in Spanish.I understand that students retain best what they do themselves. For this reason, my tutoring philosophy is to allow the student to go as far as he or she can alone and then give the tools necessary to figure the rest out together. This process continues until the student feels confident doing the work alone.

I am extremely passionate about literature. I specialize in grammar, diction, editing, sentence structure, composition, and literary research and development. I have a strong knack for creative writing including character development, plot execution, outline formation, theory, information technology, and essay compilation.I am also skilled in time management and practicing healthy student habits. I am a critical thinker and thoughtful leader with a lifelong commitment to education.I am genuine and sincere with a natural gift of putting students at ease. I propel students to raise their bars of confidence. Most of all, I never forget to smile and laugh.

As someone entering medical school at the University of Pennsylvania as a Twenty-First Century scholar this fall, I am excited to take on my role as a lifelong learner - I know how empowering education and just figuring things out can be. I want to help students learn to love, too, for that precise reason. Be it scoring higher on a standardized test or needing help through a class they are taking, I want to help them understand and have the tools to succeed.

I tutor biology, chemistry, algebra, biochemistry, genetics, and microbiology.I recently graduated from Texas A&M with a double major in biochemistry and genetics.I started tutoring while at Texas A&M, and I loved helping others understand the difficult topics teachers and professors cover quickly.Chemistry is my favorite subject to tutor because I did have difficulties with topics at first. However, when I got the hang of it, it all made sense and was actually fun!I am a positive, patient tutor. I am very understanding and won't hesitate to repeat myself many times. I personally am a visual learner, so I try to draw and write as much as I can. At first, I explain everything and every step until you understand. I feel accomplished when you are not only confident by yourself, but can explain every step you take and why.

My passion for tutoring comes from my passion about the subjects that I tutor, and my love of sharing knowledge and understanding. I have helped friends, classmates, and roommates throughout my schooling. In a more official setting, I have tutored collegiate students in Computer Science and Data Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I also obtained my bachelors in Computer Science in three years. I was the VP of Engineering at the UW Software Development Club, and I have tutored students in Java, Python, C, and a tiny bit in SQL, but my own experience extends to the rest of the C family (C++ and C#) in addition to the web development stack - HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.My teaching philosophy is that mistakes are how we learn, and I have found that when your view of mistakes shifts to see them as puzzles to be solved, the learning process becomes fun. My tutoring style tends to be visual, hands on, and demonstration based.

I am a current ELA Middle School Teacher in New York City. I have provided whole and small group reading instruction aligned to the Common Core Standards. Before moving to New York in late 2011, I completed my Master's degree at Boston University in Teaching and Curriculum.Teaching is not only instructional but social, and it is rooted in building relationships. While it is important to be firm, it's equally important to have a relationship with students and parents. My philosophy stems from years of public service after college. In 2008 I was a corps member at City Year Boston in which I taught literacy to disadvantaged students. Soon after, I joined Teach For America in 2009 as a corps member and worked in the Boston Public School system. I was lucky enough to teach a range of grades (Grade 2-8) in both public and private school settings.I enjoy teaching, moreover I love READING! Literacy is my passion. Teaching kids to read is a difficult task; there is no one magic bullet. There are many factors I target while teaching or supporting a struggling/reluctant reader. I also try to instill a joy of reading to struggling/reluctant readers by exposing the student to different types of literature and using other methods. I tutor students as an opportunity to reach more students and support them with reading. I look forward to working with your child.

Hello! My name is William, and I am a P.h.D. student at Columbia in Mechanical Engineering. I graduated from UC Berkeley with a mechanical engineering major and a math minor. When I was helping my sister study for the SAT math section, I realized I loved teaching. It gave me a better understanding of the material I enjoyed, and it was fascinating to see her gain skills and knowledge.Furthermore, I have experience teaching through my involvement in the 3D printing club and camp at Gaston Day School. I started the club in high school and acted as their president for a few years. Over the summer, I was a counselor for high schoolers looking to learn more about additive manufacturing. I helped write the curriculum for this camp and teach the material. Being in college upper division mathematics, I also have extensive experience studying in groups. It is often the case in group learning that you must take on the role of the teacher to explain things to your peers and the part of the student when you don't understand something yourself. This means that I have experience on both sides of the teaching equation. During these times, as a camp counselor, an SAT/ACT tutor, and a study group member, I learned to teach effectively.I am experienced in tutoring ACT and SAT math. I can teach shortcuts and strategies to succeed on these tests. I also received my mathematics minor at UC Berkeley to help with higher levels of math like calculus and linear algebra. I can also help with physics since I earned an A+ in Physics 7A and 7B at UC Berkeley.My mission is to help with homework or test prep by facilitating an understanding of the material and, hopefully, to have fun along the way. If you would like to work with me, let me know, and I would be happy to help!Sincerely,Will

I believe that music plays a strong role in the life of all people. Whether you decide to become a professional musician or someone who just enjoys music it can play such a monumental role in everyone's life. Music can connect people of different backgrounds, bring people together, serve as therapy for some, and even become a career for others. I believe in teaching people how to appreciate and understand music from all over the world.
