I'm a retired hi-tech professional with a passion for education. I view tutoring as a way to help the next generation develop the skills that will be required of our future workforce. I helped my children ace the PSAT and SAT and secure college scholarships. My daughter was a National Merit finalist. I helped one of my VT students qualify for National Merit and secure admission to Harvard and two others to secure high school scholarships. I look forward to working with you to help you achieve yo...More

I'm a current medical student at the University of Arizona College of Medicine with undergraduate degrees from Washington and Lee in chemical engineering and anthropology. I have extensive experience in tutoring and teaching since 2010, and am ready to help you with your learning needs! I focus on standardized testing (SAT/ACT) and also tutor in a wide range of math, English, and Spanish classes. In my free time, I like to run, do CrossFit, volunteer, and watch TV!

I am studying Chemical Biology in UC Berkeley. One of my passions is Organic Chemistry, which I used to loath but now enjoys after taking a year of it. Also, because I like helping others, I enjoys tutoring/teaching students who are struggling. During high school, I have tutored other high students after school on various subjects such as Math, Physics, Chemistry, and Latin. During college, I have held informal review sessions for General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry for my underclassmen. I t...More

I am a Mechanical Engineering student at St. Mary's University in San Antonio, Texas. The reason I want to make a career in engineering is because I want to work for a company that is all about innovation in the future. I strive to use my knowledge to help humanity become more energy efficient and technologically advanced.

I am a fan of the "Pomodoro Technique," which uses a timer to split each half hour of the session into a 25 minute work period followed by a 5 minute break. The promise of a short respite helps students power through distractions, and the break helps ward off frustration.

I am a constructivist educator. This means that my goal is to make meaningful connections between what my student already knows and the material they are attempting to learn. I think students learn best when they are appropriately challenged in a safe learning atmosphere.

I am looking at their work 'from the outside' and can therefore see where they have improved whereas the student might see their struggles more clearly than their progress. I also believe and emphasize that learning is an ongoing process, and academic skills don't come naturally to most people - they are skills which require practice over time. With a subject like Spanish, I try to relate to the student's struggles by talking about issues that I found difficult as well.

I am interested in bettering your educational experience in the Life Sciences, Chemistry, and Math! If you or your child is struggling with math or science courses or, perhaps, is preparing for a standardized test that requires application knowledge in these areas then I may be the guy for you! I am also interested in tutoring individuals who are working towards acceptance into a professional school that might have been out of school for a while.

I am a senior at Arizona State University and have plans to continue on to medical school after receiving my undergraduate degree. I love tutoring all of the courses I have listed, especially the sciences, as that is what I study at ASU. Over the last year I have been tutoring students in science subjects at ASU's tutoring center. This experience has given me a sense of which topics are particularly troubling to students, and how to best explain these topics in a way that is understandable. When...More

I'm excited to share my love of science and learning through tutoring! I tutor Biology, Ecology, and standardized test prep. From high school to Stanford, I have learned that lectures are often difficult for students to follow. They can lose confidence in subjects because the information is not presented in a way that is effective for their learning. My job is to work with students to figure out the best way to learn challenging material. This may involve breaking down complicated ideas into con...More
