I love science because I love the thought process that goes into it. I currently work as a biology professor, and my favorite part of my job is helping students make connections with the class material. I believe that learning to think critically about the world has applications far beyond the classroom, and watching students learn to evaluate claims and think deeply about a topic is very rewarding.My goals are to help anyone who wants to learn, and to help students love science as much as I do. I emphasize mostly concept and problem based learning, rather than route memorization. Memorization is often a necessary first step to learning a topic, but mastering a concept allows students to work through problems they haven't seen before.

I have worked hard in the subjects that I excel in to get where I currently am. I am an undergraduate student at Stony Brook University majoring in Mathematics, so you could say that Math and me really click. I have worked with others, trying to better help them obtain a better understanding of math and they have shown bright results.My hobbies include some outdoor activities like going row boating or hanging with friends. I sometimes spend time working on my Youtube channel.

Hello, I am a recent graduate of the University of Redlands. I majored in environmental science and physics and minored in math. Throughout college I tutored other university students in one on one and in small groups environments. While most my tutoring experience is with older students, I have 5 years of experience teaching and coaching swimming to kids ranging from 2-17.In my spare time I enjoy all things outdoors, from backpacking to hiking to climbing or swimming as long as I am outside I am happy. At my university I volunteered at a trip leader for my school Outdoor Programs club. I really enjoy working with others and helping each student better understand the material.

I'm graduating from medical school at Duke University this summer and finally have quite a bit of flexible time to tutor, something I really enjoyed doing all throughout college.Before med school, I went to Rice University for undergrad and majored in Biochemistry and minored in Business and Global Health Technologies. In many of the subjects I tutor, I've learned them not just once or twice, but three times (for example - General Biology, AP Biology, college-level Biology, and the ultimate med-school/real life application of Biology). Because I have been through the same learning difficulties, I know how to explain the topics in a way that is easily understood.As for my tutoring style, I like to get to know the student's goals, difficulties, and schedule, and tutor the student accordingly. In the tutoring sessions, if you don't have any specific questions or homework to do, I'll do a brief review of the topic, and then ask you to work a few example problems. This helps keep you both active and alert, and ensures that you're understanding the material.My past clients have included middle school students to college students. I've tutored a variety of subjects including the PSAT, SAT, Calculus, Biology, Chemistry, English, and Geometry. In the far past, I have also tutored elementary school students and worked as a full time Teaching Assistant in an ESL program.I look forward to hearing from you!

I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Commercial Art at Ohio State University, but it didnt take me long to realize that working behind a drawing board all day was not my life ambition. I wanted to teach. So back to school I went to get certified as an English teacher. Now I have a Masters Degree and a PhD from the University of Oregon. And for nearly forty years, Ive taught a wide range of subjects in middle schools, high schools, and colleges: English, Speech, and Composition as well as Theater and Acting. But by far my greatest passion is teaching Writing and Composition. Like many educators, I believe that good writing is a predecessor to greater success in life; but Im also convinced that good writing is a skill you can learn, not simply a talent youre born with. Thats what makes teaching writing so important to me: I love to help students discover what theyre doing wrong in their compositions and what they can do to create writing that is more powerful and effective. At the same time, I try to impart an appreciation for words and language, grammar and literature, spoken and written. I love reading, writing, watching movies, and shopping for antiques in my spare time.

I am a graduate of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. I received my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and Health with a minor in Urban and Regional Planning. Since graduation, I worked as an elementary school teacher in Detroit, Michigan as a 2012 Teach for America Corps member, I am most passionate about English, Math and Reading.I am currently a founding kindergarten teacher at KIPP Columbus Elementary where I have the honor to work with talented students everyday. In my experience working with elementary students I have seen tremendous growth in the area of reading and math because I work hard to bring these two subjects to life so students can reach their fullest potential. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading that which enriches my life, as well as spending time with friends and family.

Education is the building block for a better future. I come from a family of educators, including my parents and grandparents, who instilled in me the importance of education. I want to become a STEM teacher because I want to educate, guide, and inspire students to become the next generation of scientists who can change the world. I believe that my job as a tutor is to encourage students to become lifelong learners by providing a learning environment that simulates critical thinking without fear of asking questions. I try to help students understand the fundamental concepts by instilling confidence in their knowledge, providing various learning techniques, and connections to the real world that inspires curiosity. I find it rewarding to help a student understand a new, challenging concept. By creating a classroom that simulates critical thinking and a desire to learn, I believe I have provided the tools for my students to be successful as they move throughout their college career. Helping to create the next generation of scientists has inspired me to become a better scientist and I will continue to challenge my students as well as myself in the future.

Thank you for taking the time to consider me as your tutor! My name is Della, I am a certified special education teacher and I have several years of experience working at the elementary level. My specific areas of expertise include working with English Language learners, teaching basic reading and math skills in English as well as in Spanish, working with students who have special needs such as learning disabilities, cognitive impairments, autism, ADHD and other specific learning needs. My experience working with these special populations makes me uniquely qualified to meet the needs of all learners, including gifted students and students who may need some reinforcement to boost their skills. I look forward to working with you!

As a pre-medical student at Princeton University, I've had significant experience with a vast array of subjects in both learning and teaching roles. I started tutoring in high school and have been hooked ever since! I enjoy helping others succeed in any way I can.After spending a few years helping students in my hometown prepare for the SAT, I've more recently focused on the hard sciences. I've taught students of all ages in the past and I believe it is important to curtail your teaching methods to the student's favorite learning style. Whether you're a visual, auditory, or tactile learner (or some combination of all three!), I'm confident I can assist you in understanding and mastering difficult concepts!I plan to matriculate to medical school in the summer of 2014 after taking a gap year filled with relaxation, a lot of hockey, and hopefully some scuba diving if I'm lucky enough to escape the barren oceanic depths of New Jersey!
