...the giving thereof, and Im looking forward to being able to help your student (or you yourself) grow in the field you are currently grappling with. I have been fortunate to do well in my own academic pursuits: earning a Bachelor's in International Affairs & History from Georegetown University and a Master's in Education from Valparaiso University. I have taught for four years in a few different departments, but mostly in the social studies. I...

...The majority of his class-time revolved around asking us questions that led us to the points he was trying to make. While not everything can be taught purely in this fashion, I try to make my lessons focus on principles and processes, creating a deeper understanding of the facts presented in class or in the textbook. I find that this technique works very well with math and physics, where understanding the theory is often the...

...test-prep instructor for over 5 years now, and have absolutely loved it! I enjoy working with kids, and helping students develop academically and prepare themselves for important tests like the SAT and ACT is very fulfilling for me. I have an excellent academic record and have done very well on standardized tests such as the SAT and the LSAT. I understand the skills and strategies needed to succeed on these tests, and how to present...

...reading, poetry, and learning. I strive to help students read and analyze for themselves, instead of worrying about finding the "right answer." This helps them learn how to think critically about the world around them so that they become more enlightened, aware, and compassionate people. I seek to help each student get the most out of their learning as well as to prepare for the next step in their education. In my tutoring sessions, I...

...an invaluable skill for any profession. The best learning comes from finding your passion and relating that passion to subjects you may not necessarily like at first. I find that students who are interested in the content of material are able to pick up high level skills very quickly, and are motivated to think about learning in their free time. For that reason, I target my tutoring to each individual student, trying to give examples...

...teaching discussion sessions, helping students understand concepts and assignments during office hours, and being available to my students in general. I believe in a student goal-centered, individualized approach to tutoring, and in making sessions as relaxed and stress-free as possible. I believe in celebrating victories, no matter how small, and in learning from mistakes and weaknesses with an optimistic eye. I enjoy tutoring math the most, not only because I find the subject matter itself...

...addition, I am a published author, and was a Senior Editor for the Fletcher Security Review, so I would be happy to help with any writing or editing tasks. Lastly, I have taken the SAT and GRE and scored in the top 5% on both verbal sections, and received a perfect score of a 6 on the GRE writing test, so I would be happy to help anyone prepare for those tests as well.... I believe...

...can excel in these areas. My personal teaching philosophy is that learning should be fun. I will work hard to connect students' tutoring needs with their personal interests, whether it's making phonics practice into a fun game, or showing how literary concepts exist in popular culture as much as they do in the classics. For fun, I enjoy running, music (I play cello and piano), reading just about everything, and cheering on the Pittsburgh Steelers.

...tutored and taught students both online and offline ever since I got my Bachelor's Degree, including during my time at JHU, in subjects ranging from basic arithmetic to differential equations. My teaching philosophy is "math is easy"; my goal is to make sure you understand why math is intuitive and natural, so that it's easy for you, too. In my spare time, I like to to solve math puzzles (yeah, I know I'm a nerd),...

This is reflective of my teaching philosophy which relies not only on strong understanding of course material, but also implementing a pragmatic approach in learning as well. Currently I tutor students in science courses as well as standardized test preparation. Outside of working...
