Robert loves to tutor and has a well rounded list of subjects. ... Learning is the key to everything. Understanding and connecting with each individual is the path to learning....

Watching sports especially soccer on the weekends and traveling when it works with my schedule. Relaxing and just having...

...International Area Studies. I am currently working at the NIH. I have experience tutoring college, high school, and middle school students. During tutoring sessions I like to pinpoint where the problem areas are and begin by working with students on the fundamentals.

Via community engagement, participatory research, and observation, I seek to develop new international class...

...love teaching and tutoring. I taught English in primary schools in France last year. I learned an enormous amount about the importance of education and the importance of good teachers and mentors. Education is a field that I hope to pursue as a career and there is nothing more crucial to the project of education than fostering positive relationships with students. Tutoring is a great way to begin to do that. I also have a...

...scenario. Though I particularly love to tutor students in programming (especially Python or Java) and all levels of math up to Calculus BC, I also find it enjoyable to tutor students in SAT English and Math. I believe in a project based and interactive approach to education, in which students talk as much as tutors, leading to them fully comprehending topics. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy playing the violin (I can teach music lessons as...

I'm originally from Boston and I graduated from Wesleyan University in Connecticut, where I majored in Government and Sociology. During my junior year, I studied abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark.

I have known since I was in high school that teaching and helping others learn was something that I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Sharing my passion for learning is just completely fulfilling and I can't think of any other job more rewarding. It's my goal to help everyone who comes to me understand what they are having trouble with, and to make them more confident with their learning.

...way to give back to the educational community. School is such an important part of our lives and I genuinely enjoy mitigating the stress of students of all ages. Confidence in your ability to learn is a wonderful feeling that we should be striving to create in students and this confidence will hopefully spill over into other areas of life. Apart from tutoring, I enjoy walking along the waterfront, particularly when free food tents are...

...on how a person's physical environment affects their way of life. I've had the great fortune of walking the ruins of Tulum (Mexico), standing at the gates of Kensington Palace, climbing up Dunn's River Falls (Jamaica), or observing the stalactites and stalagmites in ancient caves in Bermuda. I bring both my experience and fascination of other peoples and places to my geography tutoring sessions. My education, training, and experience in the performing arts provides me...

Keeping this in mind allows students to leave sessions with an in depth understanding of their material.

...1st year College level. I am committed to my student's success and do not believe in teaching to the assignment. I listen and ask questions to understand all of my student's challenges as well as strengths in our target subject. My teaching philosophy is to bring the student to the point where they can in turn teach the material themselves. This is the hallmark of my approach. I look forward to working with you!

...History, and Engineering. During tutoring sessions, I strive to make students comfortable with the material and confident in their abilities. I'm glad to work with you when you feel in over your head, when you want that little bit of extra polish, and at all times in between.

I have experience working with high school, middle school and elementary school students. I am creative and enjoy learning and teaching equally.
