...see math as a puzzle that can be easily solved if one becomes familiar with all the rules; furthermore, these rules are interconnected, so understanding one leads to understanding more. As a tutor, I build links between mathematical concepts rather than starting from scratch every time. My success as a tutor is also in part due to my patience with anyone struggling to understand a concept; I am willing to repeat something I have said...

...just how to do math or program but also why things work the way they do. As a result, my teaching style is a theory-based, proofs-first method similar to what you might find in a college math class. My favorite subjects to teach are probably the basic building blocks of calculus. It gets somewhat of a bad rap since it's taught mostly at the college level, but on a conceptual level, it's actually quite simple! The...

...focused on kindergarten readiness. Previously, I have tutored in local summer schools, focusing on remedial reading, math, and art in elementary school aged children. While I can tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about reading and writing. I believe literacy from an early age can change the course of every person's future, whether or not it is in an academic setting.

My teaching style emphasizes visual aids and mnemonics, which I find highly effective in reinforcing knowledge. I believe every student has the potential to succeed when given the right tools and support, and it brings me joy to walk alongside them in their academic journey.

...what I've been doing at Penn. I was a TA for my school's AP English Language class in my senior year of high school, so I have experience teaching students reading and writing to fit a certain exam style. I also was an assistant teacher at an elementary school for a year. Teaching English, whether that stringing letters together to read a word or writing a full-length essay about who the real monster in Mary...

...of fine art objects and historical artifacts. Because I took so many different classes in college, I feel I have a strong background for tutoring in chemistry, history, art history, anthropology, and math. I have been tutoring for over 8 years, both in high school and college, and am looking to continue tutoring now after my graduation while I work on my applications to graduate school in the next few years. Based on my studies...

...their continuous support for my education, I believe that education is the only way to advance in life. Education does not only include the accumulation of knowledge but also the application of what you have learned and the attitude associated with your application. Everything has to come in a package. I enjoy tutoring, particularly tutoring teenagers. When I was 12 or so, I had a tutor, or exactly, a mentor. She not only tutored me...

...and WCU. I enjoy working one on one with students to improve their composition and grammar skills. There is nothing more professionally satisfying than watching students improve their skills over time. Moreover, regardless of an individual's present writing competencies, I am convinced that with effort any student can learn to write well. My years of instructional experience have convinced me of this time and again. Indeed, writing is not rocket science, but rather a skill...

...tank from World War I. This research project particularly sparked my curiosity in museum studies and practices since the objective of the project was to ???tell the story of the tank??? for future museum visitors. The project combined my interests in modern history and the World Wars. Artifacts provide great learning tools for students and researchers. As a tutor with Varsity Tutors, I aim to provide each student with the developmental support to succeed in...

...and support necessary to help my students learn from their mistakes. Mistakes signify conceptual holes that must be filled through a detailed understanding of a course's core material. I want my students to become fluent in the basic language of their subject. Once a student has mastered the foundational concepts he can intuitively comprehend more advanced material instead of relying on memorization. For example, a student working on trigonometry cannot effectively understand cotangents or complex...

I love to read and learn things that are outside of my immediate skill set. As a tutor, I look forward to encountering various learning styles and adapting my own teaching style to the needs of my students. My goal is to...

I'm Youssef! I'm very excited to work with students right away. Here's some info about myself: I'm a current sophomore Astrophysics and Math Major in college. I love math, and science indeed, and I love teaching them to people in the most fun way possible! Because if math and science aren't fun, they're just a bunch of symbols that make zero sense. I'm very excited to work with students!

...was no internet, we shopped from store-to store to ensure that our equipment would give us the best possible input to our performance. Not rich by any means, our parents felt that it was worth the expense in order for us to perform at our peaks. It is with these thoughts in mind, that I have approached my career as an educator. I see education as a tool for life. It allows students to be...

...way he or she does. Throughout my years tutoring all levels of mathematics, I have developed the ability to readily explore several different viewpoints and methods to help students fully grasp the subject matter. I can present the material in many different ways until we find an approach that works and makes the material easy to understand. Nothing gives me a greater thrill than the look of relief on a student's face when they actually...
