I am a scientist that is passionate about learning and teaching.

...Biological Sciences. I have experience both as a tutor, working with high school students in AP Chemistry, and a classroom teacher, working with middle school students in Life & Physical Sciences. I have a broad range of subjects that I am comfortable tutoring in, ranging from English and essay editing to Algebra and middle school math. But I am most passionate (and get most geeked out about) teaching science, especially topics in Biology and Life...

...I ultimately got my BA in Mathematics with a minor in Education. My plan was to finish college and go immediately into teaching high school math. As it turned out, that didn't happen. I got side-tracked and, enjoying math so much, I stuck around UVA for another two years and earned a MS in Math. I then got drafted by the NSA and did cyptopgraphy for a few years. Now I'm back on (the education)...

...to use what I have learned to help others succeed in math classes. As part of my experience in college, I was a supplemental instruction leader and involved in math reader programs, which developed my teaching skills in different levels of mathematics. Even after I graduated, I still continued to do small group teaching in a private education institute and some one-on-one tutoring. When I see my students are struggling with math, I am always...

...solved step by step. I love to play basketball and am an avid fan of the Los Angeles Lakers. I spent a year as a sports writing intern for www.Lakersnation.com and so I really got to put my interest to work. This experience also helped me in my writing skills and my ability to engage readers. My passion is health care and it is my dream to help others. I look forward to teaching and...

...This statement gives me great inspiration as I work with my students. As a tutor, I have worked with students from ages 5 to 25. I tutor many academic subjects, but my favorites are always History, Social Science, English, and Literature. I love these subjects because I often feel they are our greatest keys to understanding why the world behaves as it does. I have taught numerous forms of standardized tests for admittance to high...

...to high school about subjects ranging from life sciences, physics, and engineering concepts. I’ve also gone through my fair share of standardized testing ranging from the PSAT to the MCAT and really believe I’ve come to learn the tips and tricks you need to succeed on such tests. As a result, I have informally helped a lot of my younger peers through their academic and mental preparation for these exams. I also am very familiar...

...to successfully meet the needs of all of my students, whether they are on an IEP or are above grade level and are looking for a challenge. I truly believe that education should be a journey of self-discovery; a journey where students find the courage to make mistakes, discover their own gifts and talents, and and use those gifts and talents to be life-giving themselves. I look forward to the opportunity to be a guiding...

...learning and thinking. I believe that we all construct our own knowledge through experience - we learn by doing, by experimenting, trying, and experiencing - and I encourage my students to try out and adjust their own strategies, instead of always expecting them to do it my way. I am an artist, writer and musician (I led a folk band for 5 years). I am an avid public transit rider and often get around by...

I am a PhD candidate in Art History working hard to finish my dissertation! I'm originally from the PNW, but I've spent the last 8 years living in New York. Experiencing different worldviews is very important to me. I've lived abroad in France and love to travel and explore new spaces and ideas. I'm a creative visual thinker and respect that everyone is different in their learning processes. ... To address higher order concerns while completing...

...afforded the opportunity to be an SI leader at Cal State Fullerton when I transferred. I continue to tutor because I believe that knowledge is meant to be shared and what better way to do so than by tutoring! I've been trained and certified by both Cypress College and CSU Fullerton in tutoring techniques as well as supplemental instruction methodology. Therefore, I am well versed not only in the subject matter but the means in...

...at the high school level. Not being too much older than students of this age range, I find I can relate quite well and I can serve as a role model, exemplifying how well-educated/smart/happy they too can be in 5 years (at my age). I generally prefer tutoring SAT math, Geometry, and Algebra 2; using mathematical reasoning to approach a challenge appeals to me because it's a skill that requires experience. I enjoy helping students...

...my experience with tutoring, I have found that students can often learn best when the instruction is tailored to their needs. Each student has unique strengths and weaknesses, and I enjoy the challenge of figuring out how to play on those strengths and weaknesses in order to bring out the best performance from the student. Although law is still my passion, I've found that I truly enjoy teaching; the friendships I've developed and the lessons...

...interned in several projects during my stay at UCD. Besides my love for nature, I also enjoy math. It is the main subject I tutor in, and I find it very rewarding helping students understand different mathematical concepts. I have had previous experience in this subject with students from all grade levels. I also tutor in conversational Spanish, since I am fluent in Spanish. During my free time I enjoy knitting, reading, bird watching, and...

I am a senior Mechanical Engineering student at the University of California Riverside. I have a love for Math and Science, and I find so much satifisfaction in helping students develop a love for it as well.

...English literature and writing with others. As a former educator, I am deeply familiar with the many issues that students, Teachers, and schools face. When I student-taught at Edison High School, I learned the importance of not only appreciating each student's learning style, but the less salient aspects of his or her life which affected learning: their extracurricular activities, workload in other classes, and emotional, social, or psychological struggles. I held firm to my standards,...

...experience with CollegeSpring. Math is my favorite subject because solving problems is like solving a puzzle; there are many ways to go about finding the solution but, at least for this level of math, there is only one answer. The subjects I feel the most confident tutoring are SAT Math, Algebra or below, Public Speaking, and Essay Editing/ Writing. From my experience as both a student and a tutor, I find that the best way...

I love motivating students with energetic, active, fun tutoring sessions, and there's nothing more rewarding than watching students gain confidence in their abilities to tackle the material at hand. As your tutor, I promise to be flexible and patient, but I will also make sure to challenge you so you can reach the goals you have set for yourself.

...a variety of subjects at the middle school level. I am in education because it is a constantly changing field where one can always work on improving one's teaching. I enjoy the challenges of teaching and tutoring because it means that no two days are ever the same. In addition, I enjoy using research based methods in education. I also believe in empowering students to reach their goals. I enjoy cooking on my free time,...
