Award-Winning IB Psychology HL Tutors

...at the University of Chicago's School of Social Service Administration. I am passionate about tutoring because I want everyone to be able to perform academically at their highest possible level. I also think it is important that learning is not just for one assignment or one test, but rather that it sticks with you to build a solid foundation of knowledge and confidence that you can carry forward. My favorite subjects to tutor include English,...

...Subject" by students every year. It starts when you are 5 and just cumulates and cumulates and just doesn't stop, making any misunderstanding over the course of 13 years devastating. As a tutor, I back-track through any and all previous years to fill in the gaps that have cumulated over the years, in order to better tackle the new material at hand. I enjoy tutoring mathematics because once it is understood, it will be remembered...

...material they must know for a test. I want students to be motivated to learn for the sake of learning something new, rather than simply to pass a test.

I also love to travel whenever I get the chance, and most recently have visited Ireland,...

I have spent the last two years in a residency program with the...

...I feel is directly related to tutoring and the success of the clients. Throughout high school I tutored both classmates and younger students and enjoyed each and every session that brought the students closer to success. I learned that not every student learns the same way and what works for one student might not work for another. I believe it is important to adapt to the individual learning style of each student.

...of education for over 20 years, with 16 years as a classroom teacher and 27 years as a tutor. My philosophy as both a teacher and a tutor are the same; namely, my focus is on teaching the student not the subject. My approach with each student is unique because he or she has to be taught according to what's best for his or her learning style (visual, auditory, kinesthetic or any combination).... Every student is...

...which we should work on together. Once those building blocks are established, we can more easily transition into the next levels of the topic. Most importantly, I work with a student to create a plan tailored to their individual learning style and needs. When I am not studying or tutoring, I like to spend my time reading, hiking, exploring the sights in Arizona, traveling, and visiting my family back home in the Pacific Northwest!

...skills that I believe were key to my academic success, and skills which I believe anyone can acquire with proper instruction. This combined with my familiarity with the GRE means I can help you achieve the result you wish. My way of teaching focuses on understanding instead of rote memorization and that each pupil is best suited for a tailored teaching plan that takes into account your current abilities, time commitments, strengths/weaknesses, and desired result....

...challenging. I like to explain the world with math concepts, which is easy and beautiful. Since I studied my math in China, I feel comfortable to transfer these concepts to the US classroom.

In fact, I am currently tutoring an elementary student. Through my tutoring...

...epistles: "[P]art of the joy in learning is that it puts me in a position to teach; nothing, however outstanding and however helpful, will ever give me any pleasure if the knowledge is to be for my benefit alone. If wisdom were offered me on the one condition that I should keep it shut away and not divulge it to anyone, I should reject it. There is no enjoying the possession of anything valuable unless...

...teaching English as a foreign language to Thai students ages 3-4 and 10-11. Working in the classroom was both fun and exhausting, but I especially enjoy one-on-one or small group learning situations because it allows for the opportunity to target individual weaknesses and turn them into strengths.
