Award-Winning IB Psychology HL Tutors

...that you can carry forward. My favorite subjects to tutor include English, SAT test preparation, math, and psychology. My approach to tutoring is to meet the student where they're at and go from there. I find that this way we can build a productive tutoring relationship where I can help individualize learning to each person's particular learning style. Outside of academic interests, I enjoy cooking, being with friends and family, traveling the world, and looking...

...Houston to attend Rice University, where I majored in Psychology. I then earned a masters degree in Religion at Yale and I am now working towards a degree in Bioethics at UPenn.

Upon moving to Philadelphia, I found a position at CHOP as a research assistant and then transitioned to a job as an OB/GYN...

...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 and utilized throughout a lifetime. I also really enjoy teaching economics mainly because I'm a huge econ-nerd. When I am not tutoring...

...was a classroom teacher for four years and in that time, I taught multiple grade levels and subject areas. I now work for Arizona Science Center focusing on STEM education. I firmly believe that all students can learn and that all students can be successful! Everyone learns in their own unique way and the job of a tutor is to scaffold content, so that the content best matches the style of the students' learning. Thank...

...student should play an active role in the learning process. This enhances learning by allowing the students themselves the opportunity to strengthen the connections in the brain that produce learning. When I am not perfecting my tutoring skills, I find myself involved in music in some way. I play the drums and have been playing for ten years. I also like to play the piano, guitar, or any instrument I can get my hands on....

...am currently in the honors program at USC to receive my masters in social work for clinical counseling. I believe I am patient, understanding and excellent at building foundations that will stay with you for a lifetime. I would love to help you with your educational pursuit and I will make sure that frustration is never felt again. It is my goal to make sure each individual student achieves their maximum potential, you are all super...

...blocks of a topic; I identify which of those building blocks a student is comfortable with and 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,...

...group learning situations because it allows for the opportunity to target individual weaknesses and turn them into strengths. I am especially interested in tutoring writing and study skills/techniques, or in working with any IB Diploma or Certificate candidates on IB subjects. I myself am extremely passionate about learning and plan to return to school to further my burgeoning career in social marketing through public health. In my spare time, I enjoy singing, practicing yoga and...

...in the fall. I love working with children and adolescents of all ages, and hope to use my masters of social work to better their lives in some way. I have experience as a senior camp counselor for various camps, an assistant teacher, a babysitter, a substitute teacher, a dance teacher, and more. In my free time, I love practicing yoga, running, crafting, baking, and spending time with my family and friends.

...make the subject as interesting and engaging as possible, relating as many topics to real-world or personal examples as I can. I like to break down hard-to-understand concepts to their basic elements to make it easier to grasp. I understand that every student learns in his or her own way and I make sure I tailor my lessons and explanations to suit that individual. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, going to the beach,...

...a great deal of responsibility to the student to figure things out. I will make sessions as interactive as possible, using as many non-academic resources as I can in order to help students think of subjects as life skills rather than 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. When I'm not tutoring or...

...and I have formally lectured undergraduates, graduate students, veterinary students, and technical college students. I love learning and am an enthusiastic teacher. My teaching philosophy, in a nutshell, centers on involving the student learner. How do they think? What interests them? Engaging students and working to avoid frustrating them is vital to effective teaching. It can be very challenging in a classroom setting, but in tutoring, it is usually a thoroughly adaptable method and enjoyable...

...not the entire class's strengths and weaknesses. I also seek to be personally approachable to students because when there is a divide between tutor and tutoree, I do not believe that the student learns as much as they potentially can. I see the tutoring relationship as a two-way avenue in which both parties learn valuable, new skills throughout sessions. In my spare time, I like to spend time with my friends and family, volunteer, bake,...

...with multiple years of experience teaching English overseas, having lived in both Thailand and Laos, and worked with students of all ages and skill levels.

I am an empathetic tutor, as I strongly believe that subject matter expertise must be combined with a true understanding of a student’s learning style,...

...make sure the student is involved in the process. I like to ask them questions about the material and to help them draw out and visualize the solution. Every student learns differently and I feel they do better when they can personally relate to the material and find a connection to their own life. In my spare time I enjoy playing music, painting, reading, rock climbing and spending time with my family.... I like to meet...

...elementary and secondary math teacher from Texas. I've been in the field 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...

...I apply psychological and educational concepts about learning. I always use positive reinforcement, consider different learning styles (i.e. visual, audio, etc.), and aim to keep students engaged by using real life examples that they can connect to. Learning requires engagement and I try to make math concepts more reachable for all students. Outside of school and teaching, I enjoy cooking, reading, catching up on television series, and enjoying the outdoors. Originally from San Diego, I...

Every effort is made to use the types of materials that best suit each student's individual learning style. While I believe all learning is inherently an enjoyable process and work hard to instill that feeling in my students, I also recognize the importance of encouraging students to develop the mental discipline and focus necessary to...

...school students. What I believe makes me a great tutor are the following: I frequently engage the class, I find ways to make learning fun for my students and give them examples of how their lessons apply to the world we inhabit, and I am very thorough in the material and diligently work, while being patient, to make sure each student is understanding the lessons because I know everyone has a unique way he/she processes...
