...the professional environment. As a tutor, I believe that everyone benefits from encouragement - so many times the barrier to learning is confidence! Students often know more than they realize, and I like to guide the student in the process of discovering their own natural talents. I like to teach using questions and supporting students through active problem solving from the beginning. I recently moved to the Twin Cities from Arizona and I love exploring...

...the majority of my four years there working in the math tutoring center. I loved being able to work one-on-one with students and see their growth as they started to understand the material. I strongly believe that understanding concepts is just as important as being able to work out technical problems, and that all students (regardless of perceived mathematical intelligence) have the ability to do so. I also understand how mathematics functions to gatekeep some...

...just don't all learn it in the same way! I pride myself on making meaningful connections and relationships with my students. I have a great sense of humor, and believe I am pretty darn good at making learning fun. I love math, writing, and reading, and feel very comfortable tutoring all levels of these subjects. Personally, I love to spend time reading, binge watching shows on Netflix, cooking, and hanging out with my cat! I...

...all high school levels of math, computer science programming in Java, Python, or C, electrical engineering topics like circuitry or programming, and mechanical physics. I really enjoy helping other people out because my motto is "ancora imparo," or "I am always learning." So if I can always learn something, I wish to help others learn and do better as well. My hobbies include exercise, sports, and playing video games, basically anything that engages the body...

Furthermore, I have taken numerous AP classes in high school and am capable of educating in subjects that are of the relevant fields. In addition to this, I have taken the SAT and ACT, and have achieved high scores, giving me the ability to show you how to take these...

...as well as in many other subjects. I have been blessed with having exceptional math teachers in my past and look forward to passing this experience along to my students. Getting the basics down in chemistry and physics allows the student to excel in higher level courses. I love working in these two areas and am always learning new applications of basic principles. I think that my enthusiasm, excitement, and solid grasp of basic principles...

...years and over 1000 hours of experience tutoring and teaching. I have tutored students age 7 - 22 in subjects from French to Math to Biology. As a tutor I am patient and kind. My goal is for all the people I work with to gain a deep understanding of the subject matter they are studying. I have great success in achieving this goal because of my passion for math and science and my dedication...

...together, we will review the problems that I have provided for homework, and I will instruct the student on better and faster ways to solve the correct problems and demonstrate ways to approach the problems that they did not know how to solve. Additionally, I always find that my students have the greatest level of success as I foster great tutor/student relationships. I set high expectations for my personal academic achievements and expect the same...

...math at all levels and mostly focus on math, but can also cover theoretical CS, programming in Java & C, and basic physics. I've tutored students in high school through the math honor society, and continued tutoring in college through the Office of Multi-Ethnic Student Education. My long term plan after graduation is to enter grad school, get a PhD in math, and eventually become a math professor, researching and lecturing throughout the whole process.

...also the ability to think analytically. I would say that my tutoring philosophy is based on encouragement and always validating the opinions of the student before steering the student in the right direction. The student must be willing to learn and absorb information, as well as willing to work with me on a schedule that will match our goals and get the desired result. I am very enthusiastic about learning with these students and making...

...the best thing a tutor can ask for. For mathematics, I've taken up to Calculus BC in high school, and Multivariable Calculus at UCR. I understand the concepts, but I can also explain them using applicable examples. Really, math is like a language; you need to know the basics before you get speaking fluently. Math can be difficult, but it can be even more fun once you get it. To me, chemistry is the perfect...
