...Stanford's d.school, where the curriculum is all about the "design thinking" framework for creative problem solving pioneered by the international design firm IDEO. While typically used in startups to develop new innovations, I've found it extremely handy in tutoring. Every student is different and so are their difficulties, so a finite set of ways to present a concept or tackle a difficulty is potentially limiting. In my experience, it's much more effective to use an...

...Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent stay-at-home mandates, I have refined my online tutoring skills and am now proficient at aiding students electronically using online tools and video conferencing software. I graduated with my Associate of Science degree at the same time I graduated with my high school diploma. I then went on to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Brigham Young University. I love both mathematics and the sciences, and consequently, I excel in...

There is no better feeling than solving a complicated integral or finishing a page of calculations and getting the correct answer.

I am very personable and dedicated and in the end I just want the student to have...

French and German are my native languages, but I have also completed both the AP German and French exams, as well as the French DELF B2 and the German DSDII C1 level exams, and am ready to help tutor in those subjects. I want to help students not only learn the languages but find...

The subjects that I love teaching most are Algebra, Geometry, Life Science, and...

...to focus on how to learn. This means not only how to learn the material but which methods of learning work best for the individual student. As a result, the student will become a stronger, more independent learner. If a person learns how they learn, I believe, they can learn anything, which is invaluable when they dont have access to a tutor or a teacher. I have an Associates degree from Pierce College and a...

...as well. I think by going through the process of having to figure out my own writing process, when it did not fit with the process I was always taught, I can better help those who may have the potential to be good writers get past their own mental hold-ups. I have always found that just simply listening to somebody talk about a subject has done little to make a lesson stick in my mind....

Adaptation to a student's needs is the key to success for both student and tutor. I have ample experience working with students that have learning disabilities: ADD, ADHD, dyslexia,...

...grade, all the way up to college level. I have tutored primarily in math since that was always my favorite subject in school. In high school I took almost every math class available up to AP Calculus AB and BC, which I scored a 5 on both AP tests. Currently I tutor students for fun because I really enjoy seeing the progress that they make over our sessions together and I really love helping people.

Football, basketball, tennis and soccer are my favorite sports, both to play and watch.

I'm a big fan of movies; recent favorites include Lincoln, The Hobbit trilogy, and Interstellar. I...

...experiences outside of academic instruction include 8 years of teaching Kenpo Karate, several years of swimming instruction for noncompetitive swimmers and triathletes, and four years training college and graduate students at annual disaster response training exercises for the Consortium for Humanitarian Service and Education. I apparently aspire to have a resume similar to The-Most-Interesting-Man-In-The-World's. As a teacher, I try to "guide learning" rather than just reciting facts or "teaching at" a student. I believe that...

...although I do tutor up to 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,...

...can best be described as collaborative. Much of the time the problems we will tackle together will be difficult or confusing, and I will guide our work to hone in on exactly where the difficulty lies. While working to use our time efficiently, I also believe that an intense, lecture-driven approach is rarely conducive to fostering an atmosphere of curiosity and willingness to try. Therefore, I will regularly solicit feedback, encourage questions, and assess what...
