...physics and mathematics student from the University of Rhode Island. There, I discovered the teachings of renowned physicist Richard Feynman which, compressed, might read: "if you really understand something, then you can explain it to your grandmother." I spend a lot of my free time reading and writing, and am currently working my way through Dubliners, a series of stories by James Joyce. I also play guitar and know upwards of several hundred songs.

With my time almost up as an undergraduate, I want to continue doing what I have enjoyed in high school:...

...goals! My teaching philosophy is holistic, so I modify my style based on the individual while being patient and empathetic along the way. There are a number of different reasons why someone might not be improving in a certain subject, so I try to learn more about students so we can troubleshoot and empower them to take an active role in understanding what is and isn't working for them. I have experience tutoring a variety...

...to help others. I enjoy helping others because seeing them happy, makes me happy. In high school, I decided to run my own tutoring services, where I helped middle schoolers with their language levels, both English and Spanish. I also tutored in the math field. When it came to Algebra, I also frequently tutored my high school friends. One efficient strategy that worked for me was having the person I tutored, tutor me back. Having...

I have an extensive experience of over two years in teaching ESL students from the age of 5-18 privately. I have worked on reading comprehension, writing skills and exam preparation with my students, depending on their levels and needs.

...a minor in Spanish - including a 4 month study abroad in Spain which has fueled my passion for Spanish language and culture! Through tutoring I've enjoyed helping students with all different learning styles. I am very patient, and I love to see my tutees improving their skills and growing confidence with their knowledge.

I've also worked at the Smithsonian summer camps as a counselor for a programming camp and digital arts camp. Outside of academics, I'm in MIT's all female a capella group, the MIT Muses,...

...Toulouse, France. During my semester abroad, I worked as an English tutor for two French girls. I like to focus my knowledge of romance languages on creating a personalized teaching style for each and every student I tutor. I start off each session by assessing what the student has been learning in the classroom. After that initial assessment, I work with the student to improve the areas where most help is needed. As sessions progress,...

...(for myself it was an SAT score and college admissions essays) but also who they are. Tutoring had a huge impact on my confidence in the classroom and other academic settings (i.e. testing, presentations, etc.) My greatest wish is to pay it forward. I am a passionate learner of developmental and abnormal psychology, with aspirations to become a clinical child psychologist in the future. I have years of volunteer and work experience as a camp...

...a Foreign Language and in Mandarin Chinese. With each of my past tutees I have worked to not only enhance their understanding of the curriculum, but also to help them find the motivation, study skills, discipline and joy that are necessary to truly excel in the classroom. I would be thrilled to bring that attitude to work with your student; I believe that good teaching means "working with" rather than "talking at," and that students...

...Exam in July 2013. During my time at American University, I excelled at legal writing, and my work was published in the Administrative Law Review. My older brother is autistic and my younger brother is seven years younger than me, so I grew up helping them with homework and various other challenges.

I want to create an environment where students are free to ask whatever questions they have. ** I'll be available until January...

...high school. I've helped students with reading, writing, algebra, some earth science, and some history homework. Since then, I've tutored elementary school, middle school and high school students. As a child, I grew up with life threatening food allergies. When I was in elementary school, I experienced anaphylaxis for the first time in living memory. I also faced times when people shunned me due to their fear of harming me. As a result of my...

...me to complete my education up to the terminal degree of a PhD in Physiology (Neuroscience, Diabetes, Obesity). In this regard, I hold dearly the teaching philosophy that a teacher has to excel in three main domains, specifically that of an instructor, a mentor, and a professional. To enhance the educational experience of students, a teacher in the biological sciences has to possess an exceptional skill in creating the appropriate course sequence to teach complex...
