My long term plan after graduation is to enter grad school, get a PhD in...

Hello, my name is Emily! I graduated from Emory University with a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology. My interest heavily lies in the area of the brain - from how it affects our thought process to the way it maneuvers the movements of our body and our actions. I worked at the National Institute of Mental Health to study Schizophrenia, a disease of...... Open communication with the student and setting realistic goals that...

Whether discussing The Great Gatsby or reviewing the Navier Stokes Equations for fluid dynamics, I am excited to share my enthusiasm for learning with a younger generation. I...

...undergraduate and beginning graduate-level courses! These experiences were so enjoyable to me, as I love explaining the concepts and ideas that pique my curiosity. As a musician, I am pursuing a career as an orchestral conductor and I've spent over a decade playing bassoon in orchestras and chamber music groups. To me, conducting is to music what teaching is to math: I get to guide people's understanding and enjoyment of the music through intimate interpersonal...

Hi! I'm a self-proclaimed math nerd. I have an extensive background as a chemical engineer so I can also help with chemistry and general engineering concepts. I enjoy learning and encouraging others to develop a passion for learning!

...think guiding them to the answer is the most useful way to learn. During my lessons, I usually use prompting questions to help students understand the steps they must take to solve problems on their own. Because of my background, I can quickly diagnose weakness in the areas of math and time management, and I can help them through my guided practice exercises. I enjoy tutoring and working with students, and the success of the...

...different systems and schools during my academic career and was greatly helped by teachers and tutors who were willing to meet me where I was and show me their own passion for the subjects. I would love to do the same for others! I tutored middleschool and highschool students in US and in Saudi Arabia, undergraduate and international graduate students here at George Mason. I enjoy finding out each person's unique way of approaching subjects...

...are already there. The graduate school mentor-tutor is more of an advising type role giving students other ideas to tackle their problems OR how to deal with a "difficult" professor. In the end, it is all about the journey! You can learn all things with time and patience. Most of the time it is confidence that keeps one from learning something new. Most people that succeed have a "never give up" attitude until they grasp...

All any class takes is passion, curiosity, and patience. Math and physics is the language of the universe. Knowing how to read their messages in the phenomena dispersed throughout our daily life is a rewarding experience, from the miracle of flight to the electricity powering the modern world. Come to me with your questions and we'll discover the answers together!

...a STEM enrichment program. It was an Army-sponsored, summer STEM enrichment program for middle and high school students that takes place in participating Army Research Laboratories. I was mentoring and providing support to students in underprivileged communities through STEM education. I would say I love to teach math because it is beautiful. Because structure, symmetry and pattern have an aesthetic that speaks to me. I grew up in an environment that was community-help based which...

...math every day! Actuaries use math to manage risk, whether it's for an insurance company, a pension fund, or a bank. I know first-hand that math is very useful! My goal is for students to develop a conceptual understanding of the math they're learning, so they can understand what the formulas are doing and how they might apply in the real world. Beyond that, the key is practice, practice, practice! Besides doing a lot of...

My methodology is teaching students to think and to diagnose problems, thus helping them to develop strong habits of mind and self-confidence in problem solving. I have thirty-three years of experience in helping learners be successful.

I have a MS in applied statistics and I have been teaching/tutoring AP statistics, college statistics and other math related fields for many years. Some of my students have been accepted into UCLA and other top schools, and some of my clients were also from top schools. Please reach out if you need help with preparing for a test or completing a project.

...scenarios where certain formulas are applied. This approach helps the student remember the equation or even reconstruct it again based on the scenarios discussed. Everything in Math is applied in our daily life but we are unaware of it because we do not pay attention to it but that does not mean it does not exist. After most sessions, I assign few problems for the student to work on them at home before our next...

...as opposed to whole-group. I have worked with all ages, and my most recent experiences have been with middle school and high school students.

...concepts can be very challenging and complex. My teaching philosophy is to simplify these concepts by relating them to every-day experiences. I've found that when students can understand these concepts through real life examples and applications, they become much easier to understand. Science can be hard, there are a lot of details that can make students (and myself!) feel overwhelmed. However, there are fundamental principles that are at the core of each field in STEM....

Thanks to one-on-one help in middle and high school, I not only achieved stronger grades/test scores, but gained the confidence I will continue to use even beyond graduate school. I hope to give others the same invaluable tool set!... The ways I've always preferred to learn myself are typically the ways I teach. Once it seems like a student has a pretty strong understanding of a subject, I like to play competitive or timed games. It...
