...in Multidisciplinary Engineering at Purdue University. I have four years of experience tutoring students in Chemistry, Physics, English, and high school mathematics. I love tutoring students in all subjects because I want to give everyone the opportunity to understand complicated concepts. I am a very visual person, so I can adapt written or abstract material into something students can actually see. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy hiking, playing the viola, and binge-watching TV shows.

...Impairment. I am very passionate about helping children learn and grow! I have known that I wanted to be a teacher since I was in second grade! I have been working with children of varying ages and abilities for about 8 years now, through babysitting, being a camp counselor, and student teaching. I will be starting my first year of teaching as an elementary teacher at the Ohio State School for the Blind in Columbus,...

...but boost their confidence, enhance their strengths and recognize as well as work on their weaknesses. When tutoring, I teach students how ask the appropriate questions to help them solve their problems. I start by asking leading questions and get the student to reason through the problem rather than simply showing them or having them memorize procedures. This method gets them to be an active participate and not merely an "audience of one." I believe...

...It is my interests that keep me motivated, so I believe that it is important to make problems interesting or relevant to students, even if they do not consider themselves 'math people.' I value the humanities as well, and it is my experience as a guitar student and instructor that makes my approach to tutoring unique and valuable to students. My interests extend to philosophy and history of science, and even ecology! This diversity allows...

...And I believe that every student thinks and learns very differently. Therefore, I know that not every approach will work with each and every student. I am willing to find the best method of learning for each student I come across. I especially like to make learning fun and easy to understand. I feel that visual aids are some of the best ways to understand a question and answer. I love experiencing that "ah-ha" moment...

...and work as a role model for becoming a lifelong learner. I am passionate about both what I tutor and tutoring itself! I excel in communication, have lots of patience, and am not afraid to make studying entertaining. Many of my students have complimented me on my way of finding fun ways to remember or visualize things, breaking down an instructor's rather "cryptic" assignment, and gradually incorporating study habits into our sessions.

...to reason through complex problems and to analyze and model quantitatively. In 1998, I also completed a Masters degree in Byzantine Music Theory and Vocal Performance at the Conservatory of Music in Athens, Greece. My focus was on the ancient ecclesiastical art form known as the Psaltic Art. The division of time, tempo and the musical scales, intervals and notation involved date back to the Byzantium and are quite mathematical, to say the least.

...reading is an author study on Mo Willems( the author of Don't Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus!) We are getting ready for our unit end puppet show. Math is fun when we do our fraction unit! Cutting pizza and candy bars into halves/thirds or whatever and then getting to eat it! My favorite subject to teach is writing! When I am not teaching, I am the day camp director for a country club in...

...with the preparation that goes into taking standardized tests and completing pre-college curriculum, and I try to teach these subject in ways that are applicable throughout a student's education down the road.

I have the most experience teaching Envisions for math, but I am...

A former math tutor at Kumon (an after-school enrichment center), I have taught levels of mathematics ranging from basic arithmetic through advanced calculus to students of all ages. It is my belief that knowledge is very much like a tree. Without a trunk and branches, there is nothing for the twigs and leaves to hang onto. As students...

...the student seems to have grasped the content, I usually create sample problems and make the student answer them and walk me through the explanations. I understand that not all students will know exactly what they need help with either, so in those cases, I do an all-comprehensive review and gauge the student's understanding as I progress. Aside from tutoring, I enjoy spending time with my friends, as well as reading or painting! I also...

...finance is often that language that allows anyone to understand how a business is performing. I really enjoy helping students identify the challenges they have in their business classes and then conquer those challenges.

...visual, video clips, and construction of models. Once I acquire my master's degree, I will pursue my dream of being a college professor. I have a very student-centric approach, where I can identify the issues that the student is having and create ways to get them over the hurdle they are currently experiencing. My specialties are English, writing, proofreading, and the hard sciences (biology, physiology, neuroscience, genetics, evolution, etc). My favorite subjects are neuroscience and...

...comes to tutoring, I always do my best to explain the concepts being taught in terms that my student can understand and apply. In order to accomplish this, I may use analogies, visual aids, practice problems, mental exercises, incentives such as breaks and snacks, and/or whatever else I believe will be beneficial to the student's understanding of the subject. If hired, I will encourage and motivate the student, further explaining concepts as necessary to best...
