...distinctively analytical, like the LSAT, philosophy, and logic. I think these subjects are a unique challenge to teach because students only develop the necessary skill if they are able critically think through the problems at hand. I thus do my best to guide my students thinking processes, rather than tell them the answers. I spend most of my free time playing and listening to music. I love most genres, but am particularly keen on the...

...they can get in the way of the learning process. Physically writing something down with a pen or pencil can help your brain retain information better than typing it. I believe in-person learning to be more effective because it allows the tutor to actually experience what a student is like so that the tutor can more easily adjust teaching metods. Though I prefer to work this way, I can't meet every student in person. And...

I graduated with a B.S. in Physics and currently work as an electrical engineer as I pursue my M.S. in Electrical Engineering. I am a scientist at heart and enjoy helping people find their spark in learning. My approach to learning which has helped many students is to teach proficiency in the skill, followed by, or in parallel with, explaining the concept from as basic a principle as the student would like.

I have found that hard classes are best balanced with fun activities. I enjoy reading such as the Harry Potter, Hitchhikers Guide to the...

...prove their point and disprove the opposing view. As such, I believe a humanities class should be more like a chess match and a trial than a blanket remembrance of straight fact. I believe I am best suited for the role because I always put the student first in everything. My #1 idea when I walk into a school is "how will this benefit them?" Nothing else matters to me. Discipline, academic standards, rules, guidelines,...

...teacher I like to find ways to breakdown complicated ideas and make them easier to understand. Being a catechist in the Church enables me to teach religious studies and gives me the opportunity to teach a subject I am passionate about. I tutor, intermediate algebra, math, theology, religious studies, and social studies at Varsity Tutors. My philosophy when it comes to tutoring is that the tutor is a servant leader who enables the student to...

As a building principal in a new district, success was repeated with...

Math is magical when you have the wand. The only big challenge is to find it.... No student would hate Math if explained in his/her "language."... Introductions and assessments.... Using technology and visual explanation.... Listening, assessing and supporting the right ideas.... Encouraging the good steps and motivating the next ones. Finding a victory at every topic.... Lectures, technology, solving problems live, and accepting challenges as the student presents them.... Highlighting his good sides, and helping the...

...past, generally in math, and they told me that it greatly helped them. In my free time, I like to read novels, run, play with my dog, go hiking, do art projects, play the trumpet and swim. In high school I was in band, film club, and track and field. I am a quiet person, but I am a good listener and can explain concepts in terms that are easy to understand.

Now, as a full-time Engineering student, I feel it is my turn to give back and help instill the same confidence that I lacked when I first began my educational journey. When we help each other succeed,...
