...last year, and next August I will be going to graduate school for an MPH in epidemiology. I???ve been accepted to Emory and University of Michigan-Ann Arbor so far, and I???m waiting on the other schools I???ve applied to. I???m really excited to start my career in epidemiology, and I???m not even sure how I???ll decide which school to attend! I???ve been tutoring since 2009; for the last six years, I have privately tutored junior high...

...I've had particular success with closing the gender gap for my classes. On average, boys do 12% better than girls on their standard tests in science and math, but in my classes, there was no gender gap. All students did significantly higher than their school wide and statewide peers. I attribute this primarily to the ideas of teaching for understanding, using a gradual release of responsibility in solving problems, and teaching problem solving skills.... I believe...

I want to help students understand math and science on a deeper level and build good mathematical and scientific intuition. I work closely with my students to find ways to teach that best complement their learning style.... I want to help students understand that learning for its own sake is more important than learning for any grade, test, or assignment.... I want to get to know the student personally, their strengths and weaknesses, hobbies, favorite and...

...at The Ohio State University studying computer science engineering with a math minor. STEM education was very important to me in my own schooling and I believe every student should try to study STEM subjects. In teaching algebra, calculus, and physics, I like to go in depth with the material to ensure students really understand why the material works. There is a certain beauty in science and math and I encourage students to discover this...

...teaching. I discovered the ultimate way to assess if you really know something is whether or not you can teach it to someone who may not be familiar with the subject matter. This a great challenge, but I enjoy it. I love to see the look on a person's face when they "get it." I have also found that I too learn new things about the subject that I may not have known before. This...

...several years, I have worked with students from diverse backgrounds and experiences tutoring thermodynamics (my personal favorite), chemistry, and math. I have also tutored in the past for ACT/SAT and other subjects such as history, but I am deeply passionate about science and engineering. I tend to push my students to understand conceptual topics, as opposed to rote or algorithmic learning. In my free time, I love to bake sourdough, learn about history, garden, and...

...is something so unexplainably gratifying in seeing one's frustration in not understanding a concept turn into excitement once he/she has grasped it. In order for a child to succeed, it is key that they are helped through this frustration stage so that they can regain the confidence to tackle any problem put before them. I found it very important to not only help the children I tutored to rebuild their confidence, but to also let...

...was also a peer tutor in the Center for Student Progress. I am going to be starting medical school this fall. Before college, I was also a babysitter/tutor for elementary school children in math and reading. I have extensive experience in SAT, ACT, and MCAT prep, a love of physics, and expertise in tutoring from elementary to college level students. I hope to use these to help as many clients as possible on the Varsity...

...and help them build and enhance their number sense/fluency. Many students were afraid to struggle or make mistakes. I help to build their confidence and reassured them that mathematicians will make mistake and struggle from time to time. My job as an educator has always been to motivate students to become independent thinkers and confident learners. These are the qualities they need to have in order to be successful individuals in society.

...University and Cleveland State University. Currently, I am working towards a degree in Special Education. My experience with tutoring dates back to high school in 2009 when I attended the Teacher Education Exploration program at Lorain County Community college to supplement my high school classes. Through that program, I began to teach, tutor, and mentor students of all grade levels K-12. In college, I have taken several courses on tutoring, as well as courses, on...

My overall philosophy of teaching is simple: I hope to make the students whom I interact with more curious and interested in the biological sciences, through storytelling and engaged learning. My emphasis is that Science is exciting, dynamic, and fun, not dull dry textbook!

I am a MBA/CMA with over 30 years of both industrial accounting (Controller and CFO) of many midsized industrial companies. I addition I have taught (primarily as an adjunct at both 4 year and community colleges.

...taughtet everything from Kindergarten to Eighth Grade. My favorite part of working with students is seeing that "Ah-Ha!" moment. I love learning about my students as a whole so that I can make instruction as relevant as possible to them. In my free time I enjoy staying active by rowing, a sport I came to love in my early years of college. I have also served as an Academic Mentor to the John Carroll Rowing...

...EARLY in the morning. I love to travel and before COVID I would travel 2-3 times a year out of the country to new places. I just returned from Zambia, where I completed grant-work with local game rangers focused on the illegal wildlife trade. I also spent some time in Tanzania summitting Mount Kilimanjaro. My interests keep me pretty busy, so if I have some downtime, I won't say no to a good nap. :)

...high school, I taught my school's journalism program. I designed lesson plans, gave lectures, graded homework assignments, and led my class in producing a paper that was ranked best in south-central Alaska by the Anchorage Daily News. All the while, I was working to keep highly-motivated, high-performing students interested and engaged while ensuring that students who needed more attention received the care and assistance they required. Over those two years, I developed an interest in...

...them to graduate with engineering degrees. Everyone learns differently. I strive to identify the learning style that works for each student and build success from their platform. I hold the following degrees: Doctor of Philosophy in Applied Mathematics, Brown University Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Brown University Master of Arts in Pure Mathematics, Duke University May 1992, Bachelor of Arts in Physics, Duke University Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, Cleveland State University Minor in...

...is a gift that no one can take away. "American Proverb" I am excited for the opportunity to work with students with a willingness and desire to learn. Looking back I would not be where I am today if I did not have other who believed in me and invested their time to help me succeed. It is my hope that by helping you in a subject or area that is challenging that I can...

I believe with sincere EFFORT from myself and my future students, we will make gains that will surprise us both. I enjoy working with children and watching them make real world connections to Reading, Math, Writing, Science, and Social Studies. When a child makes connections, they have better retention of their subjects. Learning takes hard work and should be fun, and I'll do my best to make sure that no time will be wasted.

...college. Throughout my journey to medical school I have taken an abundance of science classes (biology, biochemistry, general and organic chemistry, as well as physics). During this process I have experimented with different learning and studying styles to help myself excel in each class which has also helped me with students that I tutor. The understanding of different types of learning has allowed me to deliver instruction to others on the most personalized level possible.
