...classroom leader comes mostly from volunteer work. Throughout high school I ran a math enrichment program for underprivileged middle schoolers, volunteered as a classroom aid, and worked with young children on literacy skills through a program called Jumpstart. I love teaching, which is why I pursued a position as a counselor at a German immersion summer camp. It is currently my third summer, and I have learned so much about immersive teaching and learning language...

...I can generally find applications that can help make a mathematical concept we are working on meaningful. Applications come from all sorts of places: geometric progressions relate to growth of money in a bank account, Newtons laws of mechanics can be related to baseball and combinations and permutations used in probability have applications in gambling, investing, and believe it or not, deriving the ideal gas law, used in chemistry, physics and thermodynamics. I hope I...

...new understanding. I've tutored continuously for the past two years (as well as while I was in high school), and I've found that helping students see these connections vastly increases their curiosity and engagement. Cooking is probably my biggest hobby, and while it may seem unrelated to traditional academics, the topic has helped me teach about chemistry, biology, botany, ethics, sustainability, history, language, and more. It is this sort of approach that I find is...

...During my time there, I led a few different projects, including a theatre festival, so I am well-versed in leadership, presentation, and public speaking.

I am an actor/director/theatremaker first and foremost. I believe in the power of the voice and that everyone has...

...an undergraduate student in Literature, and learned quite a bit during my time at Vanderbilt, there's still more work to be done. I am working towards a Master's degree, and will continue on from there. Though I am more than happy to help where needed anywhere from K-12, I am most experienced with test prep tutoring. The SAT and ACT tests can be an extremely stressful event for students, especially first time test-takers, so I...

I love finding ways how to make learning accessible for everyone by using a variety of methods and activities. Finally, the past year I...

I have extensive experience tutoring and mentoring children, teenagers, and young adults, including those with developmental and/or learning disabilities. These experiences have taught me to approach every new student as a unique individual with her or her own slew of strengths, limitations, and learning styles.

...me into teaching. I taught Physics at several schools in California before my life took a different direction, though in my corporate work I have always relished the opportunity to help teach my colleagues technical skills. My teaching philosophy centers on an individualized approach, with a strong emphasis on cognitive modeling as a tool to enable students to learn how to reason through a problem - a vital skill, not only in math and science,...

I soon became advanced in all my math classes, skipping through algebra two into trig in my first year of high school. I even started to tutor other students and family members. My goal is to leave no student behind and...

I primarily tutor math and reading and enjoy helping students gain a concrete understanding of the abstract concepts often present within those subjects.
