...that students are able to perform better in a subject once they are shown problems or the study material in a different way that is more relatable or easier to understand. My teaching philosophy is to try to be as engaging of an instructor as possible--from my own education, I've noticed that teachers who are indifferent, "boring," or too removed from their students often have difficulty motivating their students to try harder and continue learning...

...prepare ABRSM and NYSSMA exams and my students have showed outstanding musicanship, and many of them have obtained high scores from practical piano playing section and music theory section.

I am currently attending the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania. I have experience tutoring children as small as 3 years of age to 18 year olds in a variety of different subjects. Whether it be tutoring someone in reading comprehension or math or biology, one thing is clear: Learning is easy, as long as you are interested and motivated. All you have to do is stay determined and keep thinking, "I CAN DO THIS!"

...at the Language Center. I really enjoy working with people from different cultures and backgrounds. I truly believe nothing improves student performance as much as one-on-one human tutoring.

Everyone learns differently; therefore, each person must be taught in a different way. No matter what the difficulty is, there...

I tutor many science subjects, including chemistry, biology, and mathematics. My favorite subjects to...

...from Rutgers University, New Brunswick. I pursued two majors at Rutgers: history and psychology. My history curriculum revolved around a global perspective, within which I learned to engage and analyze historical narratives through a comparative framework.

I am a member of Phi Alpha Theta, a nationally...

...experience and five years as a professional sailor, I have a lot of appreciation for how the world around us works. From the simple process of doubling a recipe, to finding the optimum angle between wind and current to win a sailing race, to deeper questions about the workings of the cosmos, I hope to help students understand and internalize just how important (and useful!) an education in math and science really is!

...As a pre-medical student, I have a deep love for the sciences but I also love learning new things. My favorite subject to tutor would be Spanish but I am also proficient in English, Writing, Biology, and Algebra. I have been tutoring for four years and have experience tutoring elementary to high school students. I believe that when tutoring I should allow students to explain their confusion so that we can work together towards the...

...literature, and other adaptive strategies for sharing our stories. But I especially love helping my students and peers to explore their interests, generate ideas for research, and pursue them with the necessary tools and guidance that I hope to provide. I received my BA (with honors) from Dartmouth College in 2016. Though I arrived to Dartmouth as an environmental engineer (I still love math!), my interests in community development and historical research methods prompted my...

I am most knowledgeable in the field of Chinese language, and spent my junior year abroad in China participating in intensive language programs in Beijing and Shanghai.

I understand how difficult learning this language can...

...curiosity, creativity, guided intuition, and encouragement. As someone who was a student-athlete for over 10 years, my approach involves a creative team-based effort to overcome struggling points seemingly impassable alone. As someone who has struggled with math intensely during my time at university, the approach I use to help others overcome their math struggles are a result of direct experience and analysis of its effectiveness. The shy student does not learn, and the impatient teacher...

...and start to see how big the world becomes as they advance to higher reading levels. My philosophy is simple: keep it fun, and help the student to become self-motivated. Once a student sees that learning can be joyful, rather than painful, they will look forward to honing their skills and tackling increasingly difficult areas of a given subject. I have previously taught: reading to five-year-olds, essay writing to college students, English and Spanish as...
