...kept office hours for all accounting courses. During my last job I taught the new associates various software and tax topics. While learning business concepts I believe it is very important to see the big picture. It can be very easy to get lost in the details of calculations, but its important to understand how everything fits together. When not working I enjoy sailing all around the Seattle area as well as hiking. I also...

...end result is not only a better grasp of a subject but also a stronger sense of self-empowerment anytime they tackle something new. I grew up in Lake Tahoe, CA, where my winters were spent in skis and my summers were spent in swimsuits. I also enjoy hiking, soccer, and just about anything else that involves being outside. I'm a recent transplant from California, so on a rainy day, you'll probably find me inside with...

...and anxiety of standardized test taking is fresh in my memory. For students preparing to take the SATs, ACTs, or GREs - I feel your pain! Together we can work through the daunting process of analyzing your areas of strength and opportunities for growth and put you on the path towards the score you want. When I am not tutoring, I hope to be exploring the great outdoors and getting to know the Pacific Northwest....

In the fall I will be starting a program in Speech and Hearing Sciences, and plan to follow up with a masters in Speech Language Pathology.

...College. I tutored analytical and creative writing and gave lectures and facilitated discussions on creative writing, visual art, architecture, music, and dance.

On the side, I am a performer in local dance, theater and film productions, and I enjoy creating my own performance...

...it. I mean that I fell IN LOVE with math. Instead of viewing it as a chore, I began to delve deeper into the meaning of the numbers, variables, and symbols, and had the desire to find out more on my own. But it did not come easily. I had to work for hours every evening, rewrite my notes, copy proofs in the text, find other texts with different presentations of the material, and watch...

...they emphasized overseas university placements. I taught AP Economics (Micro & Macro) for 2+ years, IB Economics SL/HL for 2 years, IB Business & Management HL for 2 years, and Pre-calculus for 2 years. During my years of teaching, using real world examples played a tremendous role when teaching new theories to the students. Furthermore, I believe in repetition when it comes to test preparations so that students can become comfortable with not only the...

...easier and less intimidating. I have years of experience with reading comprehension, essay writing, critical analysis (including the identification of tone, argument, style, etc), argumentation, and editing, and a strong record of working well with my students. My style of teaching is pretty low-key, and I strongly believe in the power of communication and open discussion to make sure that my students and I are able to find the best ways to achieve their academic...

...English. In the past few years, my work has been almost exclusively in educational settings with youth. I spent five summers at a summer camp devoted to social and environmental justice, working with all age groups and doing everything from managing a day program to leading extended backpacking trips. I spent a year working as a wilderness therapy field guide, helping students achieve a breakthrough in their personal lives in a backpacking setting in central...

...taught mathematics and statistics courses for over 30 years to students in a variety of life sciences curricula . Teaching (more importantly, educating!) is my passion. I believe that teaching statistics and math should result in real-world, useful applications of the material. I use a socratic method of questions/answers to encourage critical thinking and problem solving skills. I am also a retired professional fire fighter with over 29 years of fire service. In my spare...

I am a junior at the University of Washington in the Civil and Environmental Engineering major. I have helped all three of my siblings with their math homework, as well as tutored math in high school. I teach snowboarding to elementary age kids in the winter, and in the summer, I assist at a science camp for the same age group. I love helping out and bringing more people into the STEM classes. ... I want...

...in Texas, went to college in Nebraska, and have found a home in Seattle. I received my B.S. in Architectural Engineering with an emphasis in Electrical/Lighting at the University of Nebraska. While in school, I worked as a teaching assistant in Electrical Engineering while also informally mentoring and tutoring other students in my dorm. I found that motivating and helping others to understand material is one of my most rewarding experiences of my college career,...

...I really enjoy the outdoors, especially hiking, camping, and kayaking. My friends and family, although spread out, are very important to me. I make a great effort to stay in touch with them as often as possible. At the moment I'm taking a break after a year or two of working in engineering to enjoy the Pacific Northwest and pursue a few personal interests. I love to travel, and I'm hoping to find a cool...

...undergraduate work in biology at Macalester College and earned a PhD in Microbiology at the University of Washington. I am also interested in pedagogy (the study of how students learn and how to teach) and regularly participate in pedagogy journal clubs and conferences. While I don't have any formal training in marine biology, I've picked up a lot of information during my time at the aquarium and love to discuss it. (Be careful, if you...

...degrees in multicultural education to transform pedagogy and curricula, especially around topics of history, language, and identity. At the same time, I also love all things scientific and nerdy. Foreign films, travel, personal narratives, role-playing games, tropical beaches, hiking, and yoga are some of my interests. My pursuit of knowledge is to deepen my understanding of natural and social phenomena, which I believe allows me to be a more compassionate individual. I look forward to...

...becomes more enjoyable and effective when content is connected with examples of application. Finding funny, memorable ways to apply course content is my favorite way to internalize the material. I view learning as equipping myself with different tools to better understand the world. With this attitude, studying became truly exciting for me, and making education more accessible and fueling curiosity have become my passions. In my free time, I like to indulge in my hobbies:...

...I love camping, hiking, backpacking, and I recently got into rock climbing. As a tutor, I believe it is my job to provide supplemental instruction that is tailored to my students' needs and learning style. Listing to a teacher explain how to solve a math problem is not everybody's favorite way to learn. Sometimes it just takes someone willing to patiently answer any and all questions. Sometimes it requires someone to show a different technique....

...and rocks during recess). I did what I like to call the "Nerd Trifecta" in high school: math team, knowledge bowl, and science olympiad. I've tutored since I was in middle school, and I love finding an explanation or analogy to help someone else really grasp a concept! I'm applying to grad school now, and in my spare time I love cooking and baking (it's vaguely scientific, right?). I rowed in high school and college,...

...and cultures. I've been involved in mentoring and training, not only my sales staff and administrative personnel, but also to educate the potential customers about the services or products I might have been promoting at the time. I developed a program of monthly training technical seminars to Customers, that I also took to the University in Argentina, giving conferences to senior - soon to graduate - students throughout the country. I always felt comfortable in transferring...
