...requested subjects like Philosophy! My teaching philosophy is a mix of formal training and personal methods. I earned Level II certification from the Collegiate Reading and Learning Association (CLRA) while tutoring for OSU, which taught me the methods needed to effectively relay information to students. As a philosophy student I also utilize the Socratic method while tutoring, which focuses on asking students questions in order to get them to reach their answers. Throughout my experience...

...Association. My favorite subjects to tutor are Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, and Physics, as I feel that they offer the student the best opportunity to witness real life applications of Mathematics. As a tutor, it is my goal to keep students engaged in learning. As such, instead of simply answering the questions that are posed to the student, I ask deeper questions and lead them to a fuller understanding of the core concepts. In my spare time,...

...graduation from undergrad, I have been working as a tutor for Highline Community College and volunteered in many hospitals to gain experience in the health care profession.

...lifetime journey that can be pursued through many paths. Curiosity is a wonderful thing and should always be fostered. There is a great big world out that that needs to be explored. Always be seeking, improving, and wondering. I have taught middle school for 17 years and try to pass on my love of learning to each and everyone of my students. I believe all students can be successful learners, although they may learn best...

...I discovered that I had a knack for not just teaching, but warming up to and befriending students. I did not think of tutoring as a relationship between student and tutor, but as a friendship where both the student and I can grow as individuals.

...craft. Because of this, it is in my best interest to optimize my teaching style and habits whenever I organize a session. I dabble in epistemology, which is the study of knowledge, and am very intent on streamlining studying skills. I can definitely teach subject matter in the short term, but I'm also looking to teach people how to learn effectively in the long run. My sessions involve a lot of "think about this idea...

...tutoring style deconstructs concepts in a way that students can personally relate to, and by using visual analogies, I demystify the math between the atoms while not reinforcing memorization like many instructors. Because of my success, my students often told me that I should be the teacher. So I decided to do just that and am now on the fast track to become a high school Chemistry teacher. After college, I worked at a pathology...

I am currently a neuroscience...

...students to succeed. I tailor lesson plans to different learning styles and abilities. With the extra attention I give, my students consistently tell me they have learned more than they ever thought possible for themselves. Many of my students once nervous about math or science went on to major in these subjects in college with great success. They just had to get over fears and mental blocks. I have flexible hours and diverse teaching and...

...I have recently moved to Seattle from the East Coast, and I am enjoying getting to know the ins and outs of the city and the different culture Seattle has to offer.

Much of the aforementioned experience pertains to one-on-one or small-group tutoring. In addition to enjoying tutoring, I also enjoy seeing my students succeed.

I have been working with children in schools, daycares, summer programs, and afterschool programs for 13 years. I hope to use my diverse experiences to foster communities of joyful and eager learners.... I believe that each student travels on their own unique path to knowledge.

...major in philosophy and a minor in mathematics at the University of Washington, I was fortunate to be exposed to very different learning and teaching styles. I also learned to appreciate that very smart people can think in very different ways from each other and that people who are outstanding at some subjects inevitably need help with others. I always bring this insight to bear on tutoring, where I work together with the student to...

The U.W.'s approach made all students, in all majors, take a wide variety of courses. Exactly as intended, this liberal education proved how knowledge in nearly any subject enhances understanding in many others. Exposure to a broad range of subjectsthe arts...

...a strong background in mathematics, statistics, economics, ecology and environmental sciences. I have 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.
