I tutor mathematics and computer science, which I enjoy primarily because of the logic utilized in identifying the problems and applying the correct methods to solve them. In my spare time, I enjoy playing video games, reading, and participating in sports such as soccer, bowling,...

...Before college, I was valedictorian, got 5s on a variety of AP exams and achieved a 99+ percentile SAT score. Right now I'm a web developer! My academic success is linked to the amount I studied; however, I owe the majority of it to the wonderful professors and tutors I've had in my life. They've shown me that everyone has the potential to become a top student. I've been tutoring for over 4 years now...

...students through challenging chemistry, physics, and biology courses. After graduating from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor two years early, I have been spending most of my time doing research. My research projects have ranged from molecular biology, biochemistry, and computational biology to applied chemistry, nanomaterials, and algorithm development. I think that I have received enough experience not only to be an expert in these fields, but also confidently share my knowledge with my students.

...for India where I got the chance to teach students. I believe that teaching requires a lot of hard work and effort as it is very important for the teacher to look at things from the student's perspective. I absolutely love teaching Mathematics and I feel proud to share that most of my students have become Math's wizards even though they didn't like the subject earlier. My teaching pedagogy involves innovative hands-on exercises and discussions...

...love of learning with others and even more so, I enjoy breaking down material in ways that can help others gain confidence and strength in their studies. I believe that everyone has the ability to learn a subject given that they find the correct learning style for their needs. I have a strong background in both tutoring and teaching and would love to help students feel more satisfied with their course subjects.... I believe that the...

...best academically, but I was involved in soccer. This hardship increased due to procrastination. Procrastination is a nasty habit that haunts everyone. That is more reason why I should tutor others. I have a deeper understanding why students struggle in their subjects. I know where the roadblocks are and how to overcome them. I no longer have trouble hearing ever since I undergone ear surgery and changed my life dramatically. I still feel like I...

...no less than their very best, yet there is much more to teaching than just making certain that students answer questions correctly on a test. A teacher must never lose sight of the idea that he is preparing his students to be successful no matter what endeavor they choose to pursue after graduation. Any chance I get to improve the futures of my students will be just as important to them, and to me, as...

...of my inspiration to enter the field of education. I liked Math from an early age, and discovered that I was good at explaining it to others, so it was natural to make it a career. I graduated from the University of California at Berkeley with a major in Mathematics and minor in English, then took my graduate year at UCB to earn my teaching credential. I also teach Nutrition; I have a 700-hour certificate...

I believe that all students can be successful in math when met at their specific ability level.... I like to get to know the student first. "If you have a kid's heart, you have his head." I also start off with basic material for the course to gauge where the student is.... My classroom is entirely self-paced. Students move through material once they've mastered the previous topics. Students find independence through choice. I offer my students...

...the day and love everything having to do with math, science, and computer science. My reason for wanting to become a tutor outside of my day job is to help educate the minds of the future. Learning outside of the classroom is very important. As a tutor, I look forward to being an engaging educator, as well as an important learning asset for each of my tutees. As an educator, I have experience tutoring many...

...pioneered by the international design firm IDEO. While typically used in startups to develop new innovations, I've found it extremely handy in tutoring. Every student is different and so are their difficulties, so a finite set of ways to present a concept or tackle a difficulty is potentially limiting. In my experience, it's much more effective to use an adaptive framework like design thinking to identify the root of students' issues and find/develop a solution...

...only one certificate was data analytics. I enjoy helping other students succeed because in part, it makes me succeed, not only as a tutor, but also as a human being. To add, I tutor German, Italian, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Computer Science and Calculus I. My favorite subject to tutor is Calculus, due to the fact that it has a fearsome reputation for students. Calculus, just like many other difficult problems, can be easily split...

...students. Among those, there were a few exceptionally talented students who did really well in their mathematics courses. With time, I have become more proficient at designing my own teaching methods, bring a hands ??? on approach to learning. I enjoy helping people with math, explaining various math and science topics and related concepts elaborately. I inspire people to love math, by showing them the big picture ??? that is, the use of various mathematical...

...but need to understand how your teacher wants you to work out a problem. I understand that when you hit that wall and nothing seems to work, just having someone explain what you missed in the previous lessons or missed in your notes is a great encouragement. I have tutored students in at least a dozen different online universities. I enjoy tutoring and helping students build confidence in themselves and in their math skills. I majored...

...passion for tutoring began as an undergraduate, where I tutored peers in freshman and sophomore level math classes. While I spent nearly a decade working in industry, I haven't stopped tutoring or teaching in some form ever since. Spending a couple years teaching middle and high school math showed me just how much the one-on-one style of tutoring appeals to me. In this setting, I can meet students at their individual level of understanding, repairing...

...undergraduate career, I was fortunate enough to participate in several research-oriented internships in New York and Maryland. These allowed me to gain invaluable experience and apply my knowledge to real-life applications. In addition, I have experience tutoring fellow classmates in courses such as physics, probability/statistics, and linear algebra; however, my favorite subject to teach is calculus and I've found it to be the most challenging to learn. My philosophy of teaching heavily focuses on practice...

...disadvantaged high school students. What I believe makes me a great tutor are the following: I frequently engage the class, I find ways to make learning fun for my students and give them examples of how their lessons apply to the world we inhabit, and I am very thorough in the material and diligently work, while being patient, to make sure each student is understanding the lessons because I know everyone has a unique way...

...tutor for six years. I have tutored high school and college students in subjects including chemistry, physics, biology, and mathematics (from pre algebra to differential equations). I have also worked at Stony Brook University as a college biology lecturer. I like to use a hands on approach to tutoring rather than just lecturing, although I find it best to adapt my methods to the learning style of each individual student. I love to dance, especially...

...in love with it. I have experience in front of a class, but one-on- one settings help bring out the best of my teaching abilities. I have tutored multiple students in different subjects such as Algebra, English and Spanish, but my passion is mathematics, since I find it very interesting how there are many paths you can reach the same resolution to a problem. I believe Math is for everyone, as long you have the...
