My first introduction to tutoring was in a year off between high school and college. I tutored SAT prep, a subject that causes ire in the eyes of many a college applicant, but was honestly one of the more "fun" parts of my application.

...goal is not to make sure you remember the formula for the volume of a cone ten years from now. It's to help you develop the awareness to budget your time, focus your attention on the problems that are most easily solved, apply a few heuristics that'll shave minutes off of some questions, and be comfortable throughout the testing process. If you do this, you'll give yourself a much better chance of success. The best...

...I usually simplify seemingly difficult concepts into something much easier for the student to understand; therefore, they are able to complete their homework and achieve high test results. My favourite subjects to tutor are math and science. These are also my two personal best subjects and the ones I find most interesting. I believe they are very straightforward with little to no ambiguity involved, which makes them very easy to learn and teach. In my...

...student. I think that is really important because it is very hard for a visual learner to learn from just listening. I also engage the student in learning. For example, having them label a diagram that I have just talked about. Most important -I encourage my students to ask questions, make comments, even disagree with me. I like making math and science come alive for students. I have successfully worked with elementary, middle school, and...

...level of mastery before a big test. With work and focus, we can set goals and achieve them regardless of where we are starting. Because of how different each student is, it's important to really consider what works best for you as a learner. For this, being simple and upfront is probably best. Are you a visual learner? Auditory? Let's start with that and consider what works from there. Knowing how you learn, while also...
