...is not a solo one, and I am grateful for the opportunity to share what I know in a way that inspires and educates students. My passion for education stems from a desire to become more aware of the world around me and to help others do the same, whether in the form of writing a paper, passing a test or understanding new concepts. My favorite subjects to tutor are biology or writing. In my...

...college career, I was a part of several study groups and helped classmates with their writing informally, but during my senior year, I tutored another student formally in their chemistry class. Becoming a tutor for the first time made me realize how much I valued and enjoyed teaching.

...school students through the Dream Project. As a tutor, my main duty is to work with a student as an individual and to adjust my own tutoring to fit the way they learn best.

What works or makes sense for one student will not necessarily work...

My tutoring style is to ask leading questions and offer hints to help my students make their own connections between what they already know and the new material they're tackling. I've found that people tend to be much smarter than they think they are. Often all it takes is somebody to point out the similarity between that difficult subject you're struggling with and a concept that...

I am very familiar with US and Comparative Government due to having worked as an outliner for the AP books. Teaching is a personal endeavor and...

...favorite subjects might also be plant biology, animal behavior, or evolutionary biology. I also love to help with writing essays or lab reports for biology classes, because good science needs to be communicated clearly to be useful. My teaching philosophy is that everyone can be successful. The same strategies won't work for everyone, and certain subjects might be harder for some people, but hard work and good studying skills will always be more important than natural...

I would be delighted to tutor students in any subject, and I am happy to help with standardized test prep, study habits and time management, college applications, and much more. Science may...

...combines Geology, Biology and Chemistry. I love thinking about science and learning how the world works. Studying a topic that combined many different sciences allowed me to spend time learning as much as I could about these fun subjects. During graduate school I had the opportunity to teach classes in my department as well as work with high school students in my research lab and I realized that working with students as an instructor and...
