...college that I realized this passion and strength were driving me towards education. Since then, I've enjoyed working with students of all ages and abilities to further their math skills. I believe that everyone has mathematical abilities and I enjoying working and watching these abilities grow and improve in students. In my free time, I enjoy running with my Border Collie/Lab mix, Sadya, and swimming laps. I tend to spend my evenings knitting or reading.

...part because it's sort of the only way I really learn: I don't really understand a topic until I can teach it to someone else. Because of that, when I was in school I would regularly be tutoring other students. I also spent hours and hours tutoring others over the Internet. For me teaching is an adventure. Everyone has different perspectives, and when you are teaching you have to be able to both provide a...

...teaching. During college, I would tutor my friends in Calculus and Organic Chemistry, both to help them prepare for exams and to master the material myself.

I am especially comfortable tutoring ACT Science and Math, as well as any...

...tangible results. Having taught as the lead teacher in a conventional classroom for ten years, I regularly use my professional skills to tutor outside the schoolhouse.

...the difference for the students. This example made me want to teach later in life. I have experience working with children and teens from my previous job. This job entailed mentoring both current and former foster youth. I was a foster youth myself as a child and could relate to the youth I mentored. From time to time, they would bring in their algebra or chemistry homework and I was glad to help them be...

I am a Finance Major and Biochemistry Minor at Arizona State University. I have helped tutor my peers throughout my educational career. My approach is all about helping the student understand "Why" something works the way it does and not just "How". I have found that this helps students retain information better because it gives them a more complete understanding of the material.

...the value I hold dearest. Rather than tutor for the sake of hours, I hope to spend my time and the time of my clients effectively.

...an examination. As a 23 year old, I am not very far removed from either the ACT or the SAT, and feel as though this will help me better empathize with specific concepts and areas students are struggling with.
