...SAT prep. I have a strong grasp of the approaches necessary to succeed in those areas. It is fun to share those approaches with students and watch the AHA! moments unfold. Why do I teach? Successful learning requires awareness of HOW you think: how you create and organize your own perception. I am fascinated with this meta-thinking, this thinking ABOUT how you think, and I take great joy in helping others gain deeper insight into...

...as an individual and to adjust my own tutoring to fit the way they learn best. I believe that all students have what it takes to succeed in school, its just a matter of finding the style of learning that is most effective for them. What works or makes sense for one student will not necessarily work for the next student, and so it is essential as a tutor to be able to explain the...

...helped other students starting my sophomore year and continued to provide afterschool sessions until I left high school. During my time in college, I have also tutored peers in mathematics (typically Calculus 1-3) as well as general and organic chemistry. My experience in both high school and college includes formal and informal tutoring. 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...

...am enjoying a lot. This past summer I worked with the Tucson Big Brothers Big Sisters picking up donations from all over the area. My teaching style is one that I like to think is extremely adaptable. Every student is different and so are their learning styles and preferences. My goal is to make the subject I am tutoring not only easier but fun. Math is my favorite subject in school and I know that...

...and hope to apply my analytical and communication skills to a career in law or public policy. While attending university, I spent my free time finding ways to positively impact and further educate my community through my involvement as a campus tour guide, writing tutor, sexual assault counselor, and Greek life leader. I love traveling and have visited over 25 different countries and am particularly interested in the ways that writing and culture have symbiotically...

...course. Other tutoring experience comes from volunteering to help my peers in their math and Computer Science classes. I am an avid programmer with experience across a wide range of technologies and languages, including NodeJS, MySQL, C, C++, and Objective C. Most of my experience in Computer Science comes from personal projects and my own curiosity. Learning new things is my favorite pastime, and I'd like to share that feeling with others as much as...

...up teaching it. I believe you need to be patient and understand the student's strengths and weakness in order to effectively teach Math to students. Relating Math to real life examples can make it more interesting and fun for students. I believe my tutoring/teaching experience and desire in teaching math would be beneficial for the student. I love one on one tutoring and enjoy the pleasure of making a difference in the education of my...

I have happily taught math and robotics at the Middle School level for the past 7 years. Before that, I was a Title One math specialist at the elementary level. Going way back, I started my teaching career in an Early Childhood Center, teaching a mix of first and second graders.

...Somali refugees and as a monitor at a French bilingual school, I have immersed myself in the region's splendid diversity. This work as an educator has given me experience developing age-appropriate lessons in a variety of areas, including Reading, Writing, Science, and Math. My cultural agility is the result of interactions with students of various nationalities and socioeconomic backgrounds. Although I would be delighted to tutor many subjects, my passion is English. From an early...

...helped me relate to students: I used to hate school. After high school I promised myself I would never sit through another lecture or crack open a text book. My most hated subject was mathematics. I just refused to sit there and mindlessly solve for "x" fifty times an evening. I did not see the point nor did I care. Naturally, I decided to join the Army. But after being in the service for a...

...comprehend a topic the first time it is broached. I work with students to help them determine the learning style that works best for them. I have never been a fan of memorizing facts, so whenever possible I like to tackle concepts in a manner that will explain the “why.” In my own learning I find I can grasp issues better by breaking them up into small, manageable steps and concepts, so this is what...

...found it to be rewarding work, especially when you are able to see a student truly understand a new concept. Math, in particular, takes patience and practice, which is what I plan to impart and work on with students. Being from Alaska, I really enjoy the outdoors, especially hiking, camping, and kayaking. My friends and family, although spread out, are very important to me. I make a great effort to stay in touch with them...

...have experience working with many different students with many different learning styles. As a tutor at Western, I was awarded Level 1 Certification by the College Reading and Learning 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...

...and taking the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT), widely considered to be the most rigorous of graduate school exams, I further strengthened my abilities in verbal exams, critical reading, and writing at an advanced level. I spend my free time playing soccer, volunteering at the Downtown Emergency Service Center (DESC) homeless shelter, playing the piano, hanging with friends and much more. I love working with people from all walks of life and have also spent...

...both high school and middle school students in Latin. Most recently, I mentored students in a summer program that introduced them to the world of research, specifically to the field of solar physics. One reason that I love physics is that no one understands everything about the subject right away. It’s a complicated science, and we all need help grasping some of its more difficult concepts. This leads to great bonding experiences where friends come...

...degree requirements, I found that I had been mistaken, and I was in fact capable of achieving a level of academic success which I had never believed possible. I have since graduated from Skagit Valley College with an AA in Music and an AA in art, and from the University of Washington with a BS in Electrical Engineering. While tutoring at Skagit Valley College, I received an award for excellence in tutoring in recognition of...

...science lessons, and mentored undergraduate research assistants. As a strong student throughout my formal education, I bring clarity and knowledge of academic subjects. I learned how to succeed in the system of papers, projects, quizzes, and standardized tests, and I look forward helping other students achieve academic success, toousing patience, kindness, creativity, and a sense of humor. I am currently a neuroscience research technician with a passion for photography, travel and spending time outdoors.

...personal experiences, medical center volunteer work, and physician shadowing at Swedish Medical Group. There are still many medical problems in this world that have either too costly treatments, no treatment at all, or are entirely unknown to doctors. My current goal is to aid biomedical researchers in their devising of novel medical technology in the area of stem cell and tissue regeneration. My future goal is to either pursue a Master's Degree and Ph.D in...

...I delight in sharing this with others. Natural sciences (Biology, Chemistry, and Physics) are my favorite subjects, but I also enjoy Math, History, and Writing. 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 not come naturally to some students, but I believe that enthusiasm and persistence are more important than natural...
