I graduated from the International Baccalaureate Program at Richard Montgomery, and was an AP Scholar with distinction. I love working with people to help promote understanding, especially in the areas of math and science.... Teaching style should strongly depend on the student, else you risk either wasting time...

...to complete a Masters program at Georgetown University in human physiology. Given the amount of schooling I have gone through myself, I have taken a wide range of subjects and more standardized tests than I would like to admit. I have taught students of almost every age in various fields such as elementary science, Hebrew, chemistry, MCAT prep, and many more.. My ultimate plan is to go to medical school, but in the meantime I...

...two hundred students twice a week for three years. I have over 150 hours of teacher training and countless hours in the classroom. Furthermore, I was the editor of our student newspaper, The Daily Cardinal, and have extensive writing-coaching skills in addition to a strong grasp on the English language. I am currently employed by an educational non-profit in Alexandria, Virginia and would like to spend time outside of my regular 9 to 5 job...

...Ultimately, I enjoy teaching because both the student and I can simultaneously improve in a process that never ceases to make us better. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy pretty much any activity that gets me outside, especially if that outside happens to be in the woods or near the beach (I am from Florida after all...). While outside, I usually find myself running (again, in the woods if possible), reading, or attempting to channel...

...engineering in July of 2015. Math is the subject I am most comfortable tutoring. Math is fun for me because it's so concrete, the answers are right or wrong. I guess I mean to say it's an exact science. English is more of an art that is based on opinions in the eye of the beholder and that's why I don't like it as much as math. But that's just my opinion. As a hobby...

Similarly, have 12 years of experience with the SAT, ACT, and ISEE/SSAT, and about 4 years of experience teaching GRE and GMAT.

...and friends. In high school and freshmen year of college, I was on the Speech Team. Getting to know the speech and debate community has been truly amazing, and I know my passions shine through with everything I do. I also enjoy listening to country music, playing badminton, and writing poems. My past tutoring experience includes tutoring elementary school ESL students in basic subjects for 4 years in high school and tutoring spanish in high...

...currently taking a break from the classroom. I specialize in STEM subjects, literature and critical reading, and test prep. I earned my BS in Biology at the University of Dallas - a Great Books liberal arts college. I am a strong proponent of interdisciplinary, self-directed learning. In my work as a teacher, I make it a priority to help my students discover a love of learning, the skills to self-assess their needs and strengths, and...

...Statistics, and Finance. My students have come from various backgrounds, from middle school in suburban New Jersey to graduate school at Harvard. I have a deep love of learning and sharing my learning strategies with a diverse pool of students with an eye toward tangible success. During the week, I research economics and public policy. In my spare time, I enjoy choral music and the many museums Washington DC has to offer.

...the format of the tests. I believe that it is important to impart important concepts and problem solving mechanisms to people because it allows them to learn a process that can be applied to different problems in life outside the exam setting. I definitely try to impart my passion for problem solving onto people I tutor. In my spare time, I enjoy playing and watching most sports but especially basketball, tennis, football, and cricket. I...

...and am working towards a law degree. I've worked in the past as a Business Analyst and teaching assistant for Duke, and these roles have instilled a passion for educating others. I scored in the 99th percentile for both the SAT and LSAT and would like to help teach others how to master these subjects. My philosophy is to make topics as comprehensible and engaging as possible until students become independent learners.... I hope to foster...

...in small town Pennsylvania, and spent a short while living in Vermont while my husband was in school there. I believe my teaching strengths are patience, excitement, and having a multitude of ways to convey information that help you learn. If my initial teaching techniques do not work for you I will find another way- because YOUR learning style is one of the keys to success in education (I've found it's true in coaching, too!)....

...been tutoring professionally since high school and have always loved using my own methods of understanding to help students in whichever way possible. I am a member of NSCS (National Society of Collegiate Scholars) due to my excellent GPA and Phi Theta Kappa. I'm originally from a small country in Eastern Africa called Rwanda but have been raised here in the United States since I was 10, I'm fluent in French and conversational Spanish and...

...Consultant, and I've been a tutor for a DC organization working with students who fall behind in their school curriculums. I love interacting with people and watching students overcome subjects they struggle in and achieve breakthroughs. I consider my style to be collaborative and friendly, while being honest and serious when necessary. After graduation, I plan on traveling to Europe, working in DC, and spending time with family before applying to law school.

...and help them move past it. I have continued to improve this skill and I delight in seeing the aha moment when one of my student understand a difficult math concept. I also enjoy tutoring in english and reading because these are subjects I am very passionate about. In my spare time you can often find me with a book. I want my students to have that same love of reading and thirst for information....

...is). My philosophy around tutoring simply revolves around developing a vested interest in students' successes. I have some knowledge to share, whether it be in SAT/ACT test prep, math, writing, or college apps, and it's fun and satisfying being able to empower others to succeed. In my free time, you'll catch me on my couch (watching a lot of TV -- I'm as sharp-tongued as Lorelai Gilmore), at a pool (playing water polo), at a...

I love working with students. I find it an exciting challenge because there are so many ways to be successful at it and I am looking forward to exploring as many ways as possible to help students learn.... There is no such thing as a bad student. There are only unmotivated ones and it is a teacher and tutor's responsibility to motivate them to learn.... Get to know them to figure out what they like and...

...dancing, playing music, reading, and solving puzzles and problems. I try to have fun and be grateful every day. I enjoy my day job as an IT Specialist with Peace Corps, a federal agency whose values I share and whose work I love. My goal as a tutor is to help students discover their individual path to learning. Students do this by identifying their motivations, strengths and goals. Learning is about exploration, discovery, and growth...
