I hope to show clarity, professionalism, and respect in helping students master their work and continue to feel eager about learning.

...with finally "click." It is immensely validating for me as a tutor, as well as a triumph for the student. Those moments are the most important of any tutoring session. They help motivate students and give them confidence to tackle the next subject, and promote a deeper understanding of the subject matter that often doesn't occur in class. In a lot of ways, tutoring is a healthy challenge for both the student and the tutor...

...behavioral disorders and as an administrative assistant at a mental health clinic. As a tutor, it is important to me to take an individualized approach and get to know each student's learning styles and interests in order to make tutoring as effective and engaging as possible.

...I have long held a belief that Math is the music of the universe, and would be excited to help with your everyday homework or help you prep for the SAT exam. Math can be just as beautiful as a Mozart Sonata, or a Puccini Aria, and I try to convey not only the knowledge but the excitement that mathematical success can bring. In my spare time, I play Kerbal Space Program, Dungeons and Dragons,...

...I wanted to be a teacher. I was not the best academically, but I was inspired by a teacher I had. He was funny, enthusiastic, caring, and engaging. I wanted to become a similar model for kids. In college, I spent much of my spare time tutoring middle school students in the area, and even college students in their math courses! I enjoy helping people understand things that seem foreign to them.

...students in grades 7-12. I currently hold a teaching license in the state of Minnesota for Math (5-12) and Spanish (K-12). While I can tutor in a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Math and Spanish. I loved studying these subjects in college and relish the opportunity to help a new generation of students love them as well. I call myself an education enthusiast because I believe so strongly in the ability...

...to teaching or tutoring, but I have also been trained in techniques for tutoring all subjects included in standardized tests, especially the SAT. My tutoring style comes from my firm belief that a student will grow when they genuinely have their interest piqued, and the best way to do that is for their instructor to genuinely show passion and interest in the subject in order to pass that excitement on to their students.

...work with students of all levels! I have worked as a math tutor since 2010, and really enjoy working with students to help find contexts that make mathematics more understandable and relatable. Further, I am personally very interested in mathematics, since I will be working in math research/teaching as a graduate student. I became proficient in French in 2013 following high school, after which I have maintained proficiency by taking upper-level French courses and taking...

...have qualified for the National Speech and Debate Association tournament and have helped students write speeches and essays, as well as helping them improve their public speaking skills. I believe in the importance of education. I want to prepare others to reach success in their lives in whatever career or school they go on to.

...mechanical engineering from Stanford University. While at Stanford, I tutored students in both class and individual settings. After graduating, I moved to Tanzania as a Peace Corps Volunteer where I taught hundreds of secondary school students both physics and math.

...mentors. Now, I've been teaching for more than five years and have found a great fit with Connections Academy. I continue to focus on one important attribute to high teacher efficacy, which is the notion that even under the most extreme circumstances, I believe that students can learn math no matter what. In those regards, I realize that students all learn differently and it's my goal to find out who you are and how you...

...only one whos currently in the United States. Though I grew up in the city, my family is not rich, and I am the only one with the highest level of education. My parents were not that educated; my fathers highest level of education was elementary and my mother was a high school graduate. Two of my siblings are high school graduates and the other one is a diploma holder. However, being the last born...

...my strongest one being math (of course) and my most experience in physics. I am comfortable with basically any math subject, but my favorite is calculus. Other subjects that I am able to tutor in are physics, English, Spanish (I took five years of the language), and chemistry. There are probably others that I forgot to include, so feel free to contact me to see if I can help. My tutoring style is very adaptive...

...interests in youth development and leadership, and desires to enrich communities with the feeling of empowerment and confidence. I am very organized, understanding, flexible, engaging, and very fun to work with. I love helping students succeed in their academic and personal goals. I have helped many college students in the past pursue their academic goals and would like to grow a community of motivated, independent learners who are capable of achieving their goals.

My name is MaryJane! I am a physics and chemistry major finishing my senior year of undergrad. After graduation, I plan to pursue a graduate degree in biomedical engineering.
