That being said, some of the subjects I tutor most are ACT, various branches of math, engineering, reading, and Spanish. I am so grateful for this opportunity to tutor because for me, it doesn't feel like work. I cherish the opportunity to help students...

...excellent communication skills. Teaching has always come easily to me, and my students claim to learn well from my flexible teaching styles. I can effectively relate the material to students' lives so they can understand it in their own terms.

...students as they learned numerous techniques in the lab and completed worksheets during my office hours. As a tutor, I prefer to emphasize general principles over memorizing lots of details; I believe that students gain deeper understanding of the material when they are the ones to draw connections and solve problems. Different explanations make sense to different people, so I am happy to use literal and technical language, analogies, or a combination thereof to explain...

...material and answered questions. I also held weekly office hours in which students were able to get one-on one instruction of the material. Weekly meetings were held with the professor and fellow teaching assistants to discuss students' responses as well as preparing material for the following week.

I...

...is by helping students understand the fundamental skills required for their course, so that they have the tools to effectively solve problems. The most important aspect of many of these courses is to teach the student how to recognize what is being asked of them, and then working on developing the methods for reaching answers with ease. I am very effective at breaking down problems for the student so that they can develop the skills...

I have chosen to tutor because I have a deep understanding of being a struggling student. I have developed crucial tools and techniques that have changed my learning for the better and hope to share those with students to aid in the expansion and growth of their learning journey.
