...more than instilling the same passion for learning I have in other people. I am currently working on a Bachelors of Science in Biology at Arizona State University, so Biology is certainly my strong suit. I am also currently working for the Social Insect Research Group (SIRG) at ASU doing Genetics work on a local harvester ant species. I love research and I love teaching individuals, especially when the information I am providing is not...

...an MA in German and continental philosophy. While this area is fascinating in itself, I am very thankful for my philosophical education because it has also sowed within me a deep commitment to teaching, teaching that aims not only for understanding, but also for creating and encouraging interest in specific topics and in learning itself. While I agree that the goal of teaching is to help someone learn a certain topic, the greatest achievement in...

...Science. For the past five years I have been teaching a variety of courses in the Humanities and Social Sciences at Temple, including American Politics, Political Theory and Philosophy, Politics of Identity, Race and Gender Studies, Research Methods and Statistics. During this time I have worked with hundreds of students from every conceivable background to ensure that their educational experience is the best it can be. I also worked closely with students to improve their...

...Philosophy. I work in research related to quantum cosmology and the philosophy of time. I have years of experience teaching and tutoring in math, science, and literature at the high school and university level. By a comprehensive study and mastery of the ACT test, I achieved a composite score of 35 on the exam. I enjoy sharing the techniques and strategies I used to score in the 99th percentile, knowing that all student can increase...

...future assignments within the specific class and other courses. While my passion for learning is a driving force in my life, I have a few other interests and hobbies. Music is one of my primary interests: I've played piano since the age of six, I used to play cello, and I am an active singer who participates in Colorado Chorale, one of Denver's prestigious choirs. Likewise, I also used to participate in musical theater productions,...

...After finishing my Bachelors, I moved to Boston and completed two Masters Degrees in Religion, Philosophy, and Ethics at Boston University. I have taught classes, tutored, been a Teachers Assistant and a Research Assistant at two different graduate Universities. I am primarily interested in Religious Studies and Philosophy, but I also love to tutor literature, writing, special education, and research methods. Whenever I tutor, I make sure it is a fun and enjoyable experience. After...

...a high value on education, which has led me to seek a career in teaching and tutoring. I am currently a substitute teacher for Clark County School District, predominately working with grades K-8. I have experience tutoring with two different institutions, as well as on a private basis. I am a graduate of the University of Nevada Las Vegas. I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and also received a...

...excellent habits and techniques that occur within physical exercise. An individual can lift weights for an extended period of time, but without proper form, the benefit gained would be minimal. A runner can train solely by running twelve miles the day before her thirteen mile race, but that would be highly ineffective. The best athletes know to seek out the proper techniques for improvement, and apply their efforts towards utilizing those techniques. Similarly, for you,...

...to get them to reach their answers. Throughout my experience tutoring I've found that engaging a student in dialogue about the question at hand is far more successful than doing all of the talking. There's no better way of ensuring that a student understands the material than getting them to put it in their own words! Beyond my passion for learning and teaching I'm a huge sports fan who rarely misses an Ohio State football...

...to organize an essay with color-coded note-cards for an extremely visual learner. Finally, I love the collaborative, communal nature of successful private tutoring, as parents, tutors, regular teachers, and other members of a student's support system come together to ensure the student's academic and personal needs are met. To learn more about this process and to build upon the assistance I can offer students, I will be a Master of Social Work (A.M.) candidate at...
