I was also a Supplemental Instruction leader for biology and helped students with content outside of the classroom.

I love teaching and believe...

...developed as a Teaching Assistant at Whitworth University, as a youth mentor at West Side Church in Richland, WA, and as an English teacher in Taiwan. As a tutor, my teaching philosophy focuses on helping students to develop the confidence and study skills they need to successfully learn on their own. My interests include history, Chinese culture, science fiction and fantasy, the occasional video game, and hiking. I look forward to meeting new students!... My teaching...

I do math, science, and writing. My goal is to improve my students' subject matter understanding, while also developing creative ways of thinking about the problem at hand.

...courses were AP Calculus and AP Physics, and my favorite courses during undergrad were in Moral Philosophy/Ethics. While at OSU I worked as a Peer Tutor for the University, where I tutored mainly Mathematics ranging from Pre-Algebra to Calculus. I enjoy tutoring math the most; however, that may be due to the amount of time I've spent doing so. I would love the opportunity to tutor a student in less-frequently requested subjects like Philosophy! My...

...forging a personal connection between the student and the material is the key to education. The teacher's job to identify and facilitate that connection and encourage the student's curiosity. People learn best when they want to learn. Information should be manageable and engaging and assignments should fuel a desire to learn more. To do this I will ask my students a lot of questions and listen carefully to all they have to say. My job...

...as if they are approaching their task with no preparation. I would also like to aid in the development of strategies that are applicable to general assignments instead of focusing on learning a subject simply to get a certain grade on a test. I will share my own strategies of time management, relaxation, memorization, and preparation if needed and use those to help build new sets of strategies specific to each student's wants and needs....

I'm a college junior majoring in Creative Writing and Comparative Literature at Emory University. I've worked as a student assistant at the Benjamin Franklin Academy in French and English, and I have ample experience helping students one-on-one or in small groups. I'd like to someday become an English professor. When I'm not tutoring, I love playing board games with my friends, seeing local music or curling up with a good book.

...do some soul-searching. I enjoy reading and writing, being outside and active, cooking and eating good food, playing guitar, climbing rock and ice, and being alive. I am extremely passionate about learning, and love to get people excited about it as well. I like to say that I teach "maieutically;" which comes from the Greek and means "to midwife, or aid in giving birth," in this sense, to an idea. I prefer to ask the...

...in the areas of test preparation, government, philosophy, and religious studies. My passion for education stems from the joy I find in helping students achieve their goals. My teaching style involves asking lots of strategic questions to help students discover answers for themselves, a process which my students typically find quite empowering. Still, I recognize that each student has unique needs, questions, and learning styles, so I strive to listen first and then craft individualized...

...accepted to Harvard, Stanford, UC Berkeley, UPenn, and NYU Law Schools. I most enjoy tutoring subjects that are distinctively analytical, like the LSAT, philosophy, and logic. I think these subjects are a unique challenge to teach because students only develop the necessary skill if they are able critically think through the problems at hand. I thus do my best to guide my students thinking processes, rather than tell them the answers. I spend most of...

...sharing my knowledge and passion for learning with others in the area.I have a knack for explaining complicated ideas to people in simple terms, enjoy deepening people's understandings of issues, and value education highly.

I have two big dogs (an Old English Mastiff and a Newfoundland) and two striped cats. I love to...

...which I took as part of the core curriculum, to be far more interesting. So I followed that passion to three (I'm m still working on the third) graduate degrees. The first was an M.A. in Philosophy from Texas Tech University and the second was an M.S. in Ethics and Public Policy from Suffolk University. After the second Master's I settled in to do some adjunct professor work at Collin College. It's difficult to earn...

...(both mountain and road). Nearly anything that will get me outside, I'm certain to enjoy (rock climbing, hiking, backpacking). Photography is another activity I enjoy, and it goes very well with my "outdoorsy" activities by giving me a way to artistically capture the beauty around me on my hikes. Tutoring is really a great system for reinforcing learning. One-on-one interactions are difficult with how large schools are in major metropolitan areas and individual teaching can...

...passionate about teaching psychology, English/writing, reading, and elementary/middle school math. My individual teaching style is flexible, as I feel it is necessary to cater towards a students unique learning style and needs. I believe confidence and self-efficacy play pivotal roles in a students acquisition of knowledge and ability to learn new concepts. I believe it is crucial to provide encouragement, reinforcement, and support to help students realize their unique gifts and potential. In my free...

Experimenting with different approaches...

All students have the ability to succeed with good instruction and multiple learning touches. My teaching expertise includes grammar/editing, elementary-algebra mathematics, history, writing composition (APA, MLA, and Chicago Turabian), and reading. When I am not working on research, I enjoy playing soccer, art, piano, adventure movies, running races, hanging out with my family and friends,...
