...fall. I have consistently played the role of a student mentor throughout high school and my undergraduate experience. My main objective when guiding students, whether their goal is to determine a fitting career path, ace an in-class exam, or prepare for a grueling standardized test, is to instill self-confidence in them. I try to not only help them develop lifelong critical-thinking skills, but also urge them to assertively believe in their personal abilities. If students...

I attended UCONN and graduated with a BS in Agriculture (CANR). I've done many jobs in my life (milking cows, counseling the unemployed, supervising summer work crews, guiding trail rides...) and, oddly enough, they all involved teaching in some way. Well,...

...problem solve with friends, often taking the lead or sometimes sitting back and getting help myself. Further, I have experience as a referee for soccer and basketball, working with kids of all ages helping teach them the game of soccer and ensure all follow the rules and have a good time; this is the mindset I will take to tutoring these subjects. Every time I experience a new subject, I develop a passion for spreading...

...and seven years on a volunteer basis, specializing in math and science education. I also worked as a curriculum designer for an SAT tutoring firm. I enjoy tutoring because I am strongly against the practice of teaching to the lowest common denominator of students and I believe that every student is entitled to a teacher that will personalize their curriculum and teaching pace to make sure that the student understands the subject in a meaningful...

...kinetics, equilibrium, ideal gas laws, atomic structure, quantum chemistry, chemical bonds, etc). The student achieves good understanding of the material. Next step will be connecting the new material with relevant chapters already mustered - in order to have him understand the topic in full, get the full picture. After chewing it down in the tutoring session, I give the student similar kind of problems to solve independently, at home, for the next tutoring session. This...

...have a strong science background, some of my favorite courses I took in college were history and math related. I have experience in tutoring biology, chemistry, pre-algebra, algebra, and pre-calculus at both the high school and college levels. I am extremely passionate about teaching because I found that, throughout my education, genuine teachers who truly wanted to help me learn and succeed were rare. I find that making connections and taking the time to truly...

...to help students know the why before the how so that they are more engaged in class. Each student has their strengths & weaknesses. I have to sit down (or meet online) with the student and ask them questions that will help me know them better and hence tailor my teaching approach to suit their needs. I also have experience tutoring students that needs special accommodation (like 504 plan, students that have ADHD, anxiety, etc.)...

Graduate (3.9 GPA) from the University of Connecticut in chemical engineering. Four years of tutoring experience. Seeking to help students, much like the tutors who helped me become accepted to an MD program at my top medical school choice.

...my name is Richard. I have graduated from college with a Bachelor of Science in physics. Throughout my time in college, I have tutored an array of students ranging in various skills of mathematics and physics and ages. I love the feeling of helping others understand and gain an appreciation for the fields through the sessions we have. My goal is to help students solve problems on their own, but also have some fun while...

...liberal arts college in which faculty have lots of one-on-one interactions with students. Sitting down and delving into problems with students during office hours was always one of my favorite aspects of the job. I am currently transitioning back into full time chemical research but would like to keep a connection to students through tutoring. I have designed and taught courses in Introductory, Physical, and Atmospheric Chemistry at the college level. For each of these...
