...learn how to solve problems and to take charge of their own learning. My strategies of increasing understanding stem from building on what they know and encouraging thinking about where they may get lost. This is to assess my student's progress throughout while also holding them accountable for mastering their subject of study. In this continuously changing world of ours, it is important to understand how to effectively communicate and collaborate with others, use evidence...

...This is a skill that can applied to any area of study and it helps make the material more understandable. I use a variety of methods to teach including drawings, models, analogies, similar practice problems, and anything else that would help them to learn.

...University of Washington last year and I have been tutoring math and physics for the past 4 years. While contemplating career options, I realized that the highlight of my day was always my tutoring shift. Life has been far more enriching with both an education and the opportunity to assist others with their education. Additionally, the world we are entering is more demanding of critical thinking skills than ever, so it would be remiss of...

...quite math, you tricky person, but sign right up. I tutor a bit of physics and computer programming as well. Test prep, too. But who am I? I am a math music philosophy nerd. I love Gauss almost as much as I love Bach and I love Bach almost as much as I like Hegel. So chat to me about that stuff if you are so inclined. But you want to just chill and have...

...take a shot at a similar problem and see if they can solve it. Also to target specific weak areas that the student is struggling in. Usually a visual aid accompanying the problem is how I like to teach. Using videos and open discussion are also good methods. Often times engagement in both verbal and written activities at the same time are great ways to learn a new subject. I enjoy quantum computing and chemistry,...

...school, community college and university level. A few years ago I decided to focus solely on elementary, middle, and high school students. I substitute teach about 90% of the school calendar year and I have been a tutor (in home and online). In fact, substitute teaching is a lot like being a tutor. Beyond subject matter content, teaching is always about the self-esteem of the student. Learning is a lifelong process. Each teaching situation is...

...and they will need to find some of them on their own. They need to be willing and capable enough to do this. When working with math, I attempt to connect concepts to "real world" uses and ideas. I hope to show my students that math is not a torture technique, but a tool that can be used to describe and test ideas as well as to overcome obstacles to success. Lastly, I believe that...

...elementary school math to upper level college sciences. I've been tutoring for 10 years, and I love to see my client's grow! My tutoring style encompasses learning how to implement habits that will lead us to our goals. I am a big believer in conceptual understanding, organization, repetition and applying new information in different ways (I like props and real-life examples). Please contact me with details of what you're looking for and we'll work together...

...or physics problems, and during my last year of school, I led a tutoring class for general physics with calculus. My friends and the student I tutor have mentioned that I do a good job of explaining topics in different ways than the instructor did in their classes. I also try my best to let students solve problems on their own, only asking leading questions to make sure they are on the right path.

...care about. With 6 years as an optical research scientist, I bring real world experience to motivate interest and understanding in my students. I have experience with hands-on lab skills, computer modeling, and data analysis in a research and engineering setting. That is to say I used geometry, calculus, diff-eq's and physics everyday. I am also passionate about teaching - sharing that knowledge in an accessible way that will help you find confidence and understanding,...

...The Pacific Northwest is my home through and through; I am particularly enamored with the boundless outdoor opportunities constantly enticing me away from the metropolitan area. I love the rain and could not ask for a better backyard than the Cascades! I am an avid backcountry skier, alpine climber, cyclist, and runner.

I also have a strong academic background, with a degree in biophysics as well as in music and teaching...

...into a familiar, more approachable format. While there a several topics where I believe I can help, including general chemistry, astronomy, and math up through Calculus III and Linear Algebra, I enjoy talking about Calculus and Physical Chemistry the most. I have been involved in academic research since the summer of 2002, so I am comfortable discussing various academic challenges and the methods that can be used to overcome them. Outside of the research lab,...
