...like to fully understand my students goals and I like them to get the most out of every session with me. I like to emphasize clear concepts and provide plenty of opportunities for repetition to build their skills. I hope that during their time with me students not only get great technical knowledge but also feel like they have found a good mentor to help them succeed in their endeavors beyond test scores and the...

...high school. Since then, I found creative ways to understand difficult concepts by trying to re-teach myself using my own words and visual illustrations. This helped me through engineering school and eventually through my doctoral thesis projects. My goal is to provide you with the best personalized lessons to help you achieve your academic success. Educational background: I pursued my Bachelors in Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) at Korea University. During this time, I went...

...prepare for careers in science and engineering. As a Tau Beta Pi graduate from an Ivy League university, I recognize that hard work and devotion to your studies will allow you to achieve your goals. I will work with each student to set appropriate learning targets whether s/he is looking to supplement school or learning to prepare for admission exams. As a father of two teenage boys, I understand the challenges that modern life places...

...that success. I tutor Mathematics, Physics, SAT Prep and, my favorite, Computer Science. I have experience putting Computer Science to use both in the classroom and in the software industry, years of exposure to Physics and Mathematics in the classroom, and my own experience preparing for the SAT to draw on. My grasp of these subjects is strong, and I am confident in my ability to share that understanding with my students.

As an ME student at MIT, I've learned a lot about math and science, and I'd love to share that knowledge with students here. I've taught over thirty students in standardized test preparation, English, German, and various kinds of math and science. It's very important to find teaching methods that meet students' individual needs,so the first meeting will usually be largely about finding the perfect learning strategy for a student.

...of teaching: The best part of teaching is feeling proud of what your students accomplish. A good teacher is someone for whom the student wants to work hard. A teachers most important skill is seeing things through students eyes. The students should be able to see themselves making progress. That's the psychological part of teaching. As for technique, I model, and monitor student work, and explain to correct mistakes. Students learn the most by working...

...variety of physical science courses at the collegiate level to both pre-college, college, and advanced high school students from which I have cultivated a strong student-centered teaching philosophy based on responding to the needs of my students. While I tutor a variety of subjects, my favorite is Geology because it allows me to always be connected to what happens around me. In my spare time, I enjoy sewing, reading, running, swimming, and hiking. I love...

...improve their confidence by reinforcing the value of improving on their academic weaknesses. In my opinion intellectual growth occurs when the student is challenged, not just when the student is learning something new. I prefer students in high school and college, as those are the ages I have the most experience with, but if you would like me to tutor your child I would be more than happy to help them grow. I believe that...

...I explain why and how one would arrive at a particular answer. I think that this is beneficial because it teaches students how to learn. 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. Outside of school I love riding...

I am a MD PhD from Germany who has been living and working in the US now for more than 2.5 yrs. I love teaching students, seeing them improve themselves while learning. Nothing makes teaching more worth it than creating that spark in a students eye, because he/she either really understood something or is just fascinated with the topic and wants to know more.

...way into the product design arena. I recently moved to Oregon from Michigan in pursuit of this goal! I have always loved and had a skill for math and physics. This was only strengthened through two degrees in engineering. Although my formal tutoring didn't start until college, in high school I did some volunteer tutoring and was often helping my friends with their physics and calculus homework. When I did tutor, I tutored mainly in all...

...for, their identity validated, learning flows like no other. We are programmed to learn, excited to learn, sometimes we just have to convince the students that the material they are to learn is pertinent to them. This have proven true, no matter the age of population. This idea has always remained true; treat the students as individuals with their own goals and aspirations, they will respect you back and let what you say sink in.

...graduated with a major in Biology and minors in Chemistry and Music Performance (piano). My background in tutoring comes from teaching college math to various students and helping them through some of the toughest math courses in the university. I also teach classical piano lessons to a few students. Through tutoring I have developed a number of unique teaching styles that tailor to all different types of students. I also can provide quick tips and...

...combined with my experience instructing young learners, make me an outstanding tutor. My general tutoring philosophy is to allow the student to be as hands-on as possible in the learning process. Psychology shows that learning is much more efficient if you exercise your own neural pathways through doing (rather than watching). I excel in tutoring Elementary/Middle-School level Science and Math, Biology, Psychology, Chemistry, Math, first-year Spanish and Music Theory, and Piano. I'd love to work...

...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, not just pass the next test. Lets get started.

...for two years at MSU. I want to continue to tutor math and science at the primary and secondary level alongside philosophy. My personal philosophy on education is that we are all both students and teachers and we all continually learn from and teach one another. Teachers and tutors act to facilitate new discoveries, and the best teachers strive to develop a personal learning strategy for each student so they may succeed themselves. I've served...

...this information had to be passed on with no margin of error, as a single deviation between tests can render any and all data meaningless. In part through these laboratory experiences, I have learned that true understanding comes from the teaching of central concepts rather than brute-force memorization. In short, you don't learn THAT 62=3, you learn WHY 62=3, allowing you to find 82, 122, 93, and all the others (this technique can be extrapolated...

...at Cornell University. My experience in tutoring stems from my time working as a physics TA as well as working as a math tutor for a teaching facility in the Seattle area. I've always have had a passion for helping others and one of my favorite things is seeing students light up when they finally understand a difficult subject. When not tutoring I enjoy hunting for my next book at a used book stores, board...

...software engineering principles but my passion for teaching and my commitment to fostering a supportive and dynamic learning environment. I believe that learning to code is a journey of discovery and innovation, where each challenge is an opportunity for growth. My teaching philosophy centers on the Socratic method, encouraging students to explore, question, and develop critical thinking skills that go beyond mere coding abilities. I strive to make complex concepts accessible and engaging, tailoring my...

...process. I believe that dialogue and interaction are the most effective ways to teach and learn, both through implicit and explicit methods. I tutor so that students will understand why and how a concept functions, and then be able to organize it and analyze its different parts. My strongpoints as a tutor are in writing, but I also have a strong math background and love teaching all forms of math up to the high school...
