Christina

Algebra Tutor • +21 Subjects

I graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor of Science in Applied Physics and a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. I have 15 year of corporate experience as a engineer, scientist and marketing manager. I miss getting to do science on a daily basis and would like to help students in high school and entry level college course master these topics.I have experience teaching at the middle school and high school level. I prefer to work with high school students and entry level college students. I have 4 years of tutoring experience at the college level.I think physics is phun. Yes, I made a horrible pun but it is nonetheless true. I enjoy helping students master complex skills to make seemingly difficult problems easy. I have a deep knowledge of physics and math (the language of physics). I can help students by showing them a variety of ways to approach problems and how to break down the problem into smaller steps.Math is the language of physics. I took 4 years of mathematics at the college level, fram calculus through mathematical physics.I graduated with a degree in both Applied Physics and Philosophy. I spent the first 8 years of my corporate career as an engineer and senior scientist applying physic daily to help manufacture computer ships.I look forward to working with students to help them learn how fun science and math can be. I am available weekdays, nights and weekends throughout the greater Austin area and online.

Sam

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +17 Subjects

For as long as I can remember, I've loved learning new things and sharing this knowledge with others. Nothing beats the feeling of demystifying a difficult concept for someone and witnessing their "aha!" moment. Over the course of my academic career, I grew to really enjoy the STEM subjects, and I was always happy to take the time (often quite a bit!) to help my peers when they were having trouble with their homework or didn't understand the way the teacher explained something. These impromptu sit-downs ultimately evolved into formal tutoring sessions, and over the years, I've served as a private tutor for a number of students in math and science.I graduated from Cooper Union with a Bachelor of Engineering in electrical engineering in 2010. Since then, I've been working as a software engineer; this experience has fueled my enthusiasm for tutoring computer science. I'm also passionate about tutoring calculus and physics so that I can help assuage the extreme (and, in my opinion, undeserved) fear that students often have of these subjects. Despite their intimidating reputations, each of these subjects is built on a foundation of only a few simple (and largely intuitive) ideasthe difficulty comes when these concepts are combined and applied in creative ways. Accordingly, my tutoring style is to cut through the complexity by repeatedly breaking things down into smaller and simpler pieces until they are understood.

Sean

1st Grade Reading Tutor • +132 Subjects

I come from a family of teachers, as my mother was an elementary school music teacher for 35 years and her sister was a preschool teacher. I did very well in school, including college and graduate school, I wanted to help others learn how to study effectively and remember information. I have developed a desire to help people achieve their educational goals and succeed in an academic setting. I first began substitute teaching in the 1990s and felt like I was really making an impact on students' motivation to learn. I completed my student teaching in Spanish in 2003 at East Hartford High School (Connecticut). Soon thereafter, I began working for a private company as a tutor for students with special needs, as well as those with English as their second language (in reading, writing, and math).At this point, I also took on a few private tutoring jobs, with someone of Japanese descent, as well as a couple students who were of Mexican descent. I worked at an autism spectrum school for about four years as a direct care staff person. I taught Spanish to two adolescents while there. I also experienced growth myself, as I had not realized how important socialization is to learning. As you may or may not know, socialization is a big barrier to many students on the spectrum.Finally, I have been substitute teaching in the Albany, NY area, which renewed my interest in being an instructor/facilitator/guide to struggling students. During this time, I had also tutored an international graduate college student (from Saudi Arabia) in Educational Psychology in preparation for her Early Childhood degree. I felt like this experience opened my eyes even more about cultural differences, and was a challenge that I was prepared to meet.

Rehan

Algebra Tutor • +38 Subjects

I am a high school science teacher and can tutor in science, history, ESL, Math, and introductory Spanish. I enjoy tutoring students to help them achieve their goals. Working one on one or in small groups allows me to focus on the students needs and ask the right questions to explain material they do not understand. I have been a tutor for three years at the current school that I teach at. When tutoring in science, I try to explain the steps necessary to solve problems and understand the material. I connect concepts to knowledge that the student already has. This helps the student to build on their frame of knowledge. I can tutor high school or the college level. I am excited about helping students learn and would be delighted to tutor you.

My name is Maddie. I'm a grad student at the University of Oklahoma in the School of Meteorology. I completed my Bachelors degrees in mathematics and geophysics at MIT in 2012. I then spent four years in the Navy as an instructor at Nuclear Power School, where I taught physics to sailors who were learning to operate nuclear power plants. I absolutely love teaching and love math and science. If you're looking for some help in those areas, I'd love the opportunity to assist you.

Algebra Tutor • +7 Subjects

Hello! I'm Jenny and I am here to help. I graduated from Barnard College in May of 2018 with a History degree and the pre-med curriculum under my belt. I am in the process of applying to medical schools with aspirations to matriculate in 2021. Before going back to school, I am making it my mission to learn as much as possible outside of an academic context. Though I am a Massachusetts native, I now reside in Santa Fe, New Mexico where, among other pursuits, I am exploring pottery. That being said, to date I've had incredible academic experiences and would love to share my knowledge and enthusiasm for learning with you! With a strong background in the sciences and the humanities, I am here to help edit essays, work on math or science homework, demystify your college course load, or hone your study skills. Don't hesitate to get in touch! I always put my best foot forward.

Catherine

Algebra Tutor • +26 Subjects

While pursuing my higher education (B.S. at Castleton University, VT, and M.S. at University of Montana, MT) focused in chemistry, I have been fortunate enough to tutor and teach students at the undergraduate level for the past 9 years in mainly science and mathematics. I tutored for 4 years in General Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Algebra I & II, Statistics I, Microbiology, and Physics at the undergraduate level. I also was a teaching assistant for the past 5 years and taught 6 courses focused on General / Introduction to Chemistry and Analytical Chemistry.I have tutored over 200 students in the past 9 years (individually, small groups, and classroom settings) and have received over 98% of exemplary reviews. When I teach / tutor, I try to adapt my methods to what would be best for the student, whether that be analogies, practice problems, visuals, or a combination. My goal is to make a student's learning as educational and welcoming as possible, since new classes can be intimidating. I try to make my teaching methods one that students can look forward to.
