...passionate about. I graduated with honors from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2015 with a B.A. in Classics (Latin and Greek Literature) and a Minor in Mathematics. The most important thing to me when tutoring is that my students feel understood and respected, and never looked down upon for not understanding...

Organic Chemistry PhD Candidate. Actively pursuing research to discover new organic methods and the synthesis of complex molecules.

Knowledge is accessible to all. One of the most common problems I see is students trying to learn or being taught in a way that doesn't access the way they learn best. I approach all learning from multiple directions to utilize the most efficient route to content mastery for all students.

I am Timothy, a physics tutor with years of experience teaching at every level from elementary to graduate school! I form a great rapport with older students and I am able to keep younger students engaged and productive!

...making sure to instill a solid understanding of the fundamentals of physics during physics tutorial sessions.

I strive to offer the same type of help I received in these sessions because I would not be where I am in my academic career today without them. I am currently applying to medical school...

I have been tutoring for over two years in math and physics. I am currently a sophomore at NC State where I plan on majoring in Mathematics and Chemical engineering.

I pride myself in being able to help simplify challenging problems for students, as well as offer mentorship and moral support in the absence of a teacher for the student's academic success.

I am a UNC sophomore in business and computer science and love tutoring in math, science, or Spanish. Hobbies/Interests: Soccer, basketball, and playing race car games

The very first student whom I tutored received a perfect score on the ACT. That is why I have continued tutoring for the past seven years. Throughout the course of my tutoring, I have had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of students from kindergarten to graduate school.

...for a year. Most recently I've been a Maple tutor at the NC State Math Media Lab where I help students do their calculus homework.

...pursuing a PhD in Biomathematics, I do know that there are several ways to approach each type of problem; you just have to find what works for you. I am here to share the "tricks" and think outside of the box for those who struggle to understand subjects when taught in a conventional classroom setting....

...relate the material to the student's life by showing them "real-world" applications or easily observable examples. 3. Whenever possible, I leverage student's existing knowledge and teach widely-applicable problem-solving skills to foster an appreciation for how interconnected things are. Who Am I? I am a cancer scientist; I use a combination of Math, Biology and Computer...

...after approached by my Biology and Chemistry professors. The one thing I enjoy most about tutoring is helping someone to achieve that breakthrough moment. Two heads are often better than one. When you get stuck on a particular concept, it's great to have someone who can help you out of that rut!
