I am passionate about theatre and love living in an area so close to the amazing hub that is New...

I enjoy helping students learn material in a way they can remember and apply in future coursework.... Perseverance trumps brilliance every time. Ask questions and work hard, and there's nothing you won't be able to understand.... I would begin by asking a few questions to see where a student is. I would then provide a useful note sheet and go over a refresher of some of the concepts we would be focusing on.... I would talk about my learning habits with the student and refer them to some useful online/in person resources as well as ask questions to prompt independent thinking.

...always come naturally. Having completed most of the courses prior to my younger siblings taking them, it was natural to spend time answering their questions and working through problems with them. Having graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, I was oftentimes called upon by my peers to help explain a difficult concept, or work through a difficult exercise. In addition to my extensive education in mathematics, I also worked at a...

...University and a PhD in biophysical chemistry from Stanford University, I have passion for science and mathematics that I love to share as a teacher and tutor. I am firmly of the belief that learning a technical subject like chemistry, physics, or math is much like learning a foreign language: listening and reading is much easier than speaking and writing. It is all too easy to fall into the trap of believing that if you...

...majority of my life in the central Minnesota area. I attended high school in Elk River, MN and am currently student teaching through St. Cloud State University. I expect to receive a BS in 5th-12th Grade General Science/Chemistry Education this spring. I've spent my time at St. Cloud State studying various subjects with a focus on math, chemistry, biology and other sciences. I've had multiple opportunities to observe and teach in schools around the area,...

...lifelong curiosity into even one of my students, I would have reached success. I also firmly believe that conversation is a huge part of a successful teaching/learning process. No one knows how the students learn better than the students themselves. I constantly check in with how students are doing, often before I tell them how I think they are doing. This constantly dialogue allows us to form a better connection and does nothing but allow...

...State University and am currently a design engineer in the machinery industry. While I was at Iowa State University I tutored Calculus I/II, Physics I and I was a supplemental instructor for calculus III and Thermodynamics I for three years. I find it incredibly fulfilling to help others understand these topics and that's why I signed up to continue to tutor on top of my full time job. I enjoy tutoring physics and thermodynamics the...

...with ideas until I deeply understand them. Once I do, I find even more joy in helping others achieve the same understanding by asking guiding questions and explaining things simply. My goal is to help students reach their full potential and develop enthusiasm for lifelong learning. As an engineer, math and science are my strongest subjects. However, I am also an avid reader and enjoy various subjects such as psychology, sociology, philosophy, and business.... I teach by asking guiding questions and explaining concepts in the simplest possible manner in order to help the student gain a true understanding of the subject matter. Having been in the student’s position, I always remain empathetic, positive, and encouraging.

...like helping students because I don't think they should feel like they cant accomplish something because they don't understand a topic very well, they should be able to accomplish everything they want and since education is very necessary nowadays to have the life they want to have.It is truly amazing to help people follow their dreams. In my free time, I love learning and practicing new languages and reading about Space and the different cultures...

...and moved to Minneapolis to co-found a biomedical engineering startup. Before Arizona, I received a BS in electrical engineering at the University of Virginia. Over the past five years I've taught quite a few lab courses, mostly in electronics for biomedical students. I enjoy helping to guide students to a better understanding, so they can explain a concept in their own words (not just in my words). I like to draw out visual explanations whenever...

...recently graduated from MIT with my B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering with a double major in Music, while completing the pre-health track. I have been tutoring college level physics, biology, multivariable calculus, and organic chemistry for the past four years. I have also helped high school students prepare for the SAT and ACT. I am an avid classical pianist, EMT, swimmer, and tinkerer. I love explaining things and paying forward my knowledge to those around me!

...I received my Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering with a focus on Backend Software Development.

I tutored a broad range of subjects during high school such as Math, Physics and Chemistry, I am most passionate about Math, Calculus, and Geometry. In my experience helping struggling students...

...Minnesota in 2011 and my Master's in 2013, both in Aerospace Engineering & Mechanics. As a Graduate Teaching Assistant at University of Minnesota, I taught groups of students in the laboratory sessions for courses in the Aerospace Engineering Department, including Experimental Methods, Instrumentation, and Aeroelasticty. The most important aspect of my teaching style is demonstrating patience and commitment to the student. I want the student to feel comfortable communicating with me what they are struggling...

...a Bachelor of Arts in Physics and Mathematics. Following my passion of teaching and working with students, I also studied to become licensed to teach math and physics. I have spent time working with students in St. Paul who are struggling to meet grade level standards, students who need an extra boost for an AP test, and I spent an entire semester at a school in India working with students in math, physics, and SAT...

...Education. For the last two years I was a ESL teacher in China. Had a great experience over there and did a lot of tutoring as part of my job. When tutoring we will have as much fun as we can, I like to start and finish my sessions with a quick game and believe that language learning, or any learning for that matter, should be enjoyable. I have also traveled to Jordan and Egypt....

...be a senior at the University of Minnesota -- Twin Cities, studying biology, hoping for a medical degree in the distant future. I have had plenty of experience in science courses as well as many other types of course. A little bit more about me, I absolutely love music and art, really anything artistic I have tried! One of my favorite things to do is play guitar. I came to Varsity Tutors to help people...

...of Minnesota-Twin Cities studying Genetics, Cell Biology and Development. After graduation, I will attend medical school (where is still being determined), where my goal is to become an academic physician who both cares for patients and educates residents and medical students.
