...Studies. While I was in college I tutored students in a low income community of San Diego called City Heights, teaching them reading and writing skills. Currently I'm readying myself to enter a master's program for my secondary education teaching certificate. I am motivated to teach others not just to pass a test, but to understand how concepts fit into a larger scope. I also believe that most students could benefit from a stronger social...

...Math PhD student with research interests in geometry and mathematical physics. I have 1 year experience as a teaching assistant in mechanics and multivariable calculus. I have had multiple tutoring experiences beginning in high school with honors physics and now including calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, E&M, and quantum mechanics. I hope to help students develop both the tools to become independent learners and the confidence to face difficult problems head-on. I will work hard...

...me a diverse fundamental skill set in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Writing and English. I possess an extensive history of hands-on experience in these fields ranging from internships, academic research opportunities and professional development teams that gives me greater context in understanding applicability of these concepts. The benefit in selecting me as a tutor is my ability to effectively translate high-level concepts into fundamentals that can be understood by all. My focus...

...of Occupational Therapy Program at the University of Pittsburgh. I have spent over 600 clinical hours working with patients to help them regain their physical range of motion as well as return to their normal day-to-day activities. I have also spent many hours working with differently-abled children who are in need of special attention in order to help them reach their functional goals. Please see my Resume for more information on my recent clinical and...

...have always excelled in the more logical subjects such as Math and Sciences ever since middle school, thanks to excellent teachers that drilled the fundamentals into me. Those fundamentals are what allowed me to stay on top of the rest of my peers in understanding and problem solving, which is why I strongly value the importance of understanding basics and methodology instead of memorizing formulas and laws when it comes to arithmetic and sciences.... You do...
