...of learning. Every Sunday night we would have sessions to make sure our students were back in town ready for the next week. And this was not mandatory, thereby instilling self-discipline in our participants. During graduate school, I also tutored fellow graduate students. At this level the focus is on sharpening skills that are already there. The graduate school mentor-tutor is more of an advising type role giving students other ideas to tackle their problems...

...critical thinking and universal concepts. My teaching philosophy is to target the student's source of frustration, to ensure correct terminology using the student's course materials, to provide strategies for memorizing information, and to focus the bulk of the tutoring session on the student's homework or projects. In addition, I am very understanding, patient, and kind. My hobbies include music, poetry, songwriting, violin, copyright law, producing records, photography, and videography. I like helping students with homework,...

...I came to the US for graduate study in physics, when I started teaching as a TA in several EE courses such as semiconductor physics and computer architecture. I got the PhD degree in 2013, and then move to another university to continue scientific research, and later became a research professor, teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in physics. My expertise of tutoring focuses on physics (high school and college level), maths (high school and college...

...for extra guidance, and can therefore relate to my students in many ways. Having a good tutor support system helped get me not only a D1 Football scholarship and but also the grades and test scores needed to be accepted into dental school. My goal is to get every student I tutor as far as I possibly can through tutoring, guidance, and/or mentoring in whatever goals, dreams, or aspirations they may have.... I believe that learning...

...I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about the sciences, math, and communications. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for standardized tests, we always seem to have the most fun prepping for the Critical Reading and Writing portions of the exams, as well as the science section of the ACT. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and...

...been because of the terrific teachers and professors that I have been fortunate enough to have. In high school, I tutored my peers at the Math and Science Center, and I always tried to personally connect with each student in a different way. In the STEM courses, the concepts can be very challenging and complex. My teaching philosophy is to simplify these concepts by relating them to every-day experiences. I've found that when students can...

...at GW for four years, and have been officially working for the university as a tutor for 2 of those years. I have a huge passion for teaching, as I also worked as a TA in biology and physics and would love to help you learn and also learn how you learn! My end goal is to make sure that you are independent and can build the skills you need to study on your own.

...someone break down complex topics into manageable steps, and I aim to provide that same clarity and support for others. I've worked with students in both academic and outreach settings. I have mentored high schoolers in robotics and programming, helped peers grasp fundamental concepts in math and science, and served as a debate coach, where I guided students in building arguments, analyzing policy, and developing strong communication skills. I enjoy building a connection with students...

...Science in Physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in May 2011. I was a Teaching Assistant of a Physics course for two years while I was there. I basically helped teach the class by making sure the students understood what the professor was saying during the lectures. I believe that stripping down a problem to it's simplest explanation and then building from there is the best way to learn something completely.

...have been tutoring for 14 years and I have tutored various students on various subjects. The subjects I am currently tutoring are Algebra, Algebra 2, Arithmetic, Elementary Math, Geometry, Pre-Algebra and Physics. My favorite subject to tutor is Math. Sometimes there are missing pieces that make the subject look impossible but once the student and I are able to fill in those gaps, it is so much fun! In my spare time, I love to...

...residential summer camp, and I currently teach preschool in rural Appalachia through AmeriCorps. As my experience suggests, I love working hands on with younger students. I've also had the opportunity to intern with Teach For America at an inner city high school. There I helped teach Algebra I and Geometry classes as well as after school SAT test prep. In 2014, I served as an assistant coach for a local high school tennis team. I...

...to tutor. There is nothing that makes me happier than seeing my students explain a concept that was previously confusing for them. My teaching strategy relies heavily on understanding my students' learning styles and catering tutoring sessions to best fit how my students like to learn. When working through practice problems, I enjoy using the "teach-back" method to enhance repetition and to ensure that my students really understand the concepts. When I am not tutoring,...

...I also love being able to teach others the things that I have learned. I have taught high school biology, chemistry and physical science and have tutored in SAT Math prep there as well. My favorite moments of teaching were marked by students saying "I get it" -- especially after a long struggle to understand but everything finally makes sense and the light bulb just turned on. In helping students grasp very abstract concepts, I...

...cognitive performance. My current work at the Clinical and Translational Neuroscience Branch and Dynamic Imaging Core of the NIMH involves leveraging multiple brain imaging modalities (e.g., functional MRI (fMRI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS)) and the power of Genome Wide Association analysis to investigate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that might predict brain activation and connectivity patterns found in schizophrenia patients. I believe a commitment to education and to life-long learning is...

...I plan to pursue a dual JD/MPH degree, with the goal of specializing in Health Law. I have vast experience in numerous subjects, including English, Math, Science, and Spanish. My favorite subject to tutor in is Math because it is so rewarding to help others understand tricky concepts and be able to apply those concepts in higher-level classes. In my free time, I enjoy playing field hockey, reading, and spending time with family and friends.
