...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 OR how to deal with a "difficult" professor. In the end, it is all about the journey! You can learn all things with time and patience. Most of the time it is confidence that...

...TN. I majored in Music Business, and minored in Mathematics. I have tutored students in math, economics, physics, violin, and music publishing for five years. My favorite subject is math because it involves 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...

...Tutors is to help you build the bridge that could connect what you already know and what you pursue in learning. After finishing my college study (EE) from the top university in China, 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...

...plans to attend the University of Maryland School of Dentistry in the fall. I was once a student who needed a lot of help and consistently relied on a tutor 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...

I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy SCUBA diving around the world, photographing and writing about my adventures in a travel...

...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 understand these concepts through real life examples and applications, they become much easier to understand. Science can be hard, there are a lot of details that can make students (and myself!)...

...University, majoring in Biology (cell and molecular concentration) with a minor in Chemistry. I have been tutoring at GW for four years, and have been officially working for the university as a tutor for 2 of those years.

...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 and tailoring my explanations to how they learn best, whether that means using visual aids, real-world examples, or interactive problem-solving. I tutor subjects in math, science, and computer programming. My favorite...

...of 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.

...I 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.

When working through practice problems, I enjoy using the "teach-back" method to...

...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 attempt to give examples that are more tangible and...

...(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.
