...starting dental school. During this time, I became a 7th-grade teacher; this experience shaped my understanding of the current educational needs in private and public institutions. Many children needed one-to-one tutoring, which I could not provide as a teacher. I enjoy teaching in a classroom, but I found that my strengths lie in one-to-one interaction. It is easy for students to fall behind, especially with the increasing classroom size. A lot of learning happens outside...

...enjoy learning and teaching new, challenging math concepts, and many of my peers have approached me for help over the years. In June 2010, shortly after graduating of Cinco Ranch High School in Katy, Texas, I choose to join the Edward E. Whitacre Jr. College of Engineering at Texas Tech University wishing to pursue my Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering. Mechanical Engineering was my career of choice because I have a strong need to be challenged...

...have been committed to helping other students through these tough, but rewarding processes. I am passionate about creating a space that allows students to truly grasp concepts, since this is key in building confidence. I am concerned not just with my students understanding why an answer is right, but why the other answers are wrong. I have been a tutor for the ACT for 4 years and have seen immense improvements in each student I...

...Medicine in Boston. I have extensive experience with premedical classes and have taken and tutored the MCAT exam. I placed in the 97th percentile of the MCAT exam and I understand what the test takers want students to know and how to bridge the gap between knowing the material and doing well on the test. I am always excited when a student finally has that "ah-ha" moment and declares that they now can see how...

...had to take a lot of extra math courses to get into CMU. While I was taking my prerequisite courses to get into graduate school, I worked part-time as a tutor for Upward Bound. My favorite subjects to tutor are math, physics, chemistry and biology. I firmly believe that in order for a class to be interesting, the teacher must be passionate about the subject. I'm very passionate about the natural sciences, mathematics and language....

...in Cameroon, West Africa. I travelled around Cameroon, working for a non-governmental organization called "Let Children Learn" tutoring students in rural areas of the country. These included students who could not afford to go to school and worked on their own in small groups in order to achieve their educational goals. Since moving to the United States, I have also had the opportunity to work with students in my school as a tutor. This has...

...for me; but an opportunity to fulfill my fundamentally inquisitive nature. Along this journey, I chose to focus my study on neuroscience and obtained a Ph.D. in this field. Now, I work in the biotechnology industry: writing patents for universities, emerging biotechnology companies, and inventors alike. This academic trajectory has enabled me to garner a fierce strength in writing/editing, biology, neuroscience, and critical thinking. I look forward to helping you develop the same!

Hello! My name is Claire. I am from Middletown, New Jersey, and I recently graduated from Saint John Vianney High School. I am currently a freshman at Northeastern University in Boston, where I am studying Mechanical Engineering. I have always had a passion for math and science, so I am excited to share that by assisting other students!

...mathematics then led me to choose a career in chemical engineering. In 2013, I graduated from the University of Maryland's A. James Clark School of Engineering with a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering. During my final year of college, I began tutoring elementary, middle and high school students in all their subjects but focused strongly on math and science courses. I understand that these subjects can be challenging for most students but once students...

I aim to be a coach as well as a tutor, that way we can best succeed through difficult subject matter.

...passionate about teaching physics because I enjoy how the subject does not require rote memorization, but the understanding of a concept and how to apply it to a wide array of situations. My teaching style is definitely example based. I believe that new concepts are taught best through providing examples of how to apply them to a problem. I have seen this style work with my students who I've tutored for the past four years.

...and Biochemistry and was captain of the sailing team. I also spent a semester studying sociology and biology in Chile where I lived in Spanish for five months.

I am working full time as a research assistant at Boston Children's hospital. I also enjoy...

...Most of my teaching experience comes from my work as a Teaching Fellow whilst I was earning my Mathematics Ph.D. from Boston University, and some more comes from my time as a Math Lecturer at Northeastern University. Per this, I prefer to work in Math subjects, though I am not against Physics, Programming, or other related topics. My philosophy of teaching is that a student should never be punished or shamed for asking a question,...

...around me in new and exciting ways- so organic chemistry and physics were among my favorite courses. In sociology I was very focused on research, specifically related to health inequities. I tutor in physics, chemistry, biology, and social sciences and am excited to work with you! Helping peers and receiving help from peers for studying difficult content was such an integral part of my college experience- and sometimes the most fun part- and that's why...

While I tutor a wide range of subjects, I am...
