...Engineering - Awarding institution: Georgia Institute of Technology - Specialties: SAT, AP Chem, Physics C, Calc B/C, middle and high school math and science I believe that with the right help, math and science are easy to understand. As embarrassing it is to admit, I didn't know how to perform differentiation properly until my last year of high school. Since then, I found creative ways to understand difficult concepts by trying to re-teach myself using...

...the University of California, Los Angeles, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. I've always loved Math and the Sciences: the hunt for the right equation to use, the unravelling of the mystery of the value of x. I want to show my students to see these subjects as I do: as a challenge, not a chore. I try to do this by making things simple and showing straightforward techniques that students...

...undergraduate and graduate student, I spent several years as a Physics teaching assistant. My experience at the universities has included both teaching Physics in group (classroom and lab) settings and working with students individually on homework problems or test preparation. For the past few years, I have also tutored students independently, primarily focusing on Algebra/Algebra 2, Physics, and Chemistry. Students have often said that I am a very clear, patient, and thorough tutor. I believe...

...elective: Physical Properties of Polymers at the University of Southern California which taught polymer synthesis and characterization of various commercial and research based polymerization processes. I am looking to tutor a variety of subjects : Mathematics (Calculus, linear Algebra, Differential Equations, Statistics), Physics (Newtonian, Electricity and Magnetism), Chemistry (Inorganic, Organic, Physical Chemistry), Programming in Matlab, Standardized Test Prep (ACT, SAT, GRE), Specialty Chemical Engineering courses, and Data Analysis. I love these topics since they were...

...Engineer currently trying to make my way into the product design arena. I recently moved to Oregon from Michigan in pursuit of this goal! I have always loved and had a skill for math and physics. This was only strengthened through two degrees in engineering. Although my formal tutoring didn't start until college, in high school I did some volunteer tutoring and was often helping my friends with their physics and calculus homework. When I...

...to an idea. I prefer to ask the student lots of guiding questions, instead of didactically infusing them with answers. This method results in what I like to call "intellectual exhilaration," in other words, the student is excited because they were able to create something out of themselves, instead of being imbued with the ideas of others something sort of rare for children, teens, and college students at times. I look forward to studying with...

Audio Engineer & Music Producer for 15+ years, working in both live sound and studio settings. Electrical Engineer for 7 years, which has given me the ability to communicate complex topics in simple, understandable terms.

...any student grasp difficult math concepts. I take a systematic, analytical approach to most effectively and efficiently improve the mathematic and/or scientific ability of my clients. In doing this, I follow a four-step process: 1) identify the specific, problematic concepts 2) develop teaching strategies tailored to the student's age level and personality 3) work through the concepts with the student 4) use continuous check-ins to make sure the student is truly learning the material, making...

...Geology from University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez and a MS in Geophysics from Brown University. Having grown up in Puerto Rico, I am fluent in both conversational and academic Spanish. Over the past five years, I have taught a variety of physical science courses at the collegiate level to both pre-college, college, and advanced high school students from which I have cultivated a strong student-centered teaching philosophy based on responding to the needs of my students....

...own way, whether or not they understand a topic at the beginning, middle or end of a lesson varies from student to student. All that matters, is that the student is to comprehend, analyze, and recite back with full confidence what they had learned as if they knew it all along. One of my most favorite quotes comes from Albert Einstein and it reads, "Everyone is a genius, but if you judge a fish by...

...minds. The key to understanding is relation. For example, many people don't understand math because they don't see its use. For example, what is the use of calculus? Why should I learn all these things that seem so hard to understand? It's not that I can't, it's that I simply can't see why I should take the time to do so. Calculus tells NASA engineers when to release pieces of the rockets they fire into...

...Georgia Institute of Technology pursuing a bachelor's of science in Chemical Engineering. I have worked recently as a math tutor at a public tutoring center. Working with kids K-12, I have helped a diverse group of kids with math subjects ranging from counting to AP Calculus. With a large background in science, I also tutor kids that are struggling with chemistry and physics. Generally, my favorite subject to teach is algebra. Often times this is...

...of the University of Colorado at Boulder. I received my Bachelor of Science in Chemical and Biological Engineering with a minor in French. During my time at CU, I studied abroad in Paris, as well as being a Teaching Assistant for Chemistry, Biology, and Fluid Mechanics for engineers and often helped my peers with homework. During the summer and fall I teach percussion for a local high school marching band. While I tutor a variety...

...improvement. Through targeted practice, I believe in focusing on areas where students are not as strong. I scored 1520 and 1550 on the SAT in 2017 and a perfect score on the Math section twice -- before I even started tutoring. I understand that students have a wide variety of learning styles. In the first session, I assess student goals, learning styles, past experiences and scores, and strengths to develop the best approach to improve...

There are a lot of subjects I tutor, but I like to focus most on...

...those skills, they will learn how to solve problems and to take charge of their own learning. My strategies of increasing understanding stem from building on what they know and encouraging thinking about where they may get lost. This is to assess my student's progress throughout while also holding them accountable for mastering their subject of study. In this continuously changing world of ours, it is important to understand how to effectively communicate and collaborate...

...Clark College with a BofA in Psychology. Throughout my time in academia I've spent time working with those who want to improve whether it's algebra, chemistry, biology or writing. I get particularly excited when it's time to talk science! Everywhere you look is something new end fantastic. I do bring this enthusiasm into session, and default to drawing out participation with questions, (What would happen if we changed this? What does this term mean to...
