...teach. That is a big reason as to why I am here as a tutor. I have ample experience as a tutor. I discovered my great love for tutoring my senior year of high school, when I tutored several of my peers in Calculus. I tutored throughout my undergraduate years, earning great praise as a chemistry tutor. My main approach as a tutor is to slowly ween my students off of my help. I usually...

...is curiosity, as all humans are naturally curious. I like to awaken and facilitate this curiosity to help my students learn on their own. This, I believe, is the most efficient way of teaching. My curiosity drives me towards a variety of subjects. I research, write, and teach Art History, History, and photography. I am also coming from a science background, where I dedicated my college years to physics and mathematics. These two are my...

...It is this reason that I decided to study Political Science and Latin America & Latino Studies in the Pre-Law track at the University of Illinois-Chicago. I have the opportunity to help individuals with their needs and what they want to see be changed in the world around them. This is also why I enjoy tutoring because students want to be better themselves, and I know I can help them achieve that.

...as a tutee and student with other students in bringing about success. I am an aspiring physician and love being able to help others. I hope through tutoring, I will be able to continue to help others in a setting outside the medical field! I graduated from Saint Louis University in May 2018 with a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and two minors in Biology and Health Care Ethics. During my time at SLU I...

...as a private tutor for the last 2 years. Before I began as a private tutor I tutored friends and was a tutor for the National Honors Society in High School. I love working with students and seeing them understand a subject they previously did not. Often students are missing a few pieces of information that keeps them from succeeding. My job has a tutor is to figure out what these pieces of information are...

...a minor in Business Institutions. Since then I have picked up tutoring again. I've always enjoyed learning, and in the past few years I have enjoyed growing as a teacher and leader. I particularly enjoy "the game" of standardized tests, so I gravitate towards teaching ACT and SAT prep. I believe my work as an actor and director aids my ability to communicate and listen to students. I have an avid curiosity; I told my...

...so my personal teaching style caters towards meeting a student's individual needs. I have ample experience tutoring and teaching one-on-one between peers and teaching ESL online. I am a recent college graduate, so I remember very well the process of learning new material. My 4 year degree was earned at Grand Valley State University where I majored in Biomedical Science. This degree drew upon many disciplines where I have consequently gained a holistic and integrative...

...direction because of a new responsibility or urgent task. The job was more administrative and the students didn't receive much individual attention. Eventually, I made a few connections and started tutoring privately. This was a whole new ball game in that I have never before interacted with someone for two hour stretches in an academic setting. In addition, my pupil was in high school which elevates the challenge and required a more nuanced approach to...

...experience from which to draw upon. My Masters thesis included a significant amount of physics knowledge, and all of these topics require a great deal of math as well. I specialize in the STEM fields- science, technology, engineering, and math. My time teaching high school also included one-on-one experience with students who have special education needs, and I have found that communication with parents is essential. It is my hope that I can continue to...

...peer tutoring program at my high school, and during college, I tutored fellow students in math and science classes. More specifically, I specialize in high school and college-level math/science courses: algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus, physics and chemistry. Test prep for ACT, SAT, GMAT and GRE are also included. I'm extremely patient and will always take the time to ensure students understand the concepts in a way that is clear to them. I'm available to...

...a sophomore undergraduate student at Milwaukee School of Engineering working towards a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering. Throughout my years as a student, I have volunteered as a tutor for several different STEM-related subjects. I am passionate about Math and I believe that obtaining a strong foundation in core math skills such as problem solving and critical thinking is the basis for success not only in STEM disciplines, but in all areas of life.

...Spain I tutored many children in one on one sessions to improve their English language skills in the areas of reading, writing, listening and speaking. I also conducted 2 classroom sessions weekly for college students to improve their conversational English skills. Through Varsity Tutors, I would love to continue helping students improve their language skills in both English and Spanish. I also am very well equipped to tutor students in any of the sciences. I...

...enjoy seeing my students improve and achieve new goals as I work with them. Moving away from the swimming environment, I started to tutor students for math and science. I quickly realized that I enjoyed teaching in this environment as well, particularly because I enjoy math and science and their relevance to my everyday life. This projected my teaching philosophy by giving students connections to their studies. I believe these connections are the best way...

...some classes I had previously disliked in high school. I changed my major two weeks into the start of freshman year, trying to avoid taking many chemistry and physics classes; But after my first week in those courses, I had a newly piqued interest. I believe it was my professors that sold me on how chemistry and physics could be fun. They were always encouraging students to ask questions, and instead of rushing through the...

...of satisfaction and pride in themselves for accomplishing a task that may have seemed like a challenge. I spent many years working as a sports camp counselor for elementary and high school aged children and have thoroughly enjoyed those experiences. The same energy and passion I brought to sports camp, I try to channel into my tutoring. I always ensure I stay motivated, engaged, and having fun so that my students will (hopefully!) feel the...

I'm an engineering major who is passionate about teaching and loves to work with kids.... My teaching philosophy is learning by doing. It's important that students practice the skills they learn right away through guided and unguided practice problems. Students should be given the chance to figure out the problem for themselves before help is given.

...was educated via life. I have traveled the world and experienced several cultures. While I did attend college and received extensive training via the military, I tend to remember many details of both the thousands of hours I have spent in the classroom, both teaching and as a student, and the world that I have observed. I believe I can teach almost anything because teaching is an intensely personal endeavor. It is my job to...
