...stay current, to continuously strive to add more to our arsenal of information and to simultaneously be prepared to reinvent oneself in a very short period of time. It is my belief that that is what it takes to be a competent tutor.

...two year post-baccalaureate program in the pre-medical sciences (Bio, Orgo, Gen Chem, Physics). During this program, I continued tutoring students in subjects as diverse as writing, biology, and physics. I also started privately tutoring for the verbal section of the SAT at this time. I love trying to make challenging material more interesting and comprehensible. Any subject can be understood if the material is presented in a manner that a student finds relatable. After my...

...I studied biological engineering while spending summers doing research for the Department of Defense. Ever since I was an undergrad, I've been a Teaching Assistant for courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. As an engineer and a scientist, I am most passionate about tutoring all levels of biology and math, and I enjoy helping students preparing for the SATs or GREs. I know that these tests can be a little scary and intimidating,...

...(Korean, Japanese, French) at the beginner level. While dabbling in a few "teaching" experiences (teaching assistant for a course, Paint Nite instructor) I found that I do best in a 1-on-1 setting which tutoring fits the bill. My teaching style is incredibly laid-back and my end-goal is making sure that one is comfortable with me and also with learning the material. In my free time I like to knit, cook, draw/paint, as well as being...

...my eyes, it is my duty to do my best to try to encourage complete understanding of subject material in question, as well as give students the ability to apply that knowledge readily when necessary. While I am serious about getting the material to be integrated well into the student's knowledge base, I also try to keep it light hearted and fun. Nobody likes a teacher that is too stern after all.... Patience, and willingness to...

...the English language, and hardest of all, had to confront the realities of how the struggling lives of my students outside of school influenced their attitudes inside the school walls. Currently I am a rising second year medical student at NYU School of Medicine. I hope to pursue a career in global health, particularly focusing on curable blindness worldwide. Although I am no longer in the classroom, the passion I have for teaching and the...

...courses). Today, I mainly tutor students in Biology-related courses, including Human Physiology and Neuroscience. As a medical student at New York Medical College, I hope to offer students interested in a career in medicine additional breadth and specialized mentoring. Moreover, I also enjoy writing and would be more than happy to assist with college essays, especially scientific writing. In my free time, I enjoy volunteering as an EMT at a local ambulance corps, reading, and...

...my students a better understanding of subject. However, I am very flexible with my teaching, and I am dedicated in creating a very personalized method that works best for each individual student. I truly believe that patience and hard work are the keys to success, and combined with the right tools anyone can overcome any obstacles they find while trying to further their education. While I do tutor many subjects, my personal favorite has to...

I grew up in Belgium before moving to Los Angeles in 2010, and now I live in New York. I graduated with a Bachelor's in Bioethics and Natural Sciences and recently was accepted to medical school. I am a native French and Dutch speaker (don't worry - my English is good, too!) but I also love studying and teaching sciences, including physics, general and organic chemistry, biology, as well as math and Latin.

...am a native French speaker, fluent in written and spoken English, and a certified, experienced teacher with solid track record in teaching Life, Earth & Environmental Sciences and French to students in international (IBDP, IBMYP, IGCSE) and/or national (Brevet, Baccalaureate, GCE O-Level, ESL, FSL) programs. I understand that to be successful, a tutor must assume a number of different roles (supervisor, policy enforcer, coach, active listener, friend, etc) while remaining fun, open, flexible, compassionate, patient...

...of my adult learners get their certification after having gone through my preparation course, especially given that this person had not stepped in to a classroom for over 15 years. It gives me great pride to be able to say I knew you could do it!. It is such a gratifying and humbling feeling that it keeps me constantly striving to improve my communication skills, to hone my knowledge base and give my students 100%...

...a series of pieces of information, never understanding the core concepts and attempting to memorize individual facts. With science and math, it is important to dedicate a lot of time when beginning a subject to clearly understand these core concepts. I have found that successfully approaching these subjects in a bottom-up way can mean the difference between continuously struggling frustratingly through courses like organic chemistry and learning to love them. Completing my first year of...

...their opinions clearly and concisely. The same premise applies to my reading comprehension and literature tutoring. I want my students to get closer to the writer, to see how they are similar, to understand more about themselves as they work to understand the material. Of course, students should enjoy themselves in all of their academic endeavors, and I like to have fun in my tutoring sessions. As an actor I usually play the role of...

...a tutor because there is no better feeling than helping someone understand a concept and - beyond that - giving them the confidence needed to succeed. As a current nursing student, I utilize all of the same skills I hope to impart on others: study habits, organization, and test taking skills. I have always loved helping others and being a tutor is another great outlet for me to able to do so.... Keep it relevant! Anytime...

...teaching style and philosophy as a development of mutual respect; I have come to understand that a student's respect for learning is often a reflection of his or her teacher's attitude toward the learning process. I am a patient and caring teacher and I care greatly for my students' improvements. In my free time, you can find me fancying myself a film critic or picking up a stray set on the tennis court.... My teaching philosophy...

...in an active learning environment where they are comfortable asking questions and engaging with material in their own way. In particular, I have a passion for working with those who struggle to find a system of academic organization and time management that works for them, and those students who need extra help in catering studying to their style of learning. In my own experiences as I student I have benefited from trying new methods and...

...experience tutoring math, science, and history, both high school and college level. I was a teaching assistant for organic chemistry labs as an undergraduate, and a teaching assistant for developmental genetics courses as a graduate student. I enjoy motivating students to get excited about the subject matter by employing various teaching strategies.

...student, no matter the age group, I try to teach and explain the material in a way that I would've wanted it done if I was in the student's shoe. I relate it to their daily lives and activities, in my opinion that helps the student understand better. In my spare time, I enjoy watching movies, traveling, and reading. I have a love for dolls, therefore, I try to collect barbies and porcelain dolls.... Have a...

...enjoyable. I believe in a more Socratic and investigative approach to teaching as I think that the deepest learning comes from answering guided questions and coming to one's own conclusions, then matching those conclusions to available standards and literature. I also believe in providing modes of concrete, pictorial, and abstract learning for every standard to truly solidify understanding for all learning styles. In my free time, I love visiting art galleries and I am currently...

...hands on activities. Also, my background as a Respiratory Therapist will be very useful when we study the human body. Math and science are both subjects that are made up of patterns to be discovered and I will challenge my students to find them as part of problem solving quests. I feel that when students are able to discover the puzzle underlying subject material, learning becomes more fun. In addition, I greatly enjoy children's literature...
