...exam in 2012, and I'm familiar with the exam structure and the efficient preparation strategies. My tutoring style is based on my extensive knowledge of the topics and my motivational skills. I believe motivating students is an important part of tutoring, as much as obtaining knowledge. My strategy is to have students excited about the topic, build students self confidence, and encourage them to be involved during the tutoring session. I always maintain a very...

...English Education. I am pursuing my MFA at New York University in Musical Theatre Writing. As an educator in the field of secondary English education for the past four years, I have learned that students first need a support system in order to achieve their own greatness. I hope to be at least a small part of that support system as well as a source of guidance for students who are in need.

...work through problems and learn to apply familiar concepts to unfamiliar situations. I also believe strongly in teaching “to the student,” and therefore adapt my teaching to fit each individual’s needs and learning styles. By pinpointing and addressing students’ weaknesses and creating a comfortable, nurturing environment in which they can learn, I work to help students solidify their knowledge base and learn how to learn. In my free time, I enjoy running, playing piano, baking...

...puzzles, and how each unique mind breaks down a problem's pieces. For test prep, studying is as much about learning equations and facts as it is about learning the tricks to the format. Again, it is all a puzzle, and I can teach you the ways to hack the system by knowing the rules to the game. In the classroom, you can only get the material in a way that the teacher understands it. It...

Besides the main subjects I mentioned above, I also possess adequate knowledge...

...in a third grade classroom that I was sure I wanted to pursue education as a career. Since making this decision I have had experience with students of all ages. I taught weekly lessons to 2nd and 4th graders during the first year of my program at Vanderbilt and then student taught in a fifth grade and a kindergarten. Although I enjoy teaching in all subjects, my favorites are Language Arts, Reading, Spanish and Science....

I believe that education is not only necessary for being successful academically and professionally, but also capable of enriching one’s life experiences. In my spare time,...

...- is to be found everywhere in the nature of the human brain; a living computer; a vast of potential of weighted logic gates which give rise to the substance of what we call learning when we - by our activities - so organize them. Even the most bizarre or inspired art - so I attest - comes from the negotiation and change of this substance of our minds, and there is real joy in...

...Learning Sciences (which is like a degree in Education with an emphasis on public policy.) I focused mostly on better teaching practices outside the classroom, utilizing technology to teach, and getting girls interested in Math and Science. I have an informal, friendly teaching style. I like to show students that they CAN do physics and math, even if they have a mental block that says they're "bad at it" or "just can't do it." I try...
