...my childhood and adulthood. Before I had even actualized this as my goal, for years I have known the joys of tutoring and working with a young child who looks to you for more than just the answers to his homework. Starting from when I was twelve, I have been a tutor to many kids of all ages and learning abilities from grades four to sophomore year of college. My goal is to not only...

...subjects. My tutoring style can best be described as collaborative. Much of the time the problems we will tackle together will be difficult or confusing, and I will guide our work to hone in on exactly where the difficulty lies. While working to use our time efficiently, I also believe that an intense, lecture-driven approach is rarely conducive to fostering an atmosphere of curiosity and willingness to try. Therefore, I will regularly solicit feedback, encourage...

...like I'm speaking a foreign language to them. I get a personal sense of satisfaction when someone stops and goes, "oh, I've never thought of it that way before - now it all makes sense." In addition, often times I feel the education system here is misunderstood and students spend too much time memorizing "steps" to a subject rather than learning it, and inevitably end up failing when they are required to utilize the knowledge...

...First, students do not have the fundamental skills to understand the content they are being taught. This can range from students having reading deficiencies to students not having basic math skills. The second reason students have issues is because they are bored with the content and choose not to study. These students are capable of completing assignments, but they are not invested in the work. As your child's tutor, I figure out which issue (knowledge...

Over the last few years I have had the pleasure of tutoring some of the most athletically talented students at Temple University. The best part of the job has always been the teammate like relationship we form when setting academic goals together and then reaching them for the student using tools tailored to the student's study style and needs. ... I believe the student's goals for the class are what drives our productivity, so it is...

...I'm Christine, a chill academic punk originally from the Pacific Northwest. I came to Philly 4 years ago to experience a brand new scene, one I'd only heard was rough around the edges but filled with soul. Since then I've fallen in love with the city and hope to embody the genuine and organically fiery spirit instilled in the people here. Wherever I am though I'll always retain the subdued spirit of the forests, mountains,...

...I am most adept at Physics, Astronomy and Math, I have always had a passion for English Grammar, proofreading and editing. That same love of English helps me when trying to communicate mathematical and scientific ideas to those for whom the sciences are a struggle. Conversely, I feel that my science background helps me teach English to people who excel more in the sciences. In my free time I like to cook, read, play bridge...

I am a very flexible tutor willing to work around students' schedules.

...extensively for each tutoring session so they are as productive as possible. My previous students have received A's in difficult engineering courses such as thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and fluid dynamics. As a Ph.D. student, I am constantly confronted with challenging engineering and science problems which require critical problem solving and I try to help students with develop this same type of intellectual autonomy which is usually neglected in large classrooms. Besides helping students develop to...

...have been teaching or tutoring in one form or another since my senior year of high school, and I plan to one day get a Master's degree in teaching science. My strongest subject is Chemistry, and I pride myself in knowing and sharing why things work the way they do. I consider Bill Nye one of my idols and wish to spark the same kind of passion for science in others that people like him...

...conceptual holes that must be filled through a detailed understanding of a course's core material. I want my students to become fluent in the basic language of their subject. Once a student has mastered the foundational concepts he can intuitively comprehend more advanced material instead of relying on memorization. For example, a student working on trigonometry cannot effectively understand cotangents or complex trig inequalities until he/she is comfortable manipulating the sin, cos and tangent functions....

Hi, I'm Jonathan Yushuvayev (Don't worry about pronouncing that correctly)! I really love math and science, almost as much as I love TUTORING math and science.
