...that was perfect for my interests and learning style. This education, combined with my experience as a teacher in Creighton's "Philosophy for Children" program, has helped me to understand that teaching, one-on-one or in a classroom setting, is something that I'm passionate about. I believe that dialogue between mentor and pupil, much in the style of Plato's works, is the most effective way of imparting knowledge. Despite how overbearing or intimidating that might sound, I...

...a few times, but I quickly realized that being on the teacher side of education gives a whole new perspective on the subject matter, and I find it very interesting.

...on valuable knowledge to another person! I can teach people how to improve their performance on the ACT, SAT, and GMAT standardized tests. In addition, I can teach algebra, geometry, and Chinese at all levels. My favorite subject to teach is the GMAT exam because the level of required logical deduction really challenges thinking to new heights. Data sufficiency in the quantitative section provides a unique twist in solving math, and I always feel happy...

...good at that. I've been teaching math for over a year, and hope to continue teaching for many more years. My primary focus is on eighth grade through junior year math, though I can tutor any age or experience level. I am also great with physics. I like to use a method that focuses on ensuring general understanding. I think it's more important that a student understands how an algorithm or function works, rather than...

...department. Specifically with my Division I cross-country team, I noticed that membership in our program did not require a community service component. I believe it is important to serve other people as an organization, so I helped to reinitiate a tutoring program between our team and a local nearby elementary school. In this program, athletes from our team go to the school for an hour a week to offer help in reading or math. The...

...Upon realizing this, I looked for further opportunities to tutor other students, at which point I came across Varsity Tutors. My strongest subjects include English, ACT, DAT, Algebra,and Biology.

I have come to understand that a great tutor is someone who can understand how a particular student learns and...

...and/or didn't have the confidence in themselves to excel in it. I took that as a personal challenge, and looked forward to working one-on-one with my students. I was able to see the light bulb come on when a they "got it" and I could see their confidence growing. I love being a part of that process, which is why I became a teacher. I look forward to helping more students succeed in math, and...

...my high school years and was involved in local tutoring programs as well. I am going to be home during the summer months and I am available to tutor almost any time during the week.

I am strongest in the areas of English, essay writing, and ACT prep and prefer to tutor these subjects but I am willing and able to tackle other...

...recently moved back to St. Louis from New York City, where I was Associate Director of Analytics for a digital advertising agency. Math, statistics and economics have always been the subjects I enjoyed learning about the most and in which I excelled.

...courses for my major and have an interesting way of being applied to the real world. I would describe my teaching style to be very flexible and dependent on the student as everyone learns with different techniques. Often times students don't necessarily understand something in class because they don't prefer the teaching style and so I think as a tutor it is important for me to have various approaches to different problems ready. Outside of...

...approaching both tests. I know both the ACT and the SAT inside and out. I can both help students quickly improve their test scores through simple test-taking tricks, but I can also help them develop their abilities and strengthen their conceptual grasp of a more difficult field. I find I get the strongest improvement in the reading and math sections. For STEM subjects specifically, my dual major allows me to communicate math ideas better than...

...think of a problem. For me, I recognize that everyone's learning style, pace, and mindset is different. It's incredibly important to me to establish communication with my student(s). In terms of my teaching style, I tend to ask open ended questions both to guide the student and to go beyond the example presented to prepare for tougher questions that may show up on exams. Aside from tutoring, I'm involved in a couple of nonprofits. I...

...at the college and university level. I enjoy questions and personal satisfaction with every student's success. Many times a student is very capable but just is struggling with the language of a subject. The key is to not talk to a student in math, but in a language that makes sense to them. With years of college teaching experience, I have had great success in reaching those students who are bright and willing but just...
