I believe that all students have what it takes to succeed in school, its just a matter of finding the...

...enjoy teaching math to my students, but I mainly like to focus on helping my students develop independent study skills that will support them through life. What this means is building up the analytical skills that they will need to prepare and study for assignments and tests when they're going to go to college.

...undergrad at Washington University in St. Louis, MO. I've loved science since I was a little kid (I was that weird girl playing with dirt and rocks during recess). I did what I like to call the "Nerd Trifecta" in high school: math team, knowledge bowl, and science olympiad. I've tutored since I was in middle school, and I love finding an explanation or analogy to help someone else really grasp a concept! I'm applying...

...is not working, there is another method out there that can work, and we should use it. If a student I'm working with is struggling with a particular literary work that they need to read for school, I will read that book.

...students with their writing projects. Helping students develop and perfect their papers and essays has become one of my favorite parts of teaching. I've also come to actually enjoy preparing for standardized tests, and hope to share some of that enjoyment with my students. Standardized tests are like puzzles, and predictable puzzles at that: once you learn to crack the code, you realize that they're not so scary after all! It's really important to me...

...students to adult learners. The best part of tutoring for me is when a student truly begins to enjoy a subject that they initially found difficult.

I also studied the plant and animal life here in North America. As a tutor and teaching assistant, I did group and individual tutoring, sometimes working with a student...

...be complicated, and it is not something you get right away. I believe with practice and skill one can be better able to understand it. I know this because I also grew up not liking Math but ironically ended up teaching it. I believe you need to be patient and understand the student's strengths and weakness in order to effectively teach Math to students. Relating Math to real life examples can make it more interesting...
