Award-Winning Ruby Tutors

...country, mostly on bicycle, for the year since then. I'm interested in sharing introductory coding and math skills with people in communities that wouldn't necessarily get them in the education system, especially as tools to further activist work. To this end I want to get some practice one-on-one teaching these subjects! I'm also interested in tutoring test prep and essay writing to people in high school, after having taught test prep through the Lets Get...

...Currently, I'm working towards a Bachelor's degree in Finance at Portland Community College. I have been a formal and informal tutor over the last eight years. My philosophy is that there are always a couple of simple, crucial keys to success in any subject, and I'm looking to pass what I've learned over the years to students. I'm into politics (I'm a former government major), sports (especially basketball), video games, and reading. I have a...

...on a problem or concept, so when teaching I use scaffolding to break concepts down into manageable parts. I have experience teaching Computer Science to a classroom of 20 high school students from different socioeconomic backgrounds. This included daily lectures, mentoring, and one on one tutoring/debugging, among other responsibilities. I also gained experience tutoring college students during my time as an undergraduate. I emphasize understanding the concepts behind a problem, not just getting the assignment...

...at Seattle University. I moved to the west coast from Minnesota for school, and love it here! I tutor all ACT subjects as well as Computer Science. I enjoy working with students, not only because I enjoy teaching but because I feel the best way to really master a subject is by helping others understand it. I look forward to working with some great students! Outside of teaching and class, I enjoy watching and playing...

I am a passionate individual compelled to teach, motivate and inspire every learner I encounter. I take every opportunity I get to learn something new and share that information with as many people as possible.

I take advantage of it and the opportunity to become better than I...

I am super interested in web development and love helping solve first world problems with technology.... I enjoy helping to explain concepts and see small problems understood, because those are the building blocks for completing larger problems.... I want to understand their goals for these sessions, how much they know about the topic, and what kind of pace they would like to move at.... I can help a student become an independent learner by teaching them...

...confidence in their abilities as well as to grow and develop as a teacher myself. I have learned so much about myself and subject areas by tutoring, and that helps me give even more to my students. I believe learning is at it's fullest when it is a collaborative experience. Although there are times when I need to directly provide information as a tutor (and to give students tools for retaining that information), I prefer...

...subjects in which a student can feel completely lost or stuck. In my experience, the small steps which can easily be gained in these subjects make a huge difference. The results are noticeable and applicable. I am a lifelong learner and am always reading/learning new things. I love theater, knitting, and technology. I am a graduate of Rowan University and Montclair State University earning a Bachelor of Arts in Theater Education and a Master of...

I am a student at Baruch College majoring in Statistics and Quantitative Modeling. I put great emphasis on helping my students to grasp concepts and gain full understanding, as apposed to memorization and following procedure to solve problems.

...taken the SAT, two SAT subject tests, and 5 AP tests only a couple years ago, so I feel like I am well suited to help other students who are in the position that I was just in recently.

Avid lifelong learner, I love learning new things and sharing what I've learned. I do just a little bit of everything math, science, art, music, coding, etc. I'm focused on accelerating and improving the process of learning itself in addition to any specific content we're going over. When I'm not tutoring I'm likely working on my startup or practicing one of my hobbies. I love trying new things and learning how to make my way...

...Personally, I believe that all students are capable of learning any topic, and that this can be accomplished by truly picturing exactly how all these concepts work in their head. And exactly how the concepts are pictured is dependent on the learning style of the student, which I will help them discover through the process of tutoring. Discovering this learning style is incredibly important both to me teaching a student, but also to teach a...

...also passionate about teaching. During college I worked for two semesters as a Teaching Assistant for the class "Introduction to Scientific Data Analysis and Computing" and for one semester as a Learning Assistant for "Astronomy 2."

...me worked. That love has helped me to achieve so much in life, and it's that love of learning that I want to share. When students are self-motivated to get better, their odds of success increase, but more importantly, they begin to enjoy what they're doing. As I pursue my B.S. degree in Computer Science at Penn State University, I want to be able to share my love of learning beyond just my University Park...

...I have a lot of academic interests, but I primarily tutor in Mathematics and Computer Science. I believe that a quality education is extraordinarily important, and that with enough effort and time, it's possible to learn anything. In my experiences, I find asking questions and using the Socratic method is very useful in illustrating key fundamentals that might be overlooked by the student. My goal isn't to lecture whomever I'm tutoring, but to facilitate the...

...that old ??? not me :^) I earned an honors degree in Physics from the University of Waterloo. I tutored a Freshman Physics class as a teaching assistant and provided online tutoring via the Star Tribune homework help web site. In general, I enjoy tutoring Mathematics and Physics. I also enjoy hiking and orienteering, which is an application of Mathematics to transcribe back and forth between an abstract map and the physical landscape. As your...

...that everyone has the potential to become a top student. I've been tutoring for over 4 years now and in that time, I've learned a ton of effective teaching methods. I've also learned many that don't work at all - we will skip those. My goal is to have you learn as much as possible, as efficiently as possible, while having as much fun as possible. Whether you want to explore subject fundamentals or just...
