I'd start off by asking what the student is interested in, in both subject and extracurricular. Then, I'd ask...

...the summer of 2018. These experiences have allowed me to develop an even greater appreciation for the sciences than what Ive learned through textbook learning alone. Through tutoring, I hope to instill the same level of excitement and subject appreciation in my students, not just in the sciences; but in a variety of subjects, such as English, Writing, and Math. More generally, I want my students to learn to value education and use it as...

...and for intellectual advancement. I believe my track record as a successful student - as someone who has had a strong first year in the Ivy League, who is currently researching with two professors, and who has prior tutoring experience - displays my profound desire to learn and to help others learn. I have a strong standardized testing record which complements the skills and motivation I have to teach. In my spare time, I am...

...students' test scores and their true understanding of the material. I have 3 years experience as a classroom teacher in a range of environments, along with 3 years tutoring experience.

I have helped students succeed in math from Algebra 1 through Calculus, though I would be ready and willing to work on...

...offer useful strategies for preparing, studying, and learning. In addition, I have prior experience with teaching. A former math tutor at Kumon (an after-school enrichment center), I have taught levels of mathematics ranging from basic arithmetic through advanced calculus to students of all ages. It is my belief that knowledge is very much like a tree. Without a trunk and branches, there is nothing for the twigs and leaves to hang onto. As students progress...

...I endeavor to interest students in any topic (but especially math) by giving them a sense of a larger context. In particular, I love to bring college-level math concepts to students in a way anyone can understand, which often demonstrates WHY the math they're doing matters. It also shows that math can be just plain cool, which I don't think our curricula prioritize enough. Besides teaching, I enjoy practicing parkour and tricking (acrobatic martial arts),...

...while working at the NIH for a year. During college, I spent a lot of my time tutoring peers and elementary/middle school children in Chester, PA, volunteering at local hospice facilities and at HUP (Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania), and doing research at the Cleveland Clinic. I have also tutored abroad in Korea in standardized test prep like SAT, MCAT, and SAT II. In my free time, I enjoy dancing and cooking, as well...

I want to help students understand math and science on a deeper level and build good mathematical and scientific intuition. I work closely with my students to find ways to teach that best complement their learning style.... I want to help students understand that learning for its own sake is more important than learning for any grade, test, or assignment.... I want to get to know the student personally, their strengths and weaknesses, hobbies, favorite and...

...style is that I have struggled with ADHD throughout my academic career. As a result, I have plenty of tips and strategies to pass along to other students who may have ADHD/other learning disabilities, or even just difficulty with organization, executive functioning, or time management. We may be wired a little bit differently from other students, but trust me, we can manage any and all of these issues - it's just a matter of anticipating...

...preparing people for a range of tests and tasks. I also walk/jog 50-plus miles a week, do yoga, and exercise my critical thinking skills regularly. My students since 1979 have ranged from middle school urban and rural to university level juniors and seniors. While I spent almost ten years teaching higher ed. English Composition, Literature, and Research, the majority of my teaching time was in college preparatory curricula. I make a room comfortable when I...

...I was taking high school history years ago. I had caring mentors who helped me learn the strategies that helped me earn 5s and 4s on five different social studies AP tests. I'm passionate about sharing these tools with current students. AP tests can seem overwhelming, but with a little practice, students can quickly realize that they have more skills than they thought. I have wide availability while I'm home for the summer, so don't...

I have been teaching high school English for the past 14 years. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from John Carroll University, with a degree in English. I also have a master's degree in Education from Marygrove College. I look forward to a productive tutoring experience.

...subjects to tutor are biology and math. My teaching philosophy is one of guided practice. I find that the most effective way to teach is to give a step by step explanation, and have the student answer conceptual questions, with the ultimate intent of the student replicating the process on their own. To me, the most fulfilling moment of tutoring is reaching the "light bulb moment" that moment when everything clicks for the student, and...

...with math and is actually applicable to real life. My learning philosophy is to just do practice problems. The more practice, the easier each problem will be. Somebody can spend all day just studying notes, but he or she will learn best by just doing practice problems. Outside of school, I own a website design business and I enjoy to do anything outdoors. I love snow skiing, water skiing, boating, hiking, and fishing.

...many ways. I am a patient person, having experience with children in hospital waiting rooms and helping my younger siblings with school. My favorite subjects to tutor are algebra, pre-calculus, and geometry, but I also tutor other subjects within math, art, and computer science. I believe that learning should be fun, and that since all knowledge is cumulative, hopefully the things I teach will become lifelong lessons. Besides tutoring, I enjoy swimming, rock climbing, and...

I am a chemical and environmental engineer of long experience who has a knack for explaining science and math concepts in ways that students can understand, helping them to get the concepts. I also help students with their homework in all those areas. While my strong suit is math and science, I can also help explain concepts in English, writing, history, and social studies, as well as edit/proofread papers as needed.... While I am not expert...

Work hard; study smart.

...teach and I hope that working with Varsity Tutors and my clients will help me prepare to be a better teacher. I've always loved school, mainly because I had teachers who were extremely inspired by what they were teaching. They are why I think passion is the key to teaching and I hope to share my passion for learning with my clients. I think that a good teacher or tutor can be the difference between...

...GED, and more. I also tutor for many AP subjects including American History and Italian Language. My favorite subjects to teach are English language and Italian language. There is something about helping others achieve their goals of communicating in another language that brings me joy. As a lover of travel and culture, languages naturally fascinate me. My teaching philosophy is strongly based on elicitation and helping students arrive at the answer on their own by...

...In 2015, I worked at the HHC as their Homework Help Associate, requiring me to work with students K-12 in a myriad of subjects, each needing me to produce a personal approach to how I could aid them. Currently, I work as an Image Analyst for the Ophthalmology department of Case Western Reserve University. The subjects I most prefer to tutor are the sciences and mathematics. I always viewed these subjects as logic games that...
