...as part of the singing group Whim 'n Rhythm. On that trip, I taught a cappella, singing and choral workshops with students of all ages. It was incredible and hugely affirming -- music is truly a global language! My goal is to help my students become more comfortable writers, readers and critical thinkers while also providing a supportive -- and fun! -- learning environment. For me, tutoring isn't just about the assignment at hand, but about...

...In addition, I have also authored a paper and experiment on Time Domain Nuclear Magnetic Resonance in relation to nutritional content of animal feed, at Princeton University. Throughout my education, I have also participated in pine snake migration studies, lion fish epidemic research, coral bleaching surveys, animal nutritional analysis techniques, and various microbiology and organic chemistry experiments. My ultimate goal is to one day introduce entomology into public schools. Hopefully, combining my teaching background with...

...and Spanish fluently. I have worked as a tutor for my entire academic career in various subjects. My teaching and tutoring style is collaborative; I like to work with my students to help them understand rather than lecturing them. Not only am I passionate about teaching and tutoring, but I am also an avid learner. I love learning about new things and know I can learn from anyone, especially my students. Learning is a collaborative...

...learning can, and should be fun. My students and I generally have a good time working together. I only teach subjects I'm passionate about, and it shows in my students' progress, and in their growing love and/or tolerance of the material. When I'm not helping others with their writing, I'm working on my own. I write fiction and essays. My work has appeared in the New York Times, and a wide variety of literary magazines....

...students learn in the easiest and most effective way possible. My favorite subject to teach is math, specifically the SAT/ACT math sections. As someone who values education and intellectual curiosity, I hope to impose this same philosophy on my students. In my 7+ months working with Varsity Tutors, I have found profound satisfaction in helping students to the top of their class and increasing their test scores. I am a very flexible tutor willing to...

...Chinese, Test Prep, Mathematics, and English, with a particular love for critical reading and writing of dramatic literature. Balancing process and structure is key for me so I make sure we start each session by setting goals for that session and then returning to them at the end, thereby ensuring the student can point to a measure of accomplishment within our time together. Aside from front handsprings, I absolutely love fantasy novels, science fiction and...

...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, and water of the Pacific Northwest.... My favorite teachers and...

...time. My success as a tutor is also in part due to my patience with anyone struggling to understand a concept; I am willing to repeat something I have said or done many times. Additionally, if I am teaching someone a skill, I make sure to let them try it, and ensure them that getting it wrong a few times is alright. It's impossible to learn without making mistakes, and even tougher to learn without...

...where I was part of a tutoring program at my culture center where I worked. I would go to local Piscataway and Charter Schools to tutor mathematics ranging from grades 6-12. I'm really confident in tutoring any kind of mathematics from grades K-12. My teaching philosophy is generally to practice practice practice until a concept is down. I always try and make sure that anyone that I teach completely understands why they are using certain...

I tutor in writing (creative writing, research writing, college admissions essays), Standardized Test preparation (Critical Reading and Writing), grammar and mechanics, vocabulary, and social studies (human geography, political science).

The best thing about tutoring is the way in which a tutor and tutee can learn from each other during a session - open dialogue can help make...

...and mentoring to make a difference in my community. I am currently president of MIT SHINE for Girls, a math and dance outreach program at MIT that invites middle school girls from under-served school districts to campus once a week to dance and learn math. I really enjoy forming a mentor-mentee relationship with a student and building their confidence, showing them that they can achieve more than they ever believed. For that reason, tutoring has...

Every student is different- just because the book says there is one way to solve a problem, does not mean it is the only way. I work with students to help them with the process of 'discovery' through questioning and experimentation. Ultimately, if I've done my job correctly, you won't need me at all!... The student needs to celebrate the small victories. It does not matter the size of the progress being made as long as...

My strengths include making and maintaining personal connections while being professional and courteous. I look forward to working with you and making your goals a...

...this philosophy, finding creative ways to approach complex concepts. For example, I might steer a writing student studying organic chemistry to explain a reaction as a narrative of molecular interactions, rather than beginning with a complex problem. In the context of shifting careers, I have also taken a number of standardized tests, including the SAT, ACT, GRE, and MCAT. My approach with these tests emphasizes strategy over content; a particular vocabulary word may or may not...
