Hello! My name is Claire. I am from Middletown, New Jersey, and I recently graduated from Saint John Vianney High School.

Additionally, having completed my pre-university education in Singapore, I have strong foundations in Math and am confident that my methodology will help students gain a clear grasp of important concepts.

...taught me a lot about tutoring, including valuable lessons about different learning styles and communication. My approach to tutoring is typically to begin with a discussion with the students about what they feel their strengths and weaknesses are, and their past experiences with the subject being discussed. I have found that engaging with the student and opening a line of communication helps me to determine what the focus of a session should be and how...

...to connect with other authors and texts, and learning different languages allows me to do the same with different cultures. I have spoken French for 8 years, German for 4, and began to learn Spanish this past year. Tutoring is a very collaborative process for me, as the student cannot learn if they don't feel comfortable engaging with the materialI strive to make sure that sessions feel laidback and easy-to-follow as we work through any...

I have noticed life to be an amazingly beautiful thing that must be lived...

...to tutor computer science and programming. Besides tech, I also like reading, and have a particular knack for the English and Reading portions of the ACT and SAT. My philosophy for test taking success is to know the base material required to answer the questions, know the tactics to optimize approaches to questions, and to do practice problems and rigorously review mistakes. I aim to tutor students in the ACT and SAT using this philosophy,...

...high school graduating with AP French and one year placed in one of the highest undergraduate courses of French on campus. I have tutoring experience for 1.5 years in French with intermediate level French, along with informal teaching to my college friends.

To me, meaningful and productive learning begins with connection; I enjoy getting to know my students and seek to foster a comfortable, low-stress environment in which we can work together to capitalize upon strengths and interests, identify challenges, and explore a variety of strategies to maximize learning outcomes...

...was younger, and as a result am fluent in Spanish. I have been tutoring since high school, in subjects ranging from math to college application essays to Spanish. During the school year, I volunteer as a tutor and mentor for high school students attending public schools in the Boston area. While I have tutored many subjects, I am most passionate about math, chemistry, and Spanish reading/writing. I have always loved learning, and I have found...

...passionate about tutoring because I like guiding my students and helping them see problems in a much less complicated way. I have 5+ years of experience teaching and tutoring students of all levels from elementary school to college. Over the past years, I have loved seeing the same students who had difficulty in the subjects become masters in them under my assistance when I taught them simpler approaches. Looking forward to working with you :)

...level. Prior to signing up as an online tutor, I taught English to an elementary school student who had recently emigrated from Latin America, taught math to a middle school student with an IEP, taught math and science to high school students, and was hired by my college to teach biology and economics to students at my school. I got a 2100 on my SAT's and a 29 composite score on my ACT's (my scores...

...grade literature, eighth grade English, and a Freshmen Seminar course aimed at helping students adjust to the demands of high school. During my two years teaching, I built a reputation as a teacher who was always willing to help. I had students come to my tutoring hours for help in all of their subjects, from geometry to biology and Spanish. While I ultimately decided to pursue a law degree, I really miss teaching and sharing...

...comprehension can be immediately and clearly demonstrated. I generally design some sort of worksheet in order to walk the student through the process of figuring out the general concept in a unique way; for example, I will use an angle maze to teach geometric angle theorems. I am a proponent of the mindset that learning to learn is much more important than learning pure information, so I always focus more on the process than the...

I have experience tutoring at all levels, and one of my primary focus is to incorporate dialogic discourse into all of my tutoring sessions. This is a special type of teaching philosophy which focuses on allowing students to reach the answers rather than just showing them the right solution. I believe that a combination of dialogic discourse, critical thinking, and interest is necessary to truly understand a subject well.

The student's learning style has the highest priority, and I experiment with teaching methods to see what works best. Every academic discipline equally contributes to the development of a well-rounded and aware individual, so I try to communicate that the knowledge each student stands to gain is incredibly important for their present and future. When I'm not in class,...

I grew up tutoring three of my siblings and their friends in Math throughout Middle and High School. During that time, I also coached swimming and soccer.
