The schools systems, unfortunately, do not have the resources to work with each individual student. It's for this reason...

...in the American Gilded Age. As a tutor, I prefer to emphasize critical thinking and technique over memorization. A student who memorizes the answers can pass a test, but a student who knows how to effectively research and problem-solve can excel in anything they do.

I assume responsibility that my student is learning and that my student is learning at higher and higher levels, in accordance with Bloom's Taxonomy.

I have always taken pride in academic achievement, and I am able to share that enthusiasm for accomplishment with my students through engaging teaching strategies as well as forging interpersonal relationships....

...Most importantly, I want to know the student's ultimate goal, so we can conquer obstacles together. As a tutor, I want to cultivate a warm and productive environment (even virtually). A typical session with me typically looks like: - Check-in (How are you doing today on a scale of 1-10?) - SMART goal setting - Review assignment / skill - I will model the strategy best fit for you - Guide you through practice - Monitor...

...Corporation. I am a competitive swimmer and love to 3D model, do puzzles, and personal projects in my free time. I have always gravitated towards STEM topics and grew to love them as I learned more about them. I learned early on that you know the material well if you can fully explain a subject to a person and have them understand the topic as a result. Helping my peers became a way for me...

...able to thrive within their educational environments. My objective as both teacher and tutor, is to first identify the root cause(s) of any confusion or difficulty, and then to develop a method, suited to the needs of the individual student, for reconstructing understanding in a way that makes sense.

...Economics at Washington University in St. Louis. However, I never forgot Intercultura and the freedom it allowed me to pursue my budding academic interests. I have tried to bring that same principle of student self-construction into my role as a tutor; whether I've been preparing collegians for the LSAT, or helping kindergarteners learn to read. I enjoy working with each student to find the best way for him/her to attack the subject material. I am...

I tutor college-level chemistry through Organic II, college-level physics through Electricity & Magnetism, and any and all math classes from middle-school math through college-level calculus.

Educating students is more than placing them in a school, it's about igniting their passions and that is what I aim to do as an educator. As a student, I fell in love with language and it quickly became my passion. To me, language...
