I strive to help students of all ages communicate clearly with their academic writing.

...tutor and have taken quite a few standardized exams. This has allowed me not only to master the information, but also to experience a variety of teaching styles. I know first hand how important it is to tailor teaching towards an individual and always work to make the most of my time spent with those I tutor. In my spare time I enjoy playing and listening to music, singing karaoke, playing tennis, and traveling.

...Microbiology, Biochemistry, Developmental Biology, and Evolutionary Biology. However, I've tutored other classmates in German, Spanish, chemistry, and physics. In addition to college courses, I've worked with classmates and colleagues to improve their GRE and MCAT scores, with the most improvement seen in the Critical Reading sections. I'm happy to work with students in these subjects, and many others. In my free time, I love going to trivia nights, rock wall climbing, kayaking, running, cooking, reading,...

...fellow students learn math and science. I feel like I can relate to many students because I have a variety of interests such as tennis, robotics, and reading. I try to make my sessions as fun as possible so that my students will remain interested in the subject matter for a longer period of time. I teach to the level of the student and explain using terms they will understand. Teaching others can sometimes seem...

...a traditional class. I don't lecture; Learning with me is a conversation in which we will talk through a concept together, and then the student proves their understanding by teaching it back. I try to break sessions up with timed quizzes, real world applications, and scenario problems whenever possible to keep the student engaged and energized. I understand most student's goals are to perform better in the classroom, and that is what we will work...

...is look it up on Google. Sometimes the answers aren't there, and sometimes they are there, but too difficult to understand. In this case, the first thing I do is send the problem to a friend and ask if they can help. Sometimes they can help, and sometimes they can't. At this point, I would wait just wait to go to class and hope that the teacher magically has the answers to that specific problem-...

...who were learning in an American-curriculum, English language based school much like the best independent schools here in the U.S. So now I am happily retired here in Lawrence, enjoying being close to family but missing that special satisfaction of sharing in the learning and growth of my students. I have a wealth of strategies and tools to bring to the learning process that I hope can help me to help any learner.

...ESL assignments. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am passionate about comparative religion, Spanish and SAT prep. I am a believer in practical based application and will always bring learning back to the "Why". I believe that this not only enhances a deeper understanding of a subject but also encourages overall retention. In my spare time, I enjoy a work-life balance that includes weight-lifting, podcast binging, meditation and yoga, reading and novel...

...understand the importance of education and have been exposed to and benefited from a wide range of teaching pedagogies and educational perspectives. To this end, I work for the kids, stressing their need for solid instruction in a rapidly changing educational economy, and want nothing less than a foundational approach to their learning that suits them and their goals. My teaching specialties are SAT and ACT test prep, K-12 mathematics, and college calculus. (I am...

...the bible. This experience gave me first hand experience in tailoring subjects to the learning styles of my students and also taught me how to bring subjects, often viewed as boring, to life for them. I really enjoy working with students on History and English, as well as Critical Reading and Writing test prep. I hope that my students come away from our sessions with both the factual foundation that will they need to succeed,...

...at the University of Missouri - Kansas City School of Medicine. My educational background includes two bachelor's degrees in psychology and general science. I know firsthand how frustrating and time-consuming it can be to study science, and I love helping students master difficult concepts and gain confidence. I also enjoy helping students prepare for standardized tests such as the SAT, ACT, and GRE. It can be particularly challenging to raise verbal, English, and reading scores...

...my MA in Latin from the University of Michigan, I found myself in unfamiliar territory. I had been a student my entire life, and suddenly, I was not. My eventual goal was (and still is) to earn a teaching certificate, but that is still a ways off. What else could I do? An idea hit me. Just because I am not a student anymore, however, does not mean I can't still dedicate myself to learning....

...University looking to major in Math and Computer Science. I got into tutoring during high school, as it was a requirement for being a part of my school's Math Honor Society. I enjoyed it far more than I expected and wanted to do more of it. While I can tutor on a variety of STEM topics, I enjoy tutoring with Math related subjects the most. I can help with anything from academic math subjects to...

...Additionally, as an ACT Instructor with Kaplan Test Prep, I facilitated two classes of high school juniors who were passionate about reaching their dreams, but just needed a bit of guidance on how best to tackle the pressures of mastering key concepts while giving their all on test day. While my experience with junior and high school students has been varied, my work regarding adults centers around professional and career development, having facilitated a number...

Hi. My name is Nicki. I have taught English for 44 years. Most of my experience is with high school or college. I love reading and writing and hope to pass some enthusiasm on to all my clients. I am not judgmental. I start where you are as a student and build on that knowledge. I can make learning fun and move at your pace. I would be honored to teach you my skills. ... My...

...of learning over time, focusing too long on one mistake, especially in grammar at least, is not as conducive as saying, good practice, we will keep working on this, and going to the next point. In lots of events, the thing that confuses them may become clearer through more examples of it, or from a different concept allowing the difficult to manage concept to "click". Focusing on one issue a student isn't grasping causes more...

I'm a master's student looking for a side gig over the summer. I enjoy teaching; I've student taught my peers through my own education plus two years of TA at a middle school. I like to make learning fun - riddles, puzzles, creative thinking over just filling in the right steps :)

...I added a credential to teach Spanish grades K-12. Learning and teaching Spanish was exciting for me because I traveled to Saltillo, a city in northern Mexico, to increase my exposure to native speakers and to experience another culture. I have eight years experience teaching Spanish to secondary students and 5 years teaching Spanish on line. Outside of teaching, I like to attend services of the Church with my family, do water aerobics, get together...

...be derailed by anxiety, missing previous information, poor study habits, or a psychological condition. I've worked with students with each of these problems (and more) and seen the vast majority improve their performance, which gives them confidence, which improves their performance even more. It's incredibly rewarding to be a positive example for students and watching their confidence grow until they forget what it was they were so worried about in the first place!

...me, the feeling I get when a student understands a concept they previously struggled with is priceless. I have tutored math and reading at the Boys and Girls club for five years in the past, and I also tutored Algebra 1 for a year when I was in high school. My ultimate goal is to help students get to a point where they feel confident enough about a subject that they can answer questions without...
