...in Kinesiology (exercise science) and Marketing. I'm currently a Physical Therapy student at Washington University in St. Louis. During my free time I enjoy figure skating, dancing, working out, and spending time with friends. I was also part of an improv group at school. I love the outdoors and enjoy hiking, biking, scuba diving, kayaking, and spending time on the beach. I look forward to working with you and helping you surpass your goals!... I try...

...fact, not folklore, that could surprise and inspire in ways no fiction ever could. Now I seek to promote that same passion in others, to bring to others an approach to history, economics, philosophy, and civics which views each of these seemingly separate subjects as parts of the greatest story ever written: the ever-evolving narrative of the human experience. Throughout my undergraduate career in Political Science at Truman State University, I allowed my interest in...

...me amazing opportunities to develop my knowledge and curiosity both inside and outside the classroom. I love constantly learning about the world around me, and love bringing that love of learning to those around me. I've always been the "nerd" but also always the person you'd ask about current events, the EPA ruling, or which Harvard philosophy professor most recently published. I truly believe your brain works better when you're excited and confident; therefore I...

...style. This education, combined with my experience as a teacher in Creighton's "Philosophy for Children" program, has helped me to understand that teaching, one-on-one or in a classroom setting, is something that I'm passionate about. I believe that dialogue between mentor and pupil, much in the style of Plato's works, is the most effective way of imparting knowledge. Despite how overbearing or intimidating that might sound, I also think that light, informal settings are the...

...horn. My essays and poetry have been recognized by numerous contests and conferences including the National PTA Reflections Arts Program, the Scholastic Writing Awards, and the Southeastern Writing Center Conference. I particularly love tutoring writing, language, and literature because becoming better communicators and readers enhances students??? understanding of the world around them, ability to connect with others, and opportunities for self-expression. In a practical sense, improving this set of skills also raises verbal test scores...

...learned specialized strategies for standardized tests. After receiving a perfect score of 800 on the math section of my SATs, I was invited to begin working at a private test prep company. My age and affable nature helped foster the relationship between younger, unruly students and their adult instructors. I received my Bachelor of Science in Physics from Florida Atlantic University and began tutoring college students, many of whom were returning to their education after...

...can learn from teaching! So, the tutor-student relationship is always a "win-win," so to speak. I graduated from Princeton University with a B.A. in English literature, and I'm currently working on a master's in teaching (English) at Washington University. I believe that active, attentive listening, enthusiasm, and a sense of humor are all crucial to successful tutoring. I have extensive one-on-one tutoring experience, primarily in the areas of test prep (ACT, SAT) and English language/composition....

...support students by taking on a growth mindset. Having studied the psychology of learning, I recognize that teaching students about how they learn is key to success in any subject. In addition to my experiences as a tutor and a mentor, I was a teaching fellow at an intensive teaching fellowship called Breakthrough Collaborative in San Francisco in which I learned specific teaching strategies such as strategic questioning, thought process verbalization, sentence starting, role reversal,...

...am very good at that. I've been teaching math for over a year, and hope to continue teaching for many more years. My primary focus is on eighth grade through junior year math, though I can tutor any age or experience level. I am also great with physics. I like to use a method that focuses on ensuring general understanding. I think it's more important that a student understands how an algorithm or function works,...

...community college. My students choose from the HSE or HiSet exam. I teach all four subjects needed to pass those exams. Four years of high school knowledge seems like an overwhelming amount to tackle. But unlike exams you may have taken in the past, the tests don't want memorization of times and places but the use of evidence to answer questions and draw conclusions. The math is around 55% algebra so that might need some...
