...preparing for entrance exams. My approach to teaching is to be collaborative and thorough. I always appreciated teachers who broke things down into simple pieces, explained things in a methodical manner, and never made me feel bad for not understanding right away. So I hope to do the same with all my students. At the end of the day, I aim to help all my students achieve their objectives. I'm a graduate from Georgetown University...

I am a recent graduate of Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio holding a BA in Drama and Chinese Area Studies. I come from a family of creative educators. I have experience teaching and mentoring writing, reading, Chinese language, and English language immersion for native Chinese speakers. I love working one-on-one with young people to develop their academic skills while also giving them an example of supportive interpersonal interaction.

...I had very few mentors and went about the process blindly. I decided I wouldn't allow anyone else I knew go through the same thing. I began working as a pre-college mentor while at Maryland and it was one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had. I am a very hands on type of teacher. I love to cut, sort, glue, color, etc during my lessons. I try to incorporate all these things...

...succeed. My whole life, whether it has been academics, career advice, or standardized testing, I have always helped those around me strive to do better. My parents raised me to be kind and understanding, but I also have the courage and ability to be honest in order to help people improve themselves. I spent four years in college as an editor of a constitutional democracy journal, culminating in the position of editor in chief, so...

...wherever there was a need for one. During my time working as a Research Technician at Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C., I mentored high school students in biological concepts, laboratory techniques, and data analysis. I taught them in such a way that by the end of the summer, they were able to not only explain and execute experiments, but also articulate the scientific background and significance to other researchers. During my time at...

...solidify my understanding of what it means to be a teacher. A 'good teacher' has to be ready to change, to be willing to admit when an assignment or learning strategy has fallen short of the mark and when traditional teaching methods have to be reassessed and reformulated. A 'good teacher' grows with his or her students and all parties leave the classroom as more highly skilled learners and teachers than they were when they...

...middle school and high school teacher. I believe all students can succeed if give the right tools and support. I have experience working with students of all age/grade levels on subjects ranging from history, English, writing, math, and test prep. I believe in empowering students with the skills they can apply across their course work. No two students learn exactly the same way and I spend time getting to know personal learning styles to better...

...I believe in a semi-holistic approach where I learn more about the student as a whole and build their foundational skills to make them a more well-rounded student and a better learner. My Bachelor's of Science in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is from Stockton University. I became passionate about tutoring in my undergraduate studies at Stockton. While it originally started so I could help myself review for the MCAT and my senior classes, I genuinely...

...major. I enjoy math and biology (can you tell!), and love to teach. I've tutored students mainly from elementary school to high school for the past 10 years either for extra money on the side or as a volunteer for disadvantaged students, all the while pursuing my own studies. I like to be an efficient tutor by emphasizing strategies to learn rather than merely forcing my students to memorize their textbooks, although sometimes that is...

I worked at Kumon and have experience working with preschool, elementary, and middle school students as well. I am very comfortable tutoring in math and science up to the high school/intro college level. I am passionate about teaching and it is important...

In my teaching and tutoring, I have worked with students from many backgrounds on several subjects, and in grades K-12. I have served as mentor for...

...University and received a Masters of Public Administration, with studies focused on Social Policy and Non-Profit Management/Leadership. I have tutored children and youth for over 10 years, grades 3 12, working primarily with "at-risk" students in danger of failing classes and/or not graduating from high school. My students have come from structured after school programs, community based organizations/church referrals and word-of-mouth. I assist young people in study skills/organizational skills, homework completion, understanding subject matter, college...

...second-year student at the American University Washington College of Law and am currently concentrating on intellectual property law. Originally from California, I grew up speaking a mixture of Chinese and Vietnamese at home while learning English and Spanish in school. While I love learning new languages and about new cultures, I most enjoyed writing and reading in school. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, creating short films, and browsing independent book stores for leisure...

I see my role as a tutor as one in which I first create an environment that facilitates learning while I provide the supplemental instruction. In this way, I will also be working to build the student's confidence to help them succeed in their academic pursuits.

I am currently living in Washington, D.C. as a graduate student at Georgetown University. I am studying international affairs and European studies in the School of Foreign Service. In May 2018, I graduated from Rutgers University with a B.A. in French and English. I studied abroad at La Sorbonne and was formerly an intern at the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in New York City.

...What surprised me was how much I came to enjoy itnot just helping students understand the material, but watching their confidence grow as they realized they could handle things they once found intimidating. Now I work with middle and high school students on math and test prep. My approach is simple: meet students where they are, figure out how they think, and help them build the tools they need to problem-solve on their own. I...

...read and write. I love both learning and teaching, and I'm a very social person. I am eager to share my experiences of success (and failure) to help my students do well in their own experiences. I love to travel and experience new things, and I love to integrate my experiences into my learning and my life. I have some tutoring experience, having worked with two fourth-grade aged children on their English skills, including grammar,...

While in Rochester, I also worked in the Undergraduate Admissions Office, and helped guide high school students through...
