Helping students navigate through academics.

Teaching has always been a passion of mine. I have always been a good student, and still am as I am currently almost done completing my master's degree in Elementary Education and Special Education.

I know that parents and students get busy after school, I am flexible with my tutoring...

...in math and science. My favorite subjects are physics and chemistry because they are not based on memorization, but rather on the application. My learning philosophy is focused on practice problems. First, one should understand in-depth how and why the problem can be solved. Afterwards, doing more practice problems helps to solidify one's understanding and makes each subsequent problem easier. Outside of school, I teach singing lessons, mentor a mathcounts club and I play competitive...

In my free time, I like playing video games, practicing my Spanish on Duolingo, re-reading books from my childhood, and spending time with...

...the students get the key concepts. In that regard, I rely more on whiteboards than on PowerPoint presentations. For instance, when I am teaching DNA replication, I believe the more effective method is to draw and explain DNA structures on a whiteboard and explain each step individually. I see that many university instructors rely more on power points and, in the end, students become overwhelmed and remain confused. Whenever I am teaching, I make sure...

Hello! I'm Katie and I currently teach second grade, and absolutely love it! I have two teaching licenses in both Wisconsin and Ohio, and am licensed to teach grades preschool through eighth grade.

This gives students the chance to learn the material both correctly and efficiently as they are actually working through the material. I also do my best to make my explanations of concepts accessible and explain them in simple ways that allow students...

Many times, I had to make sure that students understood their projects and could reproduce and troubleshoot experiments. I...
