...and plays. I was a peer tutor at Loyola for two years and have been a private tutor for the past year. It has been a very fulfilling experience and a skill I would like to continue developing. It is such a joy for me to see the light of understanding in my students' eyes and be able to track their progress and academic achievements. I love the challenge of catering to each person's learning...

...I was teaching. My tutoring students make significant progress in both test prep and general skills. I work well with and have experience with all types of learners: both students who are below grade-level, and students who are above grade-level and need a challenge. My teaching style is energetic and approachable and my students often tell me that I give very clear and direct explanations. I lead students to learn by encouraging them to speak...

...of introductory science courses at the University of Michigan. Post-graduation, I have continued to tutor full-time in addition to doing research through the Michigan Clinical Outcomes Research and Reporting Program. I believe that all of the students I work with are intelligent, but often lecture-based learning does not fit their personal learning style. I love working with students to bridge this learning gap, helping them to genuinely understand course content and master homework and exams.

...After I graduated, I co-instructed an international summer science course offered by UofM for high school aged students. This was a lab based course that investigated topics in genetics and developmental biology. I had a lot of fun working hands-on with biological specimens, and it was a thrill to create a contagious learning environment. I believe that every student is unique and a tailored approach to his or her learning style is vital to their...

...reinforcing the material in a different way really improves overall understanding and scores. I love to see my students succeed and become more confident in a subject. My teaching style is to focus on what the student finds to be the weak point, while also providing examples and supplemental materials to further the understanding.

...spectator sport, and I encourage my students to be actively involved from the start of our tutoring session. I also believe that positive reinforcement is a vital part of the tutoring process, as this helps cultivate an eagerness to learn. I am a native San Diegan and recently received my BS in Microbiology from the University of California, Davis. During my undergraduate career, I mentored college-age women who were struggling with academics. As a mentor,...

...challenging chemistry, physics, and biology courses. After graduating from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor two years early, I have been spending most of my time doing research. My research projects have ranged from molecular biology, biochemistry, and computational biology to applied chemistry, nanomaterials, and algorithm development. I think that I have received enough experience not only to be an expert in these fields, but also confidently share my knowledge with my students.

...in Biology and have a minor in Hispanic Studies. I have a lot of informal tutoring experience. I always enjoyed helping out fellow classmates through the years and helping my younger siblings. During my last year in college, I also tutored basic Biology at the local high school. I tutor high school math up until precalculus, (Algebra I and II, pre-calc) basic-to intermediate Spanish (Spanish I-IV), some basic conversational Spanish and Biology. When I tutor,...

I believe that any concept can be learned no matter how difficult it may seem. With over a decade of experience in education I am confident that I could help you learn anything. I have taught almost everything, including English Language Arts, US and World History, Government, and an ACT Preparation Course. Humor, patience, real-life experiences, and visual aids are all key to how I help students understand new knowledge and achieve success!

...in the education industry, I actively started pursuing learning opportunities in these areas. I worked as a teacher's assistant throughout my undergraduate and graduate education at the University of Michigan, took an active role in an Industrial Engineering Honor Society (Alpha Pi Mu) in which I tutored and advised Industrial Engineering peers and was part of the University of Michigan Boxing Team and thought peers boxing Technics. In addition, my current position at the University...
