I participated in a program called project FOCUS (Fostering Our Children's Understanding in Science); through this program I taught students in grades K-5 science. I developed lesson plans and projects that helped the students gain interest in science, as...

...been an avid reader and writer, so my passion is teaching students to love books, reading, and writing. During my career I have taught grades 7 through 12 and a few community college university transfer courses. After receiving my Master's Degree in English from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, I was afforded an opportunity to study abroad at the University of the West Indies. Basically, a few other teachers and I were able...

I have previously taken and received an A in each class that I tutor. I have taken numerous higher level classes in both chemistry and biology, and have developed a much simpler framework for understanding basic chemistry and biology concepts. I am currently...

...practice enhanced through multi-faceted approaches. My role as a tutor is to provide insight and direction to the learning process. After all, not only have I learned the material once but I have also observed multiple people learn the same material. In addition, through my research experience I have implemented the classroom lessons into real life problems. I enjoy incorporating my research into my teaching/tutoring. I can draw from experiences of commonly misunderstood concepts that...

If you are looking for an LSAT tutor I am eager to help there as well. I decided to take the path to become an environmental lawyer and spent 3-4 months strategizing and preparing for the rigorous exam process that is the LSAT. I was not a "natural" but through...

...mechanical engineering. While I was in school, I had many classmates who were great at explaining subjects to me. Toward the end of my college career, I was able to do the same with other classmates, and I find I really enjoy helping other students understand subjects, especially math. I bring myself alongside students to figure out how they learn best and adjust my teaching style accordingly. I love it when students understand the material...

...geometry, and trigonometry. I also tutored students in various chemistry subjects as well as physics I and II. After graduating from Gannon University, I moved to Richmond, VA to get my PhD in Chemistry at Virginia Commonwealth University. At VCU, I took several graduate level chemistry courses that have sharpened my expertise, as well as engaging in graduate level research for the past five years, specializing in physical chemistry, and publishing two first-author papers in...

...program in Costa Rica, where I had the privilege of meeting and speaking with people from several different backgrounds, such as an indigenous tribe and the "ancianos" from a senior living home. Because this invaluable experience, I am continuing my studies in Spanish language and culture. Because I graduated high school only a year ago, the subjects that I was taught are still fresh in my mind, especially AP courses. I am very familiar with...

...Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I received a double degree in Public Policy and Information Science. Post college, I completed a two-year teaching fellowship with Teach for America where I taught middle school math in the morning and took pre-med courses in the evening. I love teaching through empowering learners, and believe standardized testing is dependent on both a trained skill and deeply understood content. I love baking, reading, and digital art in my free...

...really liked to help people. After all, that is also one of the reasons I'm pursuing nursing. I am a current nursing student at the University of North Carolina Wilmington and I have loved it so far. The subject and/or area I am typically best with is simply organization and study habits. It can be hard to figure out what study habits work for you across different subjects and to find the best way of scheduling...

...moving out of state, I decided to temporarily leave the labs to spend some valuable time with my family. Honestly, I was a little hesitant at leaving the world of science all together, so I decided to take up tutoring (as I've always loved teaching as well). In fact, I spent much of my time at the University tutoring other students: friends, classmates, and frankly anyone who would ask me. I even found myself in...

I am passionate about empowering students by encouraging self-advocacy and creative thinking.

All I can say for myself is that I've always had a love of learning, and a love for sharing what I've learned with others. I fundamentally believe that anyone can come to understand any topic or idea so long as it is explained in a way that makes sense to them and is accessible for them. This perspective on learning is what guides me as a tutor.

...people and their interests, using student interests during lessons, strong problem-solving, general organization, different ways to teach most subjects, and student engagement. My teaching degree is from UNC Greensboro in reading and math for grades 6-9. I also hold a Master's Degree in School Administration that I earned in 2020. In the leadership roles that I have had at my schools, I trained countless teachers in math, reading, writing, speaking, science, and social studies topics...

...I am passionate about helping students discover scientific concepts for themselves and grow into independent, confident learners. As a graduate student, I worked as a teaching assistant for two college-level biology courses and specifically enjoy teaching cellular and molecular biology. I currently tutor high school and early college students looking to improve their understanding of scientific concepts. I love helping students set attainable goals for themselves and track their progress as they tackle skills and...

...at the college level. I've taught at Penn, University of the Sciences, and Methodist University in various social sciences, including anthropology, sociology, statistics, public health, and psychology. As a teacher, I'm guided by the idea that what I'm doing with students should be useful to them long-term. Making topics interesting, relevant, and accessible is of paramount importance because it allows students to hone skills that they'll use for the rest of their lives. Teaching is...

...piano, writing, reading, listening to music, etc. Teaching is one of my favorite things to do. It is not only a way for me to reinforce my understanding of material, but also a way for me to give back to my community through collaboration and sharing of knowledge. A big reason for my love of teaching is my passion for understanding people's minds and their ways of thinking. I hope we can grow together! :)

Helping students grow is a passion of mine; it is, in fact, my life's work. Since I graduated from the University of North Carolina in 2001 and NC Central University in 2005, I have worked to help students develop their potential in my roles as as an Exceptional Children's Teacher, Middle School ELA teacher, High School English and Social Studies teacher, and College Developmental Reading/Writing and English/History/Humanities instructor.
