...management, project planning, and associated valuable techniques such as note taking methods and test anxiety management. As a trained scientist who is also a writer, I have a special interest in integrating English comprehension and expression skills into the mastery of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) studies.

...elementary school age to college in a variety of subjects. I love the sciences, particularly learning how the body works, but I have also excelled in math and standardized test prep. The world is full of puzzles, and school just has a few of the more difficult ones. Academic success is built from how we approach these puzzles, and how each unique mind breaks down a problem's pieces. For test prep, studying is as much...

I have been a high school physics teacher for seven years. My focus is on providing students with strategies that help them approach problem solving in a methodical and organized manner. I encourage students to observe their surroundings and use those observations to make connections to what we are learning in the classroom. Through a methodical, inquiry-based approach, students learn how to think critically and approach new scenarios with confidence. ... Usually I will outline a concept through a brief lecture, answer any questions a student has, and then provide a few practice problems for the student to work on. We usually start by solving the problems together with me providing less and less help until the student can do it on his/her own.

...my math tutor (from 8th-12th grades) took me from hating math to enjoying and succeeding in it. I want to help others make that same transition--a bad teacher or tough class can crush a student's innate curiosity, but a good tutor can restore it. I currently tutor students in the social and biological sciences (elementary school through college level), reading and writing, and in standardized test preparation. I am also an avid debater, and coach...

...skill they can effortlessly pick up, and creativity is not instantly fluid. Bearing that in mind, I use a Socratic method to draw out ideas and key words and phrases when helping students come up with responses to creative writing essay questions, i.e., the kind given on SATs, ACTs and on college essays. Usually, by the end of the session, they find out that they need a lot less help than they thought! I have...

...As a tutor, I share this outlook on learning with my students by creating an engaging and gratifying environment conducive to the learning style of the individual with whom I am working. I am driven by my passion for science, English, writing, literature and Spanish. I am excited to revisit these academic interests as a tutor during my "gap year" before I attend medical school next year. Although I spend a lot of time with...

...mainly tutored middle school students in math. During my undergraduate education, I volunteered as a tutor for elementary students. I also tutored ESL to a refugee from South Sudan; we prepared for the citizenship exam (which he passed) and worked on his reading and speaking skills. My experience as well as my current education in Occupational Therapy enable me to adapt my teaching style for each student. I try to make lessons as interactive and...

...a chemistry PhD student at Tufts University (focusing on physical chemistry, I plan to go into the nanotech industry).

I tutor a broad range of subjects; I am most passionate about chemistry, mathematics and history (predominantly world history). I don’t just...
