...just simple comprehension, but in what manner the comprehension is reached. I enjoy breaking down problems into logical sub-units. First, the underlying equations (or axioms, or vocabulary, or processes) must be understood, preferably on an instinctual level, as it is easier to remember ideas when they make sense at a core level. Then these ideas are applied to the problem, in order to unlock the solution. Generally, when students are having trouble with a problem...

...in whatever way I could. That is how I discovered VarsityTutors. Tutoring allows me to use my experience and skills to help other students grow and learn in subjects they like and in subjects they dislike. What is most important to me is whether or not the student truly understands the material they are learning in class. In my experience, when a student "gets it," they are given confidence to continue to learn in that...

...first got into tutoring as a member of my high school's National Honor Society. The top students were encouraged to impart their knowledge through mandatory tutoring sessions.

I am a big fan of the New York Yankees and New York Knicks. I am a...

I am a current undergrad at Georgia Tech majoring in Computer Science. I've been tutoring for a few years and love working one-on-one or in small groups. I believe every person has a unique learning style, and as a tutor, I should be flexible and adaptable in the way I teach. Seeing the progress students make is rewarding, and in turn, I hope I can make learning a more positive and enjoyable experience.

...is why I tutored so many different subjects, but if I had to pick a favorite I would say that tutoring math is my favorite. There’s something great about knowing that an answer is 100% , beyond a shadow of a doubt, correct. If you ask any of my students they will definitely tell you that I am a fun tutor. I think a tutoring session will go exponentially better if there’s some laughter involved....

Hey! I'm Lorenzo, I'm currently an upperclassman at Hunter College. I am pursuing a major in psychology and a minor in philosophy.

I am a patient, but rigourous, tutor, and I am happy to work...

...of the PCR machine whenever she used it. I wasn't really interested in what it did, but rather, in the noise it made- a low, grumbling hum. Then, there was the fume hood, a glass and metal contraption that I thought was from another world entirely. It had multicolored valves that I didn't dare touch; although I will admit that I did have the urge to stick my head under the glass opening to look...

...develop their thinking and reasoning skills. I primarily use the student's current knowledge and engage him/her to grasp the topic and apply the information as required by making sure that they understand the material thoroughly by using different approaches, providing strategies and explaining the material until they find an appropriate approach that works for them. I also suggest the appropriate materials for the students. Being able to help students understand a topic and having them...

...have often tutored peers facing difficulties in these areas. Although I struggled with Physics in high school, I approached it differently at NYU, was extremely intrigued by it, and decided to pursue a minor in it. This is the same kind of change I would like to bring about in my students through effective communication and personalized learning styles. There is no universal way to study, and understanding how a student learns new a concept...

My patience, listening skills, and communication skills developed from over 300 hours of experience have sharpened those characteristics. Through countless experience in the past, I have an excellent idea of what techniques work best for what types of learners. I also believe that through tutoring, not only should you walk away knowing the material but also knowing how to learn and...
