...nonfiction for pleasure, and getting to know my new city. In addition, I am enthusiastic about cooking and baking, and love to try new recipes, with varying levels of success. I have a personal passion for learning, and an interest in sharing that passion with others. It is my belief that everyone learns differently, and that by discovering the right methods, everyone can be an effective learner. By finding out how you learn best, you...

...in school, its just a matter of finding the style of learning that is most effective for them. What works or makes sense for one student will not necessarily work for the next student, and so it is essential as a tutor to be able to explain the same concept in a variety of different ways and to be able to determine when a student has fully grasped the concept. In my spare time, I...

...the near future, but I have always enjoyed teaching. I started tutoring during my junior year of high school, finding that I had an aptitude for analogies that helped students learn the material. I tutor a large variety of subjects, including LSAT, SAT, and ACT. I also tutor various academic subjects, primarily in the fields of math and science. My favorite subject to tutor is Chemistry, followed closely by Physics. I feel that anyone can...

...of science degree in cell and molecular biology with a minor in chemistry and graduated summa cum laude (with highest honors). Over the past year I held the role of Science Subject Specialist at the Seattle University Learning Assistance Programs. In this position, I served as the lead tutor of the science tutoring program and helped oversee the program. I fulfilled CRLA's International Tutor Training Program to become an Advanced Certified Tutor, Level II. I...

...respectful, and collegial learning environment in which all students feel included. During teaching or tutoring sessions, I look forward to the opportunity to advise and mentor students from all backgrounds, and to seek out ways to encourage those who are underrepresented in mathematics to pursue the subject. While I have learned much about teaching mathematics thus far, and believe myself able to practice it effectively, I am under no illusions as to having perfected it....

...Since graduation, I have had the opportunity to teach in a variety of grade levels and subject matters. Although I am comfortable with most subjects, I feel most passionate about English, Literature, and History. I believe in a student driven approach to teaching that adapts and adjusts to different learning styles and personal traits in order to best serve my student's needs. Learning is a lifelong process and should be encouraged and nurtured across all...

...myself helping other students understand the material. Students from a young age would describe how my teaching methodology made "so much more sense" than the way their actual teacher described. As I tutored fellow classmates, I discovered that I had a knack for not just teaching, but warming up to and befriending students. I did not think of tutoring as a relationship between student and tutor, but as a friendship where both the student and...

...have taught students in both middle and high school. As an instructor, I absolutely love teaching these topics and more because it provides me with the opportunity to propel the next generation to greater heights than mine. Personally, I believe that all students are capable of learning any topic, and that this can be accomplished by truly picturing exactly how all these concepts work in their head. And exactly how the concepts are pictured is...

...CO, where I mentored students on multiple two-week backpacking trips. It is my belief that learning math is a perfect context in which to learn creative problem solving. In addition to working with students on complete content coverage, I frame problems as a series of open ended questions that lead to the correct answer and develop a rational understanding of the material. When not teaching I am an avid musician, carpenter, backpacker, and skier.

...led my discussion and lab sections, much in the way that high school teachers interact with their pupils. This level of involvement between student and teacher appealed to me and I entered the academic training ground of graduate school having convinced myself that the life of a small college professor, including running a small research lab and teaching classes, would bring me the most satisfaction. During my time at Harvard, however, I saw that the...

...they already know and the new material they're tackling. I've found that people tend to be much smarter than they think they are. Often all it takes is somebody to point out the similarity between that difficult subject you're struggling with and a concept that you already know and are strong in to click on that lightbulb of comprehension. My life's passion is to do just this: to make STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math)...

...June of 2012 from National Tsing Hua University, which is one of the best universities in Taiwan. Currently I am applying to the Applied Physics program for graduate school. I have experience tutoring visually impaired students in both math and physics aging from 11 to 16. Throughout the years, I have developed a style of bringing experiments into tutoring. I believe that combining real world with the textbook helps students understanding the concepts of math...

...Texas, went to college in Nebraska, and have found a home in Seattle. I received my B.S. in Architectural Engineering with an emphasis in Electrical/Lighting at the University of Nebraska. While in school, I worked as a teaching assistant in Electrical Engineering while also informally mentoring and tutoring other students in my dorm. I found that motivating and helping others to understand material is one of my most rewarding experiences of my college career, and...

...like to call the "Nerd Trifecta" in high school: math team, knowledge bowl, and science olympiad. I've tutored since I was in middle school, and I love finding an explanation or analogy to help someone else really grasp a concept! I'm applying to grad school now, and in my spare time I love cooking and baking (it's vaguely scientific, right?). I rowed in high school and college, so I know all about the difficulties of...

...at the School of Nursing. I have spent much of my spare time teaching Middle and High School students the skills necessary to succeed in science and mathematics, particularly in grades 6th through 11. Most of my teaching methods and exercises are derived primarily from a student's current textbook, and by practice problems which I create from 'real world' situations. In addition, I have helped a number of students prepare for the SAT and ACT...

...Physics) are my favorite subjects, but I also enjoy Math, History, and Writing. I would be delighted to tutor students in any subject, and I am happy to help with standardized test prep, study habits and time management, college applications, and much more. Science may not come naturally to some students, but I believe that enthusiasm and persistence are more important than natural ability. I hope to share my passion for science with younger learners....

...and really tried to remember everything I learned from AP biology class. Despite my extensive preparation, unexpected questions still came up in our sessions and we both had to struggle together to learn the concepts. But what struck me the most and gave me the small spark of passion towards bettering education for others was that moment when my friend finally connected the dots between the concepts and gained a sense of confidence at the...

...and we will fill in any gaps in knowledge together. I wish to pursue graduate degrees in multicultural education to transform pedagogy and curricula, especially around topics of history, language, and identity. At the same time, I also love all things scientific and nerdy. Foreign films, travel, personal narratives, role-playing games, tropical beaches, hiking, and yoga are some of my interests. My pursuit of knowledge is to deepen my understanding of natural and social phenomena,...

...am excited by seeing students "get it." I have tutored elementary instrumental music, taught environmental science lessons, and mentored undergraduate research assistants. As a strong student throughout my formal education, I bring clarity and knowledge of academic subjects. I learned how to succeed in the system of papers, projects, quizzes, and standardized tests, and I look forward helping other students achieve academic success, toousing patience, kindness, creativity, and a sense of humor. I am currently...
