Last year I was a mentor for at-risk teens at our local middle school. I really enjoyed the experience. I enjoy connecting with...

...the Bill Nye show. I majored in Neuroscience and Behavior in college, so I learned a lot about Biology and Psychology, and I plan on getting a Master's in Bioengineering. I spent two years serving with the Peace Corps in Peru, where I learned to speak Spanish, build stoves out of adobe, and a lot about life in rural communities. In my spare time I enjoy playing harp and guitar, learning new languages, and being...

...My teaching style is one that I like to think is extremely adaptable. Every student is different and so are their learning styles and preferences. My goal is to make the subject I am tutoring not only easier but fun. Math is my favorite subject in school and I know that it is an extremely intimidating subject for many students. My method of breaking down problems into their bare elements and working from there helps...

...as a tutor has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Students often gave me positive feedback on my tutoring techniques, and I've seen many of them succeed in their classes after using the tutoring center and getting my help. I think the best qualities in a tutor are patience and empathy. As a tutor, I've always tried to put myself in the student's shoes and try to find different methods of...

...Science. I specialized in Ornithology, the study of birds; I'm a big bird nerd. I've had experience tutoring biology, math, and environmental science for the Athletic Department at UW and serving as a Teacher Assistant for UW's Biology Department, including a biodiversity seminar to Peru. Just like the D1 student athletes I work with, academics sometimes don't come naturally, but I look forward to fixing that false assumption. In addition to tutoring, I love playing...

...I study how people respond differently to medications because of their genes. As a result, I spend a lot of time thinking about Biology, Chemistry, Statistics, and Policy. I love to teach and work with the Pacific Science Center as a Communication Fellow. I attended Stanford University for both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Biology, with a minor in Chemistry. While there, I researched the immune system and how asthma and allergies develop. After...

...very good with all levels of students, from elementary school up to college and beyond. I am very patient and understanding by nature, and have a knack for getting to the root of any problem in order to help students understand it themselves. I am not interested in simply just giving you the correct answer. My ultimate goal is to help you develop a deeper, more solid foundation for the subject so you can go...

...and Elementary Education. 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...

...that will support them through life. What this means is building up the analytical skills that they will need to prepare and study for assignments and tests when they're going to go to college. There's only so much one can do in teaching the content that we also need to teach our students how they can become their own teachers and succeed on their own. Hence, I want my students not just to do well...

Ranging from helping students struggling in first grade, high school algebra, to UW 300 level probability courses. Math has been my favorite subject my whole life, and my goal is to become a high school math teacher. I know that some people are not the biggest fans of math, but I take it upon myself to help the...

...in several capacities throughout my years at school, and have continued to tutor and teach since then. I really enjoy helping students grow their own sense of self-confidence and watching them grasp the material. Sometimes all it takes is a little extra explanation that is hard to get in the classroom when the teacher is focusing on so many students at once. My style is pretty laid-back. I'm friendly and patient, and I will do...

...a reputation of being not fun. When students learn how to harness a difficult concept, questions are answered and new ones are discovered. I have studied motivation in educational contexts and have held various teaching/mentoring roles. Having graduated 1st in my class with a Masters degree, I know what it takes to succeed in academic settings. It is effort, not innate ability, that makes people excel. I try to put forth this effort and learn...

...level courses, including calculus, and two years of AP physics, and would love to help out with AP test preparation specifically, as well as the content of the courses themselves. I would also be glad to tutor college level physics, mathematics, and engineering courses.

The project that I am...

...the right mindset and tools, it's also one of the most rewarding and I'm here to help my students embrace both sides of that coin. As a former homeschool teacher to my son who has autism, I was excited to explore learning in a way that was meaningful to him. From reading lists that included all 8 Books from Harry Potter to graphic novels, I insured that forest he wanted to read it, which made...

I am currently working towards my bachelors in materials science and engineering from the University of Washington @ Seattle. During my time at university I've been a mentee several times, and now that I'm in my final year and have seen the benefits of mentorship, I am happy to begin mentoring others. This desire to support students extends towards tutoring where I am comfortable to tutor math and science of various levels.

...and Medieval Literature. I have designed and taught two of my own courses as instructor of record, both on Roman History. I find the most enjoyable bits of teaching is taking students through a work - historical, literary, whatever - and helping the student discover the references and connections the author of that work was making, what he or she was trying to say, and to whom - to try to uncover someone else's intellectual...

...throughout high school and college. I taught a Biology lab at the undergraduate level, and as a graduate student, I mentored many other students in science. I can make even the most difficult concepts easy to understand. I am extremely patient with students, and I know working with me will lead to higher grades. I am happy to help with any Biology or Chemistry courses. In addition, I can help with homework, lab reports, or...
