...Whitman College in Walla Walla. At Whitman, I majored in Environmental Studies and Politics, with Honors. During my time there I worked in the writing center, where I helped students with assignments ranging from freshman papers to senior theses. I have a passion for writing—I wrote a column for the school newspaper and won an award for my senior thesis—and enjoy helping students shepherd ideas from brainstorming to finished paper. The best writing involves a...

...stay busy in a bacterial genetics lab whenever I am not tutoring. Science is a full-time lifestyle for me, so I have had my share of exploring as well as tutoring Chemistry, Biology, Biochemistry and Physics up to the undergraduate level. I majored in Chemistry and General/Statistical Mathematics, and am capable of teaching up to abstraction subjects in the latter. I have also studied Literature, specifically post-modern American, British Renaissance, and Poetry throughout my IB...

...my Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry and my Masters of Arts in Teaching. Since graduation, I worked for a non profit and taught high school in Texas. I have always had a love of science. I truly enjoy learning and explaining chemistry. I love explaining the concepts and theories behind the science as well as working the math problems. When I tutor I like to make the experience enjoyable and seek to cater to the...

...2012, from the University of Washington with a 3.6 cumulative GPA. I thoroughly enjoy math and applying mathematical methods to the real world, in particular through the study of physics. One of my greatest strengths in this regard is my ability to approach a problem from multiple angles. If the first approach I suggest for a problem isn't clear to a student, I can usually come up with an alternate, sometimes more intuitive way of...

I find a supreme sense of wonder in learning how the world works, and I delight in sharing this with others. Natural sciences (Biology, Chemistry, and Physics) are my favorite subjects, but I also enjoy Math, History, and Writing. I...

...a senior attending University of Washington and pursuing a Bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering. I grew up in China and I speak both English and Mandarin. Intense projects and a heavy course load have helped to build a strong foundation in math, physics, and programming. When I came to this country, I was forced to overcome many language problems. I think the most important thing in tutoring is helping students find their own interest and...

...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.

...sciences with a focus in science and engineering from the University of Washington. After graduating from the University of Washington, I enrolled in Teach For America. I taught high school chemistry and physics for two years in Arkansas. Although I have several years of experience as a science teacher, I actually prefer to tutor math. I think math is the foundation for many sciences and a solid understanding of math can lead to a better...

...my undergraduate at the University of Washington studying chemistry. One day, I hope to attain my PhD in Chemsitry as well. As a student, I have come to the realization that students don't do well in classes that are strictly lecture based. Students learn in several different ways, and I will adjust myself to those learning styles, whether auditory, visual, kinesthetic, or some combination of the three. I will commit to teaching students that are...

...taught all grades K-8, and all subjects for many years. I especially enjoy tutoring grades 3-6 in reading, mathematics and science, and working with exceptional students who are gifted or special education. Science is my favorite because I love experimenting, building projects like soda bottle water rockets, and working for and with wildlife by cleaning up their habitats and raising trout from eggs for release as fry (juvenile fish). Math is exciting to tutor, especially...
