I am more passionate about the latter, and within the humanities I am most passionate about philosophy and English. The most important thing I've learned from those two fields (and the thing I'd most want to pass on to students) is how to find the right words for thoughts - this is important, not ju...

Sam
ACT English Tutor • +53 Subjects
I am a recent Rutgers University graduate. I studied Psychology, and Pre-Medical Studies and graduated Suma Cum Laude. Additionally, I earned a 4.0 over my college career. I am currently applying to medical schools all over the country, and hope to enroll in medical school in the Fall.My favorite subjects to tutor are also my favorite subjects to learn. I love Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Psychology, and Math. Its great fun to be able to teach what you love, and I look forward to working with new students on these subjects. I try my best to make every subject relatable to my students through everyday examples. I break down major concepts into more manageable pieces to help students see the larger concept.Teaching is a passion of mine. I have been teaching swim lessons for 5 years, and academic tutoring for the past 3. I have taught people of all ages, from 3rd grade through post-college. There is nothing better than seeing that “ah-ha” moment spread across a student’s face.

Chisom
Algebra Tutor • +30 Subjects
Hi, my name is Chisom, I graduated from Georgia Institute of Technology with a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering along with a concentration in Robotics & Automation Systems. I finished with straight As in my math and science classes; I always appreciated the concepts I learned and always sought for how concepts were applicable in reality. I satisfied my hunger indirectly by helping my friends, classmates, and other students understand difficult concepts. So I became a very motivated math tutor always willing to help students improve grades and understand several Math concepts. Of course, I always attended all my lectures and sought to understand the professor's as well as teaching assistant's approach to solving problems and simplifying concepts.I provide step-by-step detailed solutions and explanations to students. I love seeing students comprehend concepts they thought to have been difficult. I have had passed experiences working with the Mathematics Department at the Academic Success Center at my first learning institution in Math classes ranging from College Algebra, Trigonometry, Pre-calculus, Calculus 1, 2 and 3 and Linear Algebra. I look for the simplest approach as well as providing pictorial/graphical explanations so that students can grasp concepts better by not only memorizing theories, formulas and identities. More so, I also encourage students to solve problems after learning a topic; that way the concept is learned better and fully comprehended. I have done all forms of tutoring in the past with the exception of online tutoring, I have held one-on-one tutoring sessions and, a classroom format of tutoring/recitation. I am willing to hold any session depending on requests, availability, session scheduling and number of students.I hope after each session, students would appreciate the subject matter and would be willing to solve problems using resources in the right manner. I would want for tutored students to be able to explain to fellow classmates and help them grasp concepts. Feel free to contact me if you are in need of help. Thanks!

Stephen
Algebra Tutor • +14 Subjects
I am a recent graduate from the Math Honors program at University of Tennessee, Knoxville and I will begin my PhD in Mathematics at University of California, Santa Barbara this fall. Like many students whom I've tutored, I have not always been a successful mathematics student. In fact, it wasn't until later on in my undergraduate degree that I decided to take on a mathematics major. Choosing to make mathematics a career has changed my life and been incredibly rewarding both in my professional and personal life. Besides the basic math skills needed in live, mathematics may seem irrelevant if you aren't planning to be a mathematician or engineer, but it is such an important subject because it teaches you how to think. It helps you better understand science and think critically about complex problems. I also believe that the rigor of thought which it provides can help you in your personal life by helping you discern truth from untruth, and understand when someone's logic (including your own) may not be logical at all.An important thing that I have realized is that mathematics is challenging and it requires work to achieve success. More importantly, even though mathematics can be difficult for myself, I have found that one of the keys in my success was to stop fearing mathematics and reassuring myself that I *can* do it. Part of the beauty of learning math (or any subject) is struggling and making mistakes and working your way through a problem by understanding. It is humbling to accept that it is okay to be wrong and trying to understand why you were wrong in the first place. Learning math has also built my own confidence and it has made me an independent learner. Having tutored a diverse group of students, I have learned that anyone can understand mathematical concepts to a reasonable level. I also encourage my students that it is okay (and highly recommended!) to seek help when it is needed. I too would not have achieved the same success if I had not sought assistance from my teachers and mentors. Mathematics does not always come quickly even to the most skilled students, but if you seek help, continue to practice, and are confident in your abilities, you will achieve success!My first real experience tutoring students occurred in when I took multivariable calculus and linear algebra courses during undergrad. I performed very well in these courses and I wanted to help my friends and peers achieve the same success. I began leading study sessions to review for exams and many of the students improved significantly, developing the critical reasoning skills necessary for success in mathematics. I am grateful for my desire to help my colleagues improve because this experience also helped me learn the material in more depth, and I otherwise would have never realized my potential for teaching.Since then, during my last three years at UT I was fortunate to work at the university math tutorial center, where I regularly engaged students to help them achieve success in their math courses. Providing students with a deeper understanding was incredibly rewarding and motivated me to develop new ways to build their intuition. Many students continually struggle with fundamental concepts in mathematics. I have found that one of the core causes of this issue is that rather than being challenged to think critically about mathematical problems, students instead develop methodical ways to solve the problems which rely heavily on memorization. As a tutor, I aim to help students build necessary skills to think critically about mathematical problems. My goal is to help motivate why mathematical solutions work and help students better understand how they should approach similar problems. I believe this approach to learning mathematics makes the process much less problematic---rather than feeling fearful when trying to attack problems, you begin to ask yourself "How should I think about this problem? What do I know, and how can I use this information to arrive at the conclusion?".I have experience tutoring a broad list of subjects, including:- algebra: Algebra I & II, college algebra, intermediate algebra- precalculus/trigonometry- elementary calculus: Calculus I & II, AP Calculus AB/BC- multivariable calculus: Calculus III- ordinary differential equations- elementary and abstract linear algebra- intro to proofs (set theory, induction, function theory, etc.)- abstract algebra- point-set topologyI have had the most experience tutoring elementary calculus, as this subject was highly requested at the math tutorial center at UT. I have also taken an honors sequence in real analysis, in which we study the theory behind calculus on a deeper level. Thus, I understand the fundamental concepts very well, and I can better determine the issues that students face when studying the subject. I also plan to be a teaching assistant for a calculus course at UCSB this fall, where I will be responsible for teaching recitation sections. Preparing for this job has helped me become a more skilled teacher of the subject.One of my favorite courses to tutor is linear algebra. A particular issue with this course is that many lecturers teach this with a focus on nothing more than methods of solving systems of equations but fail to help students understand the underlying theory and make connections between the different topics within the broad subject. I have many practice problems and examples on-hand to help students better understand how systems of linear equations relate to matrices acting on vector spaces. I also like to provide geometric intuition for the topic to help the subject "come to life".

Admissions Tutor • +21 Subjects
Hello! I am currently a fourth year medical student at the University of IL College of Medicine (graduating in May 2021), and I previously received my Bachelor of Arts in Biological Sciences with a concentration in Genetics and Genomics from Northwestern University. Two things I am passionate about are helping others and mentoring/teaching -- tutoring allows me to do both of these simultaneously! I have previously tutored students ages 5 to >22 in a variety of subjects ranging from different math and science classes, test prep (ACT, SAT, MCAT, USMLE Step 1 and 2), and college/grad school application preparation.My teaching philosophy is strongly based on individualization: I believe everyone learns differently, and it is my job to identify that and appropriately modify my teaching methods.
Jacqueline
Elementary School Tutor • +16 Subjects
I believe my role as an elementary teacher is to nurture and encourage the lifelong learning of my students. Through hands-on activities, classroom discussion, and even the use of humor, I hope to prompt students to think creatively and explore their natural curiosity by asking many questions and evaluating many answers. I am strongly committed to bringing students to mastery. To accomplish this, I thought it was important that I am trained and educated extensively in this field. This is why I have obtained not only a Bachelor's degree in education, but I have obtained a Master's degree as well. Even with the most thorough training, mastering academics cannot be achieved without creating a welcoming space for learning friends.
