...out your best way to learn, and I will help you apply your learning style to reach your goals. Most of my tutoring experience has been with my kids. Probably the best compliment I have ever received was when my son said that he appreciated how my way of tutoring had made him feel like he had figured out how to do his homework assignment on his own. I have also spent much of my...

...strongest suit is writing. I read my friends' papers all the time - and really enjoy doing it! I can read anything from college essays, creative writing, or help you with the SAT writing/reading sections. I am also happy to help you brainstorm and talk through ideas on papers you haven't yet started. In my free time, I love reading, writing, cooking, hiking (or really, doing almost anything outside), and spending time with friends.

...until August 2012, I worked under the AimHigher and SchoolsLink programs mentoring and tutoring local elementary and high school pupils. I promoted and provided pupils with the resources to realize the goal of attaining higher education, desired exam results, and a better understanding of core subjects while sharing the opportunities that my university (UWE) had to offer on and beyond campus. This was done through in class teaching support/assistance mostly in Math classes; one-to-one or...

...Human Rights Studies. While a student at Barnard, I worked continually with children as a babysitter, often providing homework help. I became more involved in education when I worked as a co-teacher with Peace by Peace, where I taught non-violent conflict resolution skills to fourth grade students during my senior year. It was rewarding to watch the students grasp new concepts, test new teaching strategies, and see the results. After graduation, I joined the US...

...I tutored students for the LSAT, and I taught high school students in History, Political Science, and International Relations. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about the LSAT, ACT, US History, European History, and Writing. I very much enjoy teaching LSAT test preparation. It is a challenging obstacle for many students. However, once you understand what the test is trying to accomplish, it actually becomes enjoyable. Receiving a high...

...on math and physics. As a tutor, I emphasize patiently guiding my student to the correct answer, rather than giving it to them. I believe this method is the best way for the student to master the material. I enjoy the "aha!" moment my students have when the concept finally clicks. In my free time, I work on my two tea businesses. During my senior year at Rice, I founded a student-run boba tea business....

...Language Arts, Social Studies, History, Writing, and Math. In the inclusion and self-contained settings, I teach students who are in general and special education programs. My teaching and tutoring philosophy is that all students, regardless of ability or disability, can achieve to their highest potential when provided with academically and developmentally appropriate instruction and supports. It is therefore my teaching and tutoring style to appropriately create, differentiate, and modify content and/or lessons to make them...

I work well with children and believe that my ability to relate to them will help in a learning dynamic. My passion for education makes me suitable to help others learn as much as possible. I feel that my knowledge and expertise in the aforementioned subjects will benefit others...

...students. About half of my extended family (including my parents) are educators, and I am of the firm belief that education can change lives. That certainly doesn't mean it's easy. No one is good at everything, and sometimes all it takes is an outside push, or someone to explain the issue a different way. Tutoring can provide that missing element -- whether it's a sudden "I get it!" moment or a more gradual path to...

I am a recent graduate of American University in Washington, DC, where I took many courses in English Language Teaching. Most of my tutoring experience is in ESL and Algebra, both of which fascinate me, but I am also very passionate about SAT tutoring. I love seeing students improve their understanding of the material and come to enjoy studying and learning, especially when the subject initially felt daunting.

...I have been tutoring in some capacity since middle school. In college I volunteered every semester as a tutor in the local public schools and I also spent a semester student teaching in a third grade classroom. I really enjoy tutoring students in both english and math. While I always excelled in math, I know this is an area in which many students struggle. In middle and high school my peers would often come to...

Teaching is...
