I also tutor the sciences and can cover all science topics up to advanced college-level chemistry and biology. As a science major and experienced tutor, I understand that the...

...love teaching and making a difference in students lives. I love knowing that I made a difference to someone, even if it's just one person. My favorite moment is the lightbulb moment; when someone gets what you have been trying to explain! I have been a long term substitute and will begin teaching in the fall. I am a certified elementary teacher. I have worked with students of all ages, but love working with elementary...

...I don't get to speak mine enough, so please speak them with me! My physics background, as well as my years of teaching, means I know a disturbing amount of math (through advanced calculus). Yet, I've also been reading since I was old enough to hold a flashlight (my eyes don't thank me), so if you need help with following any sort of literature, I've got your back (excluding the original text of the Canterbury...

...in reading instruction. I teach English, Reading, and academic skills at the community college level, so I am able to integrate my experience and knowledge from my studies and years as an educator to assess individual needs, learning preferences, and continually develop strategic instructional strategies for my students. My greatest joy as an educator is seeing a student gain confidence in his/her abilities. It is my motivation to never stop improving myself as a tutor....

...the SAT, and writing. I believe each student is capable of wonderful things, both academically and otherwise, and that education is much broader than simply attending school. Some of the qualities I aim for as a tutor are patience, encouragement, and helping students examine difficulties with respect for their own abilities, which they usually underestimate. In addition to lots of reading and some contemplation, I love to listen to and write music.

...am a lover of learning, especially mathematics. I believe students learn best from people they like, so I always make it a point to build relationships with students and treating them with respect and dignity. I also believe that students learn through different means, so I differentiate instruction to meet the needs of the students. I look forward to meeting all of the wonderful students who want to learn math in exciting way and engaging...

...individually with shy kids, U.S. kids, and those from a different culture.

I have a Masters in Educational Technology from University of Pittsburgh in PA, undergraduate degree in psychology and sociology from Duquesne University, and advanced paralegal certificate...

...in formal and informal settings, including independent schools, an urban rim public school, and museums. Recently I completed another master's degreethis time in museum studiesto add to my other two in education. My experience as a competitive fencer and coach, along with my experience of different cultures, help me to connect with students outside the classroom and structure approached tailored to them. I love to work with students one-on-one and facilitate mastery of their own...
