Award-Winning Summer Tutors in Cleveland, OH

...ensure the student is familiar with the material, as I believe this is the most effective way to create a student's understanding of the content. I also believe it is of the utmost importance that we establish an environment that is conducive to learning. This means that the student and tutor should be comfortable enough to communicate openly and ask any questions that may arise without worrying about any judgement. This means creating a warm...

...modes of learning, which, when sculpted to the needs of specific individuals, can completely change the way a person views the world. Engagement, ingenuity, and patience in teaching can revolutionize a student's grades, and, more importantly, their self-image, which is why I sought out a position at VarsityTutors to begin with. Successful and productive interactions with students not only helps them grow exponentially, but frequently teaches me new things as well, and it's precisely this...

...there needs to be an understanding of their individual pace, weaknesses, and strengths to match them with the best educator for their learning style. I enjoy the individualized attention I am able to give my students in a tutoring setting. We accomplish goals much quicker when lessons can be personalized. I also work at the collegiate level as a writing and reading tutor. I also have experience as an elementary teacher for many grade levels....

...descriptions, or analogies to a concept, my sessions usually feel more like conversations than lessons. Since English was also one of my favorite subjects, I enjoy working with students on things like essays and literary analysis. As someone who tests well myself, I like helping students to improve their test-taking skills (particularly in preparation for standardized tests). Something else that has definitely influenced my teaching style is that I have struggled with ADHD throughout my...

...History. I also obtained a master's degree in Educational Studies with a minor in History from the University of Michigan and a master's degree in English from Cleveland State University.

...no matter what topic students are learning, they need to find it interesting in some way – this is my specialty! For example, I like to watch and play sports and listen to music. If I had a student with the same interests, I would use reading materials such as sports articles and song lyrics to appeal to that student. In math, I would use player statistics and sheet music to make concepts clear. In...

...is vital to the student's success. Furthermore, and lastly, teaching is an art whether face-to-face or online. Anyone can pick up a text and instruct a student to read these chapters or those pages. A major challenge for a teacher or tutor is to transmit knowledge to the student in an efficient and stimulating manner with comprehension combined with remembrance of the material being the fundamental outcome. To this end, my goal is to equip...

I also enjoy traveling, with my most recent adventure being a semester...

...tutoring because tutoring and mentoring go hand in hand. The goal is to make the subject material fun and, if possible, make it a game. This will build self- esteem and boost self-confidence. One must find and teach to the student???s learning style and find different way to differentiate the subject (s) being taught. Always wrap up on a positive note and make sure you challenged the student for the next level. I was diagnosed...

...to produce a personal approach to how I could aid them. Currently, I work as an Image Analyst for the Ophthalmology department of Case Western Reserve University. The subjects I most prefer to tutor are the sciences and mathematics. I always viewed these subjects as logic games that happened to have a real life application. I believe in transparency between myself and my students. After all, "I don't know" is a valid and honest answer....

...favorite subject to tutor is academic reading. I enjoy helping students put the details of a story together to figure out key points. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and getting out and trying new experiences. One of my favorite experiences was going to see a live performance of the Lion King last summer. I also went on my first retreat last summer. I enjoy reading biographies and historical fiction and nonfiction. I collect...

...during the summer of 2018. These experiences have allowed me to develop an even greater appreciation for the sciences than what Ive learned through textbook learning alone. Through tutoring, I hope to instill the same level of excitement and subject appreciation in my students, not just in the sciences; but in a variety of subjects, such as English, Writing, and Math. More generally, I want my students to learn to value education and use it...

...material thus far; this was beneficial because I could usually monitor when a child would get confused thus understanding when I had to focus on certain material. I, too, was a child who was too nervous to stop my teachers/tutors anytime I would get confused which is why I think it is necessary to reach out and ask the child how they are doing. I tend to gravitate more towards tutoring in math because of...

...ticks, etc. Accounting and finance is often that language that allows anyone to understand how a business is performing. I really enjoy helping students identify the challenges they have in their business classes and then conquer those challenges. I look forward to working with college and high school students on business classes and helping them succeed! My background: I'm currently an investment banker focused on mergers and acquisitions, spent the last several years as an...

...comes easiest to me and I believe that it's a lot of fun. Math is also a favorite subject of mine because my techniques for math are different than many other tutors. As a student who previously struggled in math, I had to find my own ways to understand the material. Previous clients have told me that I have an interesting way of teaching that they understand better than their classroom teachers. My teaching philosophy...
