...Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in 2015. I have extensive volunteer tutoring experience, having worked with kindergarten and second grade students as a reading tutor and middle school students as a math tutor.

I tutor reading, writing, math, economics,...

Get to know them to figure out what they like and...

...look forward to taking a few years off to work following my undergraduate years to then attend law school and pursue public interest law. My little brother (7 years my junior) was my first tutoring buddy and assures even today that I get to help build a science fair project board every year.

...UC Berkeley, studying Economics and Public Health. I love working with others, getting involved on campus, and spending time with family and friends. In high school and freshmen year of college, I was on the Speech Team. Getting to know the speech and debate community has been truly amazing, and I know my passions shine through with everything I do. I also enjoy listening to country music, playing badminton, and writing poems. My past tutoring...

...the past 15 years. I have helped students of all ages (from elementary school to adult) in a wide variety of subjects, including Math (Elementary Math to Calculus), Science (including Physics and Chemistry), test prep (ACT, SAT, GMAT, GRE), and English. My approach is individualized - each student gets a lesson based on his needs, strengths, and weaknesses. I try to find out exactly what a student has difficulty understanding, and I break it down...

I'm a college student at Johns Hopkins University, and I've been tutoring in various subjects since the fifth grade. I'm happy to tutor students of all ages, and I'm a cheerful and patient tutor. I'm also willing to work in whatever setting is most comfortable for the student, whether that be a library, a home, etc.

I have spent a lot of time tutoring people of all ages -- I have worked with preschoolers, kids in elementary school, and adults.

...the non-profit and business worlds. As a political candidate for the Virginia House of Delegates, an executive director at a regional non-profit, and an entrepreneur, I am able to bring to the student valuable life experiences along within an academic setting.

Everybody learns differently, and my job is to communicate information...

...in my day job, I do strategy work at a large Financial Services firm in the D.C. metro-area. I have a great deal of tutoring experience with people of all ages, both formally and informally.

...I have tutored students in math, economics, physics, violin, and music publishing for five years. My favorite subject is math because it involves critical thinking and universal concepts. My teaching philosophy is to target the student's source of frustration, to ensure correct terminology using the student's course materials, to provide strategies for memorizing information, and to focus the bulk of the tutoring session on the student's homework or projects. In addition, I am very understanding,...

...teaching styles to accommodate the learning style of the student. I like to emphasize an empowering approach to tutoring. It is not enough for the student simply to be presented with information about language, whether English or Latin. Most students benefit more from assistance in approaching the material and through the development of study skills such as learning the material in different ways or recognizing the root of the confusion. Therefore, I believe that a...

...and have him or her explain how they arrived at the answer or point out what they think are important concepts. I do not like to provide the answers to my students without them trying the problem first, because this does not help them grow more confident in the subject. Outside of my academic life, I enjoy swimming, which I did competitively through high school and college, and taking fiction writing courses. I take being...

...shoes. Last summer, I also served as a college admissions guidance counselor and essay revisionist. I attended USC on a full academic merit scholarship, and had the exclusive privilege to serve on the interview admissions panel for incoming high-performing scholarship candidates.

The experience has given me a unique insight into the college admissions process, and I am happy to extend...

...Through encouragement and positive feedback, learning and achievement become less of a chore and more something of which a student can be truly proud. I know from personal experience that in the areas in which I struggled as a child, I only became fully motivated to consistently improve (and even began enjoying my least favorite subjects) after having received the confidence that came from positive encouragement (and the occasional tough love) from teachers who were...

I am a college sophomore studying engineering. I've had student internships at Johns Hopkins' Applied Physics Lab and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, where I hope to work someday.

...one and a half years and continue to medical school. I have tutored students in high school and middle school math in the past. I have also worked with a test prep company tutoring both the SAT and ACT.

My favourite subjects to tutor...
