Academic success can be pervasive for a good deal of students today. The causes for these difficulties vary, but I believe they mostly arise from the fact that in classrooms, teachers teach in one set way for a large number of students. This is why I believe that tutoring is essential. In smaller settings, students can have their specific needs met without the worry of rapidly trying to cover a syllabus or slowing down a class.I believe my experiences and travels make me an ideal tutor for a number of reasons. Attending school in the US and Nigeria exposed me to lots of teachers with a numerous teaching styles, I thus have a wealth of styles to refer to. While in high school abroad as part of a school organized program, I was chosen to tutor my classmates as well as students in lower grades in the sciences. These subjects included calculus, physics, chemistry, agricultural science and technical drawing to name a few. In college, I continue to tutor my peers when I can, which has helped me establish a firm and continually growing knowledge of science and mathematics courses. The subjects which I personally enjoy teaching the most are physics, mathematics (geometry, algebra, and calculus) and economics mainly because they interest me and their link to our contemporary world. My teaching style employs learning by problem solving with discussions to solidify knowledge. I attempt to incorporate real life examples and pop culture interests where applicable to make learning a bit less dull.I completed my degree in Civil Engineering. When I am not in a classroom, I enjoy historical novels. I also have a passion for 80's-90's music and films.

I am a sophomore at UIUC studying agricultural and biological engineering. Eventually, I hope to work on environmental engineering related projects concerning the improvement of ecosystem management and reducing the harmful effects of pollutants in the environment. As an aspiring engineer, my favorite subjects to teach students are math and science. I've been working with kids as a swim instructor and music teacher for the past six years now. As I've begun developing experience tutoring students, my favorite part about helping students learn math and science concepts is teaching them how these different concepts interconnect and later helping them to develop critical thinking skills to work through difficult material.

I am a true believer in education and that anyone can learn and understand anything that they put their minds to and that with true understanding we can appreciate the world around us to its fullest. I work to bring understanding to my students through observing how they learn and tailoring the instruction to their individual way of learning. I enjoy the feeling of being able to bring true understanding to people.

Anyone who is honest will tell you life ain't always fair, but life is GOOD as long as you do the work. After being in the business world for over 20+ years I find myself ready to give back. As a life long learner I can promise we will not only learn the subject you need but also learn how you best learn. My Style is to teach you where you are, really get to know you and how you process information into knowledge. I will pass on what I have learned, the steps it takes to be successful, and the mindset to help you not only in the subject you need help in but with life in general.

Math is my forte. I've gotten A's in Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, College Algebra (MAC1105), Precalculus, AP Calculus AB, Calculus II (MAC2312), Calculus III (MAC2313). I would be most comfortable tutoring up to AP Calculus AB.My goal is to make students feel comfortable with the material. Hopefully after each tutoring session, your confidence can grow (maybe even to the point where you can tutor your peers, haha). I will do my best to explain/show my steps clearly and address any questions you may have. Additionally, if there is something you are interested in that can be applied in the tutoring session to aid in digesting the content, I will try to incorporate it as well.I'm also double majoring in Economics and Statistics.

I am really excited to be given the opportunity to tutor students. It was my first exposure to education (from the educators side) back when I was in college, working with students at a local high school. First with them, and also my friends, I noticed that I really enjoyed helping people understand something they were struggling with. Thats why I hope to tutor as many students as I can handle. The thing I enjoy most about teaching is the opportunity to help students learn. I enjoy knowledge, both the receiving and the giving thereof, and Im looking forward to being able to help your student (or you yourself) grow in the field you are currently grappling with. I have been fortunate to do well in my own academic pursuits: earning a Bachelor's in International Affairs & History from Georegetown University and a Master's in Education from Valparaiso University. I have taught for four years in a few different departments, but mostly in the social studies. I offer tutoring in the social studies, mathematics, and Spanish as well as test prep for the SAT & GRE, both of which I have taken. I hope that we can move you forward in your academic endeavors. Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading, video games and aikido.

Learning is one of the most rewarding, useful, and fun things that a person can do. My goal as a tutor is not only to help students complete assigned tasks and get good grades, but also to understand why the material is important and how it can help them in life. If I can help a student to be motivated to learn, aspire to fulfill meaningful goals, and give them the tools they need to reach those goals, then I will consider the time that I have spent with them as a success.I graduated from University at Buffalo with a B.A. in Math and Economics and an M.S. in Economics with an advanced certificate in Finance. I now work at M&T Bank as a Credit Analyst. I aspire to start my own business next year.I try to put effort into improving at everything that I do because I believe that anything worth doing is worth doing well. Some of my life achievements include, being an all county 1st singles player on my high school tennis team, improving my max bench press by 35lbs in 3 months, running a marathon, climbing a mountain, clearing a 40 feet long ski jump, ranking in the top 10 players in upstate NY in a video game, getting a job in my field immediately after college, being chosen to lead a project at work even though I am one of the newest people there, completing 3 college degrees in 5 years with a high GPA, working at least part time every year since I was in 10th grade, and ranking 1st every week in location accuracy and pulls per week as a backroom team member at Target. I am currently independently learning coding through codecademy.com and freecodecamp.com and am in the process of creating my own website.These things all resulted from the common theme of focused effort and a clear mindset for improvement. Improvement happens when you try to do something, fail, figure out what you're doing wrong, and try to fix it. Everyone can improve at everything if they stay focused, adapt their improvement methods, and try again. It's never too late. Some things take more time than others, but everything is achievable. If you have an idea of what you want to accomplish in the future, start now and you'll be much more likely to get to where you want to be.

I am a Social Studies Teacher in Henrico County, Virginia. I currently teach Word History I and US Government. Teaching history, for me, is about making the past relevant to the present so that people are able to see how their world has been shaped by the past and to better understand the world around us.

I am a graduate of the University of California-Irvine, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History. After graduating, I moved from Orange County, CA to Iowa City, IA and began my career in Sports Marketing for the University of Iowa. I completed my one-year internship and returned to Southern California to pursue a Master of Arts in Sports Management from the University of San Francisco. For another eight years, I continued my career in Athletics until I realized my true passion lies in Education.As such, I went back to school and received a Master of Education, with an emphasis in Curriculum and Instruction from Sam Houston State University.While I am most passionate about teaching US History, I have also taught Government, Economics and Sociology. Ninety-five percent of my students passed the first US History STAAR exam, which was well above the state average.In addition to teaching the content for the exam, I prepare students for Standardized Tests by introducing them to test taking strategies, which includes introducing higher level vocabulary that can be seen on the exam.I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life. I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students by making the material relevant to them. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, walking my dog and watching football, soccer and college basketball.
