I strongly believe there is no time in our lives where we quit being students. Learning comes from all modes of life, through experiences of grit and triumph, as well as managing failures. And I'm not just referring to tests. As a current college student, I've come a long way from a hopeless high sc...

I have a degree in mathematics education from Indiana University as well as a degree in accounting from Ivy Tech (Bloomington, Indiana).And I can't wait to get back into the math! Some of my most enjoyable experiences in my profession involve helping young people gain a better understanding of mathematics in a one on one tutoring capacity. I look forward to tutoring math, so let's do it!

Algebra Tutor • +19 Subjects

I am a graduate from UC Irvine, and grew up in Southern California. I began tutoring students in high school for science and math and picked up private tutoring for calculus and physics in college. I graduated UC Irvine as a biology major and a psychology minor. I enjoy private tutoring because it gives me an opportunity to alter my teaching habits and see which style best fits the student's learning ability. I enjoy teaching math and sciences because I see them as a puzzle and a challenge for the students at first but can become a favorable subject once the material is understood.

Ayesha

Algebra Tutor • +50 Subjects

I am currently a student at Pasadena City College, planning to transfer in 1-2 years. I am pursuing a science degree (I'm considering both Life Sciences and Physical Sciences).I first began tutoring in spring 2014 and immediately fell in love with it; as a college student I myself study with friends/study partners quite frequently. Working with clients feels almost similar to these relaxed and enjoyable - yet highly productive and efficient - study sessions. I find joy in demonstrating to students that these tutoring sessions don't have to feel like tribulation; although I am their tutor, I am also a student just like them so I know how to study (and thus help them study) without burning out.I've tutored students ranging from 3rd grade to high school seniors. For my younger students, I've mainly tutored math fundamentals, Earth Science, writing, and ISEE prep. In addition to tutoring, I've been teaching at an after-school program for exactly one year; this experience gave me the opportunity to teach a class of up to 10 elementary-school kids, developing my ability to attend to various students' needs simultaneously. As a teacher with a more active role, I arranged a curriculum with supplemental topics to complement material being taught to them in school, and as a 3rd-4th grade instructor, I organized many games and "art projects" to familiarize students with the learning material. This job has helped me practice putting together lesson plans based on common core requirements, rather than just using the student's own material. As a tutor, it's not always necessary to supplement the student's schoolwork with additional material, but if appropriate I feel very comfortable creating targeted lesson plans.As for high school students I've mainly tutored Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Trigonometry, SAT math prep, Chemistry, and Statistics. I have much experience tutoring high schoolers; in fact the majority of my previous students have been at the high school level. Not being too much older than students of this age range, I find I can relate quite well and I can serve as a role model, exemplifying how well-educated/smart/happy they too can be in 5 years (at my age).I generally prefer tutoring SAT math, Geometry, and Algebra 2; using mathematical reasoning to approach a challenge appeals to me because it's a skill that requires experience. I enjoy helping students reach the answer, emphasizing not the final solution, but instead the process used to find the solution. Being forced to think and solve critically is what expands students' minds and gives them experience mathematically, helping them figure out how to approach problems of all subjects in the future. These math courses incorporate a lot of critical thinking into each problem and that's where the fun is!I believe that all students are entitled to the best education possible, which can be accomplished in a variety of ways. It could mean a weekly tutor to supplement learning, or extra time with a teacher. Regardless of how it is accomplished, a student's access to efficient, individualized education catered specifically to his/her needs can define his/her successes in life. It is my belief that students deserve individualized attention from a single educator who is monitoring that specific student's strengths and weaknesses. A student deserves the best possible shot at life!In my free time I've recently started playing the piano, which also consequently got me into classical music. I sometimes take apart classical pieces on my computer and merge them with others, integrating various composers and styles; music has recently become a great hobby of mine.

Matthew

AP Comparative Government and Politics Tutor • +52 Subjects

I received a B.S. in Business Economics and an M.A. in Classics from the University of Arizona. I am currently working on completing my Ph.D. in Classics at the University of California, Irvine. I have tutored a variety of students, ranging from the elementary to the college level, for the past four years. I primarily tutor subjects relating to the Humanities, such as Ancient Languages, History, and English Composition. My favorite subject to tutor is Latin, since I regard Latin as the most beautiful and intricate of the human languages. When tutoring I first ask for a copy of the course syllabus/schedule, assess the needs, goals, and expectations of the student in the course, and then set up a tutoring system that serves each student's specific situation.

I aspire to inspire others to learn and to reach personal goals. I get a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction when I am able to help others and see them progress. I learn from my mistakes and experiences and I believe that guiding others into the right path is one of the best things that you can do.I have previously tutored family members and peers in math and biology. I like helping others learn and guiding them to get the motivation to become independent learners.I studied and received my Bachelors of Science in biology at the University of California Irvine. Biology is one of the greatest passions in my life, everything new that I learn amazes me, and engages me more and more each time.I believe in the healing and preventative powers of food in health thus, I aim to one day become a nutritionist/dietician and help in the fight to diminish cardiovascular diseases among other problems.

College English Tutor • +8 Subjects

I will never forget my fifth grade teacher. My fifth grade teacher was cool, easy to talk to, and inspired all of his students to aim for the stars. He drove me to challenge myself each and every day; andto learn from every situation that is presented before us. He showed me that education can be extremely fun and exciting!I was one of many misguided students who saw him as the coolest teacher in the world. One could not wish for a greater role model. If I could connect with one student in my years of tutoring as my fifth grade teacher once did, it would all be worthwhile! The young and eager minds of students have once been compared to me like the seeds of a tree. We must nourish and foster their dreams to allow them to grow and flourish!
