Janani

Anatomy & Physiology Tutor • +15 Subjects

I graduated from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) with a BS in Biology. As an undergrad at Caltech, I was a TA for the introductory biology class and lab. I am able to tutor in a wide range of subjects and am passionate about helping students succeeding. I've never been that student who 'got things' right away, but I learned how to work hard and ask for help when I needed it. I hope to pass this on to my students.

I graduated from Northwestern University in 2013 with a double major in Economics and Legal Studies and a minor in Business Institutions. I am originally from Austin, TX and migrated north to play Division I Collegiate Women's Golf. As a student-athlete, I learned priceless time management and study techniques that allowed me to balance my course work with 20+ hours a week of athletic commitment. In my senior year, our team made Nationals for the first time in 20 years (eventually placing 15th), and I was awarded the Margaret Akerstrom award for highest female student-athlete graduating GPA (3.9). Currently, I am employed as a financial technology consultant and work with clients to build personalized solutions to address their unique needs.I developed a passion for teaching others how to be successful at a young age. I am the oldest child of three and have a brother (4 years younger) and a sister (8 years younger). Growing up, I excelled at math; however, my brother and sister struggled to understand the concepts. My parents tried to teach them, but ultimately, this resulted in more rebellion than progress. I volunteered to help and found that I really enjoyed the process. The most satisfying experience was tutoring my brother and sister and seeing them begin to develop confidence in school and finally make better grades.What makes me different from most tutors and educators is my strategic mindset. Most teachers recite their curriculums like clock work and take the key details for granted. For example, when solving for the length of the longest side of a right triangle "ABC" (Pythagorean theorem), they will show 2 examples in class without explaining why side "C" is "C". Then on standardized test, the sides are now labeled "EFG", and the child struggles to properly choose the correct inputs to the equation. Memorizing formulas is good, but understanding how and why is better. Answers are good, but repeatable problem solving skills are better. Doing practice tests is good, but focusing on the troublesome problems is better. Simply - knowledge is good, but intelligence is better.My favorite subject matter to tutor is SAT prep (especially math). The best part about the SAT is there are no surprises. Although the questions are "different", they never really "change". What this means is that even a child who regularly struggles at math, reading, or writing can memorize the framework and question types and conquer the SAT. There is a lot of satisfaction knowing that every second of tutoring SAT preparation will guarantee higher scores for the student.

Jason

Algebra Tutor • +32 Subjects

After studying Biochemistry at Long Beach State and graduating with a Bachelor's in Psychology from Central Michigan University, I have a thorough background in Natural Sciences & Mathematics. My expertise in Mathematics and Science also comes from over three years of experience tutoring students ages eight and above in simple to complex Math, Chemistry, Essay Writing, Study Skills, and more. I find great reward and drive in assisting students work through challenges. I am not one to teach as much as guide because I believe in individuals' capacities for growth in efficient learning. My goal is to provide as much information as possible to every student in how to best develop personalized methods for maintaining an open mind for effective learning and memory. My methods can be, at least in part, attributed to my passion for motor sports, which began in rural Michigan. Through racing, I embrace incredible focus which assists me in every area of life. I encourage every student to seek their passions in life, as well as healthy calming and focusing techniques in order to be the most motivated and successful each individual can be.

Everyone needs help. There are certain ideas that just make sense when we first hear them and skills weve easily acquired but all of us encounter mental and physical challenges. My job as a tutor is to translate a challenging concept or subject into a clear picture. The picture is made up of pieces, each of which youll know so well that if I take the picture apart you can put it back together again and explain to anyone why they belong together in that order. Starting in high school to the present Ive had the opportunity to help students in many subjects. Weve succeeded in mastering the material because we first focused on how we approached the subject; our approach will be based on your learning style. Once weve established a foundation based on my understanding of your learning style and your understanding of the subject matter, we can start asking the whys, and thats when the fun begins. I look forward to working with you.

During my undergraduate career, I spent time teaching physics to high school juniors and seniors. My goal is to see my students improve as a result of our tutoring. I am kind and outgoing and aim to connect with students and put them at ease.

I received my Bachelor of Arts in Integrative Biology from the University of California, Berkeley where I focused on ecology and evolutionary biology. As an undergraduate, I had the chance to serve in two teaching positions on campus. In the first course, I assisted graduate students and professors to guide a class through core level biology. The second was a hands-on affair, in which I led students through the preparation of animal specimens for preservation in a museum. Through my experiences, I have discovered that the best way to learn and teach a subject is to tackle it with a variety of approaches. For example, students intimidated by the technical jargon of math often find problems easier to understand when symbols are replaced with words. Through such strategies, I aim to make dense material more communicable and relatable and to provide students with the confidence to accept new challenges. I am most excited to discuss ecology, evolution, and math, but I am also able to tutor subjects such as physics, writing, and standardized testing. In my free time, I enjoy playing video games, practicing martial arts, and hiking.
