Erik

6th Grade Writing Tutor • +24 Subjects

I received my Bachelor's degree from the University of Minnesota in 2011 and my Master's in 2013, both in Aerospace Engineering & Mechanics. As a Graduate Teaching Assistant at University of Minnesota, I taught groups of students in the laboratory sessions for courses in the Aerospace Engineering Department, including Experimental Methods, Instrumentation, and Aeroelasticty. The most important aspect of my teaching style is demonstrating patience and commitment to the student. I want the student to feel comfortable communicating with me what they are struggling with so I can understand what his or her strengths and weaknesses are. This allows me to tailor my lessons to the students needs and teach more effectively, by "speaking their language". I make it my goal to learn from the student about their learning style so I can teach them how to succeed. I tutor science, engineering, and mathematics, including calculus, algebra, and geometry. My favorite subjects to teach are math and physics. In my free time I like playing drums and listening to music (rock, jazz, electronic mostly) and when I can, traveling and learning about foreign cultures.

Spencer

10th Grade Tutor • +89 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of Stony Brook University (SUNY) from where I received my Bachelor of Sciences in Applied Mathematics & Statistics with a concentration in Physical Sciences. Throughout my undergraduate career, I was fortunate enough to participate in several research-oriented internships in New York and Maryland. These allowed me to gain invaluable experience and apply my knowledge to real-life applications. In addition, I have experience tutoring fellow classmates in courses such as physics, probability/statistics, and linear algebra; however, my favorite subject to teach is calculus and I've found it to be the most challenging to learn. My philosophy of teaching heavily focuses on practice problems and examples while maintaining a personable, stress-free environment. Outside of the classroom you can find me playing or watching sports, meeting with friends, and listening to music.

In addition to my passion for sailing, I am an avid skier and outdoorswoman, and a passionate fan of Boston sports. As a tutor, I offer a broad range of scientific subjects, including Physics, Chemistry and Biology, and I am particularly passionate about Biochemistry and Microbiology. I also offer and enjoy test prep, including the SAT and independent school entrance exams such as the ISEE and SSAT. As an educator, I am passionate about helping every student, because I believe that everyone has the potential to succeed in Science and excel on standardized tests. I love the subjects I tutor and I strive to help my students appreciate the value of knowledge so they understand not only the material, but why it is relevant and important in their lives.

AP Biology Tutor • +8 Subjects

I am a proud graduate of Rutgers College where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Biological Sciences. My ultimate goal is to become an Orthodontist and I have been working to achieve this. I began tutoring students shortly after graduating and found much joy in being able to help them conquer a subject. My favorite subject to teach is Organic Chemistry. Despite the rumors, it is not too difficult and with the right teacher it can be fun. I approach each tutoring session as if the student and I are study buddies. I prefer to create an easy-going, friendly environment because I understand that teachers may intimidate students.

Lilly Villarreal

Professional Certifications Tutor • +1 Subjects

I'm a graduate of the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley where I completed my B.S. in Biology (your typical pre-med!). Currently, I'm a 3rd year medical student at the University of Texas Medical Branch. I have tutored various high school and college level subjects in the past, both formally as a private tutor and informally as a peer and friend, and will be tutoring 1st and 2nd year medical students this upcoming academic year. I am very adaptable and am able to meet students where they are at in terms of their current knowledge, their learning goals, and how they best understand and integrate new information. Now on the other side of this grueling exam and having personally seen how STEP can deeply affect students' motivation and spirit, I have a strong desire to help students conquer this exam and emerge victorious, with their self-worth and mental stability intact!
