I have taught piano lessons, tutored, and taught middle school for a total of 7 years. I have a bachelor's degree in history education and a minor in math education from Brigham Young University, where I attended on a National Merit scholarship. While in college, I worked as a writing tutor in a writing center on campus for three years, helping students with history and social science essays as well as letters of intent for internships. I also spent a semester in London studying history and English. I taught 7th grade math (pre-algebra) for a year and was the peer tutoring mentor teacher during that time. For the last year and a half I have worked with the teenage girls at church. I teach biweekly Sunday School lessons and help plan weekly activities. Currently I stay at home with our two little boys while my husband works on a PhD at Stanford and I love it, but I miss teaching and working with students.I tutor a wide range of subjects including history, writing, and math. I am passionate about each of them for different reasons. History helps us identify bias, see cause and effect, think critically, and learn empathy. Writing helps us synthesize our thoughts into coherent arguments and can even help us understand things more clearly. Math teaches critical thinking, but also persistence and creativity. What is most important to me, however, is that students feel confident enough to keep trying until they succeed. Teaching 7th grade math opened my eyes to the lack of confidence students often suffer from, and I want all students to feel empowered to learn and succeed rather than just get by.In my spare time I enjoy board games, reading everything from parenting books to classic literature, yoga, lunch with friends, and that energetic feeling after completing a good run.

I am from a small town in Iowa and currently a fourth year student at the University of Chicago studying economics. During my time here I have studied abroad twice. Two years ago in Beijing, China and last spring in Athens, Greece. I can speak English and Spanish fluently and can speak a little Mandarin Chinese. After graduation in June, I will be working in finance and specifically financial markets. On the weekends, I enjoy spending time with my friends and cheering on the Iowa Hawkeyes during the fall football season.

You may call me a degree collector or an enthusiast of learning. With two Masters' degrees, two undergraduate degrees, and two minors, I studied everything from Russian, Spanish, and Philosophy to Physics and Space Science.My drive to uncover the unknown and zeal for problem-solving proved to be useful in the airspace, oil and gas, and real estate industries where I've worked for more than 13 years.Nothing in my career, however, has been as gratifying as helping students connect the dots. In my extensive work as a math and physics tutor for high school and university students, I have always followed three simple steps:1. identify what the student does not know2. figure out what they know3. help them close the knowledge/understanding gap.In explanations of concepts, I strive to bring the abstract to reality for my students. When we are solving problems, I rarely give my students straight answers. I guide them so they can arrive at the answers by themselves or I point them to where they may find clues.I love seeing "the wheels starting to turn." This is how my students gain confidence in their abilities.My ultimate goal is to model for my students studying skills so that they can eventually handle their learning by themselves. Yes! My goal is for the students NOT to need me. Because independent learning is king and problem-solving skills are gold in real life!My students always master much more than the subject they needed help with.

I am currently enrolled at NYU Tandon School of Engineering and am majoring in Integrated Digital Media with a minor in computer science. While I am a full-time student, I see no better option than tutoring in my spare time. I first started tutoring in my first year of high school and continued through my four years which definitely helped me mature in that time. There is something so unexplainably gratifying in seeing one's frustration in not understanding a concept turn into excitement once he/she has grasped it. In order for a child to succeed, it is key that they are helped through this frustration stage so that they can regain the confidence to tackle any problem put before them. I found it very important to not only help the children I tutored to rebuild their confidence, but to also let them know that success is dependent on how much effort they put into their studies. I often asked students how they felt after the introduction of every concept in order to gage their understanding of the material thus far; this was beneficial because I could usually monitor when a child would get confused thus understanding when I had to focus on certain material. I, too, was a child who was too nervous to stop my teachers/tutors anytime I would get confused which is why I think it is necessary to reach out and ask the child how they are doing.I tend to gravitate more towards tutoring in math because of the ease I had with it when I was in middle and high school but am still more than willing to tutor humanities based subjects. Outside of academia, I like to draw, paint, creatively write, and volunteer at animal shelters.

Hello! With over 4 years of tutoring experience, I'm on a mission to ignite a love for learning in younger generations. As an undergraduate at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, I'm pursuing a Computer Science Degree and channeling my enthusiasm for academics into my tutoring endeavors.My teaching journey has encompassed a wide range, from assisting independent clients to contributing my skills at a renowned tutoring center. I take immense pride in nurturing students to excel in their subjects and conquer tests effortlessly. My fundamental belief is in establishing a genuine connection with each student, allowing learning to unfold naturally.Throughout my journey, I've celebrated the success of 4 students who achieved remarkable scores of 1500+ on their SATs. My approach blends the right techniques and personalized guidance, making academics an enjoyable journey for my students. Together, let's find joy in education and unleash our best potential."

Graduate of Temple University with a Bachelor of Sciences in Mathematics and a minor in Spanish Language.Throughout high school and university, my educational passions were sparked by a handful of dedicated tutors, professors, and teachers. It is my philosophy to pass on the passion for learning that was instilled in me by my mentors.

I am a recent Harvard graduate who studied Computational Neuroscience looking to help students improve their performance, build confidence, and develop skills that will help them be successful in their test-taking and academic endeavors.

I am currently a M. Eng. mechanical engineering graduate student at the University of California Berkeley. I completed my undergraduate degree the University of Illinois at Chicago, majoring in bioengineering. I have been tutoring other students since high school and also have experience teaching engineering in a classroom setting. I especially enjoy teaching subjects that have a stigma for being difficult or unattainable and strive to change that perception. My strengths are math, science and standardized test preparation.

I love helping students feel good about mastering a new concept so that they can feel confident learning new things. I've tutored students of all ages both in person and online since 1998. I started tutoring Calculus at UW Madison while working on my Electrical Engineering Degree and continued tutoring Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus ever since. I've also done summer enrichment programs giving kids the opportunity to build their own circuits.My favorite subject is pre-calculus because it brings things together from geometry, algebra and trigonometry.My tutoring style very much depends on the student. I like to first understand the student's approach and then I like to find a way to meet them in the middle without starting over.Outside of academia I spend time with my wife and two kids. I am also the co-founder of a healthcare information technology consulting group and we love solving data problems for health systems.

I have always enjoyed helping my fellow students learn math and science. I feel like I can relate to many students because I have a variety of interests such as tennis, robotics, and reading. I try to make my sessions as fun as possible so that my students will remain interested in the subject matter for a longer period of time. I teach to the level of the student and explain using terms they will understand. Teaching others can sometimes seem difficult, but I believe it is ultimately rewarding. I am working towards completing a computer engineering major.
