MS East Tennessee State University
5+ Years Tutoring

I am a chemistry tutor with a solid academic and teaching background, possessing more than seven years of experience in chemistry. Being a tutor is an exciting interaction surpassing anything else I have experienced. I want to continue tutoring because I can positively influence students to reach their full potential academically. Enabling students to understand the basic knowledge and skills they may use for the rest of their lives is mightily rewarding. I have had a tremendously positive experience of both high school and college education. I received a chemistry bachelor's degree at the Cross River University of Technology, Nigeria, and a master's degree in chemistry at East Tennessee State University, TN. As a high school classroom teacher, and a graduate assistant, I taught a Chemistry course and instructed Organic Chemistry laboratory sessions, respectively. These teaching assignments have kindled positive and gratifying responses. The work of Howard Gardner has influenced my learning style. He theorized that we have many kinds of intelligence and that everyone has the potential to be brilliant but tends to express it uniquely. Therefore, all students have a unique learning style that is suitable for them. As a tutor, I can meet my students' academic needs provided I know their right learning style. Outside teaching, I volunteer in my local church youth weekly program to set up the gym so that the youths could have some fun games before listening to Bible-based teaching. I believe the spiritual well-being of an individual is just as important as their academic success. Volunteering my time to something that makes young people spiritually and mentally fit is fulfilling. Having decided to teach, I look forward to working as a tutor. It will be an honor to make a real difference in the life of those I tutor.

BA Yale University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!

Dennis
MS Vanderbilt University • BA Grinnell College
1+ Years Tutoring

I'm an Iowa native who moved to Nashville for graduate school. My background is in the life sciences; I have a Masters from Vanderbilt in Chemical and Physical Biology, and my undergraduate degree is in Biochemistry. However, my education has been well rounded and I have interests in philosophy, literature, writing, and history. I have extensive research experience, and I hope to share my passion for science with students. I have experience mentoring undergraduate students during my graduate school education to help them gain research experience. I am a very patient teacher and have the ability to see problems from the students perspective; my tutoring style adapts to each student's individual needs, but centers on getting each student to come to their solutions rather than following any one formula for success. I have a lot of experience with standardized testing, and have taken multiple AP subject tests in addition to the ACT, SAT, and GRE examinations.

BA Vanderbilt University
8+ Years Tutoring

I'm a sophomore at Vanderbilt University studying computer science, currently focusing on iOS and game development. I like growing as a person, but I find it much more interesting and rewarding to grow other people. Seeing a student change, not in intellect but in perspective, is fascinating. I like to focus more on concepts rather than memorization so that students will have the tools to excel in any facet of academia, beyond some random test that holds too much significance.

Lisa
BA Vanderbilt University
9+ Years Tutoring

I am currently a sophomore pursuing a bachelor of arts degree in Medicine, Health, and Society. Being a student, Ive understood the frustration of not knowing what to do or who to turn to in the moment I dont understand something. This feeling can be very disheartening, but having the right person to guide you can make all the difference. For struggling students, I want to be that person to help them reach their full potential. In high school, I tutored people (mostly high school students like myself at the time) within the community, and it was personally rewarding every time I saw a student gain confidence in their studies.

I have also taught Introductory Chemistry to students who had never had chemistry before and also a General, Organic, and Biochemistry course for health professions.
