As a Computer Science student in the process of pursuing a PhD, I know how important it is to understand the ins-and-outs of your classes. Not only will you be better off understanding the deeper meanings, but you might also find your passion with learning. If that is not the case, it's all good, I enjoy practical applications but I also enjoy the theory behind things. If you are having trouble understanding specific subjects or yo u just want some clarification I am happy to help.

I want to show my students the joy of learning, as cliche as that might sound. I guess this stems from my own love of learning, but tutoring lets me share this love in a one-on-one, individual scenario. Seeing as my desired career is to be a college professor, tutoring allows me to get an early edge on my teaching skills as well.
After graduating college in 2013 with an honors degree in English, I joined Teach for America in Memphis where I taught in public schools for two years. I am a state-certified teacher who has experience in public, charter, and private schools. I have elementary and middle certifications, as well as certifications to teach history and English at the high school level. I have also undergone numerous trainings in teaching both common core math and Language arts.Passionate about educating kids, I understand the individuality of every child and structure sessions based on skill level and personal interest. Students leave tutoring sessions with renewed confidence and heightened engagement in their subject matter. My greatest strength as a teacher is being able to recognize prior knowledge, and then individualize my instruction to grow the child without any gaps in understanding.
As a physics major with a passion for particle physics, I am deeply interested in exploring the theoretical and universal aspects of both physics and math. I have over 100 hours of tutoring experience, during which I've helped students navigate these challenging subjects. Whether working with foundational concepts or advanced problems, I aim to simplify complex ideas and make them accessible to every student. My tutoring philosophy is centered on identifying the root cause of any misunderstanding and addressing it at its core. By breaking down abstract concepts into digestible steps, I help students build a strong foundation and confidence in their abilities. I believe that anyone can excel in these subjects with patience and the right approach. Outside of academics, I enjoy climbing, crocheting, baking, and skatingactivities that keep me balanced and motivated. These interests help me bring a creative and problem-solving mindset to my tutoring sessions, encouraging students to stay curious and engaged as they work towards their academic goals.
I graduated from Rhodes College in Memphis, TN with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. During my undergraduate career, I worked with students as a Teaching Assistant in the introductory organic chemistry lab and mentored students in an organic chemistry research lab. After graduation, I moved to China to work as an educational consultant, advising students with college applications while focusing on improving their application essays. Additionally, I tutored students on IELTS and TOEFL preparation and general English, using subjects such as science and history to improve their speaking and writing skills.I love teaching writing, as this is one of the best ways to help students learn about themselves and their interests, but I also enjoy teaching life sciences and math. In my free time, I enjoy painting, yoga, and experimenting with new recipes.
I am currently in my fourth year of medical school at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. Learning science is my passion, but I also enjoy running, trying new food, and reading classic books. I would love to be part of your journey by helping you love mastering the task at hand. No doubt, you will see your best results once you have learned to enjoy the grind of becoming an expert of the material placed before you. Together, we can learn to enjoy the process as well as enjoy the results you will achieve. Whether you are working through upper-level science courses to complete a pre-med degree, taking the MCAT before applying to medical school, or studying for the USMLE Step 1 or 2 exams to get into the residency of your dreams, I can help you achieve your goal. With whatever content we are mastering together, we will work to be as organized and planned as possible. "Those who fail to plan, plan to fail!"
I was born and raised in Memphis, TN, where eventually I went to earn a BS at Rhodes College. After struggling between dual my loves of science and literature, I graduated in 2014 with a degree in Biology with a minor in English. I participated in several research projects studying animal behavior during and after college before I became interested in pursuing a career in environmental education.For half the year, I work full time as a park ranger providing education and visitor services seasonally at national parks and public lands. I teach curriculum-based education to visiting schools, and I answer general questions to the public, on topics ranging from ecology, geology, and history, to where to find the bathrooms.I have worked as a personal tutor since high school, teaching a variety of subjects to all ages of students.Since college between my seasonal positions of work, I have created full time work for myself for students on summer vacation, teaching math, writing, English, and science to students in elementary, middle, and high school.When I tutor, I'm hoping to empower students to think and analyze to find their own solutions. I don't want to show them the right way to do things, but rather the right way for THEM to do things. Our brains work differently, and we find the same right answers in different ways!Like your typical millennial, I enjoy traveling, but I've really made a full time life of it. Since college, I haven't lived in one place longer than 7 months. My seasonal homes have included Tennessee, North Carolina, California, Wyoming, South Africa, and the coast of Oregon. My primary recreational activity in all of these places is hiking, and I've been lucky to live in some beautiful natural spaces for outdoor recreation.When I'm not working or hiking, I'm reading, writing, sleeping, or trying to learn to learn how to be a decent cook.
My name is Jackson, and I have a passion for math and physics (I know, super nerdy). I graduated with a Bachelor's in Physics and a minor in mathematics, and I love helping students understand concepts in both these fields. I have one year of tutoring experience in college/AP-level physics and math (particularly calculus), and I tutor all levels of math and physics. I am a firm believer that there is no such thing as a "math" person. Math and Science are for everyone! That being said, I know these topics can be intimidating to many. I aim to help students understand the foundations of these subjects and prepare them to be better STEM learners.
I am a highly-motivated recent graduate from Rhodes College with internship experience at the Acupuncture and Wellness Center, Methodist Transplant Institute, and Tanzania Medical Experience. Currently, I am pursuing a career in the medical profession as a medical doctor, having obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry, to incorporate my family's practice in Acupuncture into the conventional healthcare system.I pride myself on being dependable - the person that everyone can lean on, trusting that I will deliver to the highest standard. I am goal-driven, passionate about living a healthy lifestyle, and I strive in a team environment.
I enjoy working with students of all ages and backgrounds on writing, reading, humanities, and test preparation. I'm a PhD student in Modern European History at Rutgers University, and I recently did an exchange year at the Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris. I have 8 years of experiencing in tutoring and previously worked for the Educational Testing Service in test development for the SAT, PSAT and pre-AP English exams.
As a passionate educator with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology & Sociology from Rhodes College, I have over 4 years of experience tutoring students in college and university admissions, as well as crafting compelling college application essays. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel empowered to express their unique voices and perspectives. I am dedicated to helping students navigate the complexities of the application process, ensuring they present their best selves.
I am passionate about helping students feel more confident and successful in their learning. During my undergraduate studies I tutored peers in French. After graduating from college I taught conversational English in Paris, which nurtured my interest in helping English Language Learners. I love explaining the shades of meaning in words, strengthening students' reading comprehension, and building their writing skills. I believe patience and kindness are key to student success. As a graduate student in a field called Learning Technologies, I am constantly discovering which educational approaches best help students.I am a great tutor because I believe in finding out why students have certain road blocks to learning and crafting an approach that helps them overcome those obstacles. I am patient and I understand the importance of explaining a concept without assuming prior knowledge or making the learner feel patronized.In my free time I enjoy yoga, running, playing with dogs, and checking out design blogs.
