...in the laboratory setting and in the process of publishing my work on developmental aspect of flies. Since high school, I really enjoyed learning about biology and chemistry. I realized that many students struggled with concepts in these subjects. I know its very difficult to understand many of the processes either in the human body or in chemical reactions. My past tutoring experience gives me the confidence to effectively teach concepts with ease. As a...

...our way back to the "difficult" problem. So many concepts and topics in various math courses can be learned in this way; from my experience, this process works for many students. I am currently a senior pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering at the City College of New York. Here, I have strengthened my skills in Mathematics, as I have taken courses ranging from Calculus 1 to Numerical Methods. Although these courses are highly...

...lectures on Game Theory; its potential to predict social interactions, mainly in economic and political sciences, and its base in mathematics, suggest the centrality of scientific logic in all aspects of human behaviour. I enjoy the quirky 'Minute Physics' series, and emulated this format when presenting the uses of parametric equations to year 10 students. Sacred Japanese Temple Mathematics', which explains the growth of Japanese mathematics during its reclusive sakoku period, revealed the cultural differences...

I plan on going to medical school in 2 years and am currently studying for the MCAT. My favorite subject to tutor is economics because it has...

...of a sentence. In history I try to help students understand the "historical method" as easily as possible through exposure to historical sources and understanding of their uses--I also frequently approach history from a so-called "bottom-up" or microhistorical approach, which I've found in teaching Roman Republican history can be very useful for students in understanding how a society functioned, which is crucial for their understanding of causality of events. These methods of approaching teaching in...

I'm a junior at Syracuse University studying international relations and Anthropology. After a semester abroad in Spain I worked as a volunteer English teachers assistant in 2 elementary schools in Barcelona and that experience made me want to be a teacher which is what brought me here. I really enjoy teaching languages such as Spanish, French, and English because in my opinion language is one thing that one can use in many aspects of life....

I love working with children. I love how they absorb what you are trying to teach them and then when that light goes off and they are able to do it themselves is priceless.

I am currently employed in the Syosset Central School District as a Math Tutor at H.B. Thompson Middle School, tutoring Math in grades 7th-9th. I also teach students who are homebound through Syosset Home Tutoring, receiving work directly from Math teachers. I have home-taught just about everything from 5th grade math to Pre-Calculus. I truly enjoy seeing the light go on in a student's head and knowing I am the one who made that happen....

Throughout my career, whether in the cockpit of a US Naval jet or working on strategies for an asset allocation modes, I actively use math everyday. My love of math is profound and my three Honor Roll children are shining examples. I have formally and informally tutored hundreds of pupils for 35+ years and believe that students need to understand concepts rather than memorize them.

I believe that if you have the ability to help someone then it is your duty to help them. In my case, I help students with a wide range of learning styles achieve their best. It is important to partner with parents and students to understand each student's learning style, and help improve their test scores. I value the fact that each student is unique and each has their own learning style. I am dedicated...

I very much enjoy working with students of various ages and helping them improve in all academic subjects. I am passionate in working with them to effectively build their confidence in their ability to achieve academically.

...I am able to engage them in the subject and provide them with the capacity to learn the material. Writing and reading are also challenges for students I am currently working with or have taught in the past. I believe firmly in what I call "text coding." I encourage my students to read through a passage and underline words they are unfamiliar with and then rephrase many sections of the writing in their own words....

...work in part-time managerial roles and privately tutor students in various subject areas.

...this exam has been English (reading and writing) and Social Studies. My teaching philosophy (especially when it comes to standardized tests) stems from my background in athletics. My whole life, I've competed, and what I've learned is this: the harder you practice, the easier the game will be. Regardless of the topic I teach, I aim to bring a variety of different examples and practice questions in order to see the topic from every angle...
