...then I can help you! I have helped family members study for the SAT and ACT as well as catered to numerous middle school and high school students' needs for guidance when it comes to 'study strategies.' I have completed extensive coursework in Trigonometry, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Matrix Algebra, Geometry, Physics, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, and Multi-Variable Calculus. Although I know that achieving high grades and test scores is important, my first priority will be centered around assimilation...

...lead to a deeper understanding so students are able to recognize and navigate similar topics in the future rather than merely the problem at hand. Along similar lines, I like to connect topics to the real world and other areas the student has more experience with or is enthusiastic about. In math especially the abstract nature of many concepts can disillusion students early on in the learning process, and bringing those ideas back to the...

...that I help walk students through that process, sharing advice and critique and making sure that everyone has the chance to represent themselves well when those dream schools are on the line (IWU was mine!). In my free time, I am a creative writer, a singer, an amateur artist, and an aspiring vegetarian chef. I love reading anything that broadens my perspective on the worldacademically or otherwiseand I geek out to all things Sherlock and...

...something is not working, there is another method out there that can work, and we should use it. If a student I'm working with is struggling with a particular literary work that they need to read for school, I will read that book. I consider the student and myself to be members of the same team, working toward the twin goals of knowledge and skill together. In my spare time I like to read literature,...

...applying to medical schools all over the country. My collegiate studies have enabled me to feel confident in my abilities to tutor life sciences, ranging from human anatomy, biology, environmental science and ecology to biochemistry and physiology. In preparing for and taking the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT), widely considered to be the most rigorous of graduate school exams, I further strengthened my abilities in verbal exams, critical reading, and writing at an advanced level....

...and English Language Learners (ESL), and I am proficient in all subjects of the SAT, ACT, and GRE. When I was in high school, I earned a National Merit Scholarship. I have been tutoring adults since I was an undergraduate, and I have also tutored older elementary school students, middle school students, and high school students. Most of my students are aiming for scores that will help them get into highly selective universities. Some of...

...at Seattle University. I moved to the west coast from Minnesota for school, and love it here! I tutor all ACT subjects as well as Computer Science. I enjoy working with students, not only because I enjoy teaching but because I feel the best way to really master a subject is by helping others understand it. I look forward to working with some great students! Outside of teaching and class, I enjoy watching and playing...

...essay writing, public speaking, creative writing, and anything else that would fall under the language arts umbrella. When working with students, I don't worry about where they "should" be, instead I focus on where they are, and where they want to go. Two things I find especially rewarding are helping a student discover their own unique writing style, and helping a student to overcome anxiety in public speaking. Outside of school, I enjoy playing video...

...including running a small research lab and teaching classes, would bring me the most satisfaction. During my time at Harvard, however, I saw that the realities of academic science conflicted with my earlier vision of life as an academic scientist. My time at a fast-paced research-focused institution highlighted those conflicts and has motivated me to pursue teaching the sciences to high school students. Students have described me as "efficient, effective, [and] fun," "an absolute pleasure,"...

...of Washington with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering in 2012 and will be returning to the UW to pursue a PharmD degree in 2013. I have been tutoring for six years, both informally and through organizations such as UW and Bellevue College. I like teaching and continue to tutor because I enjoy helping students improve. I believe anyone can learn math and science. I work with my students to help them understand not only how...

...extensive experience tutoring high school students in mathematics and helping high school students to write effectively, and have taught basic equine science to groups of middle and high school students. I tutor in a broad range of subjects, but I am most passionate about sharing the elegance of Algebra with any attentive student, and I enjoy helping students to relate to even the most abstract elements of History. I firmly believe that strong foundational knowledge...

...to help my friends in the engineering department with their calculus homework. I realized that I had a knack for explaining mathematics in simple terms. I also realized how fun it is to teach math and how rewarding it is to watch a student grow in their understanding. From there, I continued to tutor privately. While in grad school, I also got the opportunity to be a teaching assistant. My approach to teaching is to...

...college students who struggle in their classes. I worked with a very diverse group of students whose age ranges from 16 to 40 and they come from many different backgrounds. I remember when I was a college student, I went through the same things that they are going through which makes it easier for me to work with them. With my experience and knowledge, I can help them succeed in their classes. While I tutor...

...connect the dots, enabling them to master the material and themselves as they improve their study skills and self-confidence. I have worked with students of all ages in a variety of subjects and settings, from all backgrounds in this country and others. I have found, consistently, that the best way to connect is to be genuine and sincere with enthusiasm for the material and compassionate consideration for the learner. It is a pleasure to meet...

...microbiology to environmental science. My favorite might be ecology: literally, the root words in ecology translate to "the science of the house," meaning the study of systems and parts of systems interact with each other--how different organisms within a species affect each other, or how different species affect each other, or how the environment affects organisms or organisms affect their environment. Depending on the day, my favorite subjects might also be plant biology, animal behavior,...

...love that. I have found great joy in teaching, and for the time that I am with a student, nothing is more important than making sure you are comfortable and you understand the material. I have a lot of experience with mathematics, and frankly, I think I have been blessed so that it usually comes naturally to me. I have also been pretty good at English writing as well as speaking having participated in various...

...my undergrad at Washington University in St. Louis, MO. I've loved science since I was a little kid (I was that weird girl playing with dirt and rocks during recess). I did what I like to call the "Nerd Trifecta" in high school: math team, knowledge bowl, and science olympiad. I've tutored since I was in middle school, and I love finding an explanation or analogy to help someone else really grasp a concept! I'm...

...learned much about teaching mathematics thus far, and believe myself able to practice it effectively, I am under no illusions as to having perfected it. Indeed, I feel that perhaps the most important aspect of a good tutor is the willingness to continually grow: to seek out new ideas and innovations, to maintain and improve practices that work well, and to critically examine and alter those that do not I have developed quite some experience...

Math has always been my favorite topic in school. Over the last 5 years, I have enjoyed applying my quantitative reasoning skills towards an exciting career in electrical engineering. I look forward to helping others overcome their academic challenges and inspiring others to have a passion for mathematics.

...studies (with a focus in Europe and international security), and gained a concentration in gender and sexuality studies. Thanks to journalism, I’ve traveled and lived all over the United States, from New York to Los Angeles to Houston. My biggest passions are English and literature, and I love to instill that passion in others, whether that means helping someone work through writing a difficult essay or prep for the critical reading portions of the SATs....
