I have been very successful in meeting all kinds of student needs including building confidence in a subject, providing accountability, preparing for tests, and tackling difficult assignments. I believe the best way to increase student success and retention is to challenge the student by asking questions and providing hints as the student attempts to solve the problem on his or her own, rather than just giving him or her the solution right...

...Subject Tests, and AP Tests, so I understand the difficulty in finding a way to master both the material and the tests. I am well aware of the challenges that standardized tests present and love working with students to come up with a tailored arsenal of strategies and approaches to make the test easier and less intimidating. I have years of experience with reading comprehension, essay writing, critical analysis (including the identification of tone, argument,...

...opposite and seemingly unrelated ends of the academic spectrum, I have found that they molded me into an equally rational and abstract thinker and creator. This complementary form of education has allowed me to connect with many different styles of learners, which has ultimately enabled me to mentor a diverse range of people in a way that is both genuine and adaptable.

This means that with enough dedicated effort, and support from effective educators, anybody can learn anything. My tutoring style is to ask leading questions and offer hints to help my students make their own connections between what they already know and the new...

...a recent transplant to Seattle, I am incredibly excited to being working with Varsity Tutors as a way to become involved with my community. I recently took the GREs and was admitted to UW's Master's of Social Work program, so the stress and anxiety of standardized test taking is fresh in my memory. For students preparing to take the SATs, ACTs, or GREs - I feel your pain! Together we can work through the daunting...

...have also tutored freshmen chemistry and surely enough, the fear of being wrong still persists in these students as well.I told them what I told my younger students about how being wrong helps us to learn and find the right. Once students started to incorporate this into their mentality, tutoring sessions would suddenly become just casual conversations because my students were basically teaching and motivating themselves. If given the opportunity, I will motivate my students...

...love to help students 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.

...to be able to pay that forward. I have a bachelors in Electrical Engineering and an MBA, and have worked as an Engineer or other technical role for more than a decade. Before that, I was a submarine officer in the U.S. Navy, trained to drive the submarine and operate its nuclear reactor.

...taught math for nine years, and I love what I do. The best part of my day is when my students are experiencing success and confidence in their math skills. I've taught Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Precalculus, and Calculus. Trigonometry has always been a solid part of my Algebra 2 and Precalculus classes. Many students have said they understand math after I've explained it. My goal is to help my students reach their...
