I also worked in an after school tutoring program for high school students. It was a...

...opportunity to work at Springfield High School where I tutored students both in the classroom and in after school programs. This experience was incredibly rewarding, as the evidence of my daily work could be directly observed, and the difference I was making seemed to have a real impact. This opportunity prompted me to continue tutoring. My experience working in a high school showed me how different each student’s ability in any given area can be....

I am a recent graduate of Pacific University with a major in Biology and a minor in French. I've tutored throughout high school and college.

...called the Experimentors who taught K-12 science and math. We traveled to various schools throughout Boston after class and organized curriculums for different subjects and age groups. However, I was always drawn more to teaching one-on-one, where I could form a relationship and really tailor my teaching style to the students' way of thinking and approaching various concepts and ideas. I have been fortunate to instruct and engage with students in a variety of ways,...

I have experience working with nontraditional...

...University, along with an additional Graduate Certificate in Middle School Mathematics Education. Last summer, I returned home to Portland after a two-year teaching engagement in northern Thailand, where I taught a variety of subjects (including Math and Science) to students in grades 5 - 10 in a private international school. I just completed a contract as the Middle School Math and Science teacher and 7th grade Homeroom teacher at Arthur Academy in St. Helens, Oregon....

...a minor in math. I've been a tutor for over 2 years and I've had great relationships with all my students. I believe in providing direction so that students can arrive at an answer themselves; I've found that this method allows for a greater degree of retention opposed to simply demonstrating the problem and hoping they will remember the steps. I know that anyone can learn any subject with enough dedication, no matter how difficult,...

Numbers are the same everywhere. This helped in my university environment because the diversity of the campus was quite...

...concentration in biology. My major consisted of many very physics-heavy classes, as well as lots of biology and math classes. I also took several chemistry, engineering, and computer science classes. My year-long research project that I did for my senior year was a bio-statistics project, focused on mining the NCBI DNA database and collecting information on specific transcripts. I look forward to every new student I tutor for a myriad of reasons! First, both teaching...

...one summer for a math tutoring camp where we worked with students who had failed algebra in the past. When they were allowed individual attention and the chance to take tests when they were ready, many excelled. I also was the only student to tutor after school among teachers. (Since I graduated, the school has created a designated program for high-performing students to do the same.) Now I attend Reed College full time as an...
