...commitment to service and my belief that knowledge empowers individuals to shape their futures. Through my work with various community initiatives, I have witnessed firsthand how education can break cycles of hardship and open doors to opportunity.

Currently, I am an undergraduate student at George Washington University in the BA/MD program, pursuing a career in medicine. My academic background...

...reading comprehension skills. While in NYC, I also took advantage of the great higher education institutions there by obtaining my masters in Reading from Teachers College at Columbia University.

I am going into my third year as Biology student at the University at Buffalo. Once I graduate I intend on pursuing a career in teaching. I enjoy working with kids and would love to have the opportunity to help someone improve on a subject they may be struggling in.

I love learning and I truly believe that knowledge is power. I have been tutoring since I was in high school and I have 2 children who I work with nearly every day. Everybody is different and learns in different ways but that is what makes each one of us so special. As a tutor, I try to unlock which methods works for those I tutor and teach them how to build upon those strengths.

...algebra. In addition to tutoring, I have worked as a teaching assistant for two courses in college. One belief of mine that has formed the foundation of my teaching philosophy is that education becomes something truly special once a student applies both the lessons and thinking skills they've learned in their daily life. This is achieved not only by providing active, engaging education but by empathizing and relating with students as well.

...and Curriculum. Tutoring is a life-long passion of mine. I started tutoring as a high school student and have not stopped since. It is what led to my current career as an English teacher of middle and high school students. I enjoy the challenge of working with students and figuring out what about a subject puzzles them or with what they could most use help. I hope to work with as many students as I...

...students - seven essays on a variety of subjects including literature, philosophy, and education. Once admitted to Deep Springs, students are typically required to read upwards of 100 pages per day from authors such as Hegel, Joyce, and Thucydides; and to write several essays per week, which are peer-critiqued in seminar classes. I plan to bring my depth of experience in reading, critical analysis, and writing to each tutoring session in order to help students...

Social studies teacher dedicated to providing the best possible education to all students.

...the development and success of their students both short and long term. This specific influence along with a few others pushed me towards a teaching career. The world today is constantly changing and not always for the better. Students face many tough decisions after high school and many of them receive no guidance with what comes next. Providing students with an appropriate background to be successful in the real world is becoming increasingly important. Without...

...any setting, but when I started to tutor online over eight years ago, I discovered my greatest passion. It's a joy to work with students individually and to use their strengths and interests to customize lessons "on the spot." My approach is often unique because I have a background in both math/science and English language arts. (For example, if a student loves math but struggles with writing, I can help him or her understand writing...

Then I use activities and discussions tailored to their needs to teach them reading and writing strategies...

I hold a B.S. in Physics and an M.S. in Physics Education, and I am certified to teach Physics and General Science in New York State. My teaching style is inquiry-based and student-centered. I guide students with questions that lead them to discover concepts on their own, rather than...

...This skill helps me to find the most efficient descriptions of processes based on the student. Different people need different explanations for the same material. This has been proven time and time again from my helping with Calculus as a teacher's assistant to Statistics; as a teacher at the college level, to helping children learn fractions. My wish is to help students build a confidence through what they know and discover that they know more...

...University. While I enjoy discussing a variety of subjects, tutoring math, history, and political science are perhaps most appealing to me. I find that the act of explaining something to someone else helps me to understand it on an even deeper level, and I find that almost as gratifying as helping someone discover something new. The best thing about tutoring is helping someone to discover, or rediscover, the joy of discovery in themselves.
