...exams, we always have fun determining the study method that works best for them. Everybody has a different learning style and once we hone in on the right one for you, an improvement in scores will become more than apparent.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, running, cooking,...

...concepts are understood, rather than formulas memorized. When helping students prepare for standardized tests I focus on taking practice exams and working with students on the areas they need the most help. Outside of school I enjoy hiking, gardening, reading, and cooking. I like to explore new ways of doing things and being outside. I like to try to strike a good balance between learning, working, and enjoying time by myself, as well as with...

...I spent my lunch hour tutoring students who were struggling in their classes. Initially, I found this difficult; it was a challenge determining exactly where a student's understanding of a topic was faulty. Over time, however, I developed a keener sense for the hurdles that students sometimes face when learning, as well as the most efficient ways to overcome them. I also developed more patience and empathy through tutoring - I often remembered feeling the...

...described 10 species of weevil (snout beetle) that were completely new to science. As part of my degree program, I have taught several different science classes. One of my favorite parts of being a doctoral student has been teaching and working one-on-one with students. To me, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing something 'click' for a student. My interdisciplinary training in biology and materials science has taught me how to communicate complex subjects in...

...very patient and understanding person. I speak clearly and always make sure I can help the student find a way to understand the material, even if it means deviating form normal techniques. I have tutored both kids and peers in the past. I have found that for kids, especially in mathematics, relating to something they enjoy makes the experience more enjoyable. Regarding peers/college level students, I can relate to them very well, because I have...

...it into helpful learning devices, working through practice problems with a student while answering any questions they may have, and then summarizing what was done, answering final questions, and constructing a goals list at the end of a session. I mix homework and test-style problems with fun games like Jeopardy and Kahoot to keep students engaged while preparing them for what they will see in class. I look forward to working with you and helping...

...I've realized the impact that I can have as a tutor. In addition to helping students understand their classwork and improve their grades, I have the opportunity to build positive relationships, bring motivation to those in need of it, and most importantly, help others succeed after recognizing their potential. Although I tutor a wide range of subjects, my favorite subjects to tutor are those related to math and science because I believe in the importance...

I've been an entrepreneur, business consultant, and faculty member for over 16 years. My credentials include being a CPA with a Juris Doctor, Master of Accountancy, and Bachelor of Science in Business. My greatest strengths are being a good listener, creating strategy, and following through. I'm empathetic, but I don't back down from excuses because I know that within every "can't" is a "can". I admire truth and transparency.

...algebra I & II as well as helped classmates in courses like anatomy and physiology. I enjoy finding ways to tutor that relate to the student so dry topics like the order of operations can be easier to remember. I believe that math and science are key in getting further in education, which in itself is invaluable. Due to my background in math, I am very comfortable tutoring pre-algebra, algebra I, algebra II, geometry, and...

...In my spare time, I enjoy soaking up the beautiful views around here by hiking, running, and adventuring. My hobbies also include cooking and baking, beauty pageants, bargain shopping, and traveling whenever the opportunity arises. I began tutoring elementary and middle school students in basic study skills, math, and reading at a young age, and have been tutoring since. From there, my tutoring experiences have expanded to help students of all ages from primary school...

...their writing and standardized testing skills. Every student is different, and so I firmly believe that studying and learning habits should be tailored to each person. I make it a goal to help students discover how they learn best! I can also help students with organization and time management techniques along the way. When I'm not being a student, teacher, or researcher, I am usually making art or exploring the outdoors in sunny Arizona!

...work as a tutor as well as my career. Although I am knowledgeable in many academic areas, my favorite subjects are English and Mathematics and I have found that my excitement about these subjects is why I am so successful in helping others improve in these areas. I cater my teaching style depending on each student's learning style. Because everyone learns differently, I find it extremely important to get to know my students in the...

...through tutoring! I tutor Biology, Ecology, and standardized test prep. From high school to Stanford, I have learned that lectures are often difficult for students to follow. They can lose confidence in subjects because the information is not presented in a way that is effective for their learning. My job is to work with students to figure out the best way to learn challenging material. This may involve breaking down complicated ideas into consumable parts,...

I have many years of teaching experiences along with administration- leadership roles. As team leader, I was able to develop curriculum and implement procedures. I believe in team work and organizational flexibility according to student needs and goals. I seek professional challenges and personal growth. I look forward to our meeting and exchange ideas.

...I want my relationship with my students to feel like a friendship, and ideally, I want us both to have some fun. I'm a huge arts fanatic, particularly for music; ask me about my favorite albums of last year and I could probably give you a top 200. I've also been a guitarist and lyricist in several rock bands, and I'm currently working on putting together a hip hop album. I love watching movies, backpacking,...

...-- from those re-taking failed classes to those applying to (and being accepted at) the best universities. I'm proud to say that I've helped all my students reach their goals, frequently pushing them to exceed their expectations. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time outdoors and exploring all that Arizona has to offer -- it's so different from the east coast that I just can't get enough of it! I also like taking my telescope...

...Patroller and a Medical Assistant. I truly love academia and plan to pursue a PhD and a professorship later on but it doesn't totally encapsulate my life. I also love to ride my bike (both mountain and road). Nearly anything that will get me outside, I'm certain to enjoy (rock climbing, hiking, backpacking). Photography is another activity I enjoy, and it goes very well with my "outdoorsy" activities by giving me a way to artistically...

...most are the opportunities for practical experiences that I have had in my preferred subjects. Having the ability to use what I have learned in realistic settings has helped me to learn how to apply what I have been taught and shown me what areas to focus improving on. My hope is to help all the people I tutor to gain confidence in their subjects, and to be able to use said subjects in a...

...the last four years, I have worked in educational programs for middle school kids and have privately tutored students at USC in Introductory Biology. I can tutor math and science subjects of all levels for students from 4th-12th grade as well as the SAT. Biology and History are my favorite and strongest subjects as I enjoy the memorizing and understanding of large amounts of information. I enjoy helping students find a solid, consistent method of...

...the past two summers, I have worked at Epsilon Camp, which is a summer camp for students who are profoundly gifted in mathematics. My experience there inspired me to start tutoring again. I believe that all students learn a little differently, and though schools try their best they can't account for every learning style. My goal is to adapt my instruction to each student's preferences in order to help them as much as I can....
