I volunteer in New Haven as a math teacher and coach at a public middle school (my team of 7th graders just won the 2016 New Haven regional championship!), and I've been tutoring middle and high school students for over 7 years....

...reasoning disintegrated. So, we followed the mantra Algebra is not magic, reminding the student in times when she faltered that she can think through a math problem. As long as she felt grounded enough to access her innate understanding of the world around us, she progressed. Later on, my extensive experience in the classroom as a Jumpstart Corps Member taught me to adapt my teaching style to each childs needs. While some learned better through...

...elementary topics, such as algebra 1 or German word order, and complex ones, such as deontological critiques of utilitarian ethics. By valuing all levels of difficulty, I am able to give students a firm foundation, with which they can grasp truly complex ideas in the topic at hand and in their future learning. While my interests in the areas described are powerful and abundant, I also enjoy painting, composing, hiking and camping.

...Yale University, hailing originally from Seattle in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I believe that education is one of the most fundamental aspects of a society's wellbeing, and that it is the duty of those of us who have been graced with the advantages of a good education to give back in some way; one of my motivations for tutoring is to do my part in that way. In my free time, I love playing piano,...

...from grades K-5. Helping students learn is my passion. When tutoring, I first try and understand what the student already knows and what direction they are heading in. From there, I can better help the student achieve their goals. Additionally, every student learns differently. Because of this, I believe it is essential to teach multiple methods to students and let them decide which one works for them. As a future educator, I get excited to...

...realized that teaching was much more than bestowing information upon a room of students, to be soaked up by their sponge-like brains. I came to understand that teaching is far more complex, demanding, and rewarding than I ever imagined. Like teaching in a classroom, tutoring involves more than academic content. Tutors must instruct and reinforce skills that equip students for lifelong learning and success. Tutoring is really about meeting a child where she or he...

...my Masters in Teaching and Learning in Technology. I believe all students can learn. A tutor’s job is to use the student’s strengths as a leaner, and their learning style to teach them successful strategies to master skills and concepts. Outside from my career, I love to listen to music, run, and most importantly spend time with my friends and family. I cannot wait to make a difference in your learning experience!... I believe all students...

I moved on to teach in classrooms, churches, small group settings, swimming pools (as a swim instructor) and even in my own home. As a homeschool mom, I teach my own children and am preparing them for college. I believe that if learning is boring, frustrating or upsetting, it's not being done right. We can do better! So my...

I will insure a comfortable, interesting...

...of my tutoring. Additionally, I have been a tutor in a variety of subjects since I was in high school. Initially, my first students were middle schoolers needing additional help with their algebra during a homework club. This quickly expanded to personal tutoring, where I focused one on one with students to cover subjects more advanced such as pre-calculus and calculus. The most recent students I have worked with have been utilizing my knowledge to...

...is one of the highest experiences of which the human psyche is capable." I am also a believer in the Socratic Method. Whenever I uttered a phrase akin to "I don't know," my parents would reply with, "figure it out." And so I did. I have an expansive list of interests and hobbies, too vast to list in its entirety. I will say that most of my interests lie in discovering, building, and exploring. I...

...always more to learn, and I hope that I can instill the curiosity, wonder, and interest I have developed in my studies. I will do everything that I can to make sure my students leave each session with more knowledge and a better understanding of the material than at the start of the session, and will work as hard and as long as I have to make sure that my students completely understand everything they...

...essay writing. Math, mainly Algebra (but spanning up to statistics and calculus II) has also always been a strong subject for me, and the majority of my professional tutoring experience comes from a full year, full-time fellowship teaching pre-algebra and algebra I.
