...have been tutoring and/or formally teaching children, college students and professionals for more than a decade. I love teaching French - my mother tongue- not only via the mechanics of it -grammar, pronunciation etc-, but also via the culture. A lot of the soul of French language, the authentic expressions that we use in French are rooted in the culture: that's why we natives master them and non-native don't really. I also enjoy teaching the...

...our bodies and the world around us functions is astonishing and I can't seem to get enough of knowing about it. Many see science as boring and difficult to understand, but I agree with Richard Dawkins when he wrote, "the feeling of awed wonder that science can give us 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...

...score of 5 on the AP exams for each of them. Currently, I am a sophomore at the University of Rochester with a 3.92 GPA and I am planning on going to dental school after college.

...of experience as a teaching assistant at the University of Pittsburgh, I have had a lot of experience mentoring students on the subject. My responsibilities as a TA included teaching recitation and supervising organic chemistry labs, tutoring undergraduates 4 hours a week, creating and grading quizzes and exams, and grading exams from lecture courses.

I am passionate about science and enjoy tutoring all aspects of Biology along with Chemistry. I know the value of critical thinking,...

...I've been working in education for nearly 10 years, as a tutor, classroom teacher (I am certified in Math 7-12 in Connecticut), and developer of teaching materials. My most recent gigs have been hourly / independent contractor / free-lance, which I haven't put on my resume. I've been tutoring, mostly for the Hamden (CT) school district as a three-quarters-time job but also occasionally for some local agencies. And I've been developing materials for several publishers...

My students have ranged in age from preschool to college level. I have a Bachelors and Masters degree in education...

...in Biomedical Engineering. I have been tutoring for four years in a professional setting and seven years on a volunteer basis, specializing in math and science education. I also worked as a curriculum designer for an SAT tutoring firm.

...of three daughters (15, 12 and 8), I am very experienced in working with children and teens and motivating them to succeed at schoolwork and writing (without doing the work for them!). As a marketing manager for a major publisher of children's content, my job requires me to tackle writing projects every day with the aim of really getting the message across. Both of these attributes will help my students as they work on reading,...

...for general biology, and in my senior year I became a teachers assistant for biochemistry while still being a teachers assistant for general biology and anatomy and physiology. In these classes my basic duties included supervising, mentoring and assisting students during a laboratory session, answering any questions and providing guidance both in and out of the lab in order to fully grasp the material. While as an undergraduate I was given the privilege of being...

...I realized I had always loved two things: Teaching and English. I made this realization after being in a trainer position at the job I currently held. So back to school I went. By 2012 I had earned a degree in English and in December 2015 I received my masters in secondary education. I hold a current Connecticut Teacher Certification (015).

I also have a background in languages, which allows me to...

I have been tutoring and teaching for the last 12 years. Throughout my early years of service working with various ages of students in middle school, high school, and at the college level, I had concluded that I could best serve mankind by teaching inner city students in secondary school to learn to read and write through the appreciation of literature.

...York University. Helping fellow students has always been a passion of mine. I think that the goal of tutoring shouldn't be to simply help students pass tests or raise their grades. My goal whenever I tutor is to help the student feel confident and comfortable enough to continue growing independently long after tutoring sessions. I have tutoring experience in Reading, Math, and Sciences with all ages of elementary students, as well as Calculus and Chemistry...

...professional and punctual. I enjoy being part of a team, working collaboratively to achieve results at the highest standard. I love tutoring; I find the whole experience extremely rewarding. I have tutored in the UK for 3 years and have recently moved to the US. I think that the most rewarding thing you can see from a student is the willingness to learn, make mistakes and get better. My favourite part of maths is Algebra,...

...wanted to be a teacher. I also constantly had my nose buried in a book, so becoming an English teacher was the next logical step. I graduated from Central Connecticut State University in 2012 and taught for the next two years, 2012-2014. I thoroughly enjoyed my classes, but always felt that I would be better suited to working one on one with my students to individualize their educations and enable me to have meaningful discussions...
