...thinking" framework for creative problem solving pioneered by the international design firm IDEO. While typically used in startups to develop new innovations, I've found it extremely handy in tutoring. Every student is different and so are their difficulties, so a finite set of ways to present a concept or tackle a difficulty is potentially limiting. In my experience, it's much more effective to use an adaptive framework like design thinking to identify the root of...

...am a PhD student studying bioengineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I have a BS degree in mechanical engineering with a minor in chemistry. I have over 6 years of experience in tutoring middle school, high school and college students in the following subjects: algebra, geometry, statistics, calculus, biology, chemistry and physics. I went through both the AP and IB systems myself, so I am very familiar with AP testing and the IB diploma...

...California. I tutor in higher level math and physics as well as general K-8 subjects. I love learning and I especially love transferring my love for learning to students through tutoring. I love the process of teaching tutees how to master problem solving, rather than memorizing steps and formulas, so that they can consistently and effectively apply the concepts that they have learned in new ways. My goal is to push students to think about...

...tutor are Japanese and different levels of mathematicsfields that I particularly loveas well as standardized test preparation (SAT, SSAT, ISEE, and HSPT). I have found that studying becomes more enjoyable and effective when content is connected with examples of application. Finding funny, memorable ways to apply course content is my favorite way to internalize the material. I view learning as equipping myself with different tools to better understand the world. With this attitude, studying became...

...are valued members of my classroom regardless of their background, education or other social factors. Part of my effectiveness as an instructor is my ability to relate scientific concepts with everyday concepts students are familiar with. For instance, students have trouble visualizing ionic movements and how these movements relate to the establishment of resting membrane potential. I turn myocytes/neurons into banks and ions into dollars. Students understand money and can relate that concept to ionic...

Hi students! I've been a teacher or tutor for more than five years and am passionate about teaching students of all ages in these subjects: learning English as a second language, elementary education (math, science, reading, writing, and social studies) and teaching about wildlife and ecosystems. I have taught English to high school students in Japan and taught elementary Math, Reading, and Writing.

...college level at Northern Arizona University, Coconino Community College, and now at Shoreline Community College. I have been tutoring in mathematics since I was in high school. Mathematics is a difficult subject to teach because it is so comprehensive and individual. You cannot solve a problem if there is some underlying logic to the problem that you don't understand. I pride myself in finding out what concepts my students do understand, and building from that...

...students so I'd like to say I understand and get along pretty well with them! As for my tutoring style, it varies from student to student. I gauge what works and does not work when it comes to teaching techniques and tailor my approach to best help my student learn. Additionally, I've seen that asking questions and guiding my students to the answer helps them retain more information than simply telling them what the correct...

...have always been a coach. In middle school, I was a peer coach. In high school, I volunteered as a counselor at a nature conservation camp for 5th and 6th graders. In college, I began coaching football at the high school level. My studies lead me to working with elementary and secondary school students focusing on speech and language development. However, I absolutely LOVE teaching math. It's numbers that really show a young person's mind...

...tutor I have had experience tutoring individuals as well as groups (10-15 people). The subjects that I currently tutor are algebra, calculus, and statistics. Of these subjects I enjoy statistics the most though, both tutoring and learning, because of how applicable to the world it is in almost every field. When tutoring I try to focus on how to learn. This means not only how to learn the material but which methods of learning work...

...with standardized tests. I love helping students especially in the area of physics given it's one of my passions and it's really rewarding giving back. I've had incredible physics professors who inspired this passion in me and I hope to pass that on to future students.
