...Physics, and Film. It is also worth noting that I was able to accomplish all of this in three years, rather than four, due to my focus and success on AP tests. As for my specific tutoring experience, I have been teaching students since high school, and volunteering with local children of lower socioeconomic status for the past three years. These lessons have been for students of all ages ranging from elementary school to college....

...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 same confusion about a topic that...

...to college, a degree in engineering seemed like the perfect choice. After college I worked in the aerospace industry for 10 years as a systems engineer on several satellite programs. Although I enjoyed my job, I wanted to spend more time with my family. It was then that I discovered I absolutely love working with students. I became a part-time math teacher in a small private school, teaching everything from Algebra II to Calculus III....

...to English literature, to cell biology. However, I have decided to focus my tutoring attention solely towards PSAT/SAT/ACT prep. Getting into your dream school is a tough task. Helping students achieve their goals is the reason I have gotten into tutoring and I firmly believe I have the ability to make a difference. I have always been a laid back, patient person and my time working at a medical clinic has helped me develop the...

...though my four years in high school that connected high school tutors with peers, middle school students, and potentially students from an underfunded local elementary school in attempts to make academic help more accessible. I tutored in a number of different math classes at the time. In college, I worked with a tutoring agency to teach 6-12 year old student Python, Java, Scratch, and Web Development. My goal is to help you learn concepts and...

...a prestigious full-ride award given to 20 of the best and brightest students in Arizona out of a pool of nearly 600. My tutoring style is 100% student-first.

...my Master's Degree in Educational Technology from Northern Arizona University. During my tenure as a classroom and online instructor, I tutored a number of students as my easygoing nature and approach to learning worked well with students. I am well versed in ELA (English Language Arts) courses but can pretty much tutor any subject area. My approach to tutoring is not necessarily to "give" the answer, but rather to allow the student to be able...

...my strong suit. I am also currently working for the Social Insect Research Group (SIRG) at ASU doing Genetics work on a local harvester ant species. I love research and I love teaching individuals, especially when the information I am providing is not well known. In the past I have worked in medicine as an EMT/Ski Patroller and a Medical Assistant. I truly love academia and plan to pursue a PhD and a professorship later...

...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. In my free time, I like to play ice hockey (or...

...teaching fourth and fifth grade, I have taught before and after school Reading and Math classes. I especially have enjoyed teaching our before and after school classes because I get to work one-on-one with the students. Although I enjoy teaching a variety of subjects, Reading is my passion! My teaching style is enthusiastic, loving, and engaging! I believe that each individual learner is different, therefore, it is crucial to use a variety of teaching strategies...

...providing the students problem-solving skills that would be applicable to both academia and their personal life. Simultaneously, provide mentorship and guidance in the students' pursuit in a career in fields of their choosing. I feel that it is important to empower the students to take responsibility for their own education than to give them the solutions to their academic issues. Study and organizational skills are built into every lesson, along with test-taking skills and course...

...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 learning material through the repetition of problems approached in different ways...

...undergraduate, I was the recipient of a Teaching Excellence award for a Teaching Assistant position I held for a Microbiology Lab, which was an expected but great honor for me to receive. I have held two very different chemistry based jobs (one that I am currently in now) since graduation in which I test drinking water and foods for a vast array of microbial agents and chemical compounds that are dangerous to the public. Using...

...years in Indiana, teaching high school special education. I taught resource Biology, resource classes for study skills and homework help, and I co-taught for language arts. After being laid off in Indiana, I moved to Arizona, where I began teaching in Phoenix. I taught 7/8 grade for one year and then moved to 6th grade, within the same school. I teach special education: math and writing, including co-taught math within the general education classroom. As...

...ASU I had the opportunity to work at the Downtown Student Success Center for two years as a supplemental instructor. Most of my students were pre-med or studying to become nurses. My favorite subject to teach was Anatomy/Physiology, but I also enjoyed most math and sciences courses especially General and Organic Chemistry. In my spare time, I enjoy competing in all types of sports, reading a good book and taking a ride on my motorcycle.

...support the importance of education because of its ability to empower and improve people's lives. I have made it a priority of mine to tutor in my community as it allows me the opportunity to give back to the students of Phoenix. Given my affinity for problem solving, mathematics teaching, character development and building personal relationships, I am a great candidate to help you progress your learning and advance your thinking.

...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 been through exactly what they're going...

I am a Mathematics and STEM focused tutor, teaching all levels, from elementary through college. I love supporting students in their learning and helping them succeed in school!

My academic and teaching experience focuses on the natural, social, and health sciences along with statistics and essay writing including graduate level research papers. I have presented numerous research papers at national psychology conventions and received a...

...a B.S. in Molecular and Cellular Biology from the University of Arizona. I've been on academic probation and truly understand what it's like to struggle with material. That struggle helps me to be a better teacher. I start medical school this fall, which goes to show that it does not matter if you have a difficult start. What does matter is how you choose to respond to challenges and what you do to overcome them.
