Award-Winning Tutors in Columbus, OH

...and MCAT and am able to assist students in preparing for those tests. With three younger siblings, it seems like I was always tutoring, but I have formal experiences through volunteer tutoring programs, teaching tennis, and teaching piano. I believe that you don't truly understand a concept until you can explain it to someone else, and I intend to use that approach with every tutoring session. In my free time, I enjoy reading historical fiction,...

...second-grade teacher, found herself struggling to serve effectively as an algebra tutor. I put in an enthusiastic effort, and it worked out surprisingly well. Despite once “struggling in math” (this was the questionable word choice of his teachers), he eventually graduated college with a degree in mechanical engineering. Over the years, I have taught math, English, science, computer programming, and Latin. When I tutor, I am always careful to be empathetic, attentive, and flexible. I...

...teacher and educator. When I reflect on the exceptional teachers that I have had during my college years, they all have three traits in common: They have an obvious passion for what they are teaching; they describe complex concepts in simple ways that are easy to visualize; and they build clear connections between theoretical problems and real world situations. In addition to these traits, the best educators I know are personable, respectable, persistent, and good...

...My desire to help others, love of science, and inquisitive mind compelled me to pursue a career path in medicine. I attended Jacksonville University, FL for my undergraduate BS in Biology (Pre-Med) with a minor in Psychology. While I was a student there, I volunteered my time helping elementary school students. I also was a Teaching Assistant for Biology and have experience in assisting with pre-medical classes such as Anatomy and Physiology. I attended graduate...

...students come to me for Math, but I have also worked with students on SAT and ACT test prep, Statistics and Physics. Everyone learns in a slightly different way, and I love figuring out the best way to teach something to people individually and dig down to what questions they really need to have answered to understand the material. In my spare time, I like to go on long bike rides and explore St. Louis's...

...writing, English, or Spanish during our tutoring sessions. I use these subjects as a catalyst for helping them learn about themselves the world around them. As for educational credentials, I have a Bachelor's Degree in English and journalism with a minor in Spanish. I also have a Master's degree in education. I finished both degrees with a 3.9 GPA. I have experience working with students from pre-K to college undergrads as a tutor, a mentor,...

...activities, and games. Last year I taught 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year level Mandarin courses in the Upper School at the Latin School of Chicago. After graduating from Oberlin College in 2007 I spent two years teaching English at the Shanxi Agricultural University in Taigu, Shanxi Province of China. Since then I have completed three intensive summer immersion Chinese language courses, worked as the assistant director for the Middlebury-Monterey Chinese language academy at Bard College...

...to accomplish this, I will be organized, prepared and demonstrate competence in the subjects I teach, every day. To help students develop I will adapt lesson plans to their different learning styles and use lecture, audiovisual, and hands-on demonstrations to meet each student' needs." When I am not teaching I like to watch NCIS, Forensic Files, and Doctor Who (although I miss David Tennant and Matt Smith). I am waiting for The Walking Dead to...

...the elementary school where my mom teaches special education. I would go in after school and help the students with their homework. I found it to be an incredibly rewarding experience. Tutoring saved the students so much frustration having someone there to answer their questions. I am currently working towards a degree in Molecular Genetics at Columbus State with the intent of transferring to Ohio State University within the year. I tutor several types of...

...tutoring and teaching strategy primarily involves coaching students with questions that will help them develop ideas for writing and problem solve issues in their own writing. My goal is to guide students through the learning processes, making them the advocates of their own learning. When working with students on reviewing drafts of papers, I take an "umbrella" approach, assessing and providing feedback on "big picture" concepts like idea development and cohesiveness in writing and directing...

...interested in history and geography so moving to an area with such rich history is a treat for me! I am spending my free time making trips to new historic sites and museums. I truly believe every child can and will learn. It is my job as the educator to find out the best way that student learns and then capitalize on it. I believe in teaching using the 4 modalities of learning to help...

...The students were a lovable, rascally bunch. We tumbled over tangled tongue twisters; tore through the halls on madcap scavenger hunts; tossed frisbees over lunch breaks and after classes; and whaled on each other with foam swords and battle axes. (We also practiced English.) Eventually, one year turned into three. I finished my two-year Fulbright grant and spent one last year teaching English, cooking, and yoga at Aran Kindergartento a new bunch of lovable rascalsin...

...make lasting impacts on their lives. I accept this responsibility and employ strategies that make the most of this time with my students. One of my strategies is teaching to the whole student. I make time to build a rapport by learning about students lives and interests. I always express a genuine concern for my students and use that rapport to construct a positive learning environment. It seems small but I need my students to...

...problem is a mini game. :) I believe that teachers should always be passionate and patient about the subject they are teaching. My favorite teachers have been the ones who are truly excited when they are conveying the lessons to their students. Teaching is not only a career that I'm pursuing after graduate school, it is also something I have done for the past 2.5 years. I have over 500 hours of experience teaching 55...

...I am very passionate about English, Writing, and Literature. I view the written word as a commentary on the human condition, as well as a gateway into higher levels of thinking and analyzing that everyone can use in all situations. I find education as a place in which students and teachers can come together to create, explore, and expand their understanding of the world in new, unique ways for each individual. In my spare time,...

...his class, complete their homework, and be attentive. He made class fun and entertaining for everyone.. I wanted to make future students??? experience as good as mine was in Mr. Martin???s eighth grade American History class. As a tutor, I look to instill the same approaches that I do when I am teaching. Maintaining a strong bond with my student, one that the student will feel comfortable to let his/her work be vulnerable for critique...

...I am earning my teaching credential in Social Science and my M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction. I hold a B.S. in Sport Leadership and Sport Humanities with a minor in General Business from The Ohio State University. I chose to pursue a career in education because I am passionate about serving others and helping students reach their full potentials. I have in-classroom experience teaching both middle school and high school students. Additionally, I have worked...

...in college and spent six months living in Aix-en-Provence where I took intensive French courses and lived with a French woman. Inspired by my experience, I hoped to come back and work. After graduating in 2013 I became an English Teaching assistant in a high school and two middle schools in Tulle. I fell in love with teaching English and after I returned to the States I became a substitute teacher and pursued my TEFL...

...mathematics and statistics. I have spent the last two years working on an M.S. degree in Statistics at The Ohio State University. At OSU I have taught undergraduate students through the leading of recitations, tutoring students in the statistics tutoring lab, as well as teaching a lecture section to over 200 students. In my many years of working with students in math and statistics, what I have learned is that everyone can be successful if...

...have been teaching and tutoring Algebra I and II and Physics to adult students. Many of these students have little background in math, so I have to start with the very basics to help them. I go as far back as needed, then try to help a student move forward from there. In addition to teaching, I spend a lot of time behind a paint brush, often refurbishing the walls of our house; I also...
