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...
