I am a recent graduate of Centre College, where I earned my American Chemical Society-certified Bachelors of Science degree in Chemistry. At Centre, I was an extremely active student and played Division III field hockey, was a member of Greek life in Kappa Delta sorority, and was president of Girls in Engineering, Math, and Science - an afterschool program. I also served within the chemistry department as a student representative and general and organic chemistry teach assistant and tutor. Currently, I am a graduate student at Tufts University, where I am pursuing a PhD in Chemistry. My past teaching experiences have helped me develop a love for mentorship and science communication!Some coursework I am comfortable tutoring: ACT, chemistry, high school math, and IB courses/Diploma.

James
PhD Missouri University of Science and Technology • PhD Centre College
4+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Centre College of Kentucky with a BS in Applied Mathematics. I also have an MS and PhD in Statistics from Missouri University of Science and Technology. I had a long and fulfilling career teaching all levels of statistics at Truman State University in Missouri. Having retired in 2018, I taught high school mathematics and AP/dual credit statistics for 3 1/2 years at the high school I graduated from. It has been interesting "going back home." As I have taught a wide variety of courses, I particularly enjoy teaching and tutoring introductory statistics classes. I enjoy having the opportunity and challenge of making statistics accessible to a broad audience. I have also worked as a consultant to work directly with students who are preparing for the AP Statistics exam. It is rewarding to see them make connections and prepare for such a big exam. I know that education opened a whole new world for me as I graduated high school, left the family farm, and became a college professor. When I left home, I didn't know how to even dream for such a life. I am a strong proponent for understanding how a formula or process works (or "thinks") so that my students can formulate for themselves how to interpret its results. I constantly seek to find encounters for them with the concepts that I am teaching. When I am not teaching, I greatly enjoy photography and working with my hands on all kinds of different projects.

Grace
Current Undergrad Student, Environmental Studies Centre College
9+ Years Tutoring

I am a current junior at Centre College in Danville, Kentucky. Upon my graduation in 2022, I will be dual majoring in Environmental Studies and Asian Studies with a focus in Chinese. I received the Chinese language scholarship, as well. I have tutored students in Chinese ranging from middle school level through college level. While I am able to tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Chinese, English, and essay editing. My tutoring style is kind and patient, and I do my best to make every lesson engaging and entertaining. I am passionate about helping students, specifically when they are learning a language, because I want students to have the confidence to use a language that could be vastly different from the one's their friends and parents may have studied. This confidence will carry them forward in not only studying said language, but other areas of study, as well. In my spare time, I love to read YA and fantasy books, create wire sculptures, play tennis, and watch movies with my family.

Josh
PhD The Ohio State University • BA Centre College
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a student and life-long learner who is currently between undergraduate and graduate school. In May 2015, I received a Bachelor of Science in Behavioral Neuroscience and Biology from Centre College, and in September 2015, I will attend The Ohio State University to work towards a PhD in neuroscience. Throughout my academic journey, I have been guided by incredible teachers who have served as friends, mentors, and role models. I see teaching as a way to give back to my role models by passing down their knowledge to future generations of students. My well-rounded liberal arts education qualifies me to tutor a variety of subjects including algebra, biology, psychology, reading, and writing. As a neuroscience and biology double-major, I have an especially strong background in psychology and biology; however, I am also passionate about reading and writing as aptitude in these subjects forms the foundation of effective communication and comprehension of all other subjects. My teaching philosophy emphasizes individual learning and personal attention. I graduated from a small college where this philosophy is considered paramount, and by working as a teaching assistant there, I developed my skills as a teacher capable of providing a personalized education. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, reading poetry and fiction, hiking, and training for my first marathon.

Evan
BA Centre College
9+ Years Tutoring

I've been teaching in various forms over the past eight years, and nothing has been more meaningful and exciting for me than helping students grow as independent learners! As a principle, I don't just give students the answers - I ask questions to help guide them towards the solution using the concepts they know and the information they're given in each problem. After students develop a strong foundation, I've found that they have greater confidence in their own abilities and don't find problems nearly as intimidating. If a student becomes more confident in their abilities and no longer needs my help, I consider my job well done! I earned a dual Bachelor's Degree in Physics and Chemistry, with a minor in Mathematics, from a small liberal arts institution. (Or in other words, thousands of hours spent either in front of a chalk board or in a chemistry lab - and I loved every minute of it!) As a graduate physics TA at the University of Kentucky, I've spent seven semesters teaching physics laboratory courses to 60 undergraduates per semester. I create my own presentations, interactive activities, and worksheets to help my students learn the complex physics and error analysis concepts. In my second year, I was promoted to a Supervising TA position, in which I continued to teach while supervising and advising 5-6 other TAs teaching the same course. Beyond my university experience, I've worked as a math, science, test prep, and history tutor for over 1000 hours through various companies and independently. I excel in working with small groups or one-on-one, and I've received overwhelmingly positive reviews from my students for my attitude, patience, willingness to help, and careful attention to helping each student learn in their own way. I hold myself to a high standard and am constantly seeking to improve as an educator. I welcome all feedback and will tailor my sessions to meet your needs, whether that be preparing for exams, working through current homework, or reviewing concepts in general. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you succeed as an independent learner!

MS University of Louisville • BA Centre College
1+ Years Tutoring

A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, I matriculated at Centre College in Danville. There I studied history and played for the school soccer team. I left with many bruises and a degree in history.After a short diversion to serve my country in the Army, I moved to Louisville. I worked for the city and later the water company. I returned to school at the University of Louisville. I worked on a Master's degree in Teaching and certification in learning and behavior disorders.Once certified, I embarked on a career teaching. I have worked at three different high schools, teaching regular and resource classes, as well as coaching soccer. At the moment, I work as a special education teacher inside Our Lady of Peace hospital. There, I work daily to meet the educational needs of students with significant behavioral issues that temporarily prevent attendance at a regular school.I have worked as a tutor at various times throughout my teaching career. For several years, I worked evenings and Saturday mornings at a Sylvan Learning Center. Later, I tutored individual students through an organization called ClubZ!I tutor because it allows me to work one-on-one with a student. As a classroom teacher, I rarely get this opportunity. The opportunity for individual instruction gives me the chance to see real progress in the students I have the privilege to tutor.Outside of teaching, I enjoy coaching (and watching) soccer. I also like to ride my bike along the new trail through the Parklands of Floyds Fork.
