I am a graduate of Binghamton University and Stony Brook University. I earned a B.S degree in Computer Science and M.S. degree in Business. As a personal tutor, my primary goal is to help my students discover a hidden sweetness in the so called bitterness of education, in the hope that one day that sweetness of knowledge will guide them to a wonderland no one has ever seen before. In my spare time, I enjoy designing hardware and software systems, researching and surfing the net, traveling, and listening to music.

Throughout high school I had inspirational teachers that influenced my need to enrich the lives of students. As a graduate from Stony Brook University with a Bachelors Degree in Earth and Space Science for Education, I am confident that I can utilize my knowledge to benefit the learning processes of students of various ages. I believe it is important to relate students academic and extra curricular interests to what I am tutoring, therefore we can focus on the positives! Nothing makes me happier to see a students light bulb go on after struggling with a subject! My goal as a tutor is to engage students throughout the learning process. As a self proclaimed science nerd, I believe that we should ask questions. I will encourage my students to go beyond what they are learning and ask "why" the world is the way it is!It is important to me that not only are my students gaining knowledge from me but I also learn from them. Children are our future. I find I t is imperative that we as educators teach them the fundamentals of science and math so they can grow into the thinkers that change the world!

I did my bachelor's degree at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) in math and physics, and got my master's in math from Stony Brook University. I tutor all kinds of math, including more advanced math major-specific courses that you may have struggled to find a tutor for in the past. I think my favorite part of it all is seeing my students come up with cool solutions on their own. I think it's best to learn my doing, so I ask my students a lot of questions in my tutoring sessions. In my spare time I play music (piano mostly), read, and play video games.

I am a rising junior at Stony Brook University majoring in Chemical and Molecular Engineering. My passion for tutoring started off in high school as I explained certain topics to my friends once in a while. Not only did this make me realize that it made me understand those topics better, but more importantly, it made me feel good knowing that I was able to teach something to someone successfully. This passion evolved as I became a paid tutor for the SAT test in my senior year of high school, a teaching assistant for Calc IV in my third semester of college, and a residential tutor for Organic Chemistry in my fourth semester of college. Currently, my favorite subjects to tutor are Chemistry, the SAT, and Algebra/Calculus I. I can make complex concepts and questions simpler by implementing various tips and tricks that I have learned throughout my time of learning and teaching these subjects. My teaching philosophy revolves around my belief that everyone can learn a subject, they just have to be taught the right way.

Hello to all my students! My name is Irfan, and I am more than happy to help. I am a medical doctor with strengths in anatomy, biology, and several other sciences. I was once where you were, and I fully understand that sometimes some subjects are just too difficult to understand. I believe, however, from my experience that no subject is too difficult. The key is to break down the topics in simpler terms that are easy to digest! After that, you will be able to tackle anything. I am here to assist you on your journey and look forward to working with you! :)

I am NYS certified Mathematics Teacher (Grades 7-12) currently teaching in Harlem, NY. As someone who loved the sciences I want to encourage students to enjoy the struggle that comes with advanced mathematics and to recognize the importance of math proficiency among other subjects. I believe the key to motivating students to push themselves with certain topics is relatability; how can I take what I learned and apply it to something that I want to accomplish?

I am a graduate of the honors college of the State University of New York at Stony Brook, where I received Bachelor of Science degrees in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics. My previous experiences include tutoring 7th grade math and serving as a teaching assistant at Stony Brook. I have also been helping friends with their class work since high school. I tutor mathematics and computer science, which I enjoy primarily because of the logic utilized in identifying the problems and applying the correct methods to solve them. In my spare time, I enjoy playing video games, reading, and participating in sports such as soccer, bowling, and tennis.

My name is Selin Yalcin and I am thrilled to be your Tutor. I am an enthusiastic and motivated individual who loves to help teach students in grades K-12 while acting as a coach to advise and maximize the students' learning gains and build their self-confidence. I am a graduate of Stony Brook University with a bachelor's degree in both Biology and Human Evolutionary Biology and am currently a student in Boston University's Master's Anatomy Program with a teaching module. I graduated with honors distinction and also worked as a tutor in a learning center. I am driven but also compassionate toward students. As a result of my work in the learning center, I am used to effectively communicating with a student to identify any gaps in their skill or knowledge and how to resolve issues. I am able to teach a variety of STEM subjects such as Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Living Environment, Biology, Chemistry, and Anatomy. I am also experienced in teaching the math portion of both the SAT and ACT, one of my former students scored a 1520 on their SAT.

When I'm tutoring, my goal is not simply to help a student perform for a test or even whole course. That's only goal one.I aim for a tutoring environment which generates discussion, and proposes solutions, in which students think critically about the content at hand, ask their own questions, and exercise ways to find their own answers. Learning in this manner allows students to better face future challenges, and think critically about topics in and out of academia.I look forward to working with you and helping you better yourself, whether that be in a class or for a test, for now and in the future.

Hard work pays off. Over the 5+ years tutoring, I have seen it happen with my students. I can help you perform your best on your math tests, whether it be the SAT or an exam in school.I graduated with a BA in philosophy, was on track to medical school, worked in a corporate setting, and am now a graduate student of theology. I have a very diverse background and a genuine interest in helping people, effectively and efficiently.

I, Dylan Trott, am a hardworking Mechanical Engineering student at Stony Brook University that understands the importance of helping others. I believe in uplifting my fellow students and offering my knowledge to any and all students who need it which is why I believe varsity tutoring is a perfect fit for me.

Hi! I'm Aderinsola, (Sola for short) and I graduated with my Bachelors in Public Health from Johns Hopkins University and my Masters in Biophysics/Physiology from Stony Brook University. While I was in college, I realized that the best way to comprehend what is taught isn't always in a classroom, but through your peers so I'm ready to help you in any way I can by simplifying everything into everyday language.I most recently worked with an enrichment program teaching science and math to elementary, middle, and high school aged children, and I figured that I loved it so much that I should expand past the four walls of my school. Plus I love the look on kids' faces when they finally get it!To some people math looks like a whole different language, but I understand it enough to turn it into simple english. I promise it's not as hard as they might make it in the classroom and I'm here to strengthen your skills so that you can see that too!I also LOVE science, even went back and got a second degree in it, so I'm pretty well rounded when it comes to biology, biochemistry, and physiology. Again, for some these subjects seem like a different, intangible world, but I promise that I can make it real, tangible and understandable.I want to help students as much as possible, and I plan on doing so through some innovative and exciting learning. I'm easy to reach and I'll always provide fast responses.Please feel free to contact me!

Xilin started learning chess in high school and soon become passionate to the world of 64 squares. He then helped his high school team to win the team 1st place trophy in a scholastic tournament. Despite of the heavy academic work in Stony Brook, Xilin has been an active eBoard of the college chess club. If you have any questions about chess, here is the right place to chat!

After working as a high school English teacher in New York for ten years, I came to Austin to pursue a PhD in Curriculum and Instruction at UT.Working with students on an individual basis is a wonderful opportunity for me to craft a personalized approach to subject matter and techniques. I especially enjoy working with students on their writing, whether personal essays or application statements that they have time to edit and revise, or on-demand writing tasks that appear on tests like the SAT or the AP Exam.

Long ago in the land of Stony Brook, one man's quest to find out what makes a good story began. For 8 semesters he studied why the pen is mightier than the sword. Between classes and trying to unwind from the day's deep discussions of literature, video games provided a sweet escape from the mentally taxing work and a reminder that people can still have fun writing. James has been playing games since he was three. Sometimes the two would even blend and like a rouge pick-pocketing a noble, breath of the wild was completed while complaining about The Scarlet letter. For social gatherings, trading card games and Dungeons and Dragons were the best option. School gave him the knowledge of analytic writing to argue any point, D&D allowed him to have fun writing about fantasy and science fiction. The love of fantasy comes from a mentor, a step father who hoards comics and books. The classics were covered at school and Iron Man was taken care of at home. Before his time at the Brook, he had won an award for writing in high school which, kick started his studies, and bought a few new cards too. Writing about games is a passion that has guided many a paper and hopefully, will have his name go down in history. A passion for teaching will allow him to share not only his love and content knowledge on various topics, but convey the power of words to help make the world a better place.

My goal is to promote an interactive and engaging tutoring experience to my students. My attempts to accomplish this are through visualization, analogies, and consistent questioning of course topics. Everyone learns material differently and every course that we engage in is different from the other. Thus it will be our goal to determine what works best for you individually and what weak spots need to be targetted for an eventual better understanding of the topicsMy educational background stems from Stony Brook University, where I obtained a bachelor's of science in biochemistry. My highest qualification for this position comes from the fact that I have spent a year as an undergraduate peer tutor for courses such as biochemistry I, molecular & cellular biology, and organ & cell physiology. I have also obtained level 1 certification by the college of reading & learning association. In addition, I have also had 3 years of experience as an undergraduate teaching assistant for biochemistry I, cellular & molecular biology, and introductory biology. Finally, I have also had 1.5 years of undergraduate research experience in structural biology, thus I am able to have a deeper understanding of the material that was taught to me in classes.Currently I am also working as a technical support agent for a biotech company, where solving scientific problems on research applications is something I do every day. I am also interested in one day becoming a physician and hope that this experience also helps reinforce the material that I have learned over the years. I am also very open to new perspectives, so please feel free to let me know your thoughts and opinions when we have sessions together!

I am a junior studying computer science at Stony Brook University. I enjoy teaching so I would love more opportunities to teach. I taught as an undergraduate teaching assistant for a computer science course before. I like to exercise and play video games for fun.

I have a AS degree in Mathematics and a BS degree in Biochemistry from Stony Brook University. I am an aspiring physician who recently took the MCAT. I have been a tutor for six years. I have tutored high school and college students in subjects including chemistry, physics, biology, and mathematics (from pre algebra to differential equations). I have also worked at Stony Brook University as a college biology lecturer. I like to use a hands on approach to tutoring rather than just lecturing, although I find it best to adapt my methods to the learning style of each individual student.I love to dance, especially ballet. I also love to learn new languages. Currently, I am continuing my studies of Spanish, and learning American Sign Language. I would like to become fluent in French and Mandarin Chinese in the future.I absolutely love teaching and would love to help out anyway I can!

I was born and raised in NYC but recently moved to Georgia. I am currently a Social worker licensed as a LMSW. I have a master's degree in social work from Stony Brook University and a bachelor's degree in Psychology from Plattsburgh State. I have worked in the Human Services/Behavioral Sciences field for 5 plus years. My current career background is in providing psychotherapy and working with teens/adults with severe and persistent mental illness. I love the work that I do because I believe that there is a need for authenticity, connection, understanding and support amongst mankind. Tutoring to me is a connection between student and teach. It is a bond created on a simple goal "achieving improvement and conquering struggles." I am passionate about tutoring for the social work licensing exam as I know hands what it feels like to experience the stressors of taking this test. I have also taught Reading to middle school aged children and find joy in helping my student develop their imaginations and achieve their goals.A Fun Fact about me: My guilty pleasure is a box of Italian rainbow cookies :)

I graduated from CUNY Hunter College with my Masters in English Literature in 2019, marking the end to a long period of intense study and travel. Since then, I have gone on to become an instructor and tutor for first-year undergraduates and older adult students at my local community college, where I have helped to coach students on ways to improve their writing and research strategies for their schoolwork and other projects. While my field of study focuses primarily on English Literature, I am eager to learn more about History, Philosophy, and the many areas of science.I try to maintain a relaxed environment while working with students, treating my one-on-one sessions like friendly conversations, which I find helps to put students at their ease even in the face of approaching deadlines. That being said, my sessions can be as in-depth as needed. While I am happy to advise on grammar and spelling, I will switch the focus to important content concerns if I see fundamental issues that need to be addressed. My goal is to help students stay on task, and to ensure that their arguments in writing are supported by strong details and the appropriate use of evidence.Teaching undergraduates has given me a unique perspective as I now approach my first year teaching as a certified teacher for high school English. I have seen for myself the importance of college readiness, and I have made it a professional goal of mine to better prepare students for the rigors of academic writing later in life.When I am not reading for research or for fun, I'm a shameless nerd, and I love to talk about my latest hyperfixation in the worlds of movies, TV, anime, or video games.

I am a senior at Stony Brook University majoring in Applied Mathematics and Statistics along with a Pre-Med Track. I have tutored people in the range of 13-23 years old. I have tutored Calculus for my school's learning center. I love working with people, as I believe it is a learning for me as well. I try to approach things from different angles in order to see what works best for students.

I first started tutoring others while in high school. I casually tutored some of my friends and peers who needed help in mutual classes, such as AP Calculus, AP Stats, and AP Physics. I became more involved with formal tutoring as a member of National Honor Society. I was active in tutoring both peers in my own age group, as well as those younger than me in subjects like Calculus and Physics. After I went to college, I went back to informally tutoring some of my friends in classes that we were taking together or that I had already taken. Some of these classes included general chemistry and some organic chemistry, as well as calculus and statics and dynamics in biological systems. At my university, I am getting back into formal tutoring by becoming a teaching assistant for a biology lab/lecture that I took in the past and did well in. I have always enjoyed trying to help others understand subjects that are more difficult to grasp. I believe I have a good understanding of effective teaching methods. I believe that the best ways to learn material are through practicing problems, through making sure each component of a problem is understood, and through methods such as mnemonic devices.I am currently an undergrad at Stony Brook University. I am a Biomedical Engineering major on a cellular and molecular track. When I am not in school and have free time, I enjoy fishing, playing and watching hockey, and catching up and spending time with friends.

I have four years of full-time classroom teaching experience, but many more as a tutor. I started tutoring when I was in the sixth grade, and I now work with students from grades six through college. I also teach SAT and ACT preparation courses. While my favorite subject to teach is Social Studies, my Math and English students have gone on to great success as well. I know that every student has a unique learning style and success is often a matter of finding the right motivation. When I'm not teaching, my favorite thing to do is read to my own children.

I received my degree in Business Management from Stony Brook University in 2013. I started tutoring friends and classmates throughout middle and high school, as well as student taught math classes after finishing the curriculum early and excelling on the Regents exams.I love tutoring in math and science, but also enjoy helping students understand context and better express their ideas in writing and history.I especially enjoy tutoring in math because it brings me great joy when a student masters a concept with which they were previously struggling.I also excel at helping students study and prepare for exams because I help them develop better study habits, as opposed to simply cramming to do well on a single exam.I have a passion to motivate students to achieve their full potential. More than raising test scores, I help each student gain more confidence in their own abilities and increase their proficiency in understanding with context, rather than simply memorizing facts or formulas. I adapt my teaching style to the particular needs of each student, with the objective of guiding students in becoming more capable overall, through practice in sharpening their strengths and overcoming their weaknesses.My hobbies include video games, snowboarding, singing/music, working out/exercise, and doing Tough Mudder! I love doing Tough Mudder because it is both individually challenging, as well as being very team-oriented. This allows me to personally challenge my own limits while also helping others to do the same!

I am a fully certified NYS Math Teacher who majored in Mathematics and then completed my Master's Degree in Education at Stony Brook. I have more than ten years of teaching experience with students at all levels of learning. I absolutely love to teach! I find it vital to form a bond with my students, to get to know them and really find out what they like, what they are good at, and what will help them to be successful. I have well practiced methods for helping students learn new material and re-learn old or difficult material. I also incorporate methods that help to greatly reduce anxiety and actually make math fun! When I am not teaching, I love spending time with my four year old, Julia, and my crazy dog, Albie. I love to be outdoors, hike, garden and read. I am also doing volunteer fundraising this year, so I am really excited about some of the projects that are coming up to help others get some of the important things that they need. I can't wait to work with your student!

My name is Rohan, and I recently graduated from Stony Brook University with a BS in psychology. I am starting medical school in the fall of 2017, and I hope I can use my current free time to help others achieve their academic goals. I want to be a tutor because I enjoy helping people learn. I have been a teaching assistant for two different biology classes during college, and those were hands-down my favorite experiences during my undergraduate time. Also, I truly believe that teaching others helps me learn the material at a higher level. As a future doctor, it is very important to be able to teach people things. You want to be able to express yourself to other students and patients and talk to them in a vernacular that they can understand. You want to create analogies and tell stories that are helpful; only then will people actually internalize the information and actually be able to apply it to different problems and in the real world. I promise to give my full time and effort to each of my students, and I cant wait to embark on a new journey with all of them.

I recently graduated Cum Laude from Stony Brook University with a degree in Applied Mathematics and Statistics. My work at Stony Brook primarily focused on statistics and data analysis. During my time at Stony Brook I worked as an undergraduate teaching assistant; it was during that work that I discovered that I not only had a passion, but a skill in helping others understand mathematics. I believe that math is a beautiful tool in everyday life, and I seek to help others understand why math is both important and useful in their lives. Many traditional mathematics courses focus on rigor, theory, and proofs, which does not help the student understand how they can apply those concepts to everyday life. I like to work with students to help them understand how the concepts they learn in the classroom can be applied to real world situations. The age-old question for a frustrated mathematics student is, "When am I ever going to use this in real life?" I seek to help people answer that question, and understand mathematical concepts wholly and intuitively; which I believe is the best way to foster a lifelong love of the numbers that make our world work.

Hi there! My goal with tutoring is help you create tools you can replicate when you're taking an exam, doing homework, or just without any guidance. My teaching style is patient, person-centered, and hands on learning. Can't wait to work with you!

I am an adjunct professor and freelance writer with a PhD in history. I write and teach a lot about women's studies, cultural history, and transnational studies with a particular emphasis on the Modern Middle East and US-Turk relations. As for teaching and outreach: Ive found that making the material pertinent and connecting it to who you are and where you want to be will make it come alive. Hence, in tutoring and teaching I enjoy teasing out the material into a story. That way we have something to entertain us as we build a timeline and craft a memory of the past, of peoples, and of communities.I'm also the author of numerous books, the most recent being Comics as History, Comics as Literature and book chapters, reference entries, book reviews, and journal articles. My busy publication career deals extensively on nationalism, womens rights, women's liberation, Turkish-US relations, transnational feminism, and travel literature. Most recently I completed two smaller pieces: Failing New Women: Anne Shirleys Legacy, The New Woman, and World War I and Importing the Ethnic: Voyeurism on Your Dinner Plate (concerning the permeation of American Chinese food). Both are due out in the ensuing year, and both were absolute fun to write. In teaching and writing I like to focus on how to engage and make the story come to life.I also publish travel literature and some fiction outside of academia and serve as co-chair of the European Association of American Studies Women's Steering Committee.This past summer I crafted travel writing while spelunking in the Iowas Women's Archives and the Oregon State University Archives, as my co-writer and I have been crafting a discursive examination of food safety, activism, and grassroots women's voices. This project Safety For Our Souls has received funding from several libraries. That being said . . . the fuel that makes this endless hard work worthwhile is engaging students and building skills in creative ways that make the mundane really feel less like work and more like an excursion into something entertaining.

I graduated from Stony Brook University in May 2014 with a B.S. Degree in Applied Mathematics and Statistics. I've had a great experience tutoring and assisting students in math. My teaching experience lies in math of any kind, ranging from Middle School Math to AB Calculus. My favorite subject to tutor would definitely be Statistics, since I have acted as a Teacher's Assistant for a statistics course and just feel very comfortable with that material. Additionally it's where my roots lie, and will always hold a little sentimental value to me. In such a position, I discovered my style of teaching, which is to teach by example; running through a problem, going over what we did in more detail, and then displaying alternate paths to reach the same answer. Outside of mathematics, I am very passionate about video games, playing a particular franchise or two on a high competitive level, and also stream tournaments on Long Island. Computer technology, creative thinking, and Soccer round up my main interest pool. I'm not the kind of character to get mad or grow impatient. I teach with a smile, and look forward to passing my knowledge onto other students!

I am a recent medical school graduate from Dow University. Using proven techniques to memorize and understand key concepts, I teach my students how to break down the most difficult questions. It can be an overwhelming task to memorize the massive amount of information expected of a student in an anatomy or physiology course. The key is not memorization, but pacing yourself, practice and placing key concepts at the beginning and end of each session. Having a basic understanding of how our brain memorizes and processes information is an essential prerequisite for all students. I have over 5 years of tutoring experience from medical school in subjects including Anatomy, Physiology, Pharmacology, Microbiology and many other health sciences courses.

I graduated Cum Laude with departmental honors from Stony Brook University, and with Merit from the Master of Letters program in Creative Writing from the University of Glasgow. In New York City, I still find that some are most impressed by my diploma from Stuyvesant High School.Recently, I tutored a few students for a SAT preparation program and came to enjoy it, especially in a smaller setting where the lessons can be catered to the individual needs of the student. For an English major, I'm very data driven, concerned with the most efficient ways for anyone taking tests to improve their score, as well as their opportunities for higher education. In my spare time, I enjoy writing, hiking, movies, cooking, politics, and literature.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics and Statistics from Stony Brook University, and I am currently pursuing my Masters degree in Operations Research at the same institution. While attending SBU, I tutored student athletes in a variety of math courses, ranging from Algebra, to Calculus. My favorite courses to tutor involve probability and statistics, because I love how many layers each question has, and how much you can learn from doing even the simplest problem! When tutoring, I strive to create a calm and relaxed environment that helps students work through problems by drawing conclusions from what they already know. I believe learning is a beautiful thing, and I do my best to help others improve their learning skills!Outside of school, I am a total health nut. I love learning about fitness, nutrition, and other health-related subjects. I am also an avid Ultimate Frisbee player and amateur musician.

What makes me a great tutor is patience. If someone if coming to me to learn, I can explain the concepts to them as long as needed without getting frustrated. I want my students to learn! I teach virtually all high school subjects and below and am even open to teaching college curriculum courses if they fit my expertise.

I'm a physics student at Stony Brook University with interests in mathematics, baroque music, and music theory.

I am currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies (MA/LS) with focus on Business and Marketing at Stony Brook University, NY, USA. Since 2008, I have been working as a Teaching Assistant and Substitute Teacher in private and public schools in NY USA.I have served for three years as the Head of the Business & Marketing Department in Bahria College, Islamabad, Pakistan. During my time as Head, I worked directly under the Principal to develop new curricula for A’ Levels and O’ Levels, interviewing new candidates, organizing college-wide events, organizing tours for new students and managing all associated paperwork and correspondence.Simultaneously, I had the privilege of teaching economics and business studies to the O’ & A’ Levels (the British System equivalent to Grade 9-12 & first two years of Undergraduate Studies).In that capacity, I strongly believe in a philosophy of lifelong learning to meet the challenges of global competence. Keeping this vision in mind, I have been able to remain sensitive to the needs of students for exploring comprehensive multi-disciplinary studies, preparation for work, academic and social competence and a sense of citizenship that incorporates the cultures of all students into instruction.These are some of the courses I have completed towards accomplishing my Master of Arts in Liberal Studies (MA/LS) that have widened my perspective and vision towards HR and its relation with the Business needs and Management: Ethics in Management, Organizational Change Management, Foundations of Human Resource Management, Survey of Labor/Employment Relations, HR Management Workshop, and The Uses and Abuses of Technology.

My teaching experiences have been defined by a commitment to engaging students in critical thinking, problem solving and a lasting desire for learning. Teaching is the ability to demonstrate a new skill to another person. Both the teacher and students grow in knowledge. Teaching can be joyful, enriching and challenging. Teaching gives me the opportunity to convey important information that can be used regularly or applied in the environment. As a teacher, I hope to build a strong foundation of learning in my students. My primary goal as an educator is to promote a learning environment for students. My role in the classroom or laboratory is to engage, assess and encourage students to participate actively in class, to listen and think critically, to challenge them to ask questions and to motivate growth in them. I focus on creating a classroom environment where all students are included, addressing different learning styles and ensuring all students have accessibility to become successful. I have gained some professional training in science communication class and scientist teaching science course to assist me in effective teaching of students. In addition, my approach to teaching in classroom is through active involvement of all the students. When I was an adjunct assistant professor at the city university in a general chemistry laboratory course, I observed that the students worked effectively when the experiments were being demonstrated before they began the experiments. During the demonstrations, I tried to make sure that each step was properly understood. Engaging the students during class by asking questions gave them the opportunity to participate actively. Students that are active learners learn more when compared to passive students, it is important to include every student in the classroom and laboratory. Also, I took some time to learn all the student's names to encourage full class participation, treating each student as an individual. I want the students to look forward to the next class with high expectations and passion to learn new material. I believe in visual representation, creating a model to make it easier for the student to learn. For example, when discussing Lewis structure (e.g. CH4), I created an actual ball-and-stick model of the methane molecule, so that the students can visually see that the shape of the molecule is tetrahedral and the C-H bonding. Also, encouraging group work in a class or laboratory setting improves leadership skills in the students. Students worked in groups for class assignments, providing them the opportunity to build on leadership and team working skills. I am dedicated to making sure my students are successful in the classroom, and they feel enthusiasm for the subject. In teaching, I hope to instill the passion of learning in my students by sharing my passion in the subject. In the future, I plan to build upon my teaching strategies and skills by attending workshops and taking advantage of chances to teach when possible. It is important to engage the students. Also, incorporating the Bloom's Taxonomy for writing objective, which will show how learning is demonstrated through knowledge, understanding, application, evaluation and synthesis. In addition to my teaching responsibilities, I have conducted workshops, seminars and brown-bag lunches to support development for students and my colleagues' covering topics in research and teaching areas. I can teach general, inorganic, analytical chemistry, environmental science and organic chemistry with their labs at both the undergraduate and graduate level. If an online course is suggested, I can create an online course for these courses. In 2015, majority of students are gearing towards online teaching (STS Class 2, page 7). As an online instructor, many students and professional are using online study. I plan to use online digital learning objectives to help the students understand, apply, analyze and evaluate the course material.

I am the first person in my family to be born in the United States. My entire family are immigrants and it was only recently that my last remaining family members came over from China. This meant that growing up I was the eldest of all the children in my family. Being an only child myself, I had a lot of responsibility to take care and help raise my cousins who are all younger. My interest and experience in tutoring comes from helping my cousins through school.My oldest cousin after me is three younger which means she was about to learn everything that I just had. When I a senior in high school, my cousins ranged from elementary school to freshman in high school. Going off to college led me to reflect on all the years I spent helping my cousins through school. Ever since middle school I would help them with math, writing, reading, and even on science projects. Moreover, I taught them about school itself how to learn, how to make friends, where to go for lunch, and so on.Watching them grow up made me understand what teaching and tutoring really means. Having the support from someone older who can also assist in academics builds confidence that students will carry throughout their academic careers. This is especially important at a young age. Even when I was at college my cousins would call from time to time about a problem they were having, school related or not. This is why my preference for being a tutor at Varsity Tutors is middle school and high school. I'd like to help students build their academic confidence while learning what they need to for school.
