...but any subject can be fun! My tutoring style is best described as a relaxed environment so that the student can learn at a pace that best fits their abilities. I love to work with students on an educational plan so that they can reach goals and mark their progress. I am a firm believer that all students can excel in and out of the classroom by setting healthy goals and working towards them. Outside...

...their increased understanding of Mathematics. After attaining my provisional certification in grades 9-12 Mathematics, I completed a teaching internship in a Missouri high school, teaching Algebra I and assisting with Geometry and Pre-Calculus classes. During that experience, not only did my instructional style reach my students, but their reactions also reached me, helping me learn how to better manage a classroom. My teachers provided me with a memorable, reasonable and sometimes downright amusing Mathematics experience....

...on the ACT, so those looking for a tutor in that area, I would love to assist in creating/coaching a study program so when test time comes, you are confident and prepared! Most importantly, I want students to know that with me, don't be afraid to make mistakes! Getting the answer wrong or even a bad grade is such a great tool for learning if you stay engaged and you know it does not define...

...curiosity both inside and outside the classroom. I love constantly learning about the world around me, and love bringing that love of learning to those around me. I've always been the "nerd" but also always the person you'd ask about current events, the EPA ruling, or which Harvard philosophy professor most recently published. I truly believe your brain works better when you're excited and confident; therefore I love tutoring to overcome any fears and anxiety...

...athletic department. Specifically with my Division I cross-country team, I noticed that membership in our program did not require a community service component. I believe it is important to serve other people as an organization, so I helped to reinitiate a tutoring program between our team and a local nearby elementary school. In this program, athletes from our team go to the school for an hour a week to offer help in reading or math....

...minor that was perfect for my interests and learning style. This education, combined with my experience as a teacher in Creighton's "Philosophy for Children" program, has helped me to understand that teaching, one-on-one or in a classroom setting, is something that I'm passionate about. I believe that dialogue between mentor and pupil, much in the style of Plato's works, is the most effective way of imparting knowledge. Despite how overbearing or intimidating that might sound,...

I am a graduating medical student who enjoys teaching students of all ages. I plan to teach students on a professorial level for my career, so tutoring is a natural part of my personality. I particularly like the sciences, and love sharing my enthusiasm for science with my students.

...from the Monterey Institute of International Studies in Monterey, CA. I love to travel, and have lived and worked in three countries outside the U.S. In Costa Rica, I worked with study abroad students in an Intensive Spanish Language program. In El Salvador, I taught in a K-9 school as a Peace Corps Volunteer. Most recently, I spent two years as an English Lecturer at the Institute of Language and Culture Studies, Royal University of...

...fashion, as I have through tutoring for Russian language and through my clinical teaching experiences, but more often through informal avenues, bending the ears of roommates, peers, and strangers alike with stories too unbelievable to be untrue. In so doing, I have found that seeing the passion for learning inspired in others is not only a deeply gratifying experience, but a meaningful one. Every time I see a friend or student laugh, recoil, or furrow...

...week. I can handle anything from elementary math to high school level science. I am strongest in the areas of English, essay writing, and ACT prep and prefer to tutor these subjects but I am willing and able to tackle other subjects as well. My favorite thing to do is to get students laughing while they learn so studying turns into more than an obligation. I have found through my experience that children will be...

...worked in my local synagogue as a Hebrew School teacher for 1st and 5th grade students, so I have had experience with all ages of children. Additionally, in college, I participate in a program called Each One Teach One. WashU has partnerships with St. Louis Public Schools and students to go schools once a week and tutor the kids as a way to give back to the community. I want to start as a teacher...

...to help others improve academic performance. I tutored small groups as well as one-on-one sessions. I reviewed what was covered in class and explained concepts that students did not understand. I also compiled practice problems for the students to ensure that they understood the concepts and could apply information critically. Once I finished high school, I attended Saint Louis University (SLU) and earned a degree in Biochemistry. I worked as an athletic tutor and helped...

...started when I began teaching piano lessons in high school. As a piano teacher, I discovered a passion for teaching and I learned how rewarding it is to encourage my students and to see them succeed. Here's a little about me: I am a Comparative Literature major with a minor in Jazz Studies at Washington University in St. Louis. When I am not reading, writing, or tutoring, I enjoy playing jazz piano, doing yoga, and...

...where I received a Masters degree in Immunology. Outside of the laboratory, I spent my time working again as a teacher's assistant this time for Histology, a first year course for medical students, and then privately tutoring Histology. To continue teaching, I now work as a Varsity Tutor and I love it. My goal in teaching is to make sure my students don't just pass their tests, but to really understand the topics so that they...

...Phonics to Grammar to Essay Construction. My classes were fairly small, which helped me develop my one-on-one teaching skills. Also, I learned to overcome many obstacles that occur in the teaching-learning relationship. I think it is imperative that a student feels comfortable with his or her tutor. While I expect hard work and determination from my students, I am still an easy-going individual who is not judgmental at all. I am fun and laid back,...

...someone able to speak and relate to me on a level I could understand, I'm unsure that I would have succeeded in any of my introductory science classes. I want to help students who have difficulty learning in a traditional lecture setting by creating problems, critical-thinking strategies, and hands-on learning experiences that are relevant to the student and the material at hand. While both science and math-based classes are my specialty, I also have a...

...returned to school to earn my MBA at The Ohio State University, with a major in Organizational Behavior and a minor in Finance.

I am currently entering my second year of the doctoral program in Organizational Behavior at Washington University in St. Louis, Olin School of Business. I have acted as a tutor and a mentor throughout my...

...and conceptual knowledge of the course material. It is important for me to find every individual student's learning habits and specific set of strengths and weaknesses to better mold my lessons and advice. I am a current applicant for the medical school class beginning in the fall of 2015, and I am also a life-long soccer player. After playing in college, I spent the summer of 2014 playing semi-professionally in Pittsburgh, PA before returning home...

...I had the opportunity to serve as a teaching assistant (TA) for a trusted advisor, and I've loved my teaching experience ever since! I've continued to TA every semester I've been enrolled in graduate school and, additionally, have experience running my own course, Introduction to Biobehavioral Statistics, at the undergraduate level. As a student myself, I have valued mentorship from teachers and professors and will typically seek out individuals whom I respect for their guidance...

...is also very important. Outside of school work I enjoy playing guitar, sailing (when I can actually find a sailboat small enough for me to handle, or just a sailboat in general), being outside, running, driving, cars, building gadgets (the light switch in my room runs on a homemade clapper), and many other things. Hopefully I'll get to know my students' interests as well so I can incorporate them into the subjects we are discussing....
