...to help students become independent, comfortable, and confident in the fields they are studying. I love helping people get to the "aha" moment when they really understand what's being taught. In my experience, one of the most important parts of tutoring is setting clear expectations at the beginning and working toward a common goal. Given the right goals and assistance, I truly believe that anyone can master any of the subjects I teach.

...am invested in each of my students' success and work hard to help them succeed. Consequently, each of my past tutoring clients has seen significant improvement. I am a big believer in catering to students' learning styles. I pay attention to whether they are an audio, visual, or kinesthetic learner, and then I tutor accordingly. I am currently a junior at Brigham Young University. I am an Applied & Computational Mathematics major with a concentration...

I am currently finishing a degree in electrical engineering at the University of Utah. I have had the opportunity to help friends and family with material in math and science fields. This gives me a knowledge of teaching at various levels and technical background. ... A teacher should help a student breakdown a topic they are struggling with into smaller ideas. This makes it easy to present these small ideas in a way that will help...

...or two letter grades. Along with improving grades, it is important to me that students discover their personal learning style and gain confidence in the learning process. My teaching style is both personal and goal-oriented. In the first time meeting a student I like to briefly introduce myself. I like to hear a little about the student as well. I then take time to hear the student's attitude towards their class, their own perceived strengths...

...in geological science (geophysics) from University of Colorado Boulder with a minor in mathematics. Part of my success in college came from the preparation I had from taking AP Calculus and Physics courses in high school. I'm a huge fan of visual aids and examining real-life examples and applications when teaching. I worked as a learning assistant in an astronomy lab course and as a tutor for student athletes in geology while attending CU. I've...

...I feel that it is easy for students to miss certain tidbits or whole subjects in the classroom, and it can quickly feel like it is too late to catch up. My goal is to work together to pick up the pieces that were lost or are close, but not quite there: learning the way you want to learn and the way you learn best rather than having topics taught at you. For standardized testing:...

My name is Ben. I struggled as middle school student mostly because I had a hard time focusing. I became an educator to help kids like me learn about the amazing world we live in.

I tutor many subjects, but am especially proficient in the areas of test preparation, math, and Spanish. I took several...

...school students, but am excited to help anyone trying to learn. My favorite part of tutoring is watching students begin our lessons confused about things in their class and slowly grasp the concepts more firmly, and by the end feel confident implementing the concepts on their own. Although my experience is in math, I have a Bachelor's of Science in Neuroscience from Brigham Young University. I am currently applying to medical school and hope to...

...an MBA down the road. Over the past couple of semesters I have gone from helping students with homework to an official volunteer tutor through our campus's tutoring program called YServe. I volunteered there for the past semester before deciding to do it as a job. I tutor Introductory Business and Economics classes as well as SAT/ACT prep. I especially enjoy tutoring Economics because I enjoy the subject and a lot of times students just...

...University studying business, so I know how hard it can be to learn about a subject that is difficult, or from a teacher who does not connect well with their students. That is why I strive to teach my students by the principal I learned from Alfred Mercier "What we learn with pleasure we never forget". I learned this first hand as I lived in South America for two years. It was a lot easier...

...would be mere obstacles to my grade. As I got into progressively harder subjects, especially when entering high school, I had to change in mindset of what it even means to BE a student. Standardized tests, subjects that I just didn't get, and all these other educational obligations had me perplexed. I was lucky enough to acquire a great tutor of my own who helped navigate through my studies. Test-taking strategies and deeper comprehension of...

...The task is to find the way by which the student can learn and more fully understand the topic at hand. As a missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, I had the opportunity to manage my mission's finances as well as teach English native Spanish speakers in Colombia. I also have volunteered in high school as a substitute teacher for my AP Economics teacher whenever he was absent or need me...

...two dogs (Sawyer and Joey) and a cat (Kit). My college experience started out taking concurrent enrollment classes while in high school. After I graduated high school, I taught in Zhongshan, China for four months. Then I returned home and finished my A.S.

I love to teach a wide variety of subjects, but my greatest strengths are Chemistry, Math, and Spanish. I firmly believe that the success of our nation is...

...at a variety of levels. I have found that when students can make connections to real world topics they are much more likely to understand the content in chemistry and physics. I honestly believe that students need a variety of ways to internalize information. For the chemistry course I taught to ESL students, I made podcasts for them with each of the objectives I needed for them to acquire and encouraged them to view these...
