...years of teaching Kenpo Karate, several years of swimming instruction for noncompetitive swimmers and triathletes, and four years training college and graduate students at annual disaster response training exercises for the Consortium for Humanitarian Service and Education. I apparently aspire to have a resume similar to The-Most-Interesting-Man-In-The-World's. As a teacher, I try to "guide learning" rather than just reciting facts or "teaching at" a student. I believe that discovery is the most exciting way to...

...also worked as a camp counselor, so I know how to treat students with the respect that they deserve, while also ensuring that they understand the material before them. In the long-term, I would like to work in the US government and help create foreign policy. For now, though, I'm interested in learning more about the foreign policy and national security challenges that face the United States today and how these issues might intertwine with...

...my senior year. It was rewarding to watch the students grasp new concepts, test new teaching strategies, and see the results. After graduation, I joined the US Peace Corps where I provided community health education at a village health center. Instructing village health staff in community education techniques allowed me to refine my own abilities to transmit information. Working with a language barrier, I learned how to break down complex ideas into more concrete and...

...undegraduate math major and CS minor at University of Maryland, College Park. I tutor math at all levels and mostly focus on math, but can also cover theoretical CS, programming in Java & C, and basic physics. I've tutored students in high school through the math honor society, and continued tutoring in college through the Office of Multi-Ethnic Student Education. My long term plan after graduation is to enter grad school, get a PhD in...

...of St. John's College and Georgetown Law. Teaching is in my blood-my mother is a teacher, and she instilled in me the love of helping someone reach his or her potential with compassion and enthusiasm. I have been tutoring since middle school and I don't ever plan on stopping! My favorite subject to tutor is the LSAT, but I also LOVE English, US History, and World History. During my free time, I enjoy reading voraciously,...

...Verbal and Writing prep. My favorite subject to tutor is writing and composition skills- I love helping students of all levels find their voice. Reading critically and writing clearly are two of the most important skills students can learn, and I firmly believe every student can excel in these areas. My personal teaching philosophy is that learning should be fun. I will work hard to connect students' tutoring needs with their personal interests, whether it's...

...leader but rather a means for adopting the norms of the organization. In a posting by Wagner (2012), "Individuals must possess the ability to empower, and influence all team members; especially senior executives" (para 1). In the vein of servant leadership, it is important to listen to others, however the servant leader, unlike any other, must know the time for the discussion to end. In my desire to serve, I serve my students, my colleagues,...

...Society. I have been tutoring for six years, predominately working with high school students, and have completed over 300 hours of volunteer tutoring. I am very passionate about learning (some may say that I am a nerd!) and strongly believe in learning because one genuinely desires to become knowledgable in the subject, rather than studying to master an exam. It is my utmost desire to watch my students grow and excel. In my free time,...

...graduates and working professionals in schools located in low-income areas. I moved to Phoenix upon graduation to teach elementary school in a public charter school. Since that time, I have taught fifth grade Math and History, middle school History, and second grade. In May 2013, I graduated from the Mary Lou Fulton College at ASU with a Master of Education in Elementary Education. I enjoy working with students on Math, Reading, and History. Every students...

...of Southern California where I earned my Bachelor of Arts in International Relations. During my undergraduate career, I tutored students for the LSAT, and I taught high school students in History, Political Science, and International Relations. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about the LSAT, ACT, US History, European History, and Writing. I very much enjoy teaching LSAT test preparation. It is a challenging obstacle for many students. However,...

...my bachelor's degree in International Relations from the George Washington University, so I'm comfortable teaching humanities and social sciences as well as math and science. Teaching is the most rewarding job I've ever had. I love working with students to find what motivates them, and helping to achieve their goals. I particularly love teaching social sciences and writing. It's so great to see a light go on when you connect a concept in economics to...

...at Georgetown University, working to receive my Bachelor of Sciences in Foreign Service with a focus on culture and politics. I am minoring in Art History. Throughout college and in high school, I have tutored children within the United States and globally, usually ages elementary school to high school. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Spanish, test prep, Writing, and History. In my experience helping struggling students...

...visual, auditory, verbal, sequential, kinesthetic, repetitive, or combination learners. Next, we have exposure, where the learning material is presented in a way the student will understand best in accordance with his or her previously identified learning style. Afterwards comes application, where the student is given targeted exercises and real-life context to better comprehend and work with the material. Finally we have analysis (where together we analyze the information and its meaning), synthesis (where the student...

I am an extremely passionate learner, and I strive to share my infectiously positive attitude towards learning with all of my students. I have an undergraduate degree in physics from Dartmouth College, and a graduate degree in law from Harvard Law School.

...especially while we are first coming to grips with the material, but utilizing the resources provided to us will help us see the whole picture. I will help my students see the resources available to them and demonstrate how to utilize them for both practice and reference. I think that tutoring help shouldn't just be when I am on the clock; if my student is ever stuck on a problem, I will make myself available...

Hi! I'm Eileen and I'm excited to teach you any subjects you might be looking for any extra tutoring in :)

I am extremely passionate about ensuring that my students not only achieve their academic goals, but that they also have a proper understanding of the material being taught.

...I also tutor online, where I tutor all levels of reading and writing, from elementary through college. I am most passionate about mentoring writing. I love to tutor and instruct students in all types of writing. I have much experience with the five paragraph essay, the admissions essay, and with the research paper. I can help instruct and support students with the MLA and APA specialized formats for papers. I also have mentored students to...

...students learn how to judge their WORK instead of judging themselves. I believe education is more than the information we accumulate in our heads; it is the habits we develop as we revise our outputs and the skills we build to keep learning. In my spare time, I enjoy reading that which enriches my life, yoga, skydiving, and work as a performance coach for Junior Olympic Field Hockey players in The US and Portugal.

...and why everything is connected, it all starts to make sense and the material becomes a lot more palatable. One thing I learned from tutoring government (and one of my favorite parts of tutoring as a whole) is how incredibly satisfying it is when someone is finally comfortable and confident with a topic they've been struggling with. Classes can be fast-paced and unforgiving, and often if you don't understand something, there isn't time to circle...
