...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 also think that light, informal settings are the best for tutoring. In my free time I enjoy reading, riding my bike,...

...Since my graduation I have taught high school mathematics in both the public and private school environments, as well as continuing to tutor in my spare time. In the past, I have worked with students in a variety of subjects, most focusing on mathematics (pre-Algebra through Calculus and Statistics) and standardized test preparation. In my role as a tutor, my goal is two-fold: to review and reinforce previously taught material, and to prepare my students...

...working individually with students, and I'm looking forward to continuing to help students learn and grow. I am most passionate about English and reading; however, I am willing and able to tutor in math and science. I am a firm believer in education of the whole child.

...of Mental Health, which is a department of the University of Missouri in St. Louis (this is also the same university I went to for my undergraduate studies). During my time at this job, I greatly expanded my knowledge of statistical analysis and computer programming. I consider myself a "power user" of the R programming language, as well as Server Query Language (SQL), which was necessary for my job given that I was working with...

...basic sciences and can provide a solid foundation in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. I believe strongly in a holistic approach to teaching because in my experience students are far more willing to learn when seemingly arcane subjects can be tied into their day to day life and their relevance concretely demonstrated. I delight in finding and applying these connections, and I look forward to teaching others to find them as well. In my free time...

...of required logical deduction really challenges thinking to new heights. Data sufficiency in the quantitative section provides a unique twist in solving math, and I always feel happy whenever I help someone understand an easier way to solve questions. My teaching philosophy is that there is no student who cannot improve: every individual has a preferred method for arriving at an answer, and it's up to the tutor to guide them towards optimal performance. Although...

Over the past few years, I've had to write papers, crunch numbers, and study for everything from the ACT to the LSAT. Now, I've got a Masters degree and am on my way to law school. I have experience working with everyone from kids to grad students and want to help people find the learning style that works best for them.

I graduated with my Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences from Rice University and I am currently a first-year medical student at the Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis. I am very passionate about learning and love discovering new facts/ information. This also extends to watching students grow and become experts at subjects they initially struggled with.

...students brainstorm or polish their writing to impress colleges with their admissions essays. I believe no two students are alike, and I am familiar with many different learning styles. Learning is a pursuit of life-long discovery, so I encourage students to ask questions and to remember not to give up! I also did well on the ACT, so those looking for a tutor in that area, I would love to assist in creating/coaching a study...

...all take part. I find that it's much easier to become excited about a performance when one is a player in the drama itself, and not merely an audience member. Never content to keep such delightful entertainment to myself, I have sought to share as much as I have learned; occasionally in a formal fashion, as I have through tutoring for Russian language and through my clinical teaching experiences, but more often through informal avenues,...

...a great teacher, you must be willing to be a great learner. All the great teachers that I have met were flexible, kind, and learners themselves. I try to bring these qualities to every class I teach. As a teacher for almost 13 years, I also believe it is important to adapt and change what you teach based off of your student's strengths and learning styles. Making each teaching experience unique to the person you...

You must "think like the test writers" and be prepared for every twist and turn they will throw your way. My schedule is very flexible, and I will work hard with you to meet your goals. Also, you must be committed to working outside of the tutoring...

In college, I worked as a teaching assistant for Beginning to Intermediate Statistics where I helped students with mathematics as well as programming in R. I also worked as an Observatory Assistant where I taught astronomy students about the science and cultural history of the observable universe. Thank you for looking at my profile and I wish you luck...

...subjects such as aerodynamics, dynamics, and scientific programming. I believe there is somewhat of a disconnect between how math is taught in the American secondary educational system and the post secondary system. Coming from an engineering perspective, I try to bring in the practical application of any of the math I tutor and how it is used to solve real world problems. Outside of work I enjoy playing sand volleyball, kajukembo, following European football, and...

I've taught high school mathematics for the last 8 years. I've been tutoring for the last 15 years. I've tutored students of all ages in phonics, mathematics, and even adults studying for their GED. I love to teach and break things down so that students can understand....

I strive to tailor my lessons to each student's specific learning style so that we can figure out new ways to approach difficult skills.

...and I, for some odd reason, loved studying for the LSAT. In fact, I loved it so much that I'd like to help you study as well! I received a 170 on my first try at the LSAT, putting me in the top 97% of test takers. If you work with me, I will help you understand those pesky logic games, grasp the analytical reasoning, and cut out the unnecessary in the critical reading portion....
