...in a variety of subjects, and have especially enjoyed helping students to master those subjects. In high school I tutored extensively in Math and English, and in high school and college I honed my teaching abilities further by serving as a musical director for various musical theater productions and singing ensembles. Additionally, I invested substantial amounts of time preparing for the SAT and many AP exams: I know the tests well and am excited to...

...all the way up to college students. Currently I am a sophomore at Cornell University studying neuroscience as my major and math as my minor. Even at college I have continued tutoring. I am on the E-board for our tutoring club. I also lead a study section for college students currently taking Comparative Physiology. For Varsity Tutors I tutor in the following subjects: biology, psychology, algebra, geometry, calculus, Latin, statistics, test prep, essay editing, writing,...

Explaining difficult math and science concepts in plain English is my forte. I...

...I am currently working on my PhD in American Literature. I tutor a mix of test preparation, English, Literature, and Writing. In helping students with reading and writing skills, I enjoy using multiple different approaches to develop a well-rounded understanding of the techniques, while making the sessions fun. I'm a strong proponent of keeping studying dynamic. It is important to me that my students come away from our sessions with not only the scores or...

...see students get excited about their tangible score gains that come as a result of hard work. I aim to adapt my approaches to each student, but this always includes assessing strengths and weakness, teaching and reteaching content, creating a strong sense of test format and timing familiarity, and sharing tips, strategies, and short cuts. By combining these efforts with hard work, each of my students can walk into their tests with confidence that has...

...and tutor people of all ages, because I believe wholeheartedly that "education is the key to solving most of the world's problems."

In college when I was studying abroad in Chile, I loved South America so much, I decided to change my major from Nursing to Spanish/Latin American Studies....

...engaging with students and I like figuring out how to tailor the tutoring experience to best fit their learning style. I am currently an English major, and I love writing (and editing!). I eventually intend to get my master's degree in education. In high school, I took four years of Latin and it was one of my favorite subjects! Outside of school, I enjoy reading and photography, and I work as a swim instructor!

...teaching. I returned to teaching and have spent the last 23 years teaching Latin on the secondary level. I can't imagine that any other career would provide as much passion and satisfaction. I have learned that the brightest and most capable students sometimes come across a concept that they cannot master. This is where an extra help session with a teacher or a tutor becomes necessary. When a person feels sick, s/he sees a doctor....

My current project is focused on developing immunotherapies to treat early stage tumors. Both in the classroom and in lab, I have always been more than willing to help others with their assignments or troubleshooting an equipment problem. On top of my scientific pursuits, I have immersed myself...

...Although I tutor a wide range of subjects, I am most passionate about Calculus, Statistics, and Chinese. Based on my learning and tutoring experience, I believe it is critical to learn and understand all of the concepts of the subject, practice and master the knowledge, and then apply it to real world situations. Organization in the teaching and learning of the subject plays an important role. I hope that students result in mastering and appreciating...

I would also enjoy working with you on persuasive essays and research papers, Latin I-III, English...

Please let me know if you would like any additional information!... My teaching philosophy is student oriented. First, I assess the...

Over the past five years, I have acquired essential skills and experiences while teaching in secondary schools as well as at the college level, so I know how...

During my high school career, I volunteered at a preschool and tutored Honors Physics for my school's National Honors Society. At Rensselaer, I recently joined a club called the Science Ambassadors that encourages interest in STEM fields by traveling to local schools and giving interactive presentations to middle and high school students. I am excited to share my passion for learning...
