...chemistry, physiology, biochemistry (etc!) everyday as I continue to learn more and more about the human body and medicine. This also means I have recent experience with preparing, studying, and taking the MCAT. I am excited to meet you! I have lots of experience as a tutor of all ages and a variety of subjects, mostly sciences. All of my tutoring subjects listed on my profile are classes I took in college and did very...

I think the most important part of being a tutor, is remembering that you are teaching a person, rather than a lesson. Each individual learns in their own way!! A good tutor must learn to adapt and adjust, so that they may provide the most effective, individualized, and engaging learning experience to their student.

...for 6 months in Kerala, SW India. When our 4 daughters grew ready for college and grad school, we finally settled in Highland County OH and I spent 5 years at the community college teaching English Composition, Literature, Philosophy, and Political Science. I also volunteered with the Highlands Nature Sanctuary and became Caretaker and Education Coordinator on Whispering Springs Farm. Substitute teaching all around SW Ohio has rekindled my passion to help a diversity of...

...recently completed my first year teaching American and World histories. I found out quite early that my passion in life is teaching students and watching them become confident in subjects that they may have been struggling with before. My duty as a historian is to not only uncover the truth about the past, but to also show the importance of history overall. I have spent years tutoring in a variety of subjects and would love...

...math up through AP Calculus BC, French, and AP Literature. My experience in tutoring comes from the free weekly French tutoring program I initiated at my high school, which grew to me tutoring other subjects as well. My teaching philosophy involves discussion and helping the student come to an answer themselves, which allows the topic to stick. Because of this one of my favorite subjects to tutor is writing. Writing tutoring helps the student grow...

...interleaving of topics in my teaching. I find that students who realize how to learn become much more engaged in their material, regardless of what it is they are learning. My degree in classical studies has given me a command of language of which I am proud, and this, coupled with my training and work as an actor, has enabled me to communicate concepts to students with numerous, precise, and individualized explanations. Students are often...

...tutor from Chapman University, with a B.A. in English and a B.A. in Screenwriting. I spent a year helping students polish up their compositional skills at Chapman University's Writing Center, and would love to use the skills I learned to help others write better papers, prepare themselves for standardized testing, or develop a firmer grasp on the English language. Contact me with any questions you may have or if you would like to set up...

...I think of myself as a guide or coach, helping my students acquire relevant life skills, such as, learning how to learn, developing a desire to learn, and how to develop diverse ways to think and solve problems. I love science, and am enjoy helping others understand the world we live in. My education and work experience as a Research Scientist helps me to share relevant examples with students of how to solve problems and...

...hard to find enough hours to make a living wage, so I had a second job as a building manager. So, I decided to go back to school to earn my doctorate so that I can work full time in my field at a decent wage. Now I'm in the Ph.D. in philosophy program at the University of South Florida. I'm experiencing some success in the program: besides earning straight As, I was invited to...

...Level II certification from the Collegiate Reading and Learning Association (CLRA) while tutoring for OSU, which taught me the methods needed to effectively relay information to students. As a philosophy student I also utilize the Socratic method while tutoring, which focuses on asking students questions in order to get them to reach their answers. Throughout my experience tutoring I've found that engaging a student in dialogue about the question at hand is far more successful...

...my love of math and logic though, and Creighton offered a mathematical logic 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...

...is always more important than simply understanding the test. I teach specific testing strategies and tricks, but I ensure that at the heart of my tutoring is the academic material itself. A student who simply masters the strategies and tricks might do great on the SAT, but the student who understands the material will do great on the SAT and continue to do great in college. I have particular experience and expertise in tutoring math...

...like the LSAT, philosophy, and logic. I think these subjects are a unique challenge to teach because students only develop the necessary skill if they are able critically think through the problems at hand. I thus do my best to guide my students thinking processes, rather than tell them the answers. I spend most of my free time playing and listening to music. I love most genres, but am particularly keen on the blues.

...experienced is giving someone the ability to reason, and the drive and ability to begin teaching themselves. I enjoy teaching certain topics because of their power to bring this about, including languages, mathematics, and (of course) philosophy. All of these areas stretch from an elementary to an advanced level, and I consider it of cardinal importance to equally value the successful communication both of elementary topics, such as algebra 1 or German word order, and...

...72-page work in the History of Science. I was also a committed Teaching Assistant (TA), going so far as to get special permission to TA Logic as an undergraduate due to my passion for teaching the subject, and participating in cross-departmental Physics-Education studies during my two semesters as a Physics TA. I have always gone above and beyond in my teaching efforts, making sure that the learners not only understand the material, but come away...

...It is most exciting for me to tutor German and writing because I am incredibly passionate about the German language and culture, and from my perspective bettering one's writing is also a process in bettering one's thinking. I find it rewarding to help students overcome many of the same challenges and hurtles that I and my peers overcame. Tutoring is a way for me to repay a debt I feel I owe to my own...

I am a recent graduate of St. Olaf College, where I received a B.A. (magna cum laude) in Philosophy with a concentration in Film Studies. I plan on pursuing a MA in Philosophy from The New School for Social Research. I am highly dedicated and detail oriented in both academic and professional pursuits.

...of experience tutoring and teaching languages, writing, testing strategies, and other various subjects for students from elementary through college. Additionally, I am well-versed in university admissions for both graduate and undergraduate programs, and I can offer consulting on how to develop applications. I believe in making learning relatable and fun; rather than lecture my students, I design engaging and entertaining lessons, exercises, and even games for them. Understanding of material comes from active participation.

...Assistant and graduate instructor for college-level rhetoric and composition classes, as well as university-level senior thesis and literature seminars. I also work with everyone from ESL students to students with multiple languages to elementary-aged students just learning to read and write for the first time. And although it may sound silly, I get really excited about reading, writing, researching, and editing, and even more so, I look forward to working with students! I'm available to...
