Learning science and mathematics through real-world applications that show how concepts can actually be used to solve real problems.... I'd ask them about topics they feel uncomfortable with, as...

...from the University of Cincinnati. I plan on attending law school in the near future, but I have always enjoyed teaching. I started tutoring during my junior year of high school, finding that I had an aptitude for analogies that helped students learn the material. I tutor a large variety of subjects, including LSAT, SAT, and ACT. I also tutor various academic subjects, primarily in the fields of math and science. My favorite subject to...

...R&D center in Bellevue, WA. I received a competitive, full ride(tuition, room, and board) to Emory University where I studied Physics and Applied Mathematics. I also have extensive experience working in tutoring. One of my most enjoyable moments in undergrad was working as a Research Assistant at Semyung University in optimizing the instruction of curricula for incoming college freshmen. I believe in a problem based approach rather than a lecture based one. Most deficiencies in...

...graduated from University of Washington in Biology and Environmental Science. I specialized in Ornithology, the study of birds; I'm a big bird nerd. I've had experience tutoring biology, math, and environmental science for the Athletic Department at UW and serving as a Teacher Assistant for UW's Biology Department, including a biodiversity seminar to Peru. Just like the D1 student athletes I work with, academics sometimes don't come naturally, but I look forward to fixing that...

...to 40 and they come from many different backgrounds. I remember when I was a college student, I went through the same things that they are going through which makes it easier for me to work with them. With my experience and knowledge, I can help them succeed in their classes. While I tutor a very broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about sciences such as chemistry, biology, microbiology, and math. I really...

...of the talking. There's no better way of ensuring that a student understands the material than getting them to put it in their own words! Beyond my passion for learning and teaching I'm a huge sports fan who rarely misses an Ohio State football or basketball game. I also grew up a die-hard Cincinnati Reds fan, and I love engaging in discourse about every and any sport. I also play the saxophone and guitar, which...

...math. I love seeing my enthusiasm for learning reflected in others. I am excited by seeing students "get it." I have tutored elementary instrumental music, taught environmental science lessons, and mentored undergraduate research assistants. As a strong student throughout my formal education, I bring clarity and knowledge of academic subjects. I learned how to succeed in the system of papers, projects, quizzes, and standardized tests, and I look forward helping other students achieve academic success,...

...and the new material they're tackling. I've found that people tend to be much smarter than they think they are. Often all it takes is somebody to point out the similarity between that difficult subject you're struggling with and a concept that you already know and are strong in to click on that lightbulb of comprehension. My life's passion is to do just this: to make STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields more accessible...

...true sense of reward comes from teaching young students. Most of my students struggled and were often afraid to say what they thought because of the fear of being wrong. As a tutor and mentor, my role is to create a comfortable learning environment where students focus on how wrong answers help them to arrive at the right answer. I always told my students that I am open to all answers and that no one...

...a solid understanding of math can lead to a better understanding of subjects like physics and chemistry. I think that education is based on building habits rather than falling into a pattern of getting behind then cramming. A lot of education is sequential and taking shortcuts doesn't always work. As someone who just returned to Seattle, I enjoy exploring new aspects of the city. This brings me into a lot of coffee shops, parks and...

...and compassion; traits that I feel are fundamental for a good tutor. Education is a self-motivated endeavor - it not only improves ones quality of life, it literally rewires the way your brain views our world and the results are remarkable. And though I tutor several subjects, I believe Physics and Astronomy produce the greatest results. Therefore, they're my favorite. I currently work for an educational software company that creates virtual classrooms for students who...

...Missouri and received my Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering, with a Business minor. I have a wide range of tutoring experiences in many subjects, but my strengths lie in mathematics, science, and ACT test prep areas. Having struggled myself the first time I took standardized tests, I understand that even with a solid knowledge foundation tests like the ACT require a substantial amount of exam specific preparation. While my engineering background provides me the...

...comedies to excess. I love traveling and have set foot in over ten countries. I also love cooking and eating. Nothing brings joy into my life like a bowl of perfect hand-made noodles. Like 90% of people in the world, music is also big in my life. I love attending music concerts, which my slightly compromised hearing can attest to. Also, not to brag but I'm aslo pretty ace at air-guitar. I love hiking because...

...truly understand a new concept. Math, in particular, takes patience and practice, which is what I plan to impart and work on with students. Being from Alaska, I really enjoy the outdoors, especially hiking, camping, and kayaking. My friends and family, although spread out, are very important to me. I make a great effort to stay in touch with them as often as possible. At the moment I'm taking a break after a year or...

I recently graduated from the University of Washington's rigorous Mechanical Engineering program. I have over a year of professional tutoring experience.

Feel free to contact me and I would love to help you/your child improve their learning skills! Though I am an engineer professionally, I am doing tutoring because I enjoy it so much, so I would love to help you out in any way I...

...level. Currently, I work in cancer research while I apply to medical school. I truly believe my past tutoring experiences, my strong academic track record, and passion for teaching allow me to be an energetic and dynamic tutor. Outside of the classroom I am an avid dancer, having studied various forms of dance from jazz, ballet, to hip hop since I was 2 years old. I also enjoy volunteering in soup kitchens, visiting museums, and...

...teacher who's taught everything from 3 - 12th grade. I specialize in Math but I'm also very talented in the areas of science and language arts. My Dad was an engineer, and my Mom was an English teacher. They made sure I understood the world as well as possible. Please let me do the same for you! When I'm not molding minds, I like to explore the world. Traveling has been a passion of mine...

...call the "Nerd Trifecta" in high school: math team, knowledge bowl, and science olympiad. I've tutored since I was in middle school, and I love finding an explanation or analogy to help someone else really grasp a concept! I'm applying to grad school now, and in my spare time I love cooking and baking (it's vaguely scientific, right?). I rowed in high school and college, so I know all about the difficulties of balancing school...

...for the Economics department where I held office hours, one-on-one meetings and review sessions to meet with students and help them grasp the concepts. I also created helpful problem sets and visualizations. I worked for the university learning coop as a tutor where I was paired with students in middle level mathematics courses. In addition, I spent a few semesters volunteering with a local organization that works with middle to high school aged students as...
