...and context, and having that will distinguish my students over their peers. Tailoring the material to the student will be an important way for him or her to, not only, understand and retain the information, but also to apply it. There are many educational tools that are either not used in classrooms or are not suitable for groups, finding the right tool for the student will be central to my approach. My background is interdisciplinary...

...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 learn as well as the best method for producing long-term recall; it also tailors every learning experience to the individual student. I was most inspired to pursue this Socratic style of teaching after taking several courses in college from...

...courses. I learned during my time as both a TA and a supplemental instructor in these courses that helping people learn about their potential in a constructive and encouraging environment is something that I really appreciate. As a high school student, I was tutored for almost all four years and I realized the effect that 1-on-1 time has on a student who is either struggling or just needs some focused study time. While this is...

My long term plan after graduation is to enter grad school, get a PhD in math, and eventually become a math professor, researching and...

...of visuals, because I think that they tend to be more easily retained than just words. I also like to use a lot of examples, so that students understand the real world applications of different concepts, and they can not only do well on exams, but can also use that knowledge in the future. Aside from tutoring and academics, I love to do any sort of outdoor activity. I really love playing soccer, hiking, and...

...to Dental schools as well as a Master's program. I have always enjoyed working with kids as well as teaching/coaching, so tutoring offers the perfect opportunity to do something I really enjoy. As a student, my favorite subjects were Math, Science, and Art. Of the three subjects, Math is my strongest and also my favorite subject to teach, followed by Sciences (especially Chemistry). Working with kids and teens has taught me the importance of patience...

In addition to working on material, we can establish a schedule for your upcoming work.

After graduating with a degree in philosophy, my conscience left me with no choice but to find a job doing something meaningful. Like Aristotle, I think the ability to think for yourself is essential to living a happy life. Like Socrates, I think inquiry is essential to cultivating this ability. I love people and I love conversation. To engage personally while exchanging and inspiring ideas is, for me, one of life's greatest pleasures.... I strive to...

...interested in. I have taught college-level math and high school-level Chemistry, Physics, and Pre-Calculus for 13 years. I have tutored students in upper level math and science formally for 8-9 years (and informally). While my talents and interests are in the Science and Math arenas, I also enjoy cooking and reading novels. My strongest belief as a tutor is that learning should be fun while being effective.

...at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in a flow cytometry lab, which specializes in research for malaria vaccine development. After my research internship ended, I began attending the University of Maryland, College Park as a post-baccalaureate student seeking a second degree in General Biology (B.S.), which I obtained in August 2016. My extensive educational background and previous research experiences at WRAIR and Johns Hopkins gave me the opportunity to learn how to communicate complex...

I've been tutoring math and science for the last ten years. I really like this job because I enjoy working with kids, and I also love to talk about my interests. This is a great job. My hours are flexible, and I can re-arrange times to fit your needs (for example, if there's a test on Tuesday, I could come on Monday instead of the scheduled time). I can also tutor both SAT and GRE.

...or an engineering student who needs to prepare for further courses in the future, I am prepared to help students with their goals. Furthermore, I always review the basics that form the foundation of a math topic as just a little explanation of a previous topic will engage students with the problem at hand. My primary interests outside of mathematics are globetrotting and movies. I love meeting new people and seeing new sights. I usually...

...While I always enjoyed tutoring undergraduate students, I found great satisfaction in teaching Math to struggling teenagers. From my experiences, I learned that anyone can tackle basic mathematical ideas if they are given proper patience and instruction. Furthermore, I have learned that every student has a unique style of learning. My tutoring philosophy embodies this notion and I strive to tailor my lessons to fit each student's academic strengths. Having been successful in my academic...

...to say, I needed to find a balance between work and play! In college, I continue to be involved with music as a member of Doox of Yale, a TTBB a cappella group, where I served as Music Director my sophomore year. I have served as a Communication and Consent Educator, working with various programs to promote a positive sexual climate on campus, and am currently a First-Year Counselor. Next year, I will join the...

...tutoring is that students sometimes fear a subject because of rumored difficulty. I gain nothing but pleasure in helping students dismantle their fear and in it's place blossom passion. The only thing I love as much as physics is being able to teach it to others, spreading the inherent beauty of the subject as far and wide as possible. With physics comes mathematics, a beautiful quantitative language. My favorite type of math is Numerical Analysis,...

I am very excited to join Varsity Tutors to help you succeed in your educational...

...Outside of academics, I love to volunteer with my family, play PlayStation with friends, and have game nights. These activities help to keep me balanced and provide easy outlets during the semester. I truly believe that teaching students is more about understanding and analysis instead of memorizing formulas. This is reflected in my ‘partner-teaching’ style in the sense that I re-learn with the student in order to isolate areas of improvement, make the student more...
