...sections as well as the calculus AP tests which I have a great amount of experience in scoring a 5 on both calculus AB and calculus BC. I tutor anyone from a pre algebra level up through calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations. I am also currently tutoring Physics as I have a great amount of experience with it in high school and in college. I tutor for the AP physics test and high school...

Teaching is one of my favorite activities. I have spend several hours developing tools and methods that help the students understand the material.

...route! I have tutored both formally during high school and informally during my college years. I am comfortable teaching all ages and those who are eager to learn. I love tutoring in a more conversational matter and talking through problems rather than lecture and repeat. Each student has a different way they like to learn, so I adapt those ways and use it to the student's advantage. I love having the student be able to...

...then in college. The cumulative nature of math poses challenges to many students, and I like to find ways to connect the dots to help my students have a better grasp of difficult concepts. While I have tutored a variety of subjects, such as math, economics, chemistry, finance, and linguistics, I now focus on tutoring math, primarily, since it is my passion. I have a very flexible tutoring style, and my approach strongly depends on...

...class, and I have designed my own curriculum. This gives me a lot of opportunities to try out new and exciting ways to present information. Many of my students are non-traditional learners, whether they have learning differences, anxiety, ADHD, and/or are just outside-the-box thinkers. I have worked with math learners from elementary to high school in all areas of mathematics. My goal in life is to get previously frustrated or unhappy students to understand math...

...a variety of subjects since! I specialize in mathematics and science tutoring as well as standardized exam preparation. In the past, I have helped students achieve significant improvements and success on the SAT, SHSAT, Regents and other exams! I truly believe education is a mutual learning and teaching opportunity and enjoy helping my students achieve a thorough understanding (those "Aha!" moments) and appreciation of whatever they choose to study! In the future, I seek to...

...this time I have greatly enjoyed helping many students increase their understanding of physics. I love seeing my students have a "light-bulb" moment where suddenly everything we discussed makes sense to them. I think it is extremely important for everyone to have (at least) a basic understanding of math and science as this helps us to better understand our world. I am greatly motivated to teach in a way that my students understand the fundamental...

I am a recent graduate of Brandeis University where I double majored in Neuroscience and Health Policy. I am a veteran of the Montgomery County Public School system. I graduated from the International Baccalaureate Program at Richard Montgomery, and was an AP Scholar with distinction. I love working with people to help promote understanding, especially in the areas of math and science.... Teaching style should strongly depend on the student, else you risk either wasting time...

...economics classes where I tutored students in groups and one on one in both mathematic and theoretical concepts. I also have experience teaching musical lessons such as jazz bass, piano, and music theory to younger students. Experience in these different teaching environments has helped me cultivate a teaching style that identifies how to teach each individual student based on their learning style and personality. While working with students on topics from math to music theory...

...college. I taught high school math for five years in Baltimore City and DC: Algebra I, Algebra II and Geometry. As a teacher, I used relationship building, well planned lessons with clearly aligned and scaffolded practice and data-driven instruction to lead my students to impressive growth. While teaching at Thurgood Marshall Academy PCHS in DC, I integrated project based learning and blended learning through instructional technology such as IXl and Braingenie to remediate skill gaps...

...I have nine years of tutoring experience, tutoring students from elementary age to graduate level, as well as working with students with special needs. I particularly enjoy tutoring mathematics, biology, and helping students prepare for standardized tests. I can also tutor in writing and reading, since I have experience as a professional copy editor. My focus when tutoring is student understanding. I believe academic goals are more readily achievable when concepts are understood, rather than...

...everybody's eyes to this deep and wonderful truth. Math is something to be enjoyed. I believe that while knowing the formulas and procedures is important, memorizing mathematical formulas without appreciating the concepts is akin to memorizing the lines of a Shakespeare play without paying attention to the underlying prose. My strongest subjects are linear algebra and pre-calculus though I am proficient at tutoring all high school and college underclassmen mathematical subjects. I hope that my...

...how to explain somethinghe just gets it right away. He's never sat down and broken it down. I never was that guy and I will never be that guy. I will always be that guy that stays after class to asks questions because I didn't get it right away. I will always be that guy that is in office hours from start to end until I get it right. My whole life I have always...

I am an Applied & Computational Mathematics major with a concentration in Electrical and Computer Engineering: Circuits. I have earned the high in many...

Providing guidance in science and mathematics to help students understand the real-world applications of scientific and mathematical concepts in their everyday lives. I have a B.S.E. in Aerospace Engineering and a B.S. in Sustainable Energy Materials and Technology, and I am pursuing my M.S. in Aerospace Engineering.... 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...

...where understanding the theory is often the key to being able to see a problem and find the right path to a solution. I also try to apply this method to test preparation, so that students aren't just following a test-taking strategy because they were told to, they are using that strategy because they were encouraged to discover it for themselves and they understand why it works. Ultimately, I enjoy teaching because both the student...

...skills and am good at explaining as well as doing math problems which in my opinion is somewhat of a rarity among science and math teachers. Throughout my youth I coached a swim team and have always gained an immense satisfaction from helping others. Tutoring is a win-win situation for both parties. The student becomes fluent and develops interest in a subject they have struggled with in the past and I gain from helping them...

...Olaf College, with a Bachelor of Arts in Physics and Mathematics. Following my passion of teaching and working with students, I also studied to become licensed to teach math and physics. I have spent time working with students in St. Paul who are struggling to meet grade level standards, students who need an extra boost for an AP test, and I spent an entire semester at a school in India working with students in math,...

...be related to math (Algebra 1-4, Pre-Algebra, Trigonometry, and Calculus), as well as AP Chemistry. I helped other students starting my sophomore year and continued to provide afterschool sessions until I left high school. During my time in college, I have also tutored peers in mathematics (typically Calculus 1-3) as well as general and organic chemistry. My experience in both high school and college includes formal and informal tutoring. Much of the aforementioned experience pertains...
