...socioeconomic status for the past three years. These lessons have been for students of all ages ranging from elementary school to college. In high school I also excelled on the SAT (2220) and a plethora of AP tests (4s and 5s across the board), and so would be happy to aid with any test prep you may need. I am a very amicable person, and truly think that I could have a successful tutoring relationship...

...faulty. Over time, however, I developed a keener sense for the hurdles that students sometimes face when learning, as well as the most efficient ways to overcome them. I also developed more patience and empathy through tutoring - I often remembered feeling the same confusion about a topic that my students were feeling the first time I had learned the material. The skills and perspective I developed through this tutoring experience have certainly made me...

...a Sophomore At the University of Southern California. I am pursuing a degree in economics, with a minor in physics. During my short time so far, I've been involved in organizations such the SC escape room club, where we build escape rooms, and even tried to start a clothing brand with some friends. I am most passionate about math and science courses when it comes to teaching, and have the most fun with calculus.

...tutoring program though my four years in high school that connected high school tutors with peers, middle school students, and potentially students from an underfunded local elementary school in attempts to make academic help more accessible. I tutored in a number of different math classes at the time. In college, I worked with a tutoring agency to teach 6-12 year old student Python, Java, Scratch, and Web Development. My goal is to help you learn...

...little nudging from my College Band Director, well, the road definitely took a right turn. In 2002 I moved to Phoenix where I took my second teaching job in the Glendale Union High School District at Washington High School . While at WHS I was the director of instrumental music, responsible for teaching all bands, orchestras, drum lines, color guard, and guitar. WHS had a very diverse ethnic blend; there were eleven languages spoken in...

...to understand the material, even if it means deviating form normal techniques. I have tutored both kids and peers in the past. I have found that for kids, especially in mathematics, relating to something they enjoy makes the experience more enjoyable. Regarding peers/college level students, I can relate to them very well, because I have been through exactly what they're going through and I believe the number one trait is patience. I never rush a...

...the opportunity to work at the Downtown Student Success Center for two years as a supplemental instructor. Most of my students were pre-med or studying to become nurses. My favorite subject to teach was Anatomy/Physiology, but I also enjoyed most math and sciences courses especially General and Organic Chemistry. In my spare time, I enjoy competing in all types of sports, reading a good book and taking a ride on my motorcycle.

...in the future. I am very excited on the first day of every semester to meet my new students! It is my goal to make all the material relevant and interesting. I want my students to be as excited as me to learn each and every class. While I currently teach college students professionally, I still really enjoy tutoring younger students. I have worked with students from kindergarten all the way to 12th grade, teaching...

...of varied backgrounds -- from those re-taking failed classes to those applying to (and being accepted at) the best universities. I'm proud to say that I've helped all my students reach their goals, frequently pushing them to exceed their expectations. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time outdoors and exploring all that Arizona has to offer -- it's so different from the east coast that I just can't get enough of it! I also...

...Flinn Scholarship, a prestigious full-ride award given to 20 of the best and brightest students in Arizona out of a pool of nearly 600. My tutoring style is 100% student-first. I want to make sure we're operating exactly at the level and pace where the student feels comfortable, and using educational techniques that work for this student in particular. I want my relationship with my students to feel like a friendship, and ideally, I want...

...and culture. Although I have enjoyed my experience in the classroom immensely, I primarily enjoy working with students on a one-on-one basis. This gives me the opportunity to get to know them as individuals and really keep track of their progress. I view tutoring as more of an exchange than traditional teaching; I believe my students and I can work together to solve any problem. When assisting with a writing assignment, for example, it will...

...linguistics, explaining psychological concepts, and editing papers for both mechanical errors and content expression. I have spent the past six years tutoring and have become intensely passionate about helping students love school as much as I do. Outside of academia, I am passionate about soccer.

...Yet even still, it isn't perfect. People learn in different ways, and sitting in a classroom isn't always going to allow for optimal learning conditions. That's where I come in. By tutoring, myself and others are able to directly work with individuals until comprehension, understanding, and eureka moments abound. I am personally most interested in languages, math, history, literature, music, all forms of art, scientific investigation of the universe, and games which allow for a...
