...they are meant to be. My years of teaching experience have helped prepare me with two important abilities: seeing language arts as a means to develop students' awareness and ability to communicate more effectively, and a greater appreciation for the individual student through balanced and effective classroom teaching and management. I teach because I have a passion for teaching, but mostly, because I care about reaching and inspiring each student from a wide array of...

...neuroscience. At the University, I'm usually in class, studying, hanging out with my friends, or at club meetings! In my free time, I love to breakdance, write poetry, debate politics and economics, and participate in practically every nerdy endeavor possible (huge Star Wars fan!!). I love to talk and will talk your ear off if you let me! I love trying new things, exploring the city, and traveling. My teaching philosophy is that teaching is...

...science. While I do not have any formal experience with teaching, I have spent much of my academic career tutoring friends and family to help them succeed in school, and I have personally improved the grades of many of my peers through studying sessions with me by as much as 30%.

...a fine artist is an excellent way to indulge my interest in a variety of subjects from the role of free speech in society to the history of suburban development. I enjoy tutoring because of the opportunity it provides to encourage students' intellectual curiosity. Seeing the joy of learning when a concept "clicks" for someone is one of the perks of the job. I also appreciate the mental stimulation tutoring provides for me, exercising my...

...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 each of my students' needs. The goal is for students to leave in a more calm, confident state than before.

...are how I like to share subjects I'm experienced in and passionate about (especially computer skills, Python, and math) with others. I try to convey the principles and thought process that are the basis of my own understanding of the subject, not just rules to follow or things to memorize. Being able to explain your answer is even more important than simply getting it right! My tutoring style is personalized, with plenty of examples and...

...students through their preparation for standardized tests. AP, ACT, and SAT are tests where a quick understanding of the content is necessary, but students also need wise strategies for working under time pressure, narrowing down answers, and understanding what the questions are really saying. I value critical thinking as my philosophy of education, because students who have developed the ability to reason through new concepts and be confident in the conclusions they reach are not...

...I have experience tutoring close family friends in the subjects of Math, Reading/Writing, and other homework help. My philosophy when it comes to helping others is to discover which way they learn best, and then adapt my teaching approach to cater to them. There is no way that success can be obtained in learning if a student's already stellar strengths aren't taken into account first. I believe that great patience, dedication, and positive reinforcement in...

As a teacher and a tutor, I have worked with students ranging from children to doctoral degree candidates. I like tutoring students individually because it allows me to tailor my approach to each student in a way that I could never do in a classroom. Outside of my work, I enjoy listening to music, bicycling, cooking,...

I have tutored high schoolers at the MN Internship Center and worked with students of all ages from elementary schoolers to adults at the non-profit program Safe Place: Homework Help. A particular highlight of mine is the summer I spent teaching English to adults as a certified ESL assistant at the International Education Center in downtown Minneapolis. All these experiences have helped me develop...

...can already. I teach based on where I know they are capable of going and what they are capable of doing." I believe that people should always strive to know more. Curiosity makes the world a better and, frankly, a more fun place. If I can instill that lifelong curiosity into even one of my students, I would have reached success. I also firmly believe that conversation is a huge part of a successful teaching/learning...

...your own course and further your own education in the process - there isn't a single excuse for growing stale and stagnant (in terms of personal education). I feel that one of the best sensations in life is the spark of creativity and intrigue that accompanies a "deep dive" into a new subject. I consistently strive to cultivate further learning and growth by consuming course content, ebooks, audiobooks, podcasts and more! If I feel that...

...home in Minnesota! When I graduate, I am hoping to go on to obtain a master's in education and become a licensed teacher.

I am most passionate about all kinds of math, including algebra, calculus, trigonometry, or elementary/middle school math, as well as beginner to intermediate levels of French. Just like my math teacher of a mom, I am dedicated to helping students grow in the academic...

...idea and making it relevant, not simply on a global level, but on an individual one as well. This means not only asking the question, "How is this idea relevant to the modern day?" but also to pose to your student, "How is this relevant to you, to your individual life?" When one does the latter, one not only cultivates an intellect, but cultivates a relationship as well, and that is key to effective pedagogy.

...a math learning center for the past two years. I am currently studying for a masters degree in math education, and my passion is working with students who need a little extra time and/or explanations outside of class to perform their best.
