...also helps me. My instruction incorporates the best techniques and explanations that I have found most effective over the years. I believe there are two critical ingredients needed to conquer any math issues. The first, is the quality of the tutor. Without a doubt, many people can teach you how to do a math problem, but not everyone can help explain it in such a way that you understand it and can apply the knowledge...

...the student can teach me how to correctly solve problems and arrive at the correct answers. In my opinion, there is no better way to assess the depth and breadth of one's knowledge than to try to convey it to others. The study habits I hope to pass on to my students are ones that have benefited me throughout my educational career. I graduated salutatorian of my high school and won third place overall in...

I enjoy novel writing, playing guitar and piano, programming, playing RPGs (I'm a big Final Fantasy...

...have had the opportunity to network with college admissions counselors across the country, and I gladly connect my students to any college admissions departments I am familiar with.

...plan to major in Software Engineering with a minor in Business. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about math, science, and college application help.

As an engineering student,...

...independently. As an instructor, I am dedicated to helping students succeed because I know from my own experiences as a student that, at every level of education, from elementary to graduate school, the support and encouragement of a passionate teacher can turn a diffident or apathetic underachieving student into a classroom star. My favorite subject to tutor is standardized test prep (SAT, ACT, GRE, etc.) because such tests cover a finite body of material that...

...I love to tutor in social studies, humanities, and life sciences, and have a lot of experience in tutoring for AP and SAT tests. My basic outlook on education is that 1. Everyone is intelligent and capable of learning 2. People have diverse interests and passions 3. Everyone learns in a unique way. If we spend our time following our passions and figuring out what learning style works best for us, than our education can...

...range of subjects. My tutoring style can best be described as collaborative. Much of the time the problems we will tackle together will be difficult or confusing, and I will guide our work to hone in on exactly where the difficulty lies. While working to use our time efficiently, I also believe that an intense, lecture-driven approach is rarely conducive to fostering an atmosphere of curiosity and willingness to try. Therefore, I will regularly solicit...

My tutoring style is essentially Socratic - I try to ask leading...

...Mistakes signify conceptual holes that must be filled through a detailed understanding of a course's core material. I want my students to become fluent in the basic language of their subject. Once a student has mastered the foundational concepts he can intuitively comprehend more advanced material instead of relying on memorization. For example, a student working on trigonometry cannot effectively understand cotangents or complex trig inequalities until he/she is comfortable manipulating the sin, cos and...
