...understand the difficulty in finding a way to master both the material and the tests. I am well aware of the challenges that standardized tests present and love working with students to come up with a tailored arsenal of strategies and approaches to make the test easier and less intimidating.

...pertains to one-on-one or small-group tutoring. In addition to enjoying tutoring, I also enjoy seeing my students succeed. In middle school, I struggled to find motivation in the field of mathematics, as many of my teachers didn't spend enough time supporting me and their other students. Only in high school did I grow very interested in math, as my teachers set enough time aside to discuss the material and to further student interest through math's...

...School. I have also worked as a teaching assistant at Oberlin College. I tutored analytical and creative writing and gave lectures and facilitated discussions on creative writing, visual art, architecture, music, and dance.

...a prestigious independent school in New Hampshire and this fall I taught at an experiential education school in CO, where I mentored students on multiple two-week backpacking trips. It is my belief that learning math is a perfect context in which to learn creative problem solving. In addition to working with students on complete content coverage, I frame problems as a series of open ended questions that lead to the correct answer and develop a...

...myself started very slowly in intermediate college math courses, but gradually the subject matter was known with practice, which eventually enabled me to appreciate math as an art. I see this work as a mutual advantage and I intend to pursue graduate studies by fall at the University of Washington while hoping to learn and teach along the way. My specialty areas are calculus, pre-calculus, trigonometry, geometry, and algebra. Advanced courses beyond calculus III may...

...premed student with a major in philosophy and a minor in mathematics at the University of Washington, I was fortunate to be exposed to very different learning and teaching styles. I also learned to appreciate that very smart people can think in very different ways from each other and that people who are outstanding at some subjects inevitably need help with others. I always bring this insight to bear on tutoring, where I work together...

...started to incorporate this into their mentality, tutoring sessions would suddenly become just casual conversations because my students were basically teaching and motivating themselves. If given the opportunity, I will motivate my students as a tutor and be with them every step of the way. I don't want my students to feel lost and discouraged. I want them to feel empowered and curious no matter where they are compared to others. No student should ever...

...endeavor - it not only improves ones quality of life, it literally rewires the way your brain views our world and the results are remarkable.

...am happiest when I leave civilization behind and enjoy the outdoors. I love camping, hiking, backpacking, and I recently got into rock climbing. As a tutor, I believe it is my job to provide supplemental instruction that is tailored to my students' needs and learning style. Listing to a teacher explain how to solve a math problem is not everybody's favorite way to learn. Sometimes it just takes someone willing to patiently answer any and...

I have worked with students of all ages in a variety of subjects and settings, from all backgrounds in this country and others. I have found, consistently, that the best way to connect is to be genuine and sincere with enthusiasm for the material and compassionate consideration for the learner. It is a pleasure to meet you :-)

...families, to help both student and parent understand their child's potential. The subjects that I love to inspire others with are English and Math, I believe that there is always more than one way to teach someone and therefore am able to adapt to many different situations and educational levels that I am presented with. I also believe that sometimes it takes more than just memorizing the information in order to actually learn a subject;...

...school, I really love playing sports and hiking in the Pacific Northwest. I really love working with people and I believe education is extremely important. I enjoy teaching and think teaching can come in many forms (not just lecture-style teaching). Thus I have developed an array of study techniques that I personally have benefited from and have shared with others and seen them benefit from as well. I have really enjoyed getting an education, I...

...– that’s my teaching philosophy. I like to use lots of analogies and stories in my explanations, because anchoring difficult concepts in everyday experiences makes them much easier to comprehend. In addition to physics, I also enjoy tutoring subjects in math (Algebra, Calculus, Geometry, etc.), and Biology and Chemistry. And in my spare time, I enjoy playing Club Frisbee, cards, ukulele, and watching YouTube videos (sometimes for education and other times for laughs)!
