...received my Bacehlor's of Science in Biomedical Engineering from the University of North Carolina. Currently, one of my biggest passion is using CAD software to design prosthetic implants. I have been a math tutor since my sophomore year in high school, and it has always been so rewarding to help students understand material, from learning how to use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculating integrals. Being an engineer, I personally know the difference between what a...

I am a recent college graduate from Columbia University with a lot of experience in research and writing. My major was Human Rights and I am passionate about the issues that I engage with. I received my associate's degree from Bergen Community College in 2014 and my Bachelors from Columbia in 2017. At Bergen Community, I worked in the tutoring center focusing on assisting students with writing in any subject. I also tutor English and...

...my students the best, as we talk through dreams, aspirations, and life experiences. I view education as a skill; education is not around to help us learn specific things, but rather education teaches us how to learn. Outside the classroom, I'm a well-traveled certified SCUBA diver who enjoys spending time kayaking and weightlifting. I also played ice hockey through college and performed as a classical pianist on campus and in Europe. When I'm not feeling so...

...a high-performing middle school for the past five years. My greatest passion is making science accessible, especially when it can seem confusing and intimidating. I love activating students' natural curiosity and inquiry, and using that to build confidence in and mastery of a wide variety of academic topics.

I love to swim, walk my pug dog, and hang out with family and friends in my free time. I hope I can help you in your studies. I look forward to working with you!

...Many students have difficulty with physics at first because it introduces new methods of thinking, so I love trying to help students reach that "click" moment where everything comes together. The actual calculations of physics problems may be daunting, but I aim to strengthen fundamental concepts during my tutoring sessions so that students feel confident to tackle difficult problems on AP and other standardized tests. Outside of my academic pursuits, I love music production, sound...

...I am about teaching and kick-started my tutoring career many years ago while volunteering at a refugee home in Berlin. It's been an amazing journey ever since! Between teaching 4th grade and solely instructing an accredited freshman-level sociology course at Rutgers University during my senior year of college, I've been fortunate enough to help students adequately connect with the necessary material (school work, prep courses, etc) in ways that suit their maturity level, learning style...

...State University in the field of Mathematical Economics. I have tutored undergraduate Statistics within the Economics Department for the past 2 years and have loved helping business students through their required Statistics class! My tutoring style puts heavy emphasis on trying not to make a student feel like they are working with a tutor, but with another student in a study session. While it is important to come to a teacher/tutor for help if one...

I am a lover of learning, especially mathematics. I believe students learn best from people they like, so I always make it a point to build relationships with students and treating them with respect and dignity. I also believe that students learn through different means, so I differentiate instruction to meet the needs of the students. I look forward to meeting all of the wonderful students who want to learn math in exciting way and...

...school. Last month, I learned about mock trials with high school students, and it was very interesting. I have a Masters in Educational Technology from University of Pittsburgh in PA, undergraduate degree in psychology and sociology from Duquesne University, and advanced paralegal certificate from Duquesne University. I taught K-12 in San Diego and also wrote test questions for Measurement, an educational testing company. I also taught at Duke, as well as University of Phoenix online....

...a focus on economics at the University of Rochester. I'm interested in tutoring students in mathematics and/or computer science, as I enjoy both subjects thoroughly, and think that a good understanding of those subjects is useful to anyone, no matter their interests. I also do tutoring for AP/IB exams, SAT, and ACT because I think it's critically important for people to get into the best college they can for as cheap as possible, and those...

...also have some experience working with children with autism. In my teaching style and tutoring philosophy, I see myself as the coach and mentor. I'm there to help each student be the best he or she can be -- to work out that brain muscle! I'm there to challenge, motivate, and engage each student. Subjects I tutor include elementary and middle school science; elementary through high school math (through algebra, trigonometry, and geometry); elementary through...

...individuals from various walks of life and it has allowed me the opportunity to learn more about other cultures and ideals that are different from my own. I received my Bachelors degree and Masters degree in applied mathematics from North Carolina Central University. I currently attend North Carolina State University where I am working on my Ph.D. in mathematics education. I currently tutor elementary mathematics, pre-algebra, algebra I, algebra II, geometry, statistics, and pre-Calculus. My...

...about themselves, the world around them, and the things that are important in their lives. I believe that the humanities really do help us be more human with each other and in our world. I teach and tutor with the assumption that school is a set of practices that anyone can learn and that, when they engage those practices diligently, students gain empathy and critical thinking skills that are transferable to all of their endeavors.

...it. Education has opened up so many doors for me, and this is largely because I was fortunate to have some amazing teachers growing up who made learning fun (or at the very least not miserable). My goal is to do the same for each one of the students who I work with, and find ways to make even the most abstract concepts or complex math problems "click" in a student's mind.... Individualization is key. Find...

...and projects that helped the students gain interest in science, as well as learn and understand science. I have also tutored students in math, reading, and language arts. When tutoring students, my goal is to understand the level the students are currently at, and how best to help them advance to higher levels. My lesson plans usually consist of worksheets and projects that focus on the area that is challenging for the students. I also...

...in English at UNC Wilmington this past spring. I have a bounty of experience working with students, with a colorful background including ski instruction and lifeguarding. I tutor in all things English, from literature and writing to essay writing and revisions. My teaching embodies a simple motto: Motivation is 90% of any goal, whether self-betterment in the short or long term. By simply taking the initiative to ask something new of yourself, you ensure the...

...math, the SAT, and writing. I believe each student is capable of wonderful things, both academically and otherwise, and that education is much broader than simply attending school. Some of the qualities I aim for as a tutor are patience, encouragement, and helping students examine difficulties with respect for their own abilities, which they usually underestimate. In addition to lots of reading and some contemplation, I love to listen to and write music.

...at Dallas, I continued to fortify this skill. Employed by the on-campus Student Success Center as both a Peer Tutor and Supplemental Instruction Leader, I led sessions for advanced engineering mathematics, statics and dynamics, mechanics of materials, physics, and calculus. Through these programs, I was introduced to new methods for helping students attain their own understanding of course materials with only minimal guidance from myself. These methods relied upon the fact that, oftentimes, students already...
