...of 20 hours a week tutoring in subjects including AP Physics 1, AP Calculus AB/BC, Middle School Mathematics, Science, and Spanish, Regents Geometry, Regents Algebra, Regents Trigonometry, and US History. I understand how the young adolescent mind operates, and am able to employ several different teaching styles (e.g. visual, conceptual, verbal) due to my knowledge of the subject at hand. I also have much experience with adolescents through my tutoring experience, coaching ice hockey, and...

...graduating from Swarthmore I worked as a caretaker on the Appalachian Trail for four months, and am now settling down to tutor full-time until hiking season comes back into full swing. Next fall I hope to start my PhD in physics, with the ambition of one day becoming a professor at a university. Coming from an academic career track, I am very familiar with the frustrations of standardized testing, and am well-prepared to help others...

Hi! I am an engineering student at Northeastern University who loves helping people out with all subjects. Standardized tests are just a game against the clock that we can improve in so many ways. ... I have two philosophies. 1. Practice makes perfect. 2. There's an angle to everything. I think there is always more than one way to approach a problem, and typically the test tries to make you think you need to take the...

...Polytechnic Institute with a B.S. in Physics, and I will be attending Northeastern University to continue my education with a Ph.D. in Physics. I love helping students succeed, and I bring a strong Math and Science background to help students struggling with these difficult subjects. I believe that the secret to succeeding in these subjects is not in memorizing solutions and equations, but by developing problem solving skills so students will know how to approach...

...improvisation allow me to flexibly change problem solving approaches based on what the student needs. I am focused on engaging everyone I work with and am keenly attuned to whether people are truly following along. As an actor and director with a degree in science, I am equally at home with "science-y" and "arts-y" students. I am there to help foster a love for learning regardless of how much the student may or may not...

...high schoolers come to MIT to take classes from MIT students on any subject imaginable. My time in ESP got me addicted to "spreading the joy of teaching and learning". I love my work as a manufacturing consultant and enjoy spending my weekends teaching online small-group classes and tutoring students. When tutoring, I specialize in Math, Physics, English Grammar and Syntax, and Microsoft Excel since those are all skills and concepts I tutored in college...

...intuition of maths and the language used to describe physical phenomena is something I have gained in my studies, and lends itself well to teaching these topics to others. In addition, I also teach the classical guitar privately and in several private schools in Upstate New York. I am in my fifth year of instruction, having earned my Associates degree in music performance for classical guitar. I am well-versed in music theory and jazz.

Hi! My name is Adriana, and I'm an MIT undergrad studying Urban Planning. I loved math in science in school, but know that it can be frustrating and easy to dislike when taught in a way that is difficult to understand, or when it seems useless and pointless to learn. My goal is to get students not only to perform well in these subjects, but to fully comprehend and enjoy them.

Hello there! I am a current (though almost graduated) student in Chemical Engineering at Georgia Tech. I absolutely love teaching and tutoring, and I have 3 years experience tutoring and just over a year's experience in being a teacher's assistant. I am passionate about math and science, and I love helping people understand new material. Learning is something I have always loved, and I want to share that passion with others.

...am an enthusiastic and dedicated educator with a strong passion for science. I am thrilled at the prospect of creating a positive impact by imparting knowledge and fostering an engaging learning environment. My academic background in Physics, Math, and Calculus, coupled with my practical teaching experience, has equipped me with the skills to design compelling, inclusive, and impactful science tutoring sessions. I am committed to instilling a sense of curiosity, encouraging critical thinking, and facilitating...

I am a physics PhD student at Harvard trained in mathematics, physics, and computer science at Stanford where I did my undergraduate studies. I have been tutoring and teaching for the last 9 years, including math tutoring and teaching online computer science classes at Stanford. Through teaching, I aim to empower students to think creatively and be able to solve a wide range of problems through general strategies and problem-solving techniques.

...calculus and physics with calculus. This is simply because I think these subjects are the coolest subjects, and also there's so much beauty in the things that we study. All motion in the entire universe can be expressed through mathematics. How cool is that?? I have a very laid back teaching style, and by that I mean I teach the fundamentals and do the example problems, and the rest I guide the kids to come...

...As a tutor, my role is to use my aptitude and experience as a problem solver and communicator to help my students to acquire new skills and reach their learning goals. My teaching philosophy is based on experiential learning, which simply put means that my students learn by doing. Whenever possible instead of solving a single problem, I will give my student skills or frameworks to solve many problems. My experience comes from tutoring and...

Challenging yourself to learn new material and in new ways isn't easy, but succeeding at either objective is rewarding.

...their subject matter. My goal, outside of just helping someone with their material, is to develop strong problem-solving skills and habits that can be applied to their future work. I think my approachable communication style as well my desire to see their understanding 'click' with a student make me a great tutor. Outside of my full-time job and tutoring I enjoy golfing, snowboarding, playing guitar and hanging with my family and friends.... I like to teach...

I have always had a knack for seeing multiple solutions to a given problem (even receiving a little gag award for our fifth grade graduation, titled: "I have a better way to do that" award). In addition to the natural joy I get from tutoring, I also enjoy solving the puzzle of determining which solution method matches best with how each student learns and thinks.

...research labs and research projects. As I gained experience with tutoring, I have improved my communication skills and teaching style, and polished my own understanding of concepts in math and physics. Through this work, I have found the following approaches to work well, regardless of someone's background or interests. 1. Everyone is capable of learning math and physics beyond the level required in high school or college. Although sometimes these subjects may seem obscure, irrelevant,...
