...each student. As a high school and middle school substitute teacher and as an instructor at the North Carolina Governor's School I found that I enjoy teaching students at all levels, from middle school through advanced undergraduate. I tutor many subjects, most especially essay writing and editing, grammar and mechanics, reading comprehension and critical thinking, public speaking, Spanish language, study skills and organization, and U.S. history and politics. The courses I have designed and taught at...

We all learn differently, but in the end we all still learn the same things.

...my skill set thus far is in English, Literature, Essay Editing, and Art History. Currently, I am a graduate student at Arizona State University studying Social Work.

I am very patient, passionate about my field, and understand every student learns differently. I look forward to helping you master...

...being an undergrad) but that is the most exciting thing about school, no matter how much you know, theres always another book to stump/amaze you. It has been my life dream to attend medical school and after an internship in Spain it is clear to me that I want to be a surgeon. Outside of that the three things I love most are learning, the outdoors, and the Boston Celtics; lucky for me science has...

...writing. I also had a chance to display my passion for charting the development and influence of big ideas through History. After returning to Tucson, I completed a teaching credential in secondary (7th-12th) education from Pima Community College. With my MA, I am most qualified to teach Philosophy; however, I am "highly qualified" according to the State of Arizona to teach a wide range of subjects, including English, Social Studies, History, Middle School General Sciences,...

...worked with students in many settings, from mentoring in STEM programs to coaching high school football, always aiming to meet learners where they are and push them toward their goals. I tutor biology, bioinformatics, data science, Python, R, and machine learning. Biology is my favorite subject to tutor and also the subject where I hold the most expertise. My teaching philosophy is rooted in patience, clarity, and adaptability. I focus on fostering real understanding rather...

...individuals interest in that subject, so my first goal is to always help a student discover what they think is interesting about the subject. Once an interest is formed, appreciation and understanding easily develop. My approach to tutoring subjects that center around problem solving, such as Chemistry and Physics, is to go over a variety of example problems and learn all the different methods to solving such problems. For subjects with more abstract concepts, such...

...students achieve their goals. I have previous tutor work experience working for Pima Community College where I helped students with math and physics mostly. My favorite subjects are math and programming. My teaching style is critical thinking oriented, I like asking and working out key questions and problems that help students develop a strong understanding of the fundamental. This technique has helped many students improve their grades and to stop depending on my tutoring service...

...and as a high school science teacher. I tutor Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and Math. Chemistry is my preferred subject (stoichiometry is fun!). My main goal in teaching and tutoring is to simplify concepts that initially seem difficult and to reduce frustration in math and science by building students' confidence in their problem-solving abilities. Math and science become much easier with individualized attention and instruction! Aside from teaching and learning, I enjoy reading, backpacking, horticulture, yoga,...

...tutor for students that need support in several subjects. I consider myself an "expert generalist," which is a rare specialty at the college level. I enjoy working with students with learning differences. For example, students who need help keeping up with the many reading and writing assignments in college. I also work well with international students and non-native English speakers. SUBJECTS: At all levels: English, writing, economics, psychology, history, philosophy, sociology, political science, ethics, logic....

Current PhD student in Biostatistics at the University of Arizona, MSPH in Biostatistics, BA in Math, BS in Statistics from the University of Iowa. I absolutely love Statistics and Applied Math with real applications to the world around us. I hope to instill a passion for mathematics beyond arithmetic in my students

...my knowledge and skills to people in need. During my time at Pima, I found myself the most helpful when I tutor in Chemistry and Math. Math is a subject that has a special place in my heart; chemistry can be related to our everyday life, which sparked my interest. I believe that any question asked is a step closer to understanding the material, and I encourage my students to ask any question that can...

...My background includes Advanced Placement workshops in Calculus AB & BC, and Computer Science and Statistics. As well, I have participated in many National Science Foundation opportunities in Math and Computer Science. I have taught AP Statistics, AP Calculus AB and BC, and Computer Science A and AB (when it was offered). My rate of passing for all AP courses is over 90% ( and over 50% scoring a 5). I am currently retired from...

...private tutoring sessions, then worked with Kumon Learning Center, and most recently I tutored college students with learning and cognitive disorders at the UofA. I began tutoring at a young age because as an immigrant from India I personally struggled with the school system and I understand how integral tutors can be to a student's success. I am well rounded, have a positive attitude, an work hard to meet the individual needs of each student.

...1989. I have certified to teach high school level math and the first year courses in earth science and biology. I have since had years of tutoring at the University of Arizona, the University of Texas. My first secret for tutoring is that usually, especially with math, the thing a student is facing at the moment, be it a homework set or an exam, is not the real trouble, but some other difficulty...... Connection. I talk...

...by knowledge of facts, but should instead be demonstrated by the understanding of content, to a level which is beyond rote memorization, and instead focuses on adequate application of the student's knowledge. It is the teacher's role to not create a dictionary or list of facts to be pulled from, but to encourage critical thinking, and application for any problem headed towards the student, be it an assignment, real-life problem, or research-based question.

...examples into the subject, I have found that this makes complex material more relatable and easier to digest. I also have found teaching is a give and take with students and work hard to make sure that my teaching methods are adaptable enough to any student needs. I have found that hard classes are best balanced with fun activities. I enjoy reading such as the Harry Potter, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, 1984, The Martian...

...an AZA accredited zoo or aquarium. I have always had a passion for wildlife and education! I spent four years volunteering at the Oregon Zoo teaching kids about animals, and spent last year teaching students at an environmental center. My favorite aspect of teaching is seeing the students become excited and intrinsically motivated to learn. Through my studies, I have had the opportunity to learn about and work with students with a range of different abilities,...

...I do not understand something, repetition will not help me; I need to come at it from a different angle. For example, I rarely learn from spoken word; I have trained myself to visualize what people are saying while they are saying it, which has helped a lot, but often I need to write things down, or perform some physical motion. So when tutoring, I switch up visual/auditory/kinesthetic approaches, and also try to ground things...
