...in Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd and 5th grade, and I really enjoy working with students who struggle with English and Language Arts.

I tutor in a wide variety of subjects from Writing to Math to Social Studies. I am passionate...

...vocabulary and a lack of contextual understanding. I encourage students to learn new words as an act of discovery and record each in their personal list, which they can take pride in enlarging. Contextual understanding can be achieved by offering stories and sharing the process of exploration and discovery, both online and in books. Writing, where many students have the greatest difficulty, should be enjoyed as an expressive activity, not dreaded as a mysterious and...

...and Government at the AP level. As a junior/senior, I also helped prepare students for PSAT/SAT & SAT subject tests as a recommended peer tutor through my school's guidance department (ages 15-17). I have always been an avid reader, which, I believe, has helped me develop an innate understanding of grammar. I love helping students with reading, English language and literature, and writing particularly around college applications, admissions essays, and SAT preparation. I have extensive...

...teacher for a little over two years now. I am willing to tutor any level of mathematics up to Calculus. I think the best way for a student to understand mathematics is to have a conceptual understanding. I try to help students see the why and not just memorize material. Not every person may love mathematic, but everyone can learn it. Besides my love for math I enjoy country music, going to the gym and...

...school biology and chemistry, as well as elementary and middle school math. The role of an excellent tutor is to provide clarity and context - to act as a guide in learning, not an answer key. I understand how to deconstruct complex ideas into basic concepts and to build knowledge on strong fundamentals. Rather than bombard a student with information, I want to communicate and receive feedback to understand how they learn. One-on-one tutoring allows...

...enjoy sports, spending time with friends and reading. As a teaching assistant for undergraduate physics, I was the highest rated teaching assistant in the physics department two years in a row. The ratings evaluated both my content and my ability to convey complex subjects in a way that even non-science and math students were able to comprehend. As a tutor, I was very successful in improving students' grades in high school math and physics and...

...the subjects they would like to master. I believe each and every student has unique learning requirements and I strive to meet these needs by modifying my teaching method in order to best benefit my student. I am very patient and I always like to ensure that my student is progressing and excelling with each session. I am currently a medical student so I have a deep compassion for caring for and helping people. This...

...and figuring out answers to others' questions. I learned that my greatest strength in teaching others is my ability to see things from their perspective and to tailor what I was trying to teach to that perspective. That experience taught me that anyone can learn anything, provided that she or he takes the time to work through the material and has someone willing to re-phrase and clarify things in a way that makes sense. I'd like...

...necessary to ensure the success of my students. I have vast experience tutoring children and adults between the ages of 6-25 from basic Algebra to Calculus II. I provide a calendar with specific test dates to help students become more organized. I create tests based on questions which the students struggle answering.

...(mostly calculus) and chemistry including both general and organic chemistry. In addition, I am very familiar with all sections of the SAT and ACT having prepared several high school students for these tests. I believe that every student is capable of boosting his or her baseline score on these tests, so long as he or she works hard to get to know the format of the tests and the most popular types of questions. I...

Nevertheless, I have always carried a profound interest in teaching and tutoring...

...18. By far, my favorite subject to tutor is Math because once a student understands a mathematical concept, the problems that he/she struggled with before become astonishingly easy. I believe that tutoring is a very underestimated supplemental tool that should be more seriously considered if a student is having trouble grasping the concept. A fair and adaptive 1-on-1 tutoring method helps students to understand the material on their own, which is ultimately the goal of...
