Brendan

Algebra Tutor • +20 Subjects

I have worked as a teaching assistant and tutor for two general chemistry courses and a microeconomics course and will be a TA for Engineering Computing (a course in Matlab) this coming spring. For Chemistry, I led two, 75 minute workshops per week with a small group of students whom I helped to complete a problem set. For economics, I held 3 hours of office hours per week where students in the course would come in with questions on weekly homework assignments or exams. I have learned chemistry and computer science from different perspectives having taken AP Chemistry and AP Computer Science in high school and taking comparable classes again in my freshman year of college. In the workshop sessions I conducted as a chemistry TA, I would work through simple representative examples to help my students grasp general concepts, and then guide then through specific problems. My ability to illustrate the underlying concepts behind problems using different examples is very effective in garnering deeper understanding in those I tutor. I'm also good at asking questions geared to test whether a student really understands the concepts or not, and at explaining seemingly complex ideas in simple terms.

Susan

Elementary School Reading Tutor • +18 Subjects

My teaching style is to create an approach to learning by maximizing your child's strengths and understanding your child's learning style. I have experience using these techniques and have a strong educational background that emphasized this model for learning.My specialty includes using phonics and site-word recognition teaching techniques for a child who is struggling with reading competencies. Such instruction incorporates focus on the acquisition of reading comprehension, spelling, writing, speaking, listening and study skills, as well.I am an avid reader and very much appreciate the importance of helping a child unlock the joy reading. I will do this by using individualized, interesting, multi-sensory activities to motivate and excite any child to want to read. Allow me, to help you, to help your child improve upon reading skills while seeing progress being made in the process.

Ethan

ACT Math Tutor • +13 Subjects

I am a graduate of the both the University of Rochester (CHE B.S.) and the University of Michigan (NERS M.S.E). During my time at these institutions I was a teaching assistant for a variety of chemical engineering courses as well as an active tutor for Tau Beta Pi, which is an engineering honor society. My primary tutoring experience has mainly been with entry level college students in the fields of science, math, and engineering. I am a firm proponent of learning and understanding the mechanisms involved in solving problems as this results in a wider application of knowledge as compared to solving simply for an answer. In my spare time I enjoy science fiction literature and keep myself busy with lots of running and hiking outdoors.

Phillip

Algebra Tutor • +52 Subjects

I enjoy being on the other side of education as a tutor while still improving my own understanding of the subject.Upon graduating from college, I developed tutoring skills while helping high school students prepare for their SAT II Subject Exams, covering wide ranges including math, biology, and chemistry. I was responsible for elaborating on answers using relevant figures and innovative examples, creating catchy mnemonics, and solving problems from students' point of view. As a tutor, I remained accessible but maintained an appropriate distance to earn students' respect, and five out of ten students improved their scores by more than 200 points. Through these teaching experiences, I have learned not only to become a teacher from the students' perspective, but also what it takes to be an effective educational provider and a mentor.While taking six medical school courses throughout my graduate school program, I have been able to practice and enhance teaching methods by organizing study groups that regularly conducted review sessions before exams, highlighting important concepts made during the lectures, sharing concise notes and outlines, bringing up pertinent and innovative questions, and academically stimulating my peers without any unwelcoming pressures. Through these learning and teaching environments, I have directly experienced what interactive measures really foster healthy learning environments.With these experiences and my avid passion, I am confident I will be a valuable asset to your student.

Fairooz

ACT Science Tutor • +40 Subjects

My name is Fairooz, and I am currently a third-year medical student at Upstate Medical University. Ive always wanted to be a doctor for as far back I can remember. I recall the visits made to my pediatrician during my early days. The little girl in me could not help but be mesmerized by the doctors qualities: his patience for his long hours, his kindness, his empathy, his eagerness to listen, and his intelligence. His image remained in my mind as the kind of person Id want to be, and I try to apply many of these qualities to all my interactions, whether with patients or with students that I tutor.It is part of my personal philosophy that we should take the knowledge that we acquire over time and spread it to others in an easy-to-grasp manner. For as long as I can remember, I have always been enthusiastic about teaching others what I know, for I feel that knowledge is to be shared. I am a good listener, easy to get along with, and my main goal is to make everyone I interact with feel comfortable in my presence. This means that I am very receptive to the needs of my students and I personalize the way I approach my students based on what l feel is best for them to learn and excel. I understand that everyone does not learn best the same way. There are some students that are more visual learners, others who are more auditory learners, and yet others who learn by a combination of both. Some students learn better by reading textbooks while other require help in extracting the main concepts. I find this difference to be the most exciting aspect of teaching, as it challenges me to mold my approach each time I encounter a new student.

Muhammad

Biology Tutor • +31 Subjects

For the past 10 years I have been living overseas. I've recently moved back to the US and I am currently living in Syracuse. I moved with my parents to Saudi Arabia senior year of high school, and in the interest of exposing myself to a culture different from mine, I decided to continue my higher education over there. I graduated for medical school in Saudi Arabia and I am currently working on my United States Medical Licensing Exams so I can practice medicine here in the US. Due to my educational background, I have an excellent grasp of the biological sciences and I have always been able to help others understand difficult concepts.Also while living in Saudi Arabia I had the opportunity to teach English as a second language for many years. I believe that living in a place with such a rich and unique culture, so different from our own, has given me an understanding on how to teach the English language effectively to people who were not necessarily exposed to the same cultural experiences.So if you're having trouble with your undergrad or high school science courses, or if you would like get a grasp on the English language I would be more than happy to help.
