...at supernova shock fronts in the Princeton University Department of Astrophysics, simulating how the turbulent plasmas push protons and ions. I have also worked at the Norfolk State University Department of Engineering, designing, simulating, optimizing, and building light filters for wavelength-division optical-electronic multiplexers. Another field I study is the mathematics of quasicrystals and aperiodic tilings, such as the Penrose tiling of rhombuses. Outside of school I play the trombone and piano, and enjoy hiking and...

...to audiences in the US and abroad, I find that the most rewarding and enjoyable teaching experiences are those that are one-on-one. My expertise is in Philosophy, Literature, and European History, but my interests extend to languages (French, German, Hebrew, and Latin) and to the study of religion. Since I first caught what a former professor of mine called the "reading bug" back in college, I have come to discover a simple truth: literature can...

...paired individually with a student who needed assistance in understanding homework and lecture material. I have also been a teaching assistant for two different statistical analysis courses at Wesleyan University in which I held office hours and lectures to help students with their comprehension of the course material. My methods for teaching reading and writing involve integrating fun, exciting techniques that engage the student in the material. By involving different methods of approaching the material,...

...helping them through material that is difficult to understand given the circumstances. I love working with kids of all ages and helping them grow academically and as a person. In addition to content tutoring, I aim to teach kids strategies to manage their time better and be more efficient. I am an athlete at Cornell and have mastered the art of time management and organization and want to instill this knowledge on my students.

The best part of teaching is when my student "gets" something, and the light bulb turns on. I teach you how to do something - writing, test-taking, study skills - so you can do it on your own in the future.

...math and sciences. I believe that relating the material back to concepts that are relevant to our daily lives is the best way to learn. I have had extensive tutoring experience in the areas of calculus, statistics, SAT, ACT and SAT subject tests in chemistry, mathematics and literature, GRE quantitative and the MCAT. And my mantra is practice practice practice! The more problems that we do together the more success you will encounter. In my...

...environment, I find the best way to help a student is to give him or her the tool necessary to learn and do for themselves. So, instead of simply helping them to memorize information, enough to get by, I try to teach them ways to learn and comprehend the information for themselves and to assist in their studies even beyond the tutoring session or particular subject area. Also, I find that motivation is a key...

...to adapt my tutoring style dependent on the student and subject. My outlines and lesson plans for a student are based upon the subject, student's personality, student's learning style, and most importantly overall goals. These key factors help me adapt to the student I am tutoring and the method in which we work together. Although I am a tutor in many subjects, I don't believe in tutoring in a subject I am not 100 percent...

...from Rutgers New Brunswick with a BA in Classics, Summa cum laude. I was also Pre-Med, so I have taken all the rigorous science courses. I am currently applying to medical school.

...I love it when students develop a passion for a subject like Biology, or develop an understanding and/or respect for Algebra, Geometry, etc. Most important to me is that the student ultimately feels successful, and sees improvement. Learning is a lifelong skill, and the desire to become better academically or to pass a class with a particular grade provides the motivation and opportunity to grow! I feel fortunate to be able to assist in those...

...variety of subjects. I am passionate about tutoring Latin and Math, and one of my favorite tutoring experiences came when I participated in a program where I helped Italian students in Rome with their conversational English skills, preparing them for exams. Outside of tutoring and school, I try to live an active lifestyle - I love to run, and you'll often find me playing pickup basketball and soccer. Otherwise, in my free time I have...

I plan to get my masters in both education and classics, and hope to help create a better education system that will work for all...

...math, both algebra and calculus, essay writing, grammar, and Latin. My approach to tutoring is strengthening the basics and then teaching the complex. Students are like buildings; they must have an unbreakable foundation before they can be built up. Also, I find that students learn best through examples, and so I always introduce new topics through examples to help facilitate the learning process. My greatest passion is soccer, which I love to both play and...

...important adventure that yields development and logical thinking. I find that education is an important experience that must result in the students complete understanding of what they are learning. For some, this is not always easy. While being a teacher, I also find myself considering those I instruct as peers because I too am learning. Thus, tutoring to assist those who need help only further exemplifies the need to improving one's educational adventure.

...was an ESL student myself in elementary school, so I understand the importance of patience and how that can shape a student's learning experience. Some children I taught math to were involved in their learning and assessed their knowledge through fun 'game' based exercises. I was able to observe the academic gains from children working collaboratively in groups. The most rewarding thing was to see everyone develop and continue to find new, effective ways of...

I am a former member of the American Classical League and have attended some of their national conferences and seminars on the teaching of Latin.
