Based on my previous work, training and college classes, I was awarded a Baccalaureate in Nuclear Engineering Technology in 1988 from Charter Oak College. l also...

...that knowing a subject and knowing how to teach said subject can be quite different. Being able to relate to different types of people and understanding different learning styles is extremely important and listening for comprehension, as a teacher/tutor, is a necessary skill that I don't see enough of. Knowing how crucial it is, I try my best to really listen and understand the learners point of view in order to make the most out...

...professional electrical engineer by trade who enjoys sports & science. I also really enjoy teaching others what I know related to science, mathematics, and physics. Science is an exact way to describe how the world works and a way to explore opportunities to make it better. The reason I enjoy sharing what I know is that I also refresh myself, and in the process I get to meet new people and create new connections with...

...do. Ever since I started tutoring friends in class junior year in high school, I found that giving someone a way to understand the world better and give them insight on what that person can truly do is intrinsically rewarding. I want to continue tutoring people in the hopes that those students will truly understand the topics they are learning and, if they are truly invested in their studies, understand who they are as individuals...

...order to live comfortably in the future. I try to simultaneously help students reach their personal/social potentials, so that they bring winning attitudes into the future as well. I enjoy the challenge of tutoring, as it forces me to think in new ways, and it is rewarding to witness the moment a difficult concept "clicks" for a student. In my free time, I volunteer at local school systems, play intramural soccer, practice the ukulele, and...

Learning is an ongoing process. As a tutor it is my goal to help take information and make it "real" for the learner. In this way theory becomes practical information that can help one grow. Aside from helping others understand concepts, I enjoy anime, sports (basketball & skateboarding), and learning new things myself.

I am a sophomore biology major at the University of Pittsburgh. I have experience tutoring during high school and really enjoy working with others and explaining complex topics. My best subjects are math and science in which I have done well in through high school and college. Additionally, I have experience with preparing for and taking AP tests and SATs. I would be more than happy to help with those areas as well!

...have worked - almost all of my students have become licensed. My early interests in photography, canoeing, camping, and hiking have now been supplanted by my love of computers. I have built many computers and done innumerable installations and configurations. I'm currently experimenting with micro-computers and their application to Amateur Radio and emergency operations. My teaching philosophy wants to encourage the "Why", not just the "How" of the subject. Understanding is lots more fun than...

I served as the lead undergraduate tutor for thermodynamics and strength of materials while studying Mechanical Engineering at RPI. I am interested in tutoring high school students in Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry.

...to deprived communities across the globe is one of my many drives. I have worked with students from different levels, but mostly high school through college. Tutoring has been a major part of my educational training. Right from the onset, I embraced the philosophy that being able to teach others what has been taught is the best way to demonstrate one's understanding of the material. So, I made it a point to offer my assistance...

I have truly enjoyed studying the sciences in my college years, and since then have enjoyed even more so to tutor the scientific concepts to others!... Teaching is gauged by the comprehension of the student. If one knows something well, they can help another understand it in terms beneficial for the learner!... I like to get an idea of the student's comfort level with the material, and whether or not the student recognizes exactly which hurdles...

...I took it upon myself during my own education to understand different ways a concept works. By doing this, I ensured that a concept makes sense to me in many ways, therefore thoroughly understanding a concept. Not only do I like to provide different ways of learning to students for those who are confused in an already taught way, I promote students to discover different ways to understand material. From my experiences, I have learned...

...participated in mathematics and science competitions since middle school and have tutored students in middle school and high school seeking to prepare for the AMC exams. My foremost passion is the Physical Sciences but the majority of my teaching experience has been with Mathematics. Be it for school, a standardized test, or simple curiosity, I delight in building the understanding of mathematical and physical principles. "The greatest joy is the joy of understanding" -Leonardo DaVinci....

...than math, and so I decided to major in computer engineering. I am still in the process of achieving my bachelor's degree in engineering, and I also hope to achieve a minor degree in mathematics, which after my undergraduate level, I will go into graduate level to pursue mathematics. I like to tutor students in various aspect of mathematics because, I just like them, had someone in my early life help me understand that mathematics...

...solution, times when he or she also needs to hear the explanation of why the solution works, and times when he or she should be guided to finding the solution on his or her own. It is important for the tutor to recognize which approach is appropriate. Frequently, when students struggle, it is because they do not understand the notation or terminology in use. In such cases, it is important to reassure the student, reminding...

...people's lives and my own. We both learn from the experience. Working on STEM problems is the favorite part of my day. Everything builds off of what you have already mastered; your skills and knowledge grow, becoming a more complex and logical tool. STEM is an amazing branch of life that has infinitely many uses and avenues to go down, whether you want to become something better or just love solving the puzzles.
