...to: 1. Review and reteach material from her school that has proven difficult. 2. Diagnostically assess for instructional gaps and then fill in gaps to bolster a strong subject area foundation. 3. Impart test-taking skills and strategies necessary for school success. I teach with the tenets of the Common Core State Standards in mind. As such, I do not aim to teach "tricks" for getting the right answer. Rather, I aim to wholly ingrain the...

I currently attend the University of Chicago, where I major in Political Science and Biology. When I'm not spending hours reading Nietzsche, I'm doing improv comedy and graphic design. I'm currently pursuing a career in advertising/consulting, and in my spare time I eat mini tacos and watch Louis CK stand-up comedy. ... Teaching is about taking something complex and making it easy to understand. I like to focus a lot on students' questions, as they give...

...first member of my family to work in healthcare makes me proud of the journey that led me to decide to become a doctor. I made this decision just weeks before my senior year in college began. In May 2014, I graduated with a degree in biochemistry from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln knowing that my next step was to discover what it meant to be a doctor. The more involved that I have become...

...tutoring style that prioritizes establishing a sound conceptual foundation that a student can later extend into more advanced content and novel applications. I also believe that challenging students to think beyond the content presented is crucial for the development of critical thinking skills and curiosity. Beyond all else, however, I believe that one learns best when he or she finds meaning in the material that extends beyond textbooks or assessments. I hope I can be...

...approach to understanding concepts. In Mathematics, there are multiple methods to solving problems and relating their applications to the real world. With Science, there are many ways to explain processes, including through the use of analogies and metaphors. However, standardized exam preparation is my favorite subject to tutor because it requires the development of strategies as well as knowledge. It allows students to improve critical thinking skills that will not only be useful for exams,...

...I will do everything I can to help my students achieve any goal. As an educator, my own goal is to figure out the best approach for each student to learn for their own particular style, transcend the content we are approaching, and observe the world through the logical lens of science. My hobbies include sports of all sorts, guitar, drawing/painting, cooking, gaming, and I myself am learning Spanish and how to carve wood.... To teach...

...confident that I can help my students find success. When I'm not tutoring I keep myself busy with many other things. I love theatre, and I have performed in dozens of community, school, and professional productions in the past. I also adore animals. I volunteer at shelters, shadow veterinarians, and I even have eight cats and two dogs at home! In the time that's remaining, I like to read, hang out with friends, and swim.

...for my work. While at Marquette I also tutored. I think it is extremely important for tutors to be able to help their students learn in what ever way best allows for them to understand the material. Every student has a different learning type and it is up to their tutor to figure out what that type is and apply teaching styles that will benefit that individual. Besides working as a microbiologist I also am...

...understanding in these two particular subjects! I also genuinely enjoy algebra and statistics and am quite the grammarian. From preschool to college, I actually loved going to school every day and learning, and I hope to bring that love to others, also! I spent the fall of 2014 in Montpellier, France, and there I worked on mastering the French language. When I am not studying, you can find me doing a puzzle, baking, reading, going...

...feel disconnected with what I was learning. This issue affected my foundational knowledge in sciences and it took me time to realize that without understanding the basics it becomes seemingly impossible to incur further knowledge. It is evident that many concepts are a continuum and by building upon previous knowledge can help consolidate new information. I find this as a paradigm in my learning philosophy; to thoroughly understand an essential point before moving on to...

...on developing a strong understanding of the core concepts, you can make even the most complicated material accessible and applicable without the need for hours spent on rote memorization. This method has proven to instill a deep working knowledge of the material in students of all ages that will stay with them long after they pass the test. In my spare time I'm a comedian who enjoys both comedy improvisation and stand up, and I'm...

...learning style that best serves you - this is where I feel tutors can provide assistance in order to keep up your confidence and progress. I greatly enjoy teaching and tutoring in the biological and physical sciences, many levels of math, and Spanish. Also,I have taken many standardized examinations on my way to medical school and tutor in ACT, GRE and MCAT test preparation. When not tutoring, I enjoy cooking, listening to and playing music,...

After completing my organic chemistry course at Loyola University Chicago, my professor hired me as a TA, and I maintained that job for one year until I graduated. I am also a certified MCAT/ACT instructor. Additionally, I've spent over one year as a tutor at the tutoring center at Loyola University Chicago. I enjoy tutoring one-on-one much more...

...traumatic brain injury and Alzheimer's Disease. All of these experiences show that I have a passion for learning about a broad variety of topics, and I continue to push the boundaries of my knowledge everyday. I will pass my love for learning to the best of my ability to the best of my ability. So not only will the student learn the material, they will learn how to learn, and they will love to learn...

I transferred to Queens University after high school graduation; there I was offered a position as a physics and organic chemistry tutor my junior and senior year.

I taught Math, Physics, and Chemistry with a focus on critical thinking and study skills in an underserved rural secondary school. I especially enjoyed teaching math because it was a language my students and I shared, and I believe they enjoyed it as well. Often times my students would come to...

...that makes sense to them. My tutoring philosophy revolves around the Socratic method: namely, I try to help the student discover the subject for themselves versus me simply giving them the answers. I believe that (guided) personal discovery leads not only to greater understanding, but greater knowledge retention as well. Additionally, as someone who played Division III basketball in college, I have also been doing private basketball lessons where many of the same concepts, albeit...

...resident physician at Northwestern Hospital. My favorite part about teaching is trying to convey to my students how I think through a problem and adapting that to their learning process. I think I am talented at helping people understand topics by explaining each step, as necessary, to demonstrate how to go about solving a problem. My education has provided me with expertise in the biological sciences, medicine, math, statistics, english, writing, and test preparation, among...

...a Bachelor of Science degree in Cellular and Molecular Biology by the University of South Florida and subsequently pursued and received a Master of Arts degree in Biomedical Sciences at Midwestern University. Currently I am awaiting word from various medical schools to hopefully begin pursuing a professional degree in Osteopathic Medicine.
