...for some of the top tier global wind power companies. In 2017, I co-founded a wind power business that has been funded by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, US Department of Agriculture, and US Air Force. My approach to tutoring math and physics is to incorporate real life use cases. When students see the practical application of a subject, they are more likely to enjoy and understand it. I will incorporate aspects of renewable energy,...

...& Marshall College in Biochemistry and Neuroscience. I have been tutoring for the past 6 years and really enjoy teaching. Ideally I like to find out what the student is studying/struggling with BEFORE I visit so that I can make a visual study guide/review along with a few practice problems so that we can spend our time effectively. My strategy is not to tell students the material, but rather have them understand the concepts for...

...student as an individual, working with their strengths, interests, and unique approaches to problem-solving to better improve their comprehension of a subject. For instance, while I was substituting at the Loomis Chaffee School, I made it a policy to find at least three different ways of explaining a new concept to my classes, and I kept long office hours and provided my email in order to enable my students to approach me with questions whenever...

...during my junior and senior years. I was qualified to tutor a wide variety of subjects, anywhere from chemistry to oceanography. I was the only tutor for biostatistics, a notorious class at my university. I am a big fan of the Socratic method. I believe all students have the ability to come up with the answers, they just need to know where to look. I hope, through my methods, I help students learn skills to...

...comprehension is absolutely essential to a successful education. As a tutor I focus on presenting material in a number of ways to accommodate all learning styles and making material relevant to the student. Helping students overcome the anxieties that so often accompany learning Math at the earliest and most crucial stages means helping students think about the material in a way that is meaningful to them and teaching them to relate Math to their own...

...well as Global Health and Environment. I have been tutoring for four years in a broad range of subjects including Algebra, Biology, Chemistry, English, and SAT prep.

As a tutor, I think it is critical to not only teach the student but also foster his/her problem solving skills and confidence in the subject.

...school this fall. I have always really enjoyed working with young people; I volunteered in the children's department of my local library for several years, tutored elementary schoolers while in high school, helped coach youth cheer for a few years, and taught a class at a local middle school this past semester. While I tutor a variety of subjects, I am most passionate about Math and Sciences, and especially love using pictures and short video...

...to engage with my students. I may ask them more questions than they ask me. I do this in order to determine where any fundamental misunderstandings exist. I find that in most instances, confused students are unclear on one or two simple, yet important ideas. Clearing these up, and deliberately following their implications, can make students have a much better level of understanding while also feeling confident in their knowledge. This processes defines my style...

...science from a variety of different age groups. These experiences have taught me how to tailor my teaching methods to a particular student.

I have spent the last 10 years advancing my understanding of Biology and Chemistry and I enjoy using this knowledge to help make science less confusing and more fun for others. In my free...

...multiple choice exams and test-taking strategies. I really like to stress a knowledge of material, but I also am very big on studying smarter, not harder. Additionally, graduate school has prepared me very well for subjects such as anatomy and physiology. I would venture to say that I am proficient in these subjects, and I am more than capable of helping you learn these subjects for life. Please let me know if my strengths might...

...my approach to the verbal section, where we work on decoding the questions and narrowing answer choices based on the type of question. I focus on a strong understanding of the concepts being tested as well as on test-taking skills. After working together, all of my students feel more comfortable entering the exam and sure of their own abilities, and nearly all of my students end up meeting or exceeding their original score goals.

...sciences, natural sciences, english, math) and have tutored in secondary, elementary, and early learning settings (especially in mathematics). I also have several years of experience working with children. I believe any academic concept can be taught to any student, as long as it is visualized in the way that reaches the student the best. I place a lot of importance on visual learning, diagrams, and analogies. Other than biology, I have a passion for drawing,...

...the common struggles that students have in STEM courses, particularly biology. I have experienced many of these frustrations myself and feel I have become a stronger student and teacher because of them.
