Benjamin is different from traditional teachers in that he teaches his students high level principles (NOT rote formula/rule memorization) using fun and often-times silly analogies to keep them engaged and interested. One of the key commonalities among the worlds fastest learners is that they learn how high level principles in one field cross-relate to other seemingly unrelated fields. Benjamin believes that if he can inspire his students to see connections between high level principles in math or science and those of some real-life subjects like dance or football, then he walks away a happy teacher and his students walk away with a very bright future. As a techy nerd, Benjamin learns best by visualizing, but if his students are more kinesthetically/feelings oriented, he has plenty of experience in theatre improvisation to creatively engage them using stories. Benjamin has over 100 hours of official tutoring, including professional math/science tutoring with two top tutoring agencies, and plenty of informal (free) tutoring as the go-to smart guy in most of his math/science classes since junior year in high school. Additionally, he has taught Stanford graduate students in 2 graduate level engineering courses as a teaching assistant during his PhD.Benjamin has five goals with each new student:1. Identify the studnts goal, their strengths, their weaknesses, and map out a timeline of mini-goals to achieve their overall goal.2. Fill in any gaps in high level understanding through student-tailored and fun mini-lectures.3. Introduce a powerful 4 step problem solving strategy that Benjamin uses for everything from math/science all the way to cooking.4. Guide the student from relatively simple exercises through progressively more difficult exercises which will guarantee early wins and build confidence in a healthy way.5. Habituate the student with AT LEAST one powerful yet simple study habit out of the many good study habits that Benjamin has in his arsenal.Benjamin got his B.S. in Chemical Engineering (Summa Cum Laude) and another B.S. in Mechanical Engineering (Summa Cum Laude) from Rutgers University. After a grueling 5 years and one first author academic publication, he moved on to his PhD at Stanford University to try to save the environment by discovering better renewable technology. He finished his PhD and a 2 year post-doctoral fellowship in Sweden. Benjamin says that he was probably on track for a professorship, but between the middle of his PhD studies and the end of his Post-doc, he decided scientific research was not for him anymore. During and after this shift, he has been exploring lots of different learning experiences in hopes of finding his true purpose in life. While living in Sweden, he started a theatre improvisation group and then he spent 9 months in South America exploring and becoming fluent in Spanish. After coming back to the real world, he started tutoring again and realized that teaching and learning go hand in hand. Not only does he take pride in seeing the look in his students faces when they figure out a concept but he has also become a better learner!Please note: Benjamin only works with a limited number of students to ensure top notch tutoring. His space is therefore limited.

My name is Karlin. I am an experienced tutor and education support professional. I am open to students of all backgrounds, and I have mostly worked with undergraduate students. I have a significant educational background in all Social Sciences, Anatomy, Exercise Science and Nutrition. My desire is to help students successfully grow and truly learn what they need to proper. I have the experience, education and the desire to help you achieve academic excellence and grow as a person.

I am a biomedical engineering student, going into my 4th year, at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. Engineering involves a great deal of math and science, thus I offer tutoring for all ages of math as well as basic chemistry and physics. I think math is such an essential aspect of everyone's education, and a basic understanding of numbers can be applicable in everyday life. As a young student, I remember math having a bad reputation among other students, and I want to change that. Students need to develop a positive association with numbers at a young age so they can be more successful in the future. I have previously tutored elementary aged children in basic mathematics, and I am currently employed at a tutor center focused on math. At the center, I work with students of all ages from preschool to college. In schools, math class is very dependent on memorization which I believe is more harmful than helpful. Students really need a strong understanding of numbers in order to progress. I have learned many mental strategies myself that will help students advance. Outside of school and work, I love to spend time on the lakes in MN, travel, golfing, playing tennis, and spending time with my friends and family.

I graduated from Columbia with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. My love of learning has sparked my involvement in biology and astrophysics research as well as publishing art and writing. I am bilingual; I grew up speaking both English and Spanish at home. My engineering background has given me a firm grasp on STEM subjects. I am also passionate about the humanities because they enrich our lives with meaning and purpose. In college, I was part of the Undergraduate Recruitment Committee and a trained tour guide. I am excited about helping students present their best selves in the admissions process and finding the right fit in a school.

I am passionate about figuring out how to help students find their strengths. I enjoy helping students create goals and self-motivation. I have worked with students of all ages. Most of my experience is with kindergarten and first grade students. Currently, I work with high school students. I have a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Special Education from Radford University.I tutor special education, reading, writing, phonics, elementary school subjects, and study skills. I teach to student interests and strengths. I like to find fun music, games, and different ways to help students remember the content.Outside of teaching and tutoring, I enjoy riding horses and spending time with my family. I also like going to the beach.

I am a very creative an innovative STEM Instructor. Currently I'm teaching 10-12th grade math (Algebra 1, 2, and Geometry) for a public high school in my district. I have a bachelor's degree in mathematics and a masters degree in education. I also have 17 years of experience working with students from ages 4-75 in states all across the country! I have taught a wide variety of subjects spanning from elementary math, middle school math, high school math, high school science, ACT/SAT prep, business math, and Microsoft office. I enjoy finding new ways of helping students learn concepts and ideas that they have previously struggled with. I focus on hands on learning and making real world connections to help students understand challenging subjects!

I am a current Senior at Macalester College majoring in Economics with a minor in Geography. I started tutoring in high school through the honors society. Since I've moved to the Twin Cities I have tutored many students in helping them to achieve state standards. I also enjoy tutoring for standardized tests, specifically the ACTs. I think that having a great tutor can make such a difference in someone's life. Education is so important and having a tutor there to assist you in all your learning goals can make such a difference for a scholar. Outside of tutoring, I love to play soccer, run, play cricket, cook and learn about urban history. I make our tutoring sessions personal and fun to make sure that the scholar is interested in learning and, more importantly, enjoying learning.

Hi! My name is Mark, and I graduated from Montgomery Bell Academy here in Nashville, TN and am currently enrolled at Texas Christian University as part of their honors program. I am a huge sports fan, especially with college sports. I also have a strong passion for service, as I lead and participate in many projects every year.In high school, I was a 2X team captain of the varsity air rifle team, as well as a letter winner on the varsity track and field team. I was the treasurer of the service club, secretary of the hispanic achievers club, the project manger for 2 service projects, and the founder of another. I was inducted into three honorary societies at my high school: The MLK society for service work, the National Hispanic Honor Society for Spanish, and Totomoi (The highest honor at my school for well roundedness in arts, athletics, academics, and service.)I have a strong passion for Spanish. I have studied Spanish for four years in high school, including taking AP Spanish Language and AP Spanish Literature. I spent the summer between my sophomore and junior year studying in the Middlebury Language Immersion Program, and the next summer studying in Bogota, Colombia while living with a host family from Argentina!

I was born and raised in China. Mandarin is my native language and I speak English fluently. I earned Master's degrees of Sociology in both China and the U.S. Having taught at colleges and Chinese schools in the U.S., I have gained experiences in teaching adults and children in both private tutoring and large class settings. I have taught elementary students Mandarin, adult students Conversation. I believe that teaching is a process both instructor and students are integral part of the process. As an instructor, my job is to motivate students and provide them tools and tips for learning Chinese. Everyone is unique and so are their learning habits. My pedagogy will be adapted to meet student's needs. As a mother of a ten-year-old girl, I speak Chinese with my daughter everyday. We ride bikes, go to Jersey beach, and jog in parks in our spare time.

I am a student at the University of Delaware majoring in Elementary Education with a concentration in Teaching English as a Second Language and a minor in Disability Studies. Prior to college, I tutored 3rd graders of varying socioeconomic backgrounds in ELA and math. For five years, I led whole-class and one-on-one lessons for 4th and 5th graders at my local synagogue. During the summers, I've been a camp counselor for kindergarteners, 1st graders, and 2nd graders. I have also tutored middle school students in math and ELA. While I can tutor a broad range of subjects for elementary school students, I have the most experience with reading, writing, and math. Math can be a difficult subject for many students, but it is fun to work together to develop new skills and work our way through problems. I believe every student deserves to learn in a way that is right for them, and I try to work with students to find out how they learn best. In my spare time, I enjoy playing the piano and guitar and painting.
