...week. I enjoy tutoring organic and physical chemistry, but I am most passionate about general chemistry because it provides the foundation for thinking about chemical reactions between molecules; the knowledge of which all later chemistry subjects rely upon. In my experience teaching and tutoring, a mixture of conceptual discussions and problem solving has been most effective for helping struggling students. In addition, I have found that relating chemistry concepts and problems to topics that are...

I have an M.Ed in Special Needs and Inclusive Education. I have worked for the past several years one-on-one with with neurodiverse students, particularly those with autism and ADHD.

...enough credits (English, Biology, Calculus) to be a sophomore, technically. I used the openings that created to explore some unusual subjects: golf, martial arts, and living in Mexico for a semester. When I continued on to my MS, I had a graduate fellowship with the Political Science department. That gave me my first opportunity to teach, freshman American Government. I am curious by nature. I see learning as an adventure. You never know where it...

...the design of teaching the close reading of texts to foster a deep understanding of the ways writers use language to provide both meaning and pleasure for readers. Considering a work's structure, style, and themes as well as such smaller-scale elements as the use of figurative language, imagery, symbolism, and tone are the focus of my instruction. Writing is an integral part of my teaching core and I am comfortable teaching expository, analytical, and argumentative...

...reading off formulas or having students memorize definitions. I've found that it is also helpful to give students scenarios and examples that incorporate topics or hobbies they enjoy. In my experience, and despite what some people may initially believe, it is usually very easy to help students visualize math concepts or provide memorable activities that can make the topics seem less overwhelming and/or confusing. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with friends and...

...that tutoring was something I really enjoyed, and I began my professional tutoring career. I've been going strong for almost seven years.

In terms of ages I am best suited for the high school and college levels, although I do enjoy helping with younger...

...Science and History which are the two subjects I look most forward to assisting students with through tutoring.

My hope is to help you get your dream score and attend the law school of your dream by creating and executing an organized...

...school afternoons were spent volunteering at my local emergency room; cooking and preparing food at a nearby homeless shelter; or providing free tutoring to elementary students living at or near the poverty line. Working with these kids is what got me interested in tutoring. When Im not working with younger students, I enjoy tutoring courses like Spanish, Biology, and Environmental Science because they really push students to understand and not just memorize. I know that...

...tutor English (for the ACT, for APs, writing, and the general subject), math (pre-algebra, algebra, and ACT math), psychology, social sciences, and Hebrew. My favorite subject to tutor is psychology because I love the subject! As a tutor, I aspire to make sure my student truly understands the material, rather than just knows how to answer the question.When I'm not tutoring, I enjoy reading, walking, and hanging out with friends (and my dog).

...fellow at Chapman University. I love studying biology and have also helped students learn English while living abroad. I have been tutoring and teaching for about seven years, but watching students light up when they are excited to learn something new never gets old to me. I believe every student's learning experience is unique and I tailor how I teach to accomodate this. My favourite strategy is helping students find ways in which the subject...

...Kent State University with an English degree and Writing minor. Like any English major, I love to read and write short stories.

...years and before becoming an educator, I spent 6 years in the Army as an Air Traffic Controller. I have enjoyed the transition from soldier to educator and it is my mission to continue serving. I believe students are partners the learning process and that they learn best from educators who believe in building and maintaining positive relationships. I always strive to provide diverse, engaging, and thought-provoking instruction that motivates my scholars to achieve greatness...

...developed a hybrid approach to teaching which incorporates different aspects of various styles and gives me the flexibility to tailor a personal style that is right for each student and their coursework. My favorite subject to tutor is reading. Reading was difficult for me as a student, especially during high school and college. I feel that so much time is spent teaching students to learn to read and never enough time teaching them to read...
