I tutor pretty much anything related to English, history, and classics, as well as test prep for the relevant segments of the...

...students in preparing for state standardized tests, the PSAT, and the SAT. I recently prepared for and did well on the GRE as I am enrolled in a Mathematics Master's program. I would love to pass on study tips for all of these tests and help students to prepare for the math sections of them. I believe that every student can learn math but that all students learn in different ways. As a trained teacher...

...would approach it in different ways until something clicked and and I felt like I had mastered it. I was really impressed by the difference his patience made and I love tutoring because it helps me do that for other people.

...and teachers are the door-keepers. If you do a good job and are able to establish rapport, create a comfortable learning environment, and have the ability to impart knowledge you will have an impact on that persons life. The impact of course, can also be a negative one. However, if you can effectively communicate with the learner and adjust to their learning style, you will open doors. I think that making that connection defines the...

...to 8th grade. From my experience, I have realized that while I tutor in many subjects, I especially love tutoring students in mathematics, particularly Algebra I, standardized test prep, general Chemistry, and French. My goal is to find the best method of teaching that works for each individual student, and I am dedicated to putting in a lot of time and effort to making sure my students really grasp the concepts with which they request...

...was teaching math to a student who was smart but math wasn't his thing. At the end of the tutoring session, I got him to say "wow", and he was someone that looked hard to impress, and of course math is a topic that is hard to impress with in general.

...the two subjects that I am most passionate about (although I love Math as well!). I am passionate about the importance of teaching each student individually because every student has their own set of gifts and challenges and what may work for one student may be totally different than what works for another.

...is a very rewarding task. I myself used to struggle with math and reading until I had a tutor. I understand the importance of learning and feel that it is the responsibility of those that can teach to do so. Helping a student realize that they already have the knowledge and ability to answer even the most complex questions will be extremely rewarding. My focus will be on helping your student unlock those capabilities.

...have a personal relationship with the teacher. Therefore, I seek to create meaningful relationships with my students by giving positive reinforcements and getting to know their personalities and preferences. I believe that humor is a necessary part of teaching. You can expect to laugh and feel a sense of ease and calm when we work together! I am very passionate about helping all students achieve their goals through frequent communication of expectations and I look...

I have been tutoring students since high school and understand physics and math can be difficult to comprehend. With my background in physic I know I can help student better understand mathematics and it's applications. In my spare time I enjoy running, hiking, and long rides on my bicycle.

I believe that math doesn't have to be hard as long as you break it down to bite size chunks. You don't eat a three course meal in one bite, and it's meant to be enjoyed.

...I have taught not only were the best students a new teacher could ask for, but also taught me a few things. Remote learning was new to the teaching world, and my students guided me through the challenges and for that I will forever be grateful to them.

I love helping others learn new concepts. When students, whom I teach, learn, I also learn with them.

I am very open minded and ready to hear others ideas. ... Be patient and understand the one you are teaching.... Introductions and icebreakers...
