Most recently, I earned my doctorate in biology from Boston College conducting award-winning research as part of a leading team in the field of AIDS research. Prior to this, I worked as a research assistant at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston studying inflammation associated with kidney disease. I received my B.A. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, cum laude, from Boston University.My educational experience includes freelance tutoring in the United States and in Italy, NSF-funded training programs to learn curriculum development and student assessment techniques, and eight semesters of teaching Principles of Immunology and Molecular and Cellular Biology at Boston College. I specialize in teaching math and science, with a focus on helping the student achieve a conceptual understanding of the material that can be applied to situations outside of a textbook.In addition to helping students direct their talents towards a successful future, I also enjoy Italian language and culture, visual and performing arts, literature, and a well-prepared meal. I am also passionate about contemporary human rights issues including access to education, LGBT health, and gender equality.

ACCUPLACER Language Use Tutor • +51 Subjects

I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Interior Design and a Master of Fine Art in Ecological Architecture. Both schools I attended were quite small and I thrived on the personal attention. I brought that along with me into my teaching; working one-on-one with students is a vital ingredient to their success. Over 12 years of teaching, I have received much personal gratification from watching firsthand the growth and development of my students. Learning should be fun, with delicious little moments of satisfaction that we want to experience again and again.

Richard

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +11 Subjects

I finished my college education in 2001 by earning my Ph.D. in economics from Texas Tech University. I have been a college-level economics teacher beginning in 1992 and have been teaching economics students since then. Over the years, I have learned much more about the economics discipline itself, how economists do economics. Throughout my career, I have treated all my students as adults, respecting their ideas and opinions, having learned as much from them as they have learned from me. Believing all learning is initiated from a point of knowledge, I want to know where students are in their programs, what are their strengths and weaknesses especially. I help them leverage their strengths in addressing their weaknesses. This in the end makes for a more confident student, someone who not only believes they can accomplish that which they face on their own, but one who will overcome their challenges and will accomplish their goals. This approach is what I have taken over my lifetime in regards my own learning needs and as lifetime learner. I attest this approach to life has been enjoyably fruitful.

Aurelio

Beginner Spanish for Adults Tutor • +9 Subjects

As an educator, my teaching philosophy rests upon three fundamental pillars, each of which forms the basis for my approach to fostering a rich and meaningful learning environment. These pillars are rooted in the belief that education is a collaborative endeavor, that addressing individual student needs is paramount, and that equipping students with valuable tools for lifelong learning is essential.First and foremost, I view education as a collaborative endeavor between the teacher and the students. I believe that the classroom should be a space where ideas are shared, questions are encouraged, and knowledge is co-constructed. By fostering an inclusive and participatory learning environment, I aim to empower students to actively engage with the subject matter, take ownership of their learning journey, and develop critical thinking skills. Through meaningful discussions, group projects, and interactive activities, I strive to create a dynamic classroom atmosphere that values diverse perspectives and encourages students to learn from one another.Secondly, I strongly believe in the importance of addressing individual student needs. Each student possesses a unique set of strengths, challenges, and learning styles. Recognizing these differences, I aim to create a student-centered learning environment that caters to the diverse needs of my students. By employing varied instructional strategies, differentiated assessments, and personalized support, I strive to create opportunities for every student to succeed and reach their full potential. I am committed to fostering a positive and inclusive classroom culture where students feel seen, heard, and valued, ensuring that their individual voices and experiences are acknowledged and integrated into the learning process.Lastly, I am dedicated to equipping students with the necessary tools for lifelong learning. In today's rapidly changing world, it is crucial for students to develop the skills and attitudes that will enable them to adapt, learn, and thrive beyond the classroom. I endeavor to cultivate a love for learning and a growth mindset in my students, emphasizing the development of critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills. Furthermore, I aim to instill in my students a sense of intellectual curiosity, a passion for lifelong learning, and an understanding of how to access and evaluate information in an increasingly complex digital landscape. By providing them with the necessary tools, resources, and guidance, I aspire to empower my students to become self-directed learners who can navigate the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.In conclusion, my teaching philosophy revolves around three main pillars: education as a collaborative endeavor, addressing individual student needs, and providing useful tools for lifelong learning. By embracing these principles, I am committed to creating a vibrant and inclusive learning environment where students actively participate in their education, their individuality is valued and supported, and they are equipped with the skills and mindset required for lifelong learning and success.

Michael

6th Grade Math Tutor • +59 Subjects

I attained my degree in Cell and Molecular Biology at Missouri State University, where I graduated in December of 2014. Along with this degree, I acquired minors in Chemistry and Business. I am currently enrolled at the University of Missouri-Kansas City as a dental student. I will be graduating with my Doctor of Dental Surgery in May of 2019. While attending Missouri State, I worked in our tutoring center as a science tutor for several years. The majority of students that came for assistance were working with general chemistry. I frequently helped with other courses, such as Anatomy and Physiology, Organic Chemistry, Biology, and Genetics. I am also qualified to tutor other science courses such as Biochemistry, Cell Biology, and Molecular Biology. I was also in a fraternity at Missouri State, where I would frequently help younger members with their classes. I would do a lot of paper editing, and I have a very keen eye for grammar and sentence structure. I also have experience with math tutoring and am capable of tutoring all math courses up to Algebra. I have assisted a few of my cousins who are in middle and high school, in addition to assisting some of my friends in preparation for the GRE, particularly with Quantitative Reasoning.My favorite subjects to tutor are Anatomy/Physiology and math. Anatomy and Physiology are fun to tutor because there is a lot of logic involved with them and by ensuring the understanding of the basic concepts with these courses, you can logically work through any complex question presented to you. These classes also get you to think deeper than a surface level or just the memorization of facts, which I believe is what learning actually is. Math is also one of my favorite classes to tutor because I have a very solid understanding of it. Similar to Anatomy and Physiology, math uses a lot of logic, which allows you to understand and learn concepts that will stick with you rather than learning them for a test and then discarding this information.I would like to describe my teaching philosophy as a means of challenging students. It is essential to initially evaluate what information the student knows and what they are struggling with. This enables me to encourage the student and compliment them on what they know, while still targeting the other areas they are not as comfortable with at the same time. Once I know the concepts a student is comfortable with, I can expand from these so students can understand more complex concepts holistically rather than as different segments. I like to challenge students by questioning them as we work through a problem. By challenging students to work through a problem based on their knowledge, it allows them to see possible flaws with their logic so they will not make the same mistake in the future. This also enhances their understanding of a concept because they are seeing where the mistake was rather than me simply pointing it out to them.Outside of academia, I am interested in a variety of things. As I briefly mentioned, I was in a fraternity at Missouri State. I enjoy being very social and networking with a lot of people. I was also in an organization called University Ambassadors in college. With this organization, I served as the public relations team for the university by coordinating and giving tours to prospective students and their families. I am also interested in sports. In high school, I played basketball, baseball, and soccer. I have continued to play sports at a recreational level throughout my college career at Missouri State and University of Missouri-Kansas City. I enjoy going to family functions and embracing those who are close to me.
