...My tutoring strategy is to tackle topics of highest combined difficulty and priority first, and to do so in a manner that accommodates both myself and my student. I've found in past teaching experiences that the most rewarding and meaningful results come from direct engagement with students, and so that is what I aim to do. I've had experience with several modes of teaching and learning, and I am confident that I can successfully adapt...

...to help someone who struggles with academics. In my academic years I was an introvert. It was very difficult for me to engage in questions in the class setting. I am certain I would have benefited from a tutor for some of the difficult classes I had to take to earn my science degree. It is my greatest wish to help students who may struggle as I did in the classroom setting.

...and interests. After all, the point of learning a concept is to apply it to something else in the world. Why not learn math, science, and reading with a real-world focus?!

...School Science, math, Social Studies, English, and reading. I love tutoring in science and reading because I am a bookworm that thinks science rules! I believe that every student can succeed in their goals, intrinsic motivation is extremely powerful, and you should never stop learning. I try to make tutoring sessions fun and let students explore and make their own connections. In my spare time I love to knit, watch movies, draw, and read.

I find joy in helping students meet their educational needs and helping them succeed wherever their learning takes them. As Albert Einstein indicated, "Education is not the learning of facts but the training of the mind to think." To think about your thinking is the key to education and represents my goal as a tutor. You see, critical-thinking is the pathway to engaged learning.

...where I helped engineering students grapple with complex math and physics problems. However, much of my teaching method revolves around developing a solid base for learning in order to build confidence and strategies for tackling even the most difficult problems. In my experience, once these subjects seem less intimidating, success and even enjoyment follow. I am able to tutor math from elementary level algebra and geometry to college level calculus, differential equations, and physics. If...

I am outgoing and energetic and enjoy finding the unique strengths of each student. I enjoy hiking, biking, stain glass, camping, and piano. I lived in...

...on their own before giving them guidance so that they can develop confidence in their own ability to approach similar challenges independently. I have many hobbies outside of my academic pursuits. I enjoy reading a variety of genres especially science fiction, fantasy, weird fiction, and all sorts of non-fiction. I sometimes try my hand at writing short stories or poetry. I also frequently play musical instruments and listen to music. I play the guitar, mandolin,...

While I am not a full-time teacher, I have had experience tutoring student-athletes here at UW. I love all aspects of teaching, not only making sure that you understand the material but also developing a process of getting where you want to be, regardless of your goals. I try to make learning...

...animal biotechnology and biomedical science from the University of Massachusetts, and attended veterinary school at Kansas State University. I have worked with students from age 2-18, and have studied a lot with other people during my college education.

...have over five years of teaching and tutoring experience, having worked with children as young as eight exploring circuits for the first time, middle schoolers needing help with written and verbal skills, university students struggling with organic chemistry, and adults brushing up on algebra and biology as they go back to school. I strive to make a positive impact on my students' grade, confidence, and understanding through a calm and supportive attitude.

I recently graduated with a BA in neuroscience from Carthage College. During college, I worked as a lab assistant helping students design, execute, and analyze research projects. Since graduation I have been working towards becoming a medical student. I enjoy tutoring to bring clarity to seemingly complex concepts. Biology is my favorite subject to tutor because most problems boil down to a few core principles with a vast breadth of applications.

...the math resource center. I have come to understand that everyone learns differently and therefore now can adapt to the students and make sure they can receive the material in a meaningful way for them. I have also spent much time checking for understanding with students in a variety of ways. This way I know if they are comprehending the material or if I need to revisit the material and present it in another way.

...I enjoyed organizing and hosting exam review sessions and office hours for Physiology students and Introductory Computer Science. I also joined the peer tutoring space in college where I tutored genetics, physiology, and mathematics. After graduating, I took a gap year to work at a tech company and finish my medical school application. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about MCAT tutoring. I took the MCAT in January 2022...
