...in writing and reading, since I have experience as a professional copy editor. My focus when tutoring is student understanding. I believe academic goals are more readily achievable when concepts are understood, rather than formulas memorized. When helping students prepare for standardized tests I focus on taking practice exams and working with students on the areas they need the most help. Outside of school I enjoy hiking, gardening, reading, and cooking. I like to explore...

...worked and volunteered as a teacher for students of all ages, gaining significant experience in tutoring a wide variety of subjects. From ESL to public speaking, I have had the chance to help students make remarkable advancements in both confidence and competency levels.

...partaken in many formal tutoring programs, such as a class in my high school in which the subject material was the best way to encourage and motivate students for long term success.

I believe that every person has the capacity for any subject,...

...my Bachelor's and a 4.0 in my Master's. Although I teach special education, I have a desire to help all students. I currently host after school tutoring on the 6th grade campus for which I work, and I enjoy working with general education students as much as I do with students who have special needs. I currently teach sixth grade, but when I am not teaching I enjoy playing tennis, reading, cooking, baking, hiking, and...

...to me for a single session or we meet every week for a semester, I believe the first step to success with tutoring is to work together to set clear expectations. This lets us work toward the same goal, and makes it simple to set milestones to get there. Any problem area in any subject can be broken into smaller and smaller pieces, until suddenly you realize there was never a problem to begin with.

...where the student is, I can work towards explaining the material to the point where the student needs to be. I do this by clarifying the simple side of the concepts the student needs to learn and then working on increasing the difficulty. Every student is unique and will require that I explain these concepts differently; if a student learns by working through examples, verbal explanations, or learns through pictures, I can do that. At...

...understanding all subjects using the right learning tools! I enjoy making a connection with each and every one of my students by spending the time to learn about them personally, what their interests are, what their family is like and what type of learners they are so we can use that towards their success. I personally love to read, watch football (HUGE Green Bay Packers and Oregon Ducks fan!) enjoy anything outdoors, I am an...

...about and learn more of the world, but it's the best system we've got. Yet even still, it isn't perfect. People learn in different ways, and sitting in a classroom isn't always going to allow for optimal learning conditions. That's where I come in. By tutoring, myself and others are able to directly work with individuals until comprehension, understanding, and eureka moments abound. I am personally most interested in languages, math, history, literature, music, all...

...University. I have a passion for reading and love to help my students find their own passion as well. I have taught all grade levels from 4th grade through 10th grade, and have extensive experience with middle school.

Aside from Mathematics, I am also enthusiastic about tutoring Spanish linguistics, explaining psychological concepts, and editing papers for both mechanical errors and content expression.

I played soccer at Mesa Community College and club soccer at Arizona State University. Now I...

...one at G.C.U. on a Nursing scholarship; while the youngest is just deciding on his major, it's looking like it will be Medicine. I have two Bachelor's degrees from A.S.U. in Art History and Business Administration. My Master's degrees are in Education from both N.A.U. and A.S.U. However, I enjoy writing and that joy extends to the reading of other's written pieces. When I'm not reading or writing, I ride horses or ATV's, run with...

...enriching experience. I treat each student as if they were my son or daughter, making sure they are in a comfortable and safe learning environment. I love to think outside the box when it comes to planning lessons, applying student interests and hobbies when possible. This act gives each lesson my personal touch. I believe communication is key when building that student-teacher bond. The more communication there is, the more trust is earned. If the...

I am a very fun tutor that enjoys challenging the student to do their...

...enjoyed the state since. During my first semester, I worked as a teaching assistant and was responsible for four lab sections of undergraduate engineering students. At the same time, I also performed robotics research in the Biomechatronics Lab under the direction of Dr. Veronica Santos. This research continued until her departure to UCLA. At this time, I am beginning work in the SpaceTREx laboratory and will be focused on space-oriented robotics. In my spare time...

...math classes as part of my membership in the Institute of Industrial Engineers during my years in college, and have worked in an elementary school environment where my duties as a technology coordinator occasionally required me to instruct students. For me, the biggest thrill in any job is visibly seeing that "light bulb moment" as someone crosses the boundary between confusion and understanding. Thank you for taking the time to consider me for your tutor,...

...grade special education in a resource room setting. I teach various ability levels in the subject areas of writing, math, and reading.

My tutoring experience includes: tutoring African refugees living in Oregon, tutoring children in Ecuador, teaching preschool as an AmeriCorps member in a low-income community in California, and tutoring children living with their...

...sunshine we have in Arizona each year! I love to read all types of books- especially comics. Calvin and Hobbes is my favorite comic series, so you might see those two pop up in our lessons now and then. Because I'm bit of a nerd, I'm constantly striving to learn more and am hoping that together, we will grow as modern thinkers and doers, throughout the course. Oh, and by the way, thanks to three...

Reading is one of my favorite hobbies. I truly believe that good reading...
