By engaging students in interactive discussions, I encourage curiosity and intellectual exploration. I help students learn how to think not what to think. By learning to think critically, students are able to maximize their potential to excel in math and science...

...tutoring! I tutor Biology, Ecology, and standardized test prep. From high school to Stanford, I have learned that lectures are often difficult for students to follow. They can lose confidence in subjects because the information is not presented in a way that is effective for their learning. My job is to work with students to figure out the best way to learn challenging material. This may involve breaking down complicated ideas into consumable parts, discussing...

...school, I spent my lunch hour tutoring students who were struggling in their classes. Initially, I found this difficult; it was a challenge determining exactly where a student's understanding of a topic was faulty. Over time, however, I developed a keener sense for the hurdles that students sometimes face when learning, as well as the most efficient ways to overcome them. I also developed more patience and empathy through tutoring - I often remembered feeling...

...words and spread their message to the world. My favorite part of tutoring is helping others express themselves, and my methods get results. I have had many students come back to me again and again to help them with assignments due to the positive feedback they have received on assignments I've helped them with. I also have firsthand experience as a test-taker, having taken the ACT, PSAT, SAT, LSAT, and GRE and received above 90th...

...be best described as knowledge gap identification. I believe that the single most important thing for learning, after attitude, is identifying exactly what information has been miscommunicated. After this step, almost any person can learn any subject with enough patience. I moved to Arizona after accepting ASU's offer and have 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....

...English department's efforts to devise a semester-long graduate course preparing enrollees to teach literature at the college level. My doctorate is in 20th- and 21st-Century British Literature, but my dissertation and much of my subsequent scholarship connects to the field of postcolonial studies, principally literary texts from South Asia. I feel deeply honored and constantly enthused to be part of a student's encounters with literature through high school and beyond. I have received various awards...

I have 37 years of teaching - special education in Tempe School District, 32 years with Mesa Public Schools, and over 20 years teaching teachers how to teach reading. I have been retired three years, and I miss teaching so I am happy to be able to teach again!

...teaching and tutoring. These experiences roughly fall into two major areas- the sciences, and the humanities. In the sciences, I've worked with both peers and younger students in a number of biomedical fields, and I also have experience preparing students for standardized tests like the MCAT. At Rice University, I also worked as a teaching assistant in Cell Biology, where I lectured at review sessions, assisted students individually with their questions, and even wrote some...

...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 forms of art, scientific investigation of...

...into reality, concreting what you know and leaving you with a desire to find out more. I attended college at Northwest Missouri State University and received a B.S. in ACS-accredited Chemistry in 2008. I have therefore had a lot of chemistry, including organic and p-chem as well as algebra, trig, geometry and multi-variate calculus. While I was a tutor for the Chemistry/Physics department (and asked to tutor College Lit and Bio labs) I actually had...

...topics in aquatic ecology. Understanding the connectedness and patterns of environmental processes in aquatic ecosystems drives my passion to become an ecologist! My goal is to help students view learning as a positive experience! When students learn with me, they usually find that it is a very relaxed, hands-on, and visual process. I excel at tutoring biological subjects, but I also really enjoy helping students improve their writing and standardized testing skills. Every student is...

...subjects from Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Materials Engineering just to name a few. A few of my strengths are patience and my ability to make my students think hard. I have received multiple positive reviews from my previous students who because of my teaching style came to love subjects they thought they did not have the ability to grasp. I am passionate about my students understanding what I teach them and making sure that from the...

I want to equip learners with the tools they need to be successful outside of our sessions. I have experience working with students with a variety of special needs, including ADHD, autism, behavioral issues, and lack of motivation. My approach to test prep sessions is to equip...

...or do them in my head... I'm there! Science for me is always a hot topic, whether talking or listening. I've been told I should be a teacher, but I don't really like classrooms, so here I am tutoring. I've mentored countless high school and college students in science (Physics, General Chemistry, Biology, Anatomy & Physiology) and math (Arithmetic, Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Statistics), and I'm here to share my gift.
