...feel like it is applicable to so many parts of life. It is also so fulfilling to see a student improve on the ACT/SAT, making measurable changes and gaining confidence. I???ve always enjoyed math as well, and I enjoy showing students how math can be interesting and fun. My tutoring style is really student-focused. I very much strive to tailor my tutoring to each student???s needs, as every student is unique in their needs and...

...approach new situations without hesitation. My students have statistically been the highest in the school both in their classroom tests and on their standard tests. I've had particular success with closing the gender gap for my classes. On average, boys do 12% better than girls on their standard tests in science and math, but in my classes, there was no gender gap. All students did significantly higher than their school wide and statewide peers. I...

I want to help students understand math and science on a deeper level and build good mathematical and scientific intuition. I work closely with my students to find ways to teach that best complement their learning style.... I want to help students understand that learning for its own sake is more important than learning for any grade, test, or assignment.... I want to get to know the student personally, their strengths and weaknesses, hobbies, favorite and...

...State University studying computer science engineering with a math minor. STEM education was very important to me in my own schooling and I believe every student should try to study STEM subjects. In teaching algebra, calculus, and physics, I like to go in depth with the material to ensure students really understand why the material works. There is a certain beauty in science and math and I encourage students to discover this for themselves.

...is whether or not you can teach it to someone who may not be familiar with the subject matter. This a great challenge, but I enjoy it. I love to see the look on a person's face when they "get it." I have also found that I too learn new things about the subject that I may not have known before. This is a rewarding experience for me. The subjects I am most passionate about...

...from diverse backgrounds and experiences tutoring thermodynamics (my personal favorite), chemistry, and math. I have also tutored in the past for ACT/SAT and other subjects such as history, but I am deeply passionate about science and engineering. I tend to push my students to understand conceptual topics, as opposed to rote or algorithmic learning. In my free time, I love to bake sourdough, learn about history, garden, and recently started biking again.

...concept turn into excitement once he/she has grasped it. In order for a child to succeed, it is key that they are helped through this frustration stage so that they can regain the confidence to tackle any problem put before them. I found it very important to not only help the children I tutored to rebuild their confidence, but to also let them know that success is dependent on how much effort they put into...

...minor in Chemistry, and during my time there, I was also a peer tutor in the Center for Student Progress. I am going to be starting medical school this fall. Before college, I was also a babysitter/tutor for elementary school children in math and reading. I have extensive experience in SAT, ACT, and MCAT prep, a love of physics, and expertise in tutoring from elementary to college level students. I hope to use these to...

...I was able to work 1:1 or in a small group with students. Also, I was able to tailor lessons to meet their learning needs and help them build and enhance their number sense/fluency. Many students were afraid to struggle or make mistakes. I help to build their confidence and reassured them that mathematicians will make mistake and struggle from time to time. My job as an educator has always been to motivate students to...

...to understand the material. Previous clients have told me that I have an interesting way of teaching that they understand better than their classroom teachers. My teaching philosophy is that every student is unique and has the ability to do great things in their lifetime. It is up to their teachers to encourage them and to help them discover their way of learning so that they will not only succeed, but so that they will...

My overall philosophy of teaching is simple: I hope to make the students whom I interact with more curious and interested in the biological sciences, through storytelling and engaged learning. My emphasis is that Science is exciting, dynamic, and fun, not dull dry textbook!

I am a MBA/CMA with over 30 years of both industrial accounting (Controller and CFO) of many midsized industrial companies. I addition I have taught (primarily as an adjunct at both 4 year and community colleges.

...decided to attend Johns Hopkins University where I received a Master of Science in Education. I am in my fifth year of teaching and have taughtet everything from Kindergarten to Eighth Grade. My favorite part of working with students is seeing that "Ah-Ha!" moment. I love learning about my students as a whole so that I can make instruction as relevant as possible to them. In my free time I enjoy staying active by rowing,...

...EARLY in the morning. I love to travel and before COVID I would travel 2-3 times a year out of the country to new places. I just returned from Zambia, where I completed grant-work with local game rangers focused on the illegal wildlife trade. I also spent some time in Tanzania summitting Mount Kilimanjaro. My interests keep me pretty busy, so if I have some downtime, I won't say no to a good nap. :)

...helping students understand the reasons and context for why history has unfolded the way it has is deeply rewarding. I grew up in an educational tradition that focused on the student and saw the teacher as a facilitator who helps students cultivate knowledge. The teacher (or tutor) is a guide, but much of that role is tied to helping students find confidence so they can continue their education independently throughout their lives. Outside of academia,...

...style that works for each student and build success from their platform. I hold the following degrees: Doctor of Philosophy in Applied Mathematics, Brown University Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Brown University Master of Arts in Pure Mathematics, Duke University May 1992, Bachelor of Arts in Physics, Duke University Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, Cleveland State University Minor in Chemistry and Philosophy, Cleveland State University I have more than 30 years of tutoring and...

...that no one can take away. "American Proverb" I am excited for the opportunity to work with students with a willingness and desire to learn. Looking back I would not be where I am today if I did not have other who believed in me and invested their time to help me succeed. It is my hope that by helping you in a subject or area that is challenging that I can pay it forward.

I believe with sincere EFFORT from myself and my future students, we will make gains that will surprise us both. I enjoy working with children and watching them make real world connections to Reading, Math, Writing, Science, and Social Studies. When a child makes connections, they have better retention of their subjects. Learning takes hard work and should be fun, and I'll do my best to make sure that no time will be wasted.

...medical school in 2018. I have been tutoring since I was 14 years old. I have worked with all ages from elementary school up through college. Throughout my journey to medical school I have taken an abundance of science classes (biology, biochemistry, general and organic chemistry, as well as physics). During this process I have experimented with different learning and studying styles to help myself excel in each class which has also helped me with...
