...for on average twenty children ages 5-10. Then I began professionally tutoring through my high school when I was sixteen until I was eighteen. I assisted middle schoolers and high schoolers, ages 11-18, on their core subjects: math, reading, social sciences, and physical sciences. I also assisted them in Spanish (all levels), AP classes, PSAT skills, and SAT skills. My greatest strength is assisting students get more organized and take better notes when they are...

...or economics, my approach to tutoring is to find what strategies work best for the student and work on methods for students to be able to make progress both in and out of tutoring sessions. My favorite part of tutoring is seeing students improve and build confidence in areas they used to be nervous about or dislike. One of the reasons I enjoy tutoring French is that I myself was initially very afraid to learn...

...and training other corps members in specific skills while in AmeriCorps, and in my various roles in the games industry I put together and led a variety of training sessions for new hires, as well as provided coaching and mentoring for colleagues.

I have spent a lot of time tutoring people of all ages -- I have worked with preschoolers, kids in elementary school, and adults. I really like to learn and experience as much as I can: I spent a year teaching in Korea and another four months traveling the globe. I hope that my enthusiasm is infectious!

...the SAT, I primarily focus on teaching the Math and Writing sections as I have extensive knowledge on both the content and the format of the tests. I believe that it is important to impart important concepts and problem solving mechanisms to people because it allows them to learn a process that can be applied to different problems in life outside the exam setting. I definitely try to impart my passion for problem solving onto...

I am passionate about learning and took as many courses as possible in college including courses in chemistry, physics, biology and opera performance. I am also passionate about teaching. I live for that 'ah-ha' moment when you can see a concept click in a students mind. I believe in teaching not only...

...My duties involved giving weekly tutorials and designing and evaluating homework and quizzes. I have also taught underprivileged high school students as part of an NGO.

My goal is not merely to teach facts and formulas but rather to help the student...

...anything, I'm eager to impart some of the math/physics/economics know-how, tricks, and tips I've learned over the years from taking dozens of courses from the high school level to the upper-most college level unto my students.

...when compared to my classmates, whether that was in test-taking or in any academic subject. So, I know what it's like to really wrestle with a subject, and I know what kind of assistance is helpful (and what kind of assistance/teaching is not). I think this--empathizing with a student and knowing the difference between good and bad help--is the most important quality of a good tutor. And just as importantly, I will work hard to...

Having been successful in my academic career, I...

...to help you develop the awareness to budget your time, focus your attention on the problems that are most easily solved, apply a few heuristics that'll shave minutes off of some questions, and be comfortable throughout the testing process. If you do this, you'll give yourself a much better chance of success. The best schools teach the same subject matter as any other, but they surround you with talented, brilliant people who challenge you every...

After graduating with a degree in philosophy, my conscience left me with no choice but to find a job doing something meaningful. Like Aristotle, I think the ability to think for yourself is essential to living a happy life. Like Socrates, I think inquiry is essential to cultivating this ability. I love people and I love conversation. To engage personally while exchanging and inspiring ideas is, for me, one of life's greatest pleasures.... I strive to...

...to tutor most subjects, my strongest suit is writing. I read my friends' papers all the time - and really enjoy doing it! I can read anything from college essays, creative writing, or help you with the SAT writing/reading sections. I am also happy to help you brainstorm and talk through ideas on papers you haven't yet started. In my free time, I love reading, writing, cooking, hiking (or really, doing almost anything outside), and...

...the sciences and those are my favorite subjects to tutor. There is nothing that makes me happier than seeing my students explain a concept that was previously confusing for them. My teaching strategy relies heavily on understanding my students' learning styles and catering tutoring sessions to best fit how my students like to learn. When working through practice problems, I enjoy using the "teach-back" method to enhance repetition and to ensure that my students really...

...his own. I have also spent much of my work life being a tutor or mentor for those around me. None of us knows everything, and so we must learn from each other and accept responsibility for teaching each other. I graduated from Davidson College with a degree in economics, and from the Yale School of Management where I focused on finance and organizational behavior. Algebra is my favorite subject to tutor. I love the...

...I have had a good success rate, rescuing students from Special Education, being held back, and even steering one failing middle school student through high school graduation.

I am a recent graduate from an international relations masters program. I am especially qualified to teach students in the social sciences. ... My teaching philosophy is to encourage questions and open discussion. I feel that active learning, where students are making the connections themselves is the most beneficial to them.
