My teaching philosophy is "math is easy"; my goal...

...I was able to help and shape the minds of students with the concepts of mathematics both at the high school and college level. It is important to me to help others who need extra support in learning mathematics. My goal is for my students to love math just as much as I do. It takes a great deal of patience working with all types of students, but the end result is so rewarding. Getting...

...feel confident in my ability to guide other students through a similar process. In terms of teaching experience, I taught ESL at a high school in Thailand, I co-taught Environmental Education to middle school students in Cameroon (in French), and I also tutored middle school students in math and Spanish while I was in high school. I have spent the past year in study groups with my peers, and feel very comfortable explaining complex concepts...

...experience includes working with extended family members in middle school, for other tutoring companies, and as a helper in my children's classrooms over the years.

...first job as a tutor is to analyze each student's learning style, strengths, weaknesses, and motivations and tailor an individual growth plan for that student based on those findings. Tutoring, like teaching, is both art and science. My experience in working with thousands of students over the years has taught me crucial elements of both aspects and I am very anxious and excited to bring my skills to your learner to maximize his or her...

...had many opportunities as a teacher. I was a teaching assistant for two undergraduate courses: Number Theory and Discrete Mathematics. 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. I taught math, computer science and english speaking skills. This is why Mathematics is my favourite subject to tutor. I am also comfortable tutoring for standardised tests such as...

I have extensive tutoring experience in math, physics, chemistry and engineering subjects. I really enjoy tutoring and like the interaction with students. ... Teaching is a way to share knowledge and improve your own learning.... By helping them understand the core concepts. Focus on understanding the problem itself rather than the solution.... By praising them on their successes, pointing out places for improvement and making learning a fun process.... I will try to illustrate the skill...

...it can be applied to almost anything. Showing students how math can be applied to the real world and how it can be useful in their own lives really helps students stay engaged with the course material.

I am always very patient...

I wrote my dissertation on horror movies, and I teach a class every...

Thanks to one-on-one help in middle and high school, I not only achieved stronger grades/test scores, but gained the confidence I will continue to use even beyond graduate school. I hope to give others the same invaluable tool set!... The ways I've always preferred to learn myself are typically the ways I teach. Once it seems like a student has a pretty strong understanding of a subject, I like to play competitive or timed games. It...

...have tutored for many years and I have found that students may learn in different ways and all can excel. I like to present material in an engaging and relevant manner so that we can all learn and achieve success. One-on-one tutoring is an effective technique, particularly for explaining and modeling math, and I enjoy seeing students attitudes toward school brighten when they see immediate progress in their work. As a writing tutor, I like...

...Mathematics, I carry with me, aside from a substantial knowledge of all subjects, a "bag of tricks" made up of pneumonic devices, preparation skills, and exercises in focus/concentration. With any session, my goal is to deconstruct seemingly difficult concepts into more digestible steps -- in essence working with the student to develop a strategy that is personal to them, for any person will retain information most effectively when they are able to describe it in...

...life revolves around excitement and a lack of complacency. I always want to be somewhere or do something that I have not yet achieved.

My experience has come in the form of private, one-on-one tutoring with students ranging in ages from 7th grade through adult learners, college-level review courses, and even teaching SAT prep courses. My students find me very relatable, and I've heard from several students that having someone close to their own age work with them has been really beneficial to their learning. I look forward to working with you in the future!...

...about to begin graduate school as a PhD Student in Condensed Matter Physics. I am currently working at an experimental physics lab at the University of Maryland, College Park. My tutoring style is pretty relaxed. In my experience, if someone knows what question to ask then they are already pretty close to the answer; they just need a push in the right direction. I like to help people talk through the problems. My job is...
