...get when a student understands a concept they previously struggled with is priceless. I have tutored math and reading at the Boys and Girls club for five years in the past, and I also tutored Algebra 1 for a year when I was in high school.

...University of Pittsburgh, majoring in Neuroscience. My experiences in tutoring have come from working at a nearby center called "Perfect Tutors" and from helping classmates at my after school academic resource center. I really enjoy getting to know and helping kids learn. I've worked with kids from the age of 4 in summer camps up to high schoolers. Whether I'm teaching Math, Science, or Reading, the best part about my job is seeing when a...

...and science. I feel like I can relate to many students because I have a variety of interests such as tennis, robotics, and reading. I try to make my sessions as fun as possible so that my students will remain interested in the subject matter for a longer period of time. I teach to the level of the student and explain using terms they will understand. Teaching others can sometimes seem difficult, but I believe...

...attained through a constant struggle. I believe that if one practices enough in anything and is willing to struggle throughout the process, then they are able to succeed. I have lived a very fortunate life and have had the opportunity to grow academically. Practice had been the key for me to succeed academically. If you want to be the master of anything, then: "Don't practice until you get it right. Practice until you can't get...

...student, but also capitalize on their personal learning style so they may have the most success. As I identify their learning style and what is most effective, I also equip them with knowledge and tools related to their learning style so they may become an independent scholar. As an biomedical engineer, my strengths are in the sciences (biology, anatomy, physics, etc) and mathematics (algebra, calculus, geometry, etc). I also tutor in test preparation (SAT, ACT,...

...I have had the chance to teach college courses along with tutoring students online. Right now I help with some online math courses targeted at students from other countries. It's been interesting seeing how other cultures approach mathematics. I earned a math degree from Truman State University. After that, I went to graduate school at the University of Missouri in Columbia. I have a bachelor's degree in mathematics, and a masters degree in statistics I tutor...

...in Math and Computer Science. I got into tutoring during high school, as it was a requirement for being a part of my school's Math Honor Society. I enjoyed it far more than I expected and wanted to do more of it. While I can tutor on a variety of STEM topics, I enjoy tutoring with Math related subjects the most. I can help with anything from academic math subjects to competition math strategies.

...easily be derailed by anxiety, missing previous information, poor study habits, or a psychological condition. I've worked with students with each of these problems (and more) and seen the vast majority improve their performance, which gives them confidence, which improves their performance even more. It’s incredibly rewarding to be a positive example for students and watching their confidence grow until they forget what it was they were so worried about in the first place!

...find it to be satisfying for everyone involved - parents, students and teachers. What an exciting way to help others become more successful in what they are trying to achieve whether it be spelling words, essay writing, math facts, phonics and beginning reading, algebra, oganization and study skills, getting prepared to take the ACT or SAT to get into the college of their choice to studying for exams in high school and college. I have...

...in Mechanical Engineering and a minor in materials science and engineering. I primarily tutor subjects in math and science because I love helping students break through obstacles to understanding tough concepts.

I love to hike, I'm an avid board game player, and I'm currently teaching myself to play guitar...

...Namibia (Southern Africa) teaching English, Math, and Computer Skills in a resource-poor environment. I am enthusiastic and creative, and am constantly scanning the latest pedagogical literature to keep abreast of current teaching theories. My strengths lie in verbal expression, although I have a background in science (especially biology) as well. My specialty is helping to improve language/reading scores and writing/editing skills, as my perfect scores in the verbal portions of the SAT and the GRE...

...computer science. I have tutored students in a wide range of materials from standardized tests (SAT and ACT), to various high-school subjects (including Physics, Chemistry, Algebra, and Geometry). I scored in the 99th percentile of both the ACT and SAT, and I strive to help every student I tutor gain the necessary skills and habits to achieve whatever score they are aiming for. Standardized testing and school in general can be a huge stress on...

...Missouri - Kansas City School of Medicine. My educational background includes two bachelor's degrees in psychology and general science. I know firsthand how frustrating and time-consuming it can be to study science, and I love helping students master difficult concepts and gain confidence. I also enjoy helping students prepare for standardized tests such as the SAT, ACT, and GRE. It can be particularly challenging to raise verbal, English, and reading scores on these exams, but...

...Students miss out on many wonderful realizations in their daily lives because they don't understand how chemistry helped create computers, or the historical context that has created the current political climate. Tutoring sessions with me are structured much differently than a traditional class. I don't lecture; Learning with me is a conversation in which we will talk through a concept together, and then the student proves their understanding by teaching it back. I try to...

...in any subject. When I'm tutoring, I think it is most important to talk through issues with my students and try to ascertain how they're thinking about the problems they're trying to solve. If you're thinking about the fundamentals of a problem in the correct way, any other details will fall into place fairly easily. In addition to tutoring, I am a touring stand-up comedian. In my spare time, I enjoy competitive swimming, reading, and...

...a Fulbright Scholar--and in Canada, where I taught at McGill University. I started teaching test-prep classes (GRE, LSAT, SAT, and GMAT) twenty years ago and have taught for several national companies. Teaching these classes has always been immensely gratifying due to the satisfaction of helping students prepare for and meet career goals. I particularly enjoy teaching the more complex subjects, such as the LSAT analytical reasoning and the GMAT quantitative comparison. I know how difficult...

...success later in life and if we do not provide a strong backbone for our kids, they will not be able to achieve the goals or hopes they have. A classroom setting might not be enough for a child and with the extra tutoring they are able to get the confidence they need to excel on tests and in classrooms. My tutoring methods are unique because I am able to connect with students via sports,...

I am a Finance Major and Biochemistry Minor at Arizona State University. I have helped tutor my peers throughout my educational career. My approach is all about helping the student understand "Why" something works the way it does and not just "How". I have found that this helps students retain information better because it gives them a more complete understanding of the material.

I am a former middle-school English teacher (and former high-school French teacher). I am certified to teach English (grades 6-12), History/Government/Social Studies (grades 6-12), Psychology (grades 6-12), Health (grades PreK-12), General Music (grades PreK-12), and French (grades PreK-12). I have also taught AP French and college-level French. I have a B.A. in Modern Languages (French) and Sociology, an M.A. in Modern Languages (French/Second-Language Acquisition), and an M.A. in Teaching (Secondary).

...help them to find success in whatever field I can. I've worked closely with peers and younger students through my time in high school and college, and I have great proficiency in many areas of the physical sciences and math.
