During my days of being a student I have had the privilege of learning from some inspirational educators. From elementary, high-school, community college, and now at the university level there are learning experiences that stick out in each. These experiences shaped how I perceive and question the world around me, and will continue to throughout my experience. There were commonalities of each of these standout experiences, which in retrospect, I notice to outline my learning style. With a limited understanding of other learning styles, my philosophy of teaching would be very similar to the styles in which I benefited from the most.It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education. I believe that the ability to invoke and nurture curiosity was the most important commonality shared between the educators that I benefitted from the most. I believe curiosity to be the spark that is necessary to initiate true learning. I hold curiosity as the primary emphasis in my philosophy. I believe that the encouragement to question facts, theories, and even common knowledge should be supported without scrutiny. This, as opposed to passively accepting knowledge in the motivation of remembrance for evaluation. Curiosity, is what I believe to be a common trait of lifelong learners. This attitude toward all observable and non-observable aspects of life, is what I believe to be a main aspiration of education.I believe that showing the importance of learning and how it has inspired the theories, innovations, and personal fulfillment of many is also of central importance. In this way, the application of the subject could be presented in a way that brings understanding of its importance and relevance to a learner. I believe by showing the paths of many diverse figures that emphasis can be placed on the idea that learning is a personal experience. I don't believe that the learning of a student can be compared or evaluated under a narrow scope. I believe that emphasis must be placed on individual experience, as comparable to no other. This philosophy, in my opinion, creates a more nurturing environment to learners of many different capacities.I think that optimal learning takes place at the crossroads of curiosity and inspiration. Translating this into education of many students simultaneously is what I foresee as a crux of my philosophy. As no group of learners would have a unanimous interest in a particular subject, catering to those that do may leave some behind. Finding mutual ground of curiosity and interest would be very important to me as an educator. I believe that creating an inquiring and active environment for learners encourages creativity, curiosity, and an individualized experience. These, of which, I consider to be of primary importance to teaching.

I have a background in physics and mathematics, with additional focuses in Japanese, computer science, and economics. I have also worked previously as a public school teacher and graduate teaching assistant. I hope to help you with your subject concerns.

I have had the extreme good fortune of receiving a fine education in a subject (History) I feel very passionate about. Since then, I have enriched that education via an unbounded curiosity about the world and its inhabitants combined with a strong zest for learning. My personal desire to put this knowledge to good use by helping to educate others is precisely why I became a teacher/tutor. Every single person on this Earth is capable of learning no matter what their age or circumstances; it is simply a question of effort. Through patience and persistence comes perseverance!

I graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in May 2014. I received my Bachelors of Science in Physics with a Mathematics minor. I was inspired by my high school physics teacher to pursue physics; his fervor for the subject and for teaching has been my aspiration since I left secondary school! In my studies, I have found a passion for teaching, and have begun my second degree in Physics Education. My teaching experience started with instructing a local high school drum line (which I still pursue), and progressed to tutoring college students in physics. My philosophy on teaching is that everything can be accomplished through a set of small, achievable steps. An analytic outlook will help all students regardless of age or skill set to achieve not in the classroom, but also in countless facets of life. Math and science provide a new lens through which to see the world, and it is my goal to help all students achieve that vision.

Education:-B.S. Fashion Merchandising and Minor in Marketing from IUP-M.S. Human Sciences, Merchandising from SDSU-M.S. Family and Consumer Sciences Education, TTU-Grad Cert. Women's and Gender Studies, TTUCertified Career Services Provider, National Career Development AssociationCurrently, I am a Ph.D. student at Texas Tech University majoring in Family and Consumer Sciences Education. I hold a Nevada CTE teaching license in FCS. I have many years of experience as a substitute teacher, working in the retail industry, and developing academic skills. I am passionate about helping students understand information, develop critical thinking skills, and improving deficient areas. I am a huge proponent of life-long learning as opposed to just mastery learning. Through the educational journey, it's important to understand how you "will use this later in life". I look forward to working with you.

As a student, writer, and editor, I've grown to appreciate the importance of effective communication and writing. How people approach writing varies depending on context, and I've noticed that when it comes to academic writing, students often struggle with things like reaching word counts, formatting documents to APA or MLA, grammar, fully answering prompts, avoiding plagiarism, and accurately citing sources. While academic writing isn't difficult, it takes time, technique, and experience to master. With my experience writing, editing, and consulting on countless academic documents (term papers, master theses, doctoral dissertations, etc.), I yearn to bridge the gap between academic writing standards and the experience needed to meet those standards.I've tutored writing to students from different regions around the world for more than four years, and I've written and edited professionally for more than five years. I earned a bachelor's in journalism and a second bachelor's in economics from Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) in 2019. I earned a master's in law and public policy from California University of Pennsylvania (Cal U) in 2021. Throughout my academic career, I worked as a journalist for a variety of news publications and copy edited for my university's student-run newspaper. As copy editor, I held weekly writing workshops where I gave personalized, one-on-one lessons to each of our journalists to improve their writing skills. In graduate school, I continued teaching concepts of formatting, grammar, style, and syntax during my graduate assistantship at Cal U's writing center.Although I love tutoring things like how to format documents, answer prompts, approach literature reviews, conduct research, etc. My favorite subjects are grammar and syntax. Some people consider these subjects dull, but they excite me to no end, and I will happily chat for hours about simple grammatical principles.Besides nerding out about grammar, when I'm outside the academic environment, I enjoy outdoor sports such as hiking, kayaking, caving, and rock climbing. I also enjoy traveling and photography.

My teaching philosophy is that enthusiasm is contagious and that the best way to motivate students to learn is to embody how much you care about them and about the content of what you are teaching.As a tutor of all topics pertaining to Nutrition who also helps prepare students to pass the RD exam, I am extremely passionate about the importance of this science and in the importance of nutrition in the medical profession.I also find it important to keep students engaged and actively involved in their education and as such strive to be down-to-earth, relevant, relatable, and keep an open dialogue.After receiving my Bachelor's degree from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in Nutrition and Dietetics and completing my Dietetic Internship at Priority Nutrition Care Distance Dietetic Internship, I had the opportunity to work as an Inpatient Dietitian for a little over 4 years. During that time, I have familiarized myself with the duties and responsibilities of what a Dietitian does in the hospital setting. As such, I have a strong background in the clinical aspects of the RD exam. I was actually hired by the hospital I interned at prior to passing the RD exam, and since passing the exam myself, I have helped multiple Dietetic Interns that I have precepted also pass the RD exam.It brings me great joy to help students familiarize themselves with the subject matter on the RD Exam as well as better understand the importance of nutrition as a science as they prepare themselves in their roles as future Dietitians.In the future I would like to obtain a Masters and/or certification in Functional medicine which I believe to be the future of our healthcare system.

I am a graduate of Indiana University of Pennsylvania, where I earned my bachelor's degree in elementary education along with concentrations in math and reading. As a result, I am certified to teach all subjects in grades K-6 and math and ELA through grade 8. I have taught almost every grade and subject K-8, but have a passion for reading and math. I believe in the importance of lifelong learning and am currently earning my masters degree in curriculum and instruction from Western Governors University. I love teaching because a strong education has the power to change a person's life. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy hiking, reading, and spending time with my family.

I am a graduate of Indiana University of Pennsylvania. I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a BA in Writing Studies and English Literature. As a lifelong lover of writing and reading, I value the skills and encouragement I received from my professors and mentors. I believe the skills gained from studying and improving on the crafts of writing and reading to be the foundations of success in life. To be able to communicate effectively and obtain an understanding of words and stories, you must work and learn always. I would love to pass on my skills and knowledge to other students while also hopefully fostering a love of understanding literature and writing.

I have been a physics professor at Roosevelt University since 2013. I received my Ph.D. in theoretical nuclear physics from Michigan State University.

I'm an experienced reading, writing, and ESL instructor who has taught both adolescents and adults in high school and pre-college programs. During my undergraduate years, I studied Spanish at Indiana University of Pennsylvania and participated in study abroad programs at El Centro Bilinge and La Universidad de Las Americas in Mexico. While completing my Bachelor's, I tutored classmates in English and assisted them with proofreading essays. Later, I completed a Master's of Education in Bilingual/Multicultural Education through Northern Arizona University. While studying for this degree, I volunteered at a junior high school and taught ESL classes there. After graduation, I moved to Oregon and began adjunct teaching for a community college in their Adult Basic Skills Program where I taught ESL, PreGED/GED Language Arts, Visual Arts, Graphic Design, basic computer skills, and pre-college Reading/Writing courses. I enjoy teaching ESL and English the most because of the opportunities to help students increase their vocabulary and express themselves creatively through writing. My first goal when teaching is to raise a student's confidence in their communicative abilities and expand upon their background knowledge, so that they are able to increasingly take on more difficult assignments. I strongly believe that confidence is the key to succeeding in any subject. In combining high levels of confidence and a well-rounded education, one will have more opportunities for career, social, and personal growth. Outside of teaching English, I'm also a photographer who enjoys story-telling through visual imagery. When I'm not in the classroom or the studio, I'm out hiking and appreciating the beauty of nature around me.

I have had the opportunity to teach and to tutor thousands of students over my 33 year teaching career. I believe that each student is unique, and that academic skills and weaknesses should be assessed and targeted for the best results. I also hope that it can be a FUN learning experience! I love it when students develop a passion for a subject like Biology, or develop an understanding and/or respect for Algebra, Geometry, etc. Most important to me is that the student ultimately feels successful, and sees improvement. Learning is a lifelong skill, and the desire to become better academically or to pass a class with a particular grade provides the motivation and opportunity to grow! I feel fortunate to be able to assist in those endeavors!

I am deeply passionate about helping students because I believe education is a powerful tool for personal and societal transformation. My experience working with students spans over 15 years, during which I have witnessed firsthand the positive impact personalized instruction can have on a student's confidence and academic success. I earned my Master's Degree in Education, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to effectively support diverse learning needs. Currently, I am focused on continuous professional development to stay updated with the latest educational strategies and techniques. I tutor a variety of subjects including Kindergarten Readiness, Language Arts, and creative writing. I particularly enjoy tutoring Language Arts and creative writing because they allow me to help students express their thoughts and ideas, fostering both their communication skills and their creativity. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel comfortable to ask questions and express themselves. I strive to adapt my tutoring style to meet the individual needs of each student, using a combination of direct instruction, guided practice, and interactive activities to foster understanding and retention. Outside of academia, I am deeply involved in special needs advocacy. This interest not only enriches my personal life but also provides me with valuable insights and experiences that I bring into my tutoring sessions. Through thoughtful and dedicated tutoring, I aim to inspire students to achieve their academic goals and cultivate a lifelong love of learning.

I finished my B.A. in Asian Studies at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) with certificates in Chinese language and China studies. Currently, I am finishing my M.A. in Chinese Linguistics at the University of Arizona's Department of East Asian Studies (I currently live in Pittsburgh). I tutor all levels of Chinese, which I've studied for over seven years. I participated in Chinese learning programs at Middlebury College and study abroad programs at Nanjing University and Sichuan University. I've also worked as a Chinese tutor at IUP and a teaching assistant for Chinese and East Asian linguistics courses at the University of Arizona. I've also taught my own courses in each! One of my favorite experiences involves designing online course materials for hybrid and online Chinese language courses. I have a passion for language, East Asian linguistics, and online language teaching. I believe students deserve tutoring designed around their OWN interests in Chinese. I utilize innovative software to design personalized lessons for both online and in-person sessions and teach Chinese with a strong focus on language, culture, and real-world application. I'd love to get to know your reasons for studying Chinese, goals as a learner, and/or areas of difficulty to design sessions that fit your needs.
