I have been an educator for 12 years and a lover of literature my entire life. As an educator, my favorite thing is to help someone understand how to find joy (or at least comfort) in reading and writing. I believe that these skills open the entire universe to a person, whether it be in a fictional realm or in the boardroom. I received my BS in English Education at East Carolina University in Greenville, NC, earned National Board Certification, and have recently completed a MS in Technical Communication through North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC. I have spent my career working with students of all levels, including EC, Honors, and AP. I have also spent much time tutoring students to be successful on the verbal portion of the SAT. In my free time, I of course enjoy reading, but a close second would be traveling. I love a good road trip, and I'm also trying to expand my travels - hopefully going overseas soon!

I graduated from NC State University with a Bachelor of Science in Animal Science and a Bachelor of Science in Zoology. I aspired to become a veterinarian. After struggling in my entry-level Chemistry and calculus classes but excelling in history, English, and Literature classes, I realized that my gifts were in these areas as opposed to science and higher math. I also realized that teaching was my calling after earning my teaching certification from UNC-Charlotte. However, I love science! Although I was initially certified in Biology, my first teaching position was teaching physical science. I LOVED IT! I taught myself physics and eventually earned my AP Physics 1 certification from College Board. It was the journey into physics that revealed my strengths in applying physics to Real World phenomena,I have taught physical science, physics, AP Physics 1, Algebra I, literature, and grammar. I have worked 1 to 1 teaching homebound students in science, and literature. My love of history makes me passionate about it as well! I read nonfiction American history as a hobby! I also have traveled extensively in the Lower 48 States with North Dakota, Oregon, Louisiana, Alaska, and Hawaii being the only states I have never visited. I earned my National Board for Professional Teaching certification in high school science with a concentration in physics. My love of physics is only paralleled by my love of reading. I believe that we are all lifelong learners!

I love math; the logic and problem solving involved in the subject makes this my favorite subject to tutor.

I tutor math up to Calculus 3 and Physics from High School Physics 1 and AP Physics to College level physics.As a current college student, I understand what works for students and what doesn't work; my teaching philosophy is simple and systematic. I break the problem down into small steps that are easy to follow and show a clear logical solution to the problem, the next step is practice, which will further ingrain the process in your brain, and allow you to do it easily during examinations.Outside of academia I enjoy playing soccer, fishing, hiking and camping. I currently play on the NC State Club soccer team, and my most recent camping trip was in the Florida Keys, where the fishing was amazing.

I am a senior student at North Carolina State University, majoring in Aerospace Engineering with a minor in Materials Science and Engineering. Before that, I attended Central Carolina Community College where I obtained two associate degrees; these being associate in science and associate in engineering. I am originally from Honduras and came to this country a few years ago pursuing a better life. Even though what I am pursuing at the university is not directly related to teaching, I love tutoring/teaching. Ever since I was in high school I would tutor all of my friends in all of the subjects they were struggling with. As it turned out, I am good at tutoring so I kept doing it to help my friends; I came to the conclusion that I am good at it because all the people I have tutored have said so but mostly because I compared how they would perform when I tutored them vs when other people tutored them, and my students would always do better when I tutor them. This kind of made me feel like, if I am really good at it and can help people do good and learn, then, I should. I tutor a variety of subjects going from Spanish to subjects in the sciences, math, and engineering. I do not have a set teaching style; I think every person learns in a different way, so as a tutor I am always trying to be flexible to teach in a way that is easiest for my students to learn and understand the material.

Hello! I'm passionate about STEM education intertwined with the liberal arts. I double-majored in Chemical Engineering & French Language and Literature at NC State University so I value a holistic, well-rounded education. Thus, I am comfortable tutoring in many subjects, including Science,French, Math, English and standardized testing such as the ACT, SAT, and AP exams. I have significant experience as both a one-on-one middle & high school tutor during college and teaching high school students after college. When tutoring a student, I am extremely patient. I understand that struggling with a subject can be frustrating and many people prefer to avoid the work all together. I have learned that relating difficult topics to something the student enjoys is an effective learning tool. I combine this technique with hands-on examples. In my experience, practice does make perfect! My pedagogical style is process-based and goal-oriented. I like students to set a goal (or several), collaborate with me on a process to achieve it, and then put the plan into action with individualized methodology and assessment. I look forward to working with you and helping you understand, solve, and achieve!

Since high school, I've always had a passion for both teaching and mathematics, and the more I learn about both the more passionate I become. I was inspired by my high school math teacher, Mr. Byan, who displayed such a love of learning and teaching that it became infectious, and I hope to spread his joy for the subject and the appreciation of mathematics' profound beauty.I'm working towards an undergraduate degree in math, and hope to pursue a graduate degree afterward. I've been teaching since my first year of undergrad, and ever since I've looked for ways to continue -- through my personal and professional life.I think that the standard education system does a horrible job at teaching mathematics and often leaves students feeling like they're memorizing formulas. Real math is all about the journey to the answer, but grade school math is far too focused on just the answer.However, I feel strongly students should rarely have to memorize anything, and the ideas presented to students should always be motivated and explained so they understand the why and the what. I've found in my own experience teaching, too, that motivating the answer to a problem gives students a greater desire to learn as well as a deeper understanding, and it develops critical thinking skills.
