...students in high school with math to assisting graduate students with accounting as a TA, I understand the impact a good tutor can have not only on the bottom line grade but on overall confidence in a subject. Studying for the CPA exam (and scoring FAR-93, AUD-90, BEC-95, REG-94) puts me in a unique position to break complicated accounting subjects into their most basic components. Most of all I am genuinely passionate about helping others...

I definitely made the right choice my senior year with tutoring because I met some remarkable families and got the opportunity to really help students in more of a long-term scope and see the difference in their grades. I'm a big advocate for the philosophy that "practice makes perfect" and I absolutely love my students that are ready to put in work. I specialize in tutoring math and science subjects. In...

...and was asked to help other students in these subjects as well. I enjoy many activities such as reading, writing, playing pool, and I am an avid NFL and NBA fan. I am also a movie fanatic.

I believe that if you enjoy what...

...UH undergraduates during the Fall 2010 and Spring 2011 academic semesters. The subjects I tutored ranged from college level science courses to advanced mathematics. In my opinion, the most rewarding aspect of tutoring is when I am able to convey a particularly challenging question to a student. I do this by approaching concepts from multiple perspectives and breaking things down into layman's terms. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, weight lifting, and spending time...

...middle school in many different subject areas. I love the learning process, and figuring out how to best design a lesson for a specific student so that learning is fun, engaging and meaningful. For me, learning is not about drilling memorization facts. My ultimate goal with students is to make a connection with them and bring alive pre-algebra, phonics, the questioning mechanics of the SAT - whatever the student is learning. When a connection is...

...3rd, 5th, and 8th graders. As a teacher assistant I tutored the quartile of students struggling most in reading and worked one on one until my students were among the best riders in the class. I think I am a great listener and motivator. I understand the struggle of applying yourself to a subject you may not enjoy and what it takes to buckle down and do what needs to be done.

Hello! I'm Aurnab. I'm a Bioengineering student at Rice University. I've been tutoring since high school. Due to my wide background in a variety of subjects that I've studied, I have a very interdisciplinary approach to tutoring that can be tailored to any student to achieve results.

...getting a glimpse of how different students learn. Too many times in math courses, students are overloaded with definitions and theorems and sent off to apply them alone. I understand that not everyone can read math and sometimes need to see math in use in order to understand a concept well. I'm all about learning, rather than memorizing. Math builds on itself so if a concept is simply memorized, the student will have trouble again....

...person is different. I will find the best strategy for each of my students, whether it's kinesthetic (hands-on) or non-linguistic representations (visual icons or analogies). I find that sometimes the wall that keeps someone from understanding can easily be overcome by changing the perspective. I am a Houston native certified to teach general elementary and secondary history. I taught TAKS prep and second grade in Cy-Fair ISD and currently work as a substitute in Klein....

I want to show my students the joy of learning, as cliche as that might sound. I guess this stems from my own love of learning, but tutoring lets me share this love in a one-on-one, individual scenario. Seeing as my desired career is to be a college professor, tutoring allows me to get an early edge on my teaching skills as well.

...these problems come from and theorems behind them. Because of my Engineering major I have a background in chemistry and physics. My physics is pretty advanced do to the fact that I took multiple courses related to this subject, but overall my math is what I am best at. I tutored prior to this job one year for Kumon Learning Center, and also I tutored for the University of Houston for freshmen students. During the...

...have developed a more in depth understanding of the material, which I desire to have. By tutoring others, I am able to pay it forward and help guide those who are having difficulty, like many have help guided me. My specialization and major is Chemistry. Chemistry is easily my favorite topic although I would not consider it "easy". Understanding key concepts and fundamentals will allow others to see the depth and the amazing things chemistry...

...themselves; the goal is to make myself unnecessary in a way. My strengths (in school and tutoring) are in foreign languages including Latin and humanitiesexpect a very enthusiastic tutor especially if we are talking about Shakespeare! I also think it is important to try and frame things in a context students are used to, so if that means watching She's the Man in order to understand Twelfth Night, then that's what we will do (although...

...a subject has always been one known to get the hearts of most students racing, and this problem begins right from the very basic level. However, my passion for this subject has led me to find easier and more effective ways of understanding mathematical concepts and i have ever since tried to share the same knowledge with as many students struggling as i possibly could. I also believe that the problem of the "idealized difficulty"...

Simply providing a new context for learning can create a better understanding that turns a weak subject into a strength. With all my students, I emphasize a balance between memorized aspects like vocabulary, and analytical skills that demonstrate a more thorough knowledge of them material. Apart from tutoring, I love to cook, write,...
