...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 students, and as a tutor I want to help mediate some of that stress by not only better preparing...

...tutor nearly any S.T.E.M course up through highschool (and some college), along with English and grammar - more specifically paper writing - up to an early college level. When it comes to learning, I believe in two very basic principals. First, "Perfect practice makes perfect." I use this modification on the old adage to show that when practicing anything from math to grammar, repetition of the correct kind is absolutely key. Secondly, I believe that...

...science, math, the arts, and the humanities, I make connections between different subjects to help my students see how what we're working on isn't so strange after all! Before beginning to work with 51吃瓜网 in August of 2014, I worked in a K-8 school as an intervention math teacher. There, I tutored elementary- and middle-school students in math in small groups. Working in that setting taught me more about how to explain abstract concepts...

...Much of my teaching philosophy centers around one word: "why". Pushing students to understand why and how something works on their own significantly improves long term recall, instead of simply feeding them formulae and rules for them to regurgitate on an examination. As a 23 year old, I am not very far removed from either the ACT or the SAT, and feel as though this will help me better empathize with specific concepts and areas...

...realized this passion and strength were driving me towards education. Since then, I've enjoyed working with students of all ages and abilities to further their math skills. I believe that everyone has mathematical abilities and I enjoying working and watching these abilities grow and improve in students. In my free time, I enjoy running with my Border Collie/Lab mix, Sadya, and swimming laps. I tend to spend my evenings knitting or reading.

...to the needs of the student. Outside of school, I enjoy watching sports (of course I'm a little partial to the Jayhawks, Royals, and chiefs), reading, video games, and also trying to work in some volunteer work in the local area. Overall, each session should be entirely about helping the student attain success in the subject by teaching them in a fashion they can understand. I never liked teachers who had a rigid learning approach;...

As a tutor, I would like to foster not only mastery of individual subjects, but a strengthened approach to academia in general. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy playing and writing music on the guitar, watching movies, playing basketball with my friends, and hanging out with my animals.

...general chemistry (at the high school or college level) and organic chemistry, both of which were always personal favorites. Even more importantly, in my pursuit of the sciences and humanities I have not just mastered two different types of content; rather, I鈥檝e mastered two different ways of thinking. Because I understand both the way a strong humanities student might think and the way a strong science student might think, I鈥檓 able to 鈥榯ranslate鈥� for students...

...where I focused on Medieval British history. While in College, I taught a group of 9th grade students at a local synagogue. My class focused on the role of women in some of the most pivotal stories in the bible. This experience gave me first hand experience in tailoring subjects to the learning styles of my students and also taught me how to bring subjects, often viewed as boring, to life for them. I really...

...in Mathematics, which is still in progress. I began tutoring students at a private company, where I worked during my senior year of high school. While at Rockhurst, I worked in the Learning Center for two years as a tutor and as a Supplemental Instructor for one year. In addition, I had the opportunity to shadow a local high school math teacher. At SLU, I worked in their Tutoring Center for one semester and during...

...student may encounter and will be able to steer a student in the right direction should he or she initially misinterpret a certain principle. Having tutored high school students in math and science for a number of years, I know how to help students get past what can initially appear to be daunting conceptual barriers. Last, but not least, I know what it's like to struggle. I am not a math and science genius who...

...but with high school, middle school and even elementary school students. I am especially comfortable tutoring ACT Science and Math, as well as any math and science academic subjects. My consistent math and science workload in college has made me confident of my mastery and ability to tutor these subjects. Outside of academics, I am passionate about global health and helping underserved communities. I spent a summer working in Kisumu, Kenya on a malnutrition project...

My dream job is to have my own research lab for idiopathic disease. This is due to scoliosis and polycystic kidney disease running in the family. My best subjects are Biology, Chemistry (biochemistry), and Calculus. I enjoy music as a means of relaxing and have classical training from my musician parents. I also enjoy calligraphy in my spare time as well as video games. Ich spreche Deutsche zu. (I speak German too).

...knowledgeable student from succeeding. I didn???t always know I wanted to be a teacher, but I have always enjoyed tutoring my friends and family when they came to me asking for help. After I graduated, I tutored a woman who was studying for the citizenship test to become a U.S. Citizen. As a native Spanish speaker, she had trouble pronouncing and understanding certain words. After two months of tutoring, she took the test and passed...

...in individualized learning and utilizing the different dynamics of learning that each student responds to. My desire to impart my love of learning to others coupled with my understanding of individualized learning tactics will hopefully positively impact students by advancing them academically and in life. I have a passion for helping others and hope to be able to impart that to students who need it. I am an alumna of the University of Kansas with...

...over the missed questions helps students find their weak areas and work on those specifically. I prefer having the student take practice tests both timed and untimed on their own time so that when we meet the entire time can be spent identifying and working on areas of concern. When I am not tutoring or working I like to spend time with my two dogs, family and friends. I enjoy being active and outdoors.

...that any student can achieve their academic goals with the right help. As a past tutor with an After School Program, I know what it takes to motivate and encourage students of any age. I am a very patient and kind teacher, but I also enjoy a few quips to keep things light throughout the learning process. I think a sense of humor is sometimes necessary in order to get through complicated lessons! I connect...

...in education. I began my College career as an education major and began teaching as soon as I graduated! I then worked on and completed my graduate degree in curriculum and instruction. I have been teaching since the 1980s. I began tutoring shortly thereafter and 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...

...University of Dallas where I am currently pursuing all subjects under the sun; however, I am leaning towards Majors in English and Classical Philology. On Monday and Wednesday afternoons, a group of my colleagues and me visit a nearby grade school to help Fourth through Eighth Graders with their Math and Reading. I love college, but I try to step outside the "ivory tower" once in a while. Outside academics, I enjoy riding my bike,...

I am a pre-med student at the University of Kansas. I am studying molecular, cellular and developmental biology. ... Practice, practice, and practice some more!... Find out their strengths and weaknesses within the subject and with their overall study methods.... Talk through the steps of solving an unknown problem, including where to look for the answer, so they can begin to learn how to do it on their own.... Remind them why we are studying and...
