...and speaking. I received my J.D. from Indiana University Maurer School of Law, where I learned the entirely different language of the law. I enjoyed my legal research and writing course so much, that I was inspired to work for the University's Writing Tutorial Services. I am eager to continue to share my passion for learning with others and to help students feel the satisfaction of success in school. I look forward to hearing from...

...experience teaching began my junior year of high school when I started student teaching in the elementary music program. I have taught microbiology labs at Texas State as an instructional assistant and will be teaching freshman anatomy at the university of Indianapolis this year. These experiences have given me an appreciation and love of teaching. They have also taught me techniques for getting through to students who may not immediately grasp concepts. I think that...

...what sort of methods worked best for my learning style, and I bring this to my tutoring. I focus on not only on teaching students the material they need to know, but also on teaching them how to learn for themselves. I have been tutoring academic math subjects for quite some time now, including all math up to and including pre-calculus. My approach involves breaking down the concept first to the foundation, ensuring the student...

...language arts courses because I believe a solid understanding of communication and social issues is fundamental to our society's growth and development. As a tutor, I try to identify the strengths and motivations of my students in order to find out ways to help students identify with the subject matter. I find that identification of the material with concrete examples or applications makes any subject more interesting, and easier to learn. Outside of work, I...

...also studied Economics at freshman level and consider it one of the most enjoyable and illuminating courses I ever took. In addition to all this I do have a great deal of test prep experience, especially SAT. Besides SAT I have taught GMAT, GRE, SSAT, SAT-II and IB exam prep in various subjects, especially Biology, Chemistry and Business. My tutoring experience has taught me that almost every student can benefit from tutoring. For gifted students...

...out my own way to learn which caused me to understand everything in a variety of ways. This helps me as a tutor because I can teach topics many different ways. My passion is teaching math because it's so underrated for how creative and invigorating it can really be. I tend to spend just as much time giving my students confidence as I do actually teaching them. I have found that without doing this, most...

...was a student at Indiana University, I really enjoyed helping my friends who weren't English majors or who were ESL students write essays for their courses. Since then I've continued tutoring both Essay Writing and Literature, and now I'm foraying into test prep as well. I'm currently working as an Editorial Assistant for the Indiana Legislative Services Agency, so I edit state bills for grammar and punctuation, to make sure the law looks neat and...

...Process Assistant at an Amazon warehouse, which is like an assistant manager. My job is interesting, active, and varied, but I missed tutoring and want to make math and other subjects as easy as possible to approach and grasp for students. With the right time and a commitment to tailoring a tutoring style for the person being assisted, any student can pass their classes and retain lifelong knowledge and experience. I'm looking forward to working...

...public school system does not have to continue to decline; throughout my experiences I have witnessed teachers awaken within their students desire to learn, an appreciation for education, and a confidence to take bold risks. These experiences have given me a desire, with the tools Teach for America provides their corps members, to help make each student I encounter a more self-aware and self-assured member of a world community that celebrates discovery.

...with math in middle school and just never seemed to be able to get it to 'click.' Then, I had a very patient teacher who helped me figure out how I could learn math, and it was like the wall crashed down. I would love to see every teacher have to teach his or her worst subject for a couple of years, in order to figure out how to become a better instructor.... Any subject can...

...day and age, the abundant knowledge and understandings we receive from those who came before us are absolutely necessary to get into a good college, find a good job, and make a good living. For many, this is the more important "purpose of education." I remain hesitant to place such a high value on something that is so essentially material, but it is hard not to mention it. The role of the student in education...

I am a high school English teacher for Indianapolis Public Schools and previously I have tutored students for GED preparation, ESL and writing composition. I enjoy interacting with people from different cultures and learning about other countries. I believe we are all capable of accomplishing anything we put our minds to do. However, sometimes we need a little...

...volunteering, and spending time with my family. Prior to medical school, I worked for several years for a test preparation company teaching and tutoring the SAT. My tutoring strategies are tailored to each student and subject, but often involve building the student's confidence through practice questions and test-taking strategies. Going into a test feeling confident can make a world of difference! I love seeing my student's hard work pay off. My schedule in the summer...

...spread this enthusiasm to others. As a tutor, I aim to not only help explain concepts and help students who are struggling, but also to instill a furthered respect and interest in their school work. I enjoy working with others and aim to utilize a multitude of learning styles to ensure an enriching tutoring experience so that students can not only perform better on assignments, but they can also become better learners overall.

...that level. Hopefully through tutoring, more students will have the necessary skills they need to excel in higher education. History is my favorite subject to study and teach, however, it is such a interdisciplinary study that I find myself constantly studying literature, politics, government, essay writing, etc. I am always fascinated by the stories of civilization and its development. I am passionate about learning proper writing styles and techniques as it appears to be one...

...my pre-school to my Master's degree, I've found tutors and teachers who helped shape a love of learning in me. Drawing on my own experience, I believe making connections between subjects and personal interests is key to instilling excitement in any topic. Helping students form these connections develops a desire to learn which often lasts beyond succeeding in a single class. I am happy to assist with a wide variety of subjects from ACT prep...

...also think it is important that learning is not just for one assignment or one test, but rather that it sticks with you to build a solid foundation of knowledge and confidence that you can carry forward. My favorite subjects to tutor include English, SAT test preparation, math, and psychology. My approach to tutoring is to meet the student where they're at and go from there. I find that this way we can build a...

...tutored for many years and I have found that students may learn in different ways and all can excel. I like to present material in an engaging and relevant manner so that we can all learn and achieve success. One-on-one tutoring is an effective technique, particularly for explaining and modeling math, and I enjoy seeing students attitudes toward school brighten when they see immediate progress in their work. As a writing tutor, I like to...

Everybody has a different learning style and once we hone in on the right one for you, an improvement in scores will become more than apparent. Overall, I find tutoring to be an incredibly rewarding profession and I am eager to continue to support students in discovering a passion for their education. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, running, cooking,...
