I graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC in 2008, the oldest English speaking acting conservatory in the world. I graduated Summa from University of St Thomas with a BA in English, and just wrapped up a MS in Data Science from Northwestern. I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.... Positivity. Always. I believe that if a student is given positive tools and is...

I'm a college student at UT Austin studying Philosophy and Biomedical Engineering. I've tutored students from 2nd grade to college in subjects ranging from basic math to E & M Physics, but most of my experience is in SAT and ACT prep. I have pride in my ability to assess where students are and what they need to achieve their goals, and hope to work with many more students through Varsity.

...algebra, and in test prep skills. My ultimate desire is not only to help students understand subjects that they may be struggling with, but to help them cultivate a interest in and passion for the material itself. Understanding and ability in a subject is great, but a true desire for knowledge outside of the classwork itself creates a student driven by curiosity and interest instead of just wanting to pass the class. In my free...

...this same passion for learning so that they are motivated to continue learning new material during their high school and college years. I have been tutoring for years and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience I have gained and the friendships I have made with other students. My biggest priority is meeting the educational needs of my students in any way possible, and I strive to meet this goal in each and every tutoring session.... My teaching...

...am a graduate of the University of Washington, Seattle with a Bachelors degree in General Biology, and I absolutely love tutoring. I went through the entire pre-med process, but decided to pursue a career in ethnopharmacology instead. During my free time, you will find me either writing songs on my guitar, swimming, surfing, cooking, or spending time with my friends and family. My approach to teaching is to first understand how the student learns so...

...in high school, and retook many of the math and sciences class in college. I think this helps with tutoring because I learned the material multiple times and from many great teachers, so if a student doesn't understand a concept at first, I can hopefully explain it in another way that I've learned. I like working with students that are self motivated and want to have a tutor, no matter their current skill level in...

...student wants and then figures what to work on in order to get there. I've been both a student and teacher of guitar, and I try to take that teaching style into my tutoring. I never start by explaining material or by "simplifying" it (because that usually means repeating it again and again!) but by listening to the student and finding out exactly the student already knows and what his or her strengths are, and...

...age groups learn - from kids, to college students, to adults. I tutor a wide variety of subjects including math, Spanish, ESL, and test prep. I really enjoy tutoring geometry and algebra or SAT prep. My tutoring strengths include finding multiple ways to explain things for my students and giving real value to the learning process so that information can be retained. Outside of the academic world, I love to listen to and make music....

...in my free time. I have always gravitated towards STEM topics and grew to love them as I learned more about them. I learned early on that you know the material well if you can fully explain a subject to a person and have them understand the topic as a result. Helping my peers became a way for me to solidify my understanding of topics. I have found that I enjoy explaining things to others...

...analytical. I challenged myself throughout high school by taking the most challenging STEM classes and consistently performed well in them. Due to this, oftentimes I saw myself tutoring my classmates and helping them with their assignments. That is when I realized the only thing I loved more than learning was teaching. I absolutely love helping my students achieve their goals and seeing their eyes light up as they succeed. I pursued my passion for tutoring...

...the requirement for National Honor Society and Mu Alpha Theta (math honor society). I enjoy tutoring ACT and SAT test prep, calculus, physics, and computer science because I have previous experience tutoring these subjects. I want to make sure that students I'm tutoring have a strong foundation in the subjects they are learning because a thorough understanding requires knowledge of the basics. Outside of school, my passions include playing soccer, traveling, and playing the piano.

...tone and author's preconceived notions about the student's background. Therefore, when I tutor I build the framework from the ground up and depend a lot on visual aids (diagrams and charts) rather than formulas and numbers. I believe that there is no such thing as a dumb question and I address each question as many times as necessary . I also include a lot of examples and encourage the students to come up with their...

...at MD Anderson Cancer Center since that time. I have always been interested in helping students master science and math. I tutored chemistry as an undergraduate and more recently have worked with high school students in a variety of math and science subjects. I always strive to set goals with the student and plan a path to meet those goals. Additionally, I always encourage students, especially young children, to be inquisitive and develop an interest...

...that I had a talent for teaching; I understand concepts very easily, and explanations come easy as well. The goal that I work towards for my students is to bless them holistically, both through my academic skills and through any relationship that I am able to build with them. I believe in teaching my key patterns of thinking; teach them how to fish instead of giving them a fish, as it is said. I am...

...have an expertise in languages, I decided to teach areas in the field of natural sciences because those are the subjects that I am most passionate about. I was born in Taiwan; however, even before I learned how to speak, I moved to the States. Hence, my first language was English. In third grade, my parents decided to move back to Taiwan to aid in my education of the Chinese language. Of course, learning Chinese...

...short term and long term. Languages and the human brain are my passions. I love studying and learning new languages; I speak Italian and Spanish, some Portuguese and some Korean. A goal of mine is to learn French, and to continue to study Portuguese and Korean so that I become fluent. I am very interested in neuroscience and how the body functions. These two passions of mine sparked my interest to question how languages work...

...time asking others for help. However, once I did, the tutors that I had quite literally changed how I studied and learned material. Specifically, a tutor that I had in Organic Chemistry really changed my entire perspective on it. He showed me new ways to learn the material, motivated me when I was doubting myself, and was always there to ask questions if needed. His encouragement is the reason I started to believe in myself,...

I am a graduate of University of Guanajuato (Mexico) where I received a Bachelor's degree in Education. I have taught in schools in Mexico and Texas. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, traveling, and teaching/learning languages.

...and Child Learning and Development from the University of Texas at Dallas. I am currently a graduate student in the Communication Sciences and Disorders program at Texas State University. I plan to pursue a doctorate following my graduate degree. I tutor in the following subjects: American Sign Language, Elementary School subjects, Middle School subjects, Spelling Bee, and Math, more specifically, elementary school math, middle school math, pre-algebra, and algebra. Aside from school courses, I also...

...importance for everyone to deeply understand the subject. This will help us to make sound decisions on how to avoid becoming conspicuous consumers and to lead a planet-friendly lifestyle. When I interacted with students, I realize that students are not getting the right kind of education about environmental science. Students take the subject lightly and insignificant. Current education system discourages associative learning and teaching methods are compartmentalized. I foster 'learning centric' pedagogy where the generative...
