More About This Tutor...

I am a passionate teacher and tutor. I believe that there is not a minute to waste when working with youth, and I like to conduct vigorous tutorials and well-paced classes. I believe that everyone has a different learning style, and this is why tutoring is such an integral supplement to classroom teaching. I enjoy getting to know my students and creating lesson plans for tutorials based on their personal learning styles. I believe that a student has to be engaged and challenged in order to learn and I absolutely provide that in my tutorials.
I earned two bachelor degrees from the University of North Carolina in December of 2007. From there, I chose to move to Massachusetts to participate in a ground breaking fellowship at MATCH Charter Public High School. I chose this alternate route to receiving teaching certification because of the classroom experience it provided me. In addition ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy teaching and working with all students and children. I am a caring, patient, and self-motivated Tutor with more than three years of experience. I have immense working knowledge of students in an academic environment and have outstanding communication and problem solving skills. I realize that some students may face common challenges during their learning journey. Developing a better understanding of these challenges, as well as techniques to address them, helps them move forward faster when these challenges arise. I also find that rather than seeing mistakes negatively, I teach my students to learn to see them as steps towards your goals.I strive to make a positive difference in all of my students' lives.
I am currently pursuing my Masters in Education, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of education, english, math and science.In addition,I am a flu ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I recognize the great responsibility of teachers to learners. I feel strongly that every child is important and I love to show my students how special they are. I bring a lot of energy and enthusiasm to my lessons. I have found that I can show children, through example, that learning can be fun and exciting and not as scary as they might sometimes feel. I am very patient and kind and have a genuine desire to see the success in others.
As an undergraduate at BYU, I served as a homeschool teacher/tutor for three young sisters. For two years, I taught these girls' Math, Chemistry, and Physics lessons. I also worked as a teaching assistant for three courses of marine biology where I assisted in lectures and lab sessions, as well as assisted student groups in developing and executing research projects. As a master's student at UNC, I served as a teaching assistant for a public hea ... read more

Being a student at UNC Chapel Hill has challenged and inspired me to think creatively and achieve excellence in all areas of academia. As a senior at Carolina I will graduate in the spring of 2012 with a BS in Biology and a minor in Chemistry—providing a thorough understanding of science. I have grammatical expertise and writing skills due to extensive research and refutation papers, and laboratory reports and essays throughout my undergraduate education. In the last several years I have tutored elementary reading and writing at the 1st-3rd grade levels working with underprivileged children. I have tutored general chemistry during my senior year in high school to honors students, and continue to tutor college students in chemistry today.
I enjoy working with children of all age ranges, and it is my personal goal to make learning a difficult subject less of a chore. I believe that h ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have always enjoyed informing others about subjects I am passionate about. Science has always been my greatest strength in school and favorite area to research on my own. While in college I was an education intern during the summer of 2004 at the North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island, where I ran educational programs and helped inform the public on certain topics. After receiving my BS in Biological Sciences, I returned to school a semester later because I realized I wanted to use my education to become a high school science teacher. After student teaching in Wake County I later taught three sections of Biology at another school. I hold a valid North Carolina Teaching License for all science subjects for grades 9-12. I have also passed the Praxis II for my subject area.
I am a young teacher, but passionate about the subjects I teach to my students. I am still developing ... read more

As a current tutor for Kaplan, I am involved with teaching future dentists how to prepare for the Dental Admission Test (DAT). Teaching prospective dental school applicants how to master this standardized test involves teaching not only test taking strategies, but also the mastery of large volumes of information. The DAT tests knowledge in the following areas: biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, reading comprehension, and mathematics. Apart from a sound base of knowledge in the sciences, I am also skilled in writing and grammar. I have either personally, or on behalf of others, researched, written, edited, and reviewed papers from a wide variety of academic disciplines ranging from Art History papers to Chemistry Lab reports. Because I have experience with such a wide variety of subject-writing, I am able to quickly and efficiently teach others how to turn mediocre papers into s ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My experience began as a tutor in college and upon graduating I taught eighth grade science, high school sciences (biology, physical and earth), community college level biology (I and II) and biotechnology. I have a MS in Biology (research/thesis and study focus in biochemistry) and have tutored students in mathematics and English. I have experience teaching exceptional children (TBI, ADD, ADHD, BD, AG or GT) and volunteered with Head Start for years.
As a tutor my initial focus is identifying the students strengths and applying them when addressing areas where the student has a deficit. It is important to motivate the student in order to give confidence in their ability to face academic challenges. The key is to establish or enhance the foundation of student learning by developing a positive relationship with developing dependency. It is also important that the student develo ... read more

In my three years in education, I have discovered that I was made to be a teacher. I have a bachelor's degree in biology and I am currently working on my master's degree. I am extremely involved in school activities and academic competitions. Science is my passion, but I also have an extensive math background. I began tutoring students in college and I have continued doing so as a teacher. I spent the past year tutoring in Durham's encore program in preparation for MATH and Reading EOG test.
I have a passion for working with children and helping them succeed. I taught math for two years and had the highest EOG scores in the school. I am a very fun, easy going, and creative person. I find ways to relate the material to the child's interest to make sure they are engaged at all times. I beleive if you can get a child's attention and make the work fun and interesting, they wil ... read more

I love hands on demonstration, where the student is tentive to the subject. I believe in the student reading to become familiar with the work and able to understand the work himself. I want all children to be able to find a passion in what they love and strive in that direction.
I have a biology degree in pre-medicine, and became a lab technician at Duke hospital. I love science and have always been interested with every aspect of science since I was young. I love learning more about schience as I have worked in the medical frield since 2007. I have tutored students a summer camps for a year. I love working with children and I have a passion to become a pediatrician in the future.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have recently graduated from the University of Richmond with a degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. I am looking forward to helping others expand their knowledge in the area of science. I have tutored high school students in chemistry and biology, and have gain knowledge of both fields through my degree in biochemistry, enabling me to be versatile in subject matter.
I am a very energetic person and try to bring that to everything that I do. I am also very concerned with providing students with an understanding of the concept behind what they are learning and what the real-world applications of those concepts are. I feel that it is the key to engage students by making them see the benefits of their education in the long run.

During my time at Duke I enjoyed rigorous pre-medical subjects like biology and chemistry, but my interests also include English and psychology. I graduated cum laude in May 2009 with B.A. degrees in Pre-Med and English/History/Psychology. More importantly, I have tutored biology, writing/grammatical skills, English, psychology, and chemistry to a wide range of students—from college to elementary aged. I hope to put my 4 years of tutoring experience to work for you!
I enjoy being with people! I envision our discussions as part of an exciting collaboration to capitalize upon your strengths and learn in the most effective, efficient, and fun way. We will learn collaboratively to insure you understand what WE have talked about before I leave. I will break down abstract concepts into simple examples and respond to your feedback immediately in a focused yet relaxed atmosphere.

I have graduated from North Carolina State University and earned a bachelors degree in Chemistry. While studying I have learned math and science as my forte but have also taken English, Spanish and history courses. I have written many reports in both my major classes and outside of them. I have been involved in many programs that help enhance children learning. I have worked diligently in the community specifically with underprivileged children to give them hope and show them that if they can believe it they can achieve it!
I love working with all children. I enjoy changing my style to fit the specific need of the child and helping them in the way they learn the best. I want to be able to help them learn to become independent problem solvers. I want to help them become an asset to the team even when they are in the classroom and I am not there to coach them through that prob ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I began 'teaching' as the head wakeboarding instructor at Coble Ski School in Lillington, NC, when I was a junior in high school. Shortly thereafter I took a position working at a beach resort in Pensacola, FL, where I spent an entire summer instructing surfing, kayaking and sailing. At Duke I tutored during each of my four years, either biweekly at a local Durham elementary school or at the Emily K Family Life Center. It is there where I tutored once weekly as a senior, up until I graduated in May. I have tutored in all subjects and all ages up through 22.
When I approach a student I've never worked with, my first priority is to make them feel comfortable by letting them see that I am a very nice, friendly, and compassionate person that they might like to have as a friend. Next I try to get them to tell me about themselves in some way (what they've been working on, their fav ... read more
