I like to find out what my students are interested in - I will make the subject matter approachable by relating it to the student's interests! I've been helping people understand material for as long as I can remember! I am always more proud of myself for teaching material to others than I am learning it myself! I've been a teaching assistant for computer science for multiple semesters, volunteer at Girls Inc assisting with tech courses for middle schoolers, have done science demos to classrooms of elementary kids, and tutored for multiple computer science courses. I am in iOS programmer looking to tutor intro Computer Science classes. I can teach more advanced ones depending on the language uses.

I have never been someone who "just gets it" when it comes to math or science, and so I understand more than many people who pursued degrees in these subjects just how puzzling they can be. Math seems like it is filled with "tricks" that seem impossible to know unless you were born with some innate gift. When I teach, I seek to show, step-by-step. how to think about a problem as more than a set of symbols on paper. I seek to impart the critical thinking skills that reveal why those tricks aren't tricks at all, but are instead a natural part of the grammar of math and science. I graduated from Duke University in 2009 with a triple-major in Biomedical Engineering, Economics, and Mathematics. I have tutored in Economics and spent four years mentoring middle-schools students in Engineering as a Techtronics Fellow.

My philosophy of teaching is to train the student to think like a scientist and/or mathematician. It is not just about getting the right answer but rather understanding the fundamental principals of a subject. This enables the student to try previously unseen problems and succeed. I also believe in varying the techniques used. If a student has trouble with their teacher or text books approach, a different method should be explored. Imparting true understanding is a satisfying experience that I always aim for. I am a graduate student transitioning from physics to astrophysics, my goal being a PhD in Astrophysics. My undergraduate degree is a BS in Physics with a minor in astronomy. Because of the nature of physics, I have been exposed to many types of science and mathematics. I am also experienced with professional writing as required for producing lab reports and research papers, some of

I started my teaching experience as a hired math tutor for the University of Maryland while I was getting my BS in Civil Engineering. While pursuing my MS and PhD in Civil Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley I was a teaching assistant for 4 years. I taught both undergraduate and graduate level classes with responsibilities including: writing and drafting a course reader from professor’s lectures; designing, organizing, writing, and compiling assignments and projects; teaching weekly lab and discussion sessions during which students worked in teams to complete long term projects; mentoring students during weekly office hours; proctoring and grading exams and projects. I am comfortable teaching all levels of mathematics. Wanting to teach is the major reason I got my PhD. I've always had a love of learning, and want to be able to share that with students.

I earned my BS in computer science from Washington University. I have prepared three high school students for the SAT. They ended up at Cornell, American, and UCSD. I have also prepared two middle school students for the SSAT. I have taught JAVA and English to high school students as well. I possess strong writing skills. I recognize good writing. I can improve a student's writing style and grammar. As everyone else touts, I can also relate to young adults. My method is simple and effective. I solve problems with my students. As I solve problems I explain the underlying concept/strategy/trick behind the problem. After explaining all the concepts my students and I go through as many problems as possible. I tweak their approach, and if necessary explain again the necessary concept. There is a lot of drilling involved. I assign very small homework assignments so that we do not

I love making a difference in a child's life, whether it is academic or to get them organized to be more successful in the long run. I feel that I am patient and lack judgment on the child as each child is different and learns in different ways. After struggling with my academic career, I feel that my best way of helping the child is help them since I did not always have the resources available to succeed. I want them to feel that they can do anything. I am a first generation college graduate from Saint Mary's College of CA with a degree in Sociology/Anthropology which has allowed me to work with a variety of age groups in different socioeconomic backgrounds. I have extensive experience in writing research reports and tutoring experience in a variety of subjects from K-12.

I graduated from Syracuse University with a dual-major in History and Social Studies Education. I have extensive knowledge in reading, writing, and grammar due to writing two thesis papers, taking several writing-intensive courses, and also creating a plethora of lesson plans. While at Syracuse I was a student-teacher for a full year in both a Suburban, 8th grade classroom and Urban, 9-11th grade classrooms. I was also a reading tutor for an at-risk 6th grade student for a semester at a Syracuse District elementary school. On campus, I tutored Foreign Graduate students on their English speaking and comprehension skills for three years. Since graduation, I have obtained my New York State Teaching Crendentials. Teaching is a very strong passion of mine and I intend on continuously working in the field of Education for many years. I am a firm believer that every child has the ability

I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. You cant give up. Everyone will get it eventually. People just take longer than others. But when they finally get it, they are good to go. I also have a tough time learning things at first but then they become permanently ingrained in my long term memory. 3.6 high school gpa, honor roll BS in Business Administration. 1 year tutoring algebra experience trigonometry, pre-calculus, finite math, statistics experience. 3.5 gpa in college and a deans list member

I believe being a good teacher is essentially giving your student the key to unlock the many wonders of the world around them. I do not believe that there is anything that people cannot do or understand; they just need the tools to look at information from the right angle in order to understand how all the pieces go together. As a teacher, I try to understand my students, and how each interprets information. Working with students in a variety of roles has made me very patient. Patience and problem solving are keys to being an effective teacher. Growing up in a house where excellence was not only required, it was considered the most important item, and I was expected to deliver. This demand to consistently produce the best results, gave me a drive to take on big challenges and make sure I succeeded. Not only was I given a drive to achieve but I was also taught to give back and share what

I am a graduate of Chico State with a BS in Computer Science and I was a student of their honors program. I was not a formal tutor, but I spent a lot of time with junior classmates helping them to understand their projects and meet their deadlines. After graduating, I worked as an instructor at Mendocino College. I taught computer science classes to young adults from different backgrounds and with different learning styles. I worked as an Instructional Aide at Charter Academy of the Redwoods. I worked with middle and high school students throughout the day and tutored individual students on occasion. As a student, I am driven to understand the nature of things. As a teacher, I work to help others understand them. From my experience, I have learned to be patient with people who are afraid of failure and to push students who are easily bored with basic work. I have earned a bachel

I love putting energy into kids and being able to help them reach their potential. Each child is able to learn. It is finding that aspect that clicks for them (verbal, visual, written) and how they associate tasks and goals. I look forward to working with your child and give them the best chance to succeed. I have taught in a church setting with both Jr. High and High School students for 17 years. Both in a large setting, small groups and one-on-one. Mentoring was also a big part of this so I have learned how to meet kids where they are and interact with them at their level and learning style. I have a BA in Youth Ministry and Bible. In addition I have worked in the IT field for 20 years now and also have alot of knowledge in mathematics and architecture.
