My comments on tutoring PSAT : Scored 760/800 on only try; have previously taught SAT prep at Kaplan.

I have 10 years of teaching experience with students in math and chemistry. For 4 of those years I ran a tutoring business in North Carolina working mainly with college prep students needing AP course and test prep help in math, chemistry and statistics. I have also worked as an analytical chemist for 9 years, working in pharmaceuticals and forensics labs. Additionally I have served as an assistant coach for the Ohio math team that represents the state in national math competitions.

I really enjoy working with students, especially at the college level, who have not experienced a great deal of success in a particular subject and aspire to do better. I believe that the key to any kind of scientific or mathematical learning is repetition. It is first important to get to the heart of the concept, and see what is holding someone back from understanding something. After that, it is all about repetition, once a student has seen many examples I have found that it will click all of a sudden.
I graduated from Ohio State in June 2011 with a BS in molecular genetics. I graduated with honors and with a GPA of 3.657. I have taken the MCAT with a score of 33 (10-BS, 12-PS, 11-V). I have never worked professionally as a tutor but I have tutored friends extensively throughout my college experience. I have an extensive background in biology, physics, chemistry, and the h ... read more

I am a dynamic teacher who can adapt to whatever it seems the student most immediately needs. While I prefer a more laid-back, go-with-the-flow approach to tutoring, I am also able to be more structured when a child appears to require a more regimented schedule. I am a passionate reader with the ability to find a just-right book for even the most reluctant reader, and I love helping students with writing, no matter how much of a struggle it may be for him or her. While I enjoyed classroom teaching immensely, I also realized how often individual students are overlooked for the needs of the whole group, and as a tutor, I am excited to be able to help each child individually. My strengths lie in interpersonal and kinesthetic areas, and I use those skills to relate well to adolescents and their parents.

Being a current student myself, I can appreciate the hardships and struggles of education. I feel that you must always level with your students, no matter what the age. The students are the ones who must lead the class. However, we as educators have a duty to guide and to nourish this idea. We must be leaders who encourage a positive and productive learning environment, while also maintaining an enjoyable experience. I believe in a split between communicative and explicit teaching. Students are given input through examples and other meaningful activities. They then are encouraged to attempt their own output through group work, homework, or discussion. At this point, students are prepared to solidify their learning with charts, graphs, mnemonic devices, and/or questions/answer sessions. Finally, new material is segued into the review, restarting the learning cycle. This overlap ... read more

I believe a supportive environment is critical for an excellent learning experience. First, I work to set up an environment of mutual respect, a place where the student knows I respect him or her and the student respects me. To accomplish this task, I actively engage with the student by showing an interest in the student's life. Essentially, I get to know the student. I then aim to clarify the subject matter the student finds challenging. If they still find a concept confusing, I approach the topic in an alternate manner. I do not give up on the student or the topic; I believe every student can understand a challenging concept by having a teacher explain it to them in a way the student finds comprehensible.
In high school, I served as a tutor for elementary school students for the state program Ohio Reads. At the University of Pittsburgh, I earned a BA in English Writing with min ... read more

I am an Ohio certified teacher with 10+ years of teaching experience. I have taught in both public and private schools, in elementary and middle schools. I have tutored and taught outside the tradition classroom in the field of mathematics for grades K-college including General Mathematics, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, College Algebra, Integrated Mathematics, SAT/ACT prep, and EMT mathematics. I have edited and contributed to an Algebra Readiness program for a local editorial company and have edited and contributed to a Mathematics Intervention program, grades PreK-8. Currently I am a project editor for the English Language Development section of our Language Arts program.

While I have not tutored academically in the past, I have taught my community's equivalent of the DARE program to fourth grade classes for two years and have also taught art lessons to children of all ages.
I feel very strongly that every child has the ability to learn when they are given the right encouragement. While working on my Japanese minor I quickly discovered that finding a method that works for an individual student is the most important part of studying productively. I feel that my fresh, creative outlook will supplement the classroom experience well and offer alternative methods to learning that may not be available at your child's school.

More About This Tutor...

I've worked with both high school and college students, both gifted and disadvantaged students, and I believe that the key to being a successful tutor is understanding your student and how he/she learns. Through my experiences, I've learned how to explain subject matter in a way that enables students to repeat back to me in their own words what I just explained. This is critical. I believe students learn best by understanding first, and memorizing when applicable. I'm able to gauge where my students are in their education and get them where they need to be.
I am a recent graduate of The Ohio State University, where I earned my BS in Microbiology. My strong background in science and mathematics allowed me to tutor students in both chemistry and microbiology during my time as an undergraduate.

A Little Bit About Me...

I prefer whole class instruction where students work together to determine mathematical knowledge and develop skills. As the teacher, I prefer to facilitate by choosing the lesson topics aligned with curriculum with activities that promote maximum learning by students cooperatively discovering mathematical concepts.
I have taught at 3 community colleges algebra I, II, geometry, and trigonometry. I have 5 years teaching high school algebra and geometry. I am certified to teach in Maryland and my Ohio teaching certificate is pending. I have also edited math textbooks for McGraw-Hill. I have tutored individual students both in the capacity of my regular teaching jobs as well as a private tutor.

Graduating from a liberal arts univeristy with a Bachelor's degree in Biology along with a minor in Chemistry has provided for me an incredibly well rounded educational experience. I have a solid understanding of the the natural sciences along with comprehensive lab experience in anatomy, physiology, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, along with other disciplines. As a Junior and Senior I found it very rewarding to help the younger students grasp biochemical concepts.
Since I find Biochemical processes so exciting, it is easy for me to get other students excited about them as well. Many students feel that the sciences are boring and dull. However, when I explain the processes to the students in their own terms instead of the textbooks they begin to realize that it can be fun! The first step to getting a student to understand the natural sciences is to spark some interest. This ... read more

I love working with children of all ages and I believe that all children should have an equitable education. Because of the skills and abilities I possess in reading I have been able to help my own child achieve beyond her grade level and she is currently in the gifted program for reading. Because I am a school counselor by profession I make sure that I always listen to students and help them overcome any obstacles they may face. I believe that with individual attention all students are capable of excelling in their academics.
During my undergraduate studies at OSU I was trained by Americorps to tutor elementary students in reading and math. I worked for two years in the Columbus Public School System helping students that were behind their grade level in those subject areas. In my current high school position I teach a Career Based Intervention class and I assist students with thei ... read more
