I earned my B.A. from Tulane University magna cum laude in classical languages and philosophy. I received Tulane's oldest prize, the Judah Touro Medal, for excellence in the ancient languages and philosophy. The University of Chicago awarded me a full-tuition fellowship to its Master's program with a concentration in classical languages and philosophy. Having completed the program I am now a doctoral candidate, though on leave, in a dual PhD program (classics and philosophy) at Cornell University. I've also done coursework in Latin, Greek, philosophy, chemistry, physics, biology, psychology, mathematics, and others at Columbia University, New York University, Syracuse University, C.W.

I like to keep a student well organized. This allows me to pinpoint exactly where the problems are so I can concentrate the time on the problem areas. Organization also ensure the student keeps up with the material in the class. I am available to help out with questions assigned in homework or classwork, but my objective is not to merely have the student complete an assignment, but rather understand the topic that was covered. I strive to have the student learn the material rather than just fact recall. I try to make the topics interesting to the student by relating the material to their interests. As I entered college, I quickly was labeled a tutor by my friends. They would find me before exams so I could give them a crash course on what they needed to know before an exam. Little by little, I had a following of friends and acquaintances who were reliant on me to do well in their

I am very laid back and flexible. While I might be calm I only have 3 rules, 1. Be respectful, 2. the words "I can't" are not allowed :), and 3. have fun! I tend to create games based on the skills that are being taught and I'm not into lecturing, my approach is very hands. Learning can be fun! Hey! My names Bethy! I'm 13 years old and in 8th grade. I've been tutoring since I was in 5th grade. I can tutor all ages in almost any subject. Last year I had the highest GPA in my whole school! I love teaching anyone who is willing to learn! I also teach children with learning disabilities and special needs.

With my rich experience of being a T.A. all the time in school, I have faith to make everything make sense for you and make sure you really understand it. You will never forget how to deal with a similar question when it comes to you one day. To be honest, i prefer to characterize myself as a math guy, not just because I’m an Asian and I got 770 on math in SAT, but also, I make math make sense.

I love opening students' eyes to the wonders of science. It is my experience that a student can learn anything, even the most complicated scientific theories, if the teacher is patient and engaging. In teaching, I find the key to unlocking the minds of the students is to find the appropriate analogy or metaphor. If a teacher can aptly relate a concept the student doesn’t understand to one that the student does understand, not only will the student learn the new concept, they will be far less likely to forget it in the future. I find this method to be effective in teaching concepts as complicated as quantum physics, and in teaching concepts as non-intuitive as learning how to play a drum roll. While earning my undergraduate degree in Physics, I took advantage of a work-study opportunity at Franklin and Marshall and became a Physics and Chemistry Tutor for the introductory classes. I

I enjoy teaching to students. My classes are very interactive. I want them speaking a lot. In addition having them repeat and reinforce their skills throughout the lecture. I am patient with all students no matter what level they are at. I am very outgoing and friendly. I do a lot of motivational speaking in my classes, so I can get the best out of all students. I have taught and tutored in South Korea for over the last 5 years. I taught mostly English. I developed the students speaking, writing, and reading skilly. I have taught math, science, and social studies too. I have many years of management and training experience.

I have lots of energy, and love to help people understand things they are struggling with. I really enjoy teaching people about subjects I personally enjoy, especially the sciences. I am highly reliable, have my own car, and have been teaching for over a year. But what will really set me apart is my passion and enjoyment for teaching others. I have earned two bachelor degrees from Stony Brook University, one in Philosophy and one in Environmental Studies. I am about to begin my Masters in Marine Conservation and Policy at Stony Brook University this January. I have worked as a professional tutor for over a year, both in New York and Maryland. I am an employee of Vantage Academic Solutions in Virginia, where I serve as a personal tutor. I teach middle school, high school, and college math and science subjects, as well as philosophy.

I currently hold a bachelors degree in communications and a masters degree in Early Childhood/Childhood education. I have worked in various grades which helped give me a broad understanding of the subject matter taught. My experience has helped me adapt my teaching skills to meet the needs of individual students. I enjoy teaching and working with children. I adapt my lessons and differentiate my instruction to meet the needs of each child. Everyone can learn but in various ways. I use a lot of visual aids and manipulatives to help students learn. With specific resources, patience, and enthusiasm your child can find success and have fun while learning.
