I truly believe in learning by doing. Being shown the answer never helps anyone. You must go through the process of doing to be confident in your abilities. I try to make the student feel as comfortable as possible with making mistakes. That's the whole point of studying, to improve. This requires a lot of patience and understanding of how the student views the assignment. Looking back the teachers that I learned the most from were the ones that kept my attention and had practical experience with the courses I was taking. I hope to emulate them in my tutoring. I have recently graduated from Virginia Tech where I majored in Biological Sciences. This included biology, physics, and chemistry as focus points. My tutoring experience has been volunteer work. Throughout my academic career I have always helped others, from explaining difficult concepts to peer reviewing papers in colle

I have considerable experience working with college/high school students and I really enjoy impacting their lives by imparting knowledge and skills to them. I know that all students face challenges in learning certain concepts or ideas, and that each has their own learning style. I strive to present information in a number of different ways - visual, verbal, practical, theoretical, etc. that are tailored to the learning style of individual students. I believe in instilling a strong grasp of fundamental, underlying concepts and building from those to more detailed or advanced ideas. I have over 14 years experience in applying statistics, mathematical modeling and operations research techniques to complex national security policy problems at a major "think tank". In addition, I recently completed teaching an international relations theory course at the University of Richmond. In addit

I love learning and understanding new concepts and ideas. So while attending Emory & Henry college I was excited about tutoring at the local school to help Children gain a better grasp on the things they were learning in class. After graduating with Bachelors degrees in Math and Physics, I wanted to continue to learn more and keep passing on what I had learned to others. As a Graduate Teaching assistant at the University of Kansas, I was able to keep learning about Mathematics and teach and tutor classes of students in everything from basic college algebra to Calculus and Statistics. As a flexible and understanding tutor, I will be fully engaged in trying to help my students learn their new material and pay attention for any gaps in their basic knowledge of the subject that I can help to fix. Since I am laid back and patient, tutoring will be a low stress environment, which is something
