I am a 23 year old graduate of Vanderbilt University, Class of 2014. I majored in Medicine, Health, and Society, while minoring in Philosophy. I began my undergraduate career as a pre-mededical student, but eventually transitioned towards preparation for law school, though I completed all of the pre-med requirements besides Physics. Throughout my undergraduate education I became well-versed in the areas of General Chemistry, Biology, Algebra I & II, and English, among other subject areas. Prior to my entry into college, I took both the SAT and ACT, and scored exceptionally well on both of them. I am currently working as a paralegal at Peter T. Skeie & Associates, a law firm representing individuals in Social Security and ERISA disability claims. I will be attending law school in the fall of 2015, with my school choice TBD within the next couple months.

I begin by assessing the student's abilities, determining both their strengths and weaknesses. I make sure to have a solid understanding of what the student wants to gain/learn from the tutoring session. After the initial assessment, I focus on relevant problems, and explain my thought process in detail. I have the student work their own problems and approach each problem with the method I have taught them. I believe it is easier to grasp complex/technical math and science problems when you provide real life applications, so I also work to introduce these scenarios during the tutoring session. I am a Biomedical Engineering graduate from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. I graduated with a 3.24 grade point average on a 4.0 scale. I know how to properly approach and solve problems as well as explain my thought process by focusing on the rationale behind each step in the problem. I hav

As a tutor, I find that it is important to present the material to the students in a way that they can relate to. My job as an educator is to teach them how to learn it and make them want to learn it. I personally do not believe that negative reinforcement is beneficial. Positive responses to students are extremely valuable, even if they may occasionally give the wrong answer. This will give them the motivation to do well. My philosophy is that teaching is part knowledge, part communication, and part intuition. My intuition is necessary to understand where a student is getting stuck. I myself already understand the material; the challenge is to understand why a student does not. A variety of communicative teaching approaches is best. I have learned that different students respond to visual, auditory, or tactile methods. As always, continuous practice is extremely important. I also must

I am a native Chinese speaker who has experience of tutoring Chinese for three years. I taught international students Chinese when I was in my college in China. Now I am a student in Vanderbilt university. I have some friends from America and other countries. They are interested in Chinese. I teach them for free every week. I love teaching Chinese. I believe that interest is the best teacher. I have lots of experience living and traveling in different cities in China. I will tell you stories of diverse aspects of China. You will have a great chance to know Chinese culture. That will help you form a high personal motivation of learning Chinese. Besides that, I love to practice Chinese with my student in different scenes. This will makes you impressive and helps you understand the usage of Chinese. What I said above is the way I usually use when I am teaching Chinese. But, I know every st

My name is Richard DiTullio and I have been interested in the sciences and education for many years. I received my BA in Biology from Drew University and went on to obtain my PhD in Molecular Biology from the University of Pennsylvania. Throughout my career I have been involved in educating my fellows both formally in tutoring and classroom situations and informally during on the job training. I currently teach Health and Wellness courses at the University of Phoenix and have been tutoring in the Nashville area for the last 4 years. My philosophy is that a student should not only know the right answer but understand how to come to the right answer and the relevance of this knowledge in their daily lives. I dedicate myself to patient explanations of the materials leavened with entertaining trivia and asides that add context and a little fun to the learning. I look forward to learning

I have taught algebra I for 6 years and tutored it for 12 years. I have been teaching math since 8/2000. I first began teaching in a large urban district and then switched to teaching in a private school. I have taught math at both the high school and middle school levels. The subjects I have taught include algebra I and II, geometry, AP Calculus AB,and middle school math. I have tutored math every year that I taught, and also tutored GED math for 1 year. I think that I am very clear and concise in my explanations of concepts. I am also very good at explaining concepts in multiple ways. So if a student doesn't get how to do a problem using one method, I can go over another approach. I'm a good listener.
