My philosophy on teaching is not centered just on the concept at hand, but rather on the goal of helping the student develop the skills to expand on that concept and apply them to other problems. When I tutored other college students at the UW, I helped my students explore topics from every possible angle we could think of so that the student can fully develop a solid grasp of that topic, and lay down the foundations needed to be able to apply that learning and understanding to other situations and problems. Thus, even with a limited set of practice problems, I believe that with the right approach, a student can learn to work their way through an unlimited set of problems, given the proper tools and a solid foundation on a subject.
As an undergraduate student at the University of Washington, I pushed myself to excel academically. I received a BS in Biochemistry and a BA in dance, a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a considerate and patient teacher. I relate theory to practical scenarios when I teach. My objective of teaching is to make sure that the students understand the subject. I have an interactive session with my students asking them questions and allowing them raise their doubts. This way students get a vivid understanding of the subject and are attentive throughout the tutoring session.
I am a PhD graduate in computer engineering. My research is on applied math. I am proficient in teaching Probability & Statistics calculus, algebra and other math related subjects. I have had experiences teaching Math and computer science to undergraduate students.

I tutored programming and math while earning my degree. I currently work as a substitute teacher at Bellevue Christian School. Last year while subbing at BCS I also worked at Mathnasium. During 2008-2009 I taught an Introduction to Computer Programming class, and a Math-lab class at BCS, as well as working as a sub. I also tutored math and computer programming at the University of Washington – Bothell. In addition, I have also worked at Lake Washington Technical College, and taught / tutored pre-algebra, algebra, business math, and industrial / technical math, as well as introduction to computer programming fundamentals. At the same time I also tutored C programming at Bellevue (Community) College.
I believe that most students want to learn and are capable of learning, but math seems to have developed this mystique that one needs to be extra smart to figure it out. I ... read more

I love to introduce students to new ways of thinking about language, literature, culture, and history; there's nothing better than "seeing the light go on". My aim is to help students discover their own unique style and set of skills, and enable them to develop the tools they'll need to write in academic and professional settings. These values include succinctness, readability, and expressiveness. I believe that a methodical and organized approach to writing at each level—sentence, paragraph, and essay—provides the structure and discipline needed for true freedom of expression, and I encourage students in the basics like spelling, punctuation, grammar, and outlining, while emphasizing imagination and creativity of thought.
I got my BA in linguistics from the University of Washington, and earned an MLitt and PhD in English language from the University of Glasgow, Scotland. My traini ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My interest in educating others sparked when I first conducted a training program for engineers in my work place. Since then I explored the field of learning and development and gained a lot of knowledge on how knowledge flows from person to person. Inspired by my findings, I did my master’s thesis on Knowledge Management. Today, I share my knowledge with my co-workers by presenting new information. I do it in a way that is interesting and easy to understand. If there is one way I can differentiate myself with others, it is the way I share and present knowledge. I am interesting in tutoring under graduates, high school students on math, physics, chemistry, statistics and computer science.
I help people to understand complex ideas, gain new knowledge by presenting the information that is interesting and easy to follow. I use a lot of analogy when presenting the information. I ch ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Education, youth and adult continuing education are great passions of mine. I believe that every student has the capacity to learn and has room for improvement. I don't believe that education has to be dull and I value creative approaches to learning, all the while keeping a keen eye on the task at hand. I throughly enjoy learning each student's individual personality and strive to find ways to make material approachable, relevant and practical. Sometimes the "trick" is just to relate to what they already know and love. Key educators made a profound impact on my life and it's my simple desire to continue to do the same for others.
I place a high value on practical education. I graduated high school at the top of my class and received my AA degree just a few of months later- all while working full-time. I then obtained my BA in Organizational Management and I am now in a loca ... read more

While completing my BS in engineering, I spent two years tutoring math, physics, and optics. During my senior year I was also able to teach a portion of two terms of the freshman optics class. During the last four years I have worked as an aerospace engineer, and as a private contractor. Although these weren't teaching positions, I believe that these experiences have given me unique opportunities to share my knowledge and will be helpful to me in the future for teaching and tutoring.
What strikes me most as I look back at my education is how much of an impact a teacher can have when they make their subject relevant to their students. When I am teaching I try to find out what motivates each student as a person, in addition to what is motivating them to take the class. My goal is to find a way to present the material in such a way that the experience of learning is a journey of ... read more

I am a strong believer that all students have the ability to learn complicated subjects. My goal is to help students gain a fundamental understanding of the material through an encouraging and positive work environment. I always like to take a step back from specific coursework and ensure that the student understands the big picture. I also like to use comprehendible analogies and examples to help teach complicated subject matter, as well as how to solve difficult problems. At the end of the day, I hope that a student has become a better problem solver, and has gained a deeper fundamental understanding of the material at hand.

I believe that every student can learn, given the right approach. Sometimes the "right approach" requires explaining the concept in several different ways, or includes a more interactive process with experimentation or discussion. I try to work with each student to find the correct approach. In addition, I believe that one of the most important parts of tutoring is giving the student confidence in their own abilities, and I try to provide as much encouragement as possible.
I graduated in May 2009 with a BS in Engineering from Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering, a prestigious technical school in Needham, Massachusetts. Aside from my engineering coursework, I completed an arts and humanities concentration and capstone in Political Science, focusing on third world development and ethno-political conflict. I served as a course assistant for math and science courses throughout m ... read more

Throughout my life I have had the pleasure of working with children through school groups, summer camps, English camps in Eastern Europe, and in the classroom. While my role may change in each setting, the constant in each, is addressing the needs of the child as paramount concern. I feel I shouldn’t enter any teaching situation with pre-conceived notions of what a student is capable of, rather first assess what level they are at, and then tailor learning goals to the particular learner. I am honest with students, not hiding what I am trying to teach them; rather, involve them in the whole process of learning. With regards to instruction, I feel that there are many different methods for teaching. Clearly what works for one student, doesn’t always work for the other. Having flexibility with instructional tools and approaches allows me to meet the individual needs of the learner.

In college I volunteer tutored at the Crawford Country READ center to a pupil struggling with reading comprehension, writing and mathematics. In addition to this, during my senior year at Allegheny College I was a teaching assistant for a Research Design and Statistics I and II course. Furthermore, I am currently living in Pittsburgh as a private tutor. As a recent college graduate I can understand the difficulties some students may face in grasping course material and feel capable of connecting and conveying information in an effective way.
In the past I have worked with students both one and one and within a group setting, and feel comfortable adapting to any particular group or individual's needs. I believe effective teachers must compose a delicate balance of meticulous discipline and natural concern. The best teachers and professors of my academic career were not only intellig ... read more

As a graduate of the University of Washington's English program, I have studied a variety of concepts and theory in literature and critical analysis. I have extensive experience in writing a wide range of papers as well as editing my peers and my own writing. I have been fortunate to tutor several students in my area in mathematics, English, arts and sciences. I have also lead a team in providing a reading mentorship in Port Elizabeth, South Africa while re-organizing their library. My experience in written and oral storytelling has also enabled me to work in an afterschool program teaching young students how to organize and perform their own stories.
I believe education should enrich and engage a students mind. I work very hard to make connections for what students are learning to what they are passionate about. Through strong encouragement and support, I make an effort to give st ... read more

During my undergraduate years at the University of Oregon, I spent several months in Mexico teaching English to children ranging in age from 6-15. During this time I perfected my Spanish as well, and wrote many papers in both Spanish and English. While pursuing my Electrical Engineering degree at the University of Tulsa, I taught Kumon math classes to children, and fellow Engineering students in electronics. I have kept up my French reading and speaking skills. Recently I have been intensively studying dance, especially salsa, Argentine tango, and African, and have been taking some ballet classes. I find that I am very effective at helping beginning dance students to develop their talents.
I am good at tuning in with each individual's basic nature, and working with the talents that they do have but may not recognize. Through patience and a playful sense of fun, I can help p ... read more
