Don't risk your grade/money on mere paper qualifications

You will see many ads by former or current professors trying to make a buck on the side. They are terrible tutors - they spent their whole careers having students beg them for a better grade. I have spent my whole life learning how to explain the most complex concepts to absolutely anybody. You will also see many people touting a related professional position as qualification. Many of them got their positions through nepotism and cheating to get paper qualifications (Some are my former clients) and neither have a good understanding of the material nor do they explain things well. I have run this business catering to client's needs for over a decade now. My rates are due to supply and demand - I have a busy schedule full of repeat customers and their referrals. I have many paper qualifications as well, but they honestly don't tell you much. Help with a particular program also depe ... read more

I'd love to help you succeed.

I am a 2011 graduate of the United States Naval Academy with a Bachelors of Science in Political Science. During my education, I was exposed to many subjects, ranging from Electrical Engineering to European Literature. The most important things I learned during my time there were time management and study skills, because without a strong foundation in those subjects, one can not excel in others.
I am a very patient person, and I like to help. It may take a session or two, but I'm confident that I can adapt my teaching style to meet your needs.

I'm here to help!

I have a relaxed, stress-free teaching style, while staying on task and topic. I make sure the pupils really understand the material by breaking things down to the basics, and reviewing the foundations. After reviewing and application of the concepts, I have my students switch roles and "teach" me the material. I believe if you can explain the material to someone else, you really understand it.
I double-majored in biology in chemistry in undergrad, so the field of science and medicine is my first love and my strength.

A Little Bit About Me...

Every student learns differently, so what may work for one will not work for another. I am a very hands-on and nurturing instructor who loves learning from the student even as I teach them. I don't like to confine a student in their way of thinking or processing material simply because it is how I get things done; to learn effectively a student must have a sense of freedom. With the proper environment and a patient and open-minded instructor, a student can achieve great things. I can remember the names of every teacher or professor who has left an impact on my life because of their kindness and willingness to listen to me instead of talk at me. It would be an honor to return that favor, in helping teach another.
In high school I worked in the local elementary schools helping students with their homework in addition to supplementing what they learned in class with additional activit ... read more

I believe in teaching the individual. Every student learns differently, therefore I have always presented the material in as many ways as possible. If you asked any of my former students what my favorite phrase was, they would say "you do what works best for you!" I have a passion for educating, I am flexible,and patient.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love watching learners understand and succeed. As an instructor, I look at each student as an individual whose learning style is unique to them, and then I adapt my instruction to best fit their style. I love getting up and moving, playing games, and using creativity to bring understanding of a concept. If teachers will truly get to know their students and show them how to learn the best way that fits them, the possibilities are endless.

I believe it is very important to teach students in a way in which they will understand and retain the information. Each student learns differently and I am willing to implement the teaching method that would be most effective for each student. As a tutor, I would encourage the student and build confidence as they learn. This gives the student a sense of accomplishment and promotes academic success.

A Little Bit About Me...

Visual explanation and simple repetition are the most successful tools to help a child learn. I am patient and calm with students but not afraid of discipline. Before college I was a summer camp counselor for three years and part-time babysitter; jobs that taught me how to work with children. I hope to improve a child's life through improving education.
In the past year I have graduated with a double major and passed the Society of Actuaries' Probability exam. My experience in finding effective study techniques and quickly understanding new material allows me to explain subjects to others as directly as possible. I am determined to make the most of each hour of every day.
