My interest in becoming a tutor stems from my life long passion for teaching and learning. Throughout the past eight years, I have focused my efforts on soaking up my education and research experiences across many subdivisions in the field of Psychology. My education ranges from expertise in Social Psychology to Cognitive Neuroscience, however is not limited to these domains. While working toward my graduate degree I was involved in analyzing vast amounts of data, writing scientific manuscripts, and general laboratory management. In addition to this, I also taught a weekly seminar for undergraduates that worked in my laboratory and tutored them throughout the week in how to learn and implement various research techniques. Thus, throughout my education and research experience I have developed superior skills in mathematics, writing, and communication that are critical to being an excellen

I come from a family of seven children, four of them younger than me, and three of them adopted from the Philippines. Growing up in this setting has allowed me to become patient, tolerant, understanding, and loving. I believe that each child is different and capable of great things if acknowledged in an enthusiastic and attentive manner. I believe in asking children guiding questions to lead them through difficult material without directly presenting an answer or lecturing. I believe in using my own creativity to come up with new methods of learning so that children respond to subjects they may not otherwise enjoy. I plan on making a career out of teaching as it is my passion and I yearn to make a difference in the learning experiences of young children. I recently graduated from the University of Colorado with a bachelor's degree in architecture which allowed me to be very understa

I am a enthusiastic 21 year old in a 51 year old body. I am able to reach students of all ages and to find out what they require to learn. I am well rounded in most subjects, I play several instuments and sing. I am an excellent mechanic, plumber, household electrician, and carpenter. I am warm hearted and fun loving and I enjoy working and being energized by the youthful spirit. I have been teaching music for over 30 years but found out 5 years ago I have a great deal to offer as an academic tutor. My first belief is that you have to make a student believe in themselve. You do this by letting them know that the system has failed them, but together we can bridge the gap of what you need now to get your grades caught up and work backwards to learn what you have missed.

I am a current high school teacher who loves her job! I earned my Bachelor's Degree at Iowa State University in Secondary English Education, and then a School Counseling Master's Degree at UNLV. I have a strong passion for learning and love to share that passion with kids. My strengths in education are grammar, spelling, literature, and reading strategies. Also, due to my counseling background, I'm a great listener and like for kids to feel like I'm someone they can rely on and trust. I love working with kids and watching them learn and grow. It amazes me every year to see students who don't believe in themselves grow into kids who see their full potential. The light in their eyes is priceless. My approach to teaching is along the lines of the "Love and Logic" program. I believe that when children are offered choices, they feel more empowered to make decisions that are best for their fut

I thoroughly enjoy working with the elderly population and children as well. If given the opportunity, I would prefer to work with older clientel. I am a very patient, and reserved person when it comes to teaching others new skills. I have realized that not every individual will learn at the same pace or have the success rate as others. It is important to take each person on a individual basis, and if we work together we will meet the goals that are wanted by both of us. I graduated from the University of Nevada Las Vegas in 2007 with a BA in communication studies. The curriculum at UNLV has given me a solid foundation in both my written and verbal communication skills. I also completed the gerontology program as well in 2007. I have been involved with senior theater programs, and I am currently mentoring for a non-profit organization. The program is for senior men who are 55 years of ag

As a teacher, I like to inspire the student to be the best that they can be! My skills include motivational hands on exercises and fun approaches to learning all subjects. I love to watch my students grow both in knowledge, and in individuality. From the moment I entered high school, I had a thirst for knowledge. Even though I was already attending the top private school in Atlanta, I wanted to ensure the maximum level of achievement. Therefore, I applied to the top boarding school in the country, Phillips Exeter Academy, and was granted admission! After high school, I attended the independant ivy, Wesleyan University, where my learning continued, not only in the classroom, but also outside of the classroom. I became a mentor and a tutor during my junior year. I am pleased to say that I am still on the journey of achieving a stellar eduaction, but more importantly, I am utilizing and enj

I started tutoring in NYC when I was a junior in high school. I tutored a sixth grader and an eighth grader, and helped them with all of their homework. In addition, I created my own problem sets for them to furthur practice their skills. Currently, I tutor student athletes at UNLV. I tutor a wide range of subjects such as psychology, computers, math, and biology. I have excellent writing skills due to the many research papers that I have had to write throughout my college career. I believe that since English was not my first language, I am particularly able to attune to the grammatical rules that I learned in school. I am also fluent in Spanish. My teaching style is somewhat relaxed so that I can encourage my students to open up. When I first begin tutoring someone I let them do things their way rather than tell them how to do something. Then, I tell them that if their method i

I have an ability to communicate the complex theories in everyday language that makes me a very effective tutor. It is great when someone starts to understand the theory of their subject and then continue to more complicated things. The key to tutoring is to understand the frustration and embarrassment someone feels when they do not understand something and overcome this with a friendly, straight-forward approach. I started tutoring thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and statics in college. My BS in mechanical engineering has required me to get a firm understanding of calculus and physics - two traditionally very difficult subjects.

I believe as a tutor one should be open-minded and able to relate to their students. I possess this quality. I have a history of making and maintaining a strong connection with my students. I believe that if I show interest in their life as well as their studies they become more comfortable with me, therefore creating better communication and respect. I am a full-time college student. My strengths are math and science. During my first year of college, I took five math classes and received an "A" in all of them. Based on my ACT scores, I began college in Calculus I. Upon enrollment at UNLV, my goal was to become a forensic pathologist, but my interests have steered towards business. I am now pursuing a triple major in Marketing, International Business, and Secondary Education along with minors in Accounting, Finance, and International Language.
