My approach to teaching and tutoring centers around my background as a liberal arts student turned pre-med. I attended Wesleyan University and then decided after college to pursue medicine, completing a one year post-baccalaureate premedical program at Bryn Mawr College. Having personally undergone the transition from a humanities to a science student, I feel passionately that the sciences can be learned by any student, even those for whom it might feel a little more challenging. Working as a tutor for biology, organic chemistry, general chemistry, and neuroscience, I actively implemented this philosophy, finding creative ways to approach complex concepts. For example, I might steer a writing student studying organic chemistry to explain a reaction as a narrative of molecular interactions, rather than beginning with a complex problem.In the context of shifting careers, I have also taken a number of standardized tests, including the SAT, ACT, GRE, and MCAT. My approach with these tests emphasizes strategy over content; a particular vocabulary word may or may not appear on the actual test, but knowledge of how to approach a passage and its correlated questions will help regardless of content.

I love to help and teach people. I have recently been teaching newly hired air traffic control students for over a year in a virtual environment. Before that, I taught in the classroom for three years. My main career was in air traffic control. That lasted about 28 years, during which I trained all ages of people. I have an associate's degree in liberal arts from Johnson County CC. I tutor air traffic control subjects along with math. I am very patient with the people I teach and will work very hard to help you understand what you want to learn.

I am a hardworking individual who loves to be challenged. I am extremely determined and have earned degrees in Accounting, Finance, and Law. Since a child, I have always had a love for reading which continues to this day. In my down time I enjoy traveling, fashion, and food.

Speech language pathology has been my life's work. It is a personal and professional passion to see others reach their maximum potential.

Hi there, my name is John, and I am a Science, Math, and Japanese tutor living in Massachusetts.A little bit about me: I have a bachelor's and Master's in Chemistry from Northeastern University. I have been tutoring students since 2005, but regularly since 2009.I have tutored college students in General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry and Japanese since 2009. I have worked with high school students since 2010 with many math courses and topics.Additionally, I have successfully tutored and prepared student for the SAT, ACT, GRE and MCAT. I have a proven track history of higher scores on practice tests and topic mastery. I don't just tutor the subject, I show your student how to maximize time, spot traps and find the right answer quickly.I look forward to work with your student/s to help them achieve any and all educational/professional goals.

I will be attending the University of Florida pursuing a degree in finance. I have been tutoring students for four years now. I have tutored 6-12th graders in subject in various math subjects, however, I am most passionate about statistics. I like to teach my students by encouraging my students to go above and beyond their work. I also encourage my students to discover the opportunities they can gain by becoming more knowledgeable in math. In my spare time, I enjoy being on the boat and playing basketball.

Teaching is my fourth career. I've learned my way through the first three by watching others and choosing how to adapt and apply their techniques to the specific purpose of my projects.In high school I was a STEM student before the term existed, but I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Vassar College with a major in Drama and a double minor in English and Art.Starting out on my career path in New York City, I took and taught theater crafts and began to develop prototype design skills while working in live theater, opera, dance, and television/video, and after contributing to Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, and The Muppet Movie, relocated to London through the Jim Henson companies to work on feature films such as Dark Crystal, Dreamchild, Labyrinth, and Little Shop of Horrors.After a time, being at the intersection of a script and its visualization excited me the most and led me to emulate my colleagues who were into concept creation by beginning to research and write story treatments for Labyrinth.Returning to the States to raise a family, I applied what I'd learned about production to the corporate world. My experience and imagination yoked to a client's vision and purpose allowed me to take on a variety of roles: creative director, writer, producer, graphic designer, and occasional project management.As in the past, I often worked in the trenches, this time learning the software that supported and enhanced our efforts. But overall, my focus was to communicate, through language and visual representation, how a project could be realized. I knew that the plan might grow and change as it progressed, so had to be mindful that collaboration, communication, and flexibility were key to adapting to change as we moved toward the client's goal.Although I returned to college and earned a Master's in English and a Certificate in Creative Writing, my progress in the real world still relies on both words and pictures. The more we engage our senses, the deeper will be our ability to convey our intentions to those with whom we live, work, and play.Therefore, I wish to find out how you learn best so that together we may craft a plan for your progress, whatever your goal. Please share your expectations and concerns. Your goal may seem hazy at the start, but as learning is about observing, trying, and sometimes failing, your vision will come into focus. We can course correct as we move forward together to ensure a resolution, even if the destination changes somewhat. That's life, isn't it?

As a teacher, I have seen students first hand struggling to learn in a congested classroom setting. Even one in which there are a significantly reduced number of students in the room. This goes for both general education and special education students. I have also seen them flourish after being given extra one on one attention and time to learn concepts that he or she is struggling with. That is why I wanted to become a tutor in my spare time. I spend every day as an educator and not always able to give the extra attention to the students that require it the most. When tutoring, I am able to spend as much time as necessary on a concept, and use different methods to convey that concept to my students.

I am currently an upper elementary teacher through Teach For America, and I've passed all of my elementary certification exams, while working on finishing my teacher license this academic year from calumet college, St. Joseph. My undergraduate degree is in Economics from the University of Chicago, and I did a lot of statistics, too!I like having kids how to read, write, and do math. Because I loved doing those in school, and I'll be teaching that this up coming school year. To have a struggling reader all of a sudden love reading and attack hard words never before tried is the best feeling in the world.I believe education should be fun, loving, inviting, challenging, and organized.
