I love playing chess and teaching chess. I love everything about it. It's a mental battle of strategy and for me, it's way, way more than just a board game. I have been playing Chess since 2007 and I have learned from the best coaches in India. My peak rating is 1759 FIDE / 1892 USCF. I'm working on getting breaking walls in both formats and at the same time help others achieve their Chess goals as well. We all have been in a situation when we know we are winning a game but we somehow mess it up. If you join me it won't happen again. I will teach you how to Win A Won game.

I love empowering students to see their own limitless potential, and to help them build a working knowledge of a subject beyond rote memorization. I have tutored students all throughout high school and college, mostly in subjects related to math or physics. I received two undergraduate degrees in math and physics from the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), and am halfway through my master's degree in mathematics, also from UTD. I tutor almost any subject from high school and college math and physics, and also select courses in reading, writing, and English. I also may provide help in preparing for standardized testing. My favorite subjects to teach are undoubtedly math and physics, as I love building a beautiful framework from the ground up with a student, and watching all the pieces fall into place as their understanding solidifies. This is reflected in my teaching philosophy, in which I will try to find some base of knowledge a student already understands well, and build up from there to the desired result: I feel this gives the student a deeper understanding of a subject, so they may easily generalize their knowledge to future endeavors. Outside of academia, I love playing all types of games and a few musical instruments, as well as hanging out with my friends and family.

Benjamin Franklin once said, ???Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.??? This quote sums up my teaching philosophy. Students need to be involved and allowed the time to struggle and learn. I can provide support, motivation and patience to the student, and not only an answer. I believe this is more important as it gives them confidence and study techniques instead of just the answer to the specific problem at hand.

It can make the difference between getting a scholarship, an internship, and even a job.

I am a sophomore at the University of Texas at Dallas. I am majoring in Neuroscience with a minor in Art, in the hopes of going to medical school one day. I have had extensive experience tutoring students, ever since I was a high school student myself, in art, PSAT, math, and science. I am most passionate about teaching math and science, as the critical thinking skills developed from these subjects can be applied to multiple aspects of our lives. I always found myself being able to connect with students more via these subjects, as their puzzle-like nature seemed to appeal to students the most, especially once we discovered the teaching style that suited them. I witnessed that a tailored and unique teaching style shows remarkable improvements, both in the subject matter, as well as the students' general reception of academia. I strongly believe in the importance of education and its role as a critical tool, which enables individuals to improve the quality of their lives and develop lasting connections. In my free time, I like spending time with my family, doing art, running, and reading.

Every subject is like its own language, and every teacher is like the translator, who, not only makes untrodden land seem familiar but also equips the student with the tools and confidence to foster discovery on his or her own. All learning happens within the context of a relationship: this is my teaching philosophy.

Along with a B.S. in Biochemistry from the University of Texas at Dallas, I bring more than two years of experience with one of the best tutoring companies in the DFW teaching subjects ranging from the upper-level sciences to upper-level maths as well as SAT, ACT, AP, and everything in between.

I graduated from University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. I have always enjoyed math, science (mostly physics), and logic puzzles. To me, math a type of logic puzzle. I like seeing the patterns in math and using these patterns to work towards the solution. I like knowing that there is an answer to every problem and that there are multiple ways to get the same correct answer. I am passionate about helping students because I enjoy the learning process. I feel quite good after helping a student expand their understanding. I like to see when they transition from not knowing what to do, to confidently solving the problem correctly on their own.I have worked with a variety of different students. I have worked with sixth graders struggling with fractions, helped someone understand the concept of negative numbers, high school students with pre-calculus and helped someone with college algebra. I have helped these students to understand the math they were working on. I gained valuable experience in explaining the concepts in different ways and using real examples to better demonstrate how the concept works.I tutor middle school math, high school math, calculus 1 and 2, and physics and some lower level mechanical engineering. More specifically, my math subjects include: Algebra 1 & 2, AP Calculus AB & BC, AP Statistics, Calculus 1 & 2, Geometry, GRE Quantitative, Pre-Algebra, Pre-Calculus, and SAT Math. Of all of these subjects, my favorite to tutor is Geometry. Tutoring Geometry is my favorite because of all the visual and logical thinking needed in order to solve the problem.My teaching philosophy and tutoring style revolve around making sure the student understands the concept. I like teaching the thought process so that students are able to succeed without memorizing too many things. I also think that schools typically make a stressful environment, which can inhibit learning. I am a laid-back person and keep the tutoring sessions as low stress as possible.As you may have guessed, I am somewhat of a typical nerd. My nerdiness is not only shown in my love for logic and math, but also in my free time where I enjoy playing strategy board games with my friends and family. I also enjoy playing computer games, including primarily: Rocket League, Hearthstone, and League of Legends.

I am a graduate of The University of Texas where I received my PhD in the Humanities with a focus on History and Literature. In addition to my extensive experience in the classroom, I have also raised a child with learning differences so I am keenly aware that everyone learns at their own speed and in their own way. There are no quick fixes and the student must be a party to their own success. I firmly believe that with organization, a good work ethic, and the proper learning environment, all students can do well in school. However, the most important ingredient is self-confidence, which is only achieved through accomplishing target goals. In the classroom, I concentrate on the individual needs of each of my students by helping them with organizational skills, reading, research techniques, and especially writing. This approach enables each student to not only develop their own style, but provides them with learning tools which can be applied to other areas of study.

I am currently pursuing a degree in Child Development with a minor in Speech Language Pathology from the University of Texas at Dallas. My experience working with children began at an early age but the abundance of my experience comes from being a Transitional Kindergarten teacher at a private preschool. The main focus of my classroom is providing foundational learning that is in accordance with the Texas Kindergarten curriculum for those students who are not yet able to enter Kindergarten due to mandated age requirements. Along with abundant experience with all preschool years, I have assisted children in many elementary grade levels. My strongest subjects to tutor are English, reading, phonics and elementary math. In my experience, prepping students in reading and phonics is the most enjoyable for me because of the range of techniques that can be used to teach them. As an educator, as much as I stress the importance of fun and playful learning, I am a strong proponent of structured learning as well. Molding young children's minds means providing a strong path but at the same time letting them tread that path in the matter that is most suitable to them.

Throughout my three years in college as well as my senior year in high school, I've had experience tutoring students in various subjects such as trigonometry-based physics, calculus-based physics, as well as AP calculus. Calculus-based Physics is my passion when it comes to tutoring, since I've developed quite a bit of experience with it so I have been able to practice different ways with working with students on this subject. I base my tutoring methods on the idea that the student's ability to derive,understand ,explain a concept is the ultimate goal.

All it takes is a nicely worded analogy to any video game and boom! You now understand Organic Chemistry. You may think it's not that simple, but understanding complex topics doesn't require a PhD. Being able to put the knowledge in your own terms and make any material sound familiar makes mastery just around the door. Teaching the material well is important to me, but what's more important is getting to know who is learning the material and adjusting it to their liking.Besides my values, I am a pre-Medical, Data Science major at UT Dallas.

I am a student of both the Humanities and Natural Sciences. My B.A. is in Historical Studies and my focus was in the history of science, and medicine. As an undergraduate I received grant funding for my ongoing project, 'Historical Perspectives on Alternative Health.' I am pursuing a MA in History while finishing up prerequisites for a graduate degree related to pathology. In addition to historical studies related to science and medicine I am associated with the Center for Values in Medicine, Science,and Technology at UTD. This has provided me with exposure to ethical components of the sciences that do not receive enough discussion or attention.If I had to select an area of inquiry that is the most exciting it would be where the Humanities and Natural Sciences merge. I am thrilled to be constantly adding interdisciplinary approaches to my toolkit whether the discipline is history, literature, ethics, biology, pathology, technology, archaeology, or anthropology.The last two semesters I have functioned in the role of a Teaching Assistant for an introduction course to pathophysiology at the University of Texas at Dallas. Through volunteer service with places such as the Richardson Boy's and Girl's club I have had exposure to homework assistance for many different age ranges. Depending on the subject there are several approaches to teaching, or tutoring, that I think are appropriate. Since each student is different it is important to find the best ways in which he/she can recall, understand, and relate various subject materials. Ultimately though, whether a student is an auditory, visual, kinetic, spacial, etc.. learner, I find the best approach is to help students learn how to identify a range of ways to ask questions regarding any problem, source, or material at hand and then proceed to find the solutions to those questions.I am extremely interested in narratives. My hobbies are related to ways in which people tell and experience stories. This is usually in the form of books, movies, television shows, comic books, story telling, music, and video games. I have recently added radio dramas to this list of narratives I enjoy. Each medium for telling and experiencing stories offer its own unique way for the 'listener' to interact with the story either passively or quite actively in the case of comics and video/computer games.
