...algebra. I think based on the amount I have tutored and my overall experience, my favorite subject to tutor is math because there is always one, and only one, right answer. Through effective communication and patience, the student is not only able to learn the mathematical process, but also the ability to think analytically. I would say that my tutoring philosophy is based on encouragement and always validating the opinions of the student before steering...

...over three years of teaching experience at private tutoring companies, UC Berkeley, UC Berkeley's Summer Bridge Program, and as a freelance political science/calculus tutor (there's more overlap than you think). In 2014, my paper "Set Theory and Fuzzy Sets: Their Relationship to Natural Language" was published in the Newsletter of the American Political Science Association Organized Section for Qualitative and Multi-Method Research.

...teaching experiences. After graduating magna cum laude from Georgetown University, I studied and worked on sustainable development issues in Washington, D.C. for several years. I am now pursuing a career in education. I have worked with students in a range of settings-- as a K-12 substitute teacher, an after-school program instructor, and a graduate teaching assistant in geography and economics. My time spent at the head of the classroom has granted me a great deal...

My favorite word is "why." And why is that, you may ask? Well, I am subject to a never-ending flow of knowledge because I perpetually wonder why. The search for answers to any question beginning with "why" has taught me everything I know -- and put me in a position to disseminate my knowledge to other people. Tutoring is the best possible way for me to do that.

...language, beginning through advanced; grammar, conjugations, pronunciation, conversation, culture. I completed my M.A. at Yale University (African Studies, 2014), and my B.A. magna cum laude from Smith College (American Studies & Dance, 2009). During college, I studied in Paris, France for a full year, and successfully applied for a Fulbright Grant that allowed me to do ten months of research on contemporary dance in Burkina Faso (in francophone West Africa) after graduating. My teaching experience...

...and social sciences. Knowing many teachers and professors, I also firmly believe that students fall into the cracks of education frequently because of ill-prepared teachers, an overworked system that demands too much time from them without adequate pay and respect, and because most graduate schools of education do not adequately train teachers with evidence-based scholarship and give them the tools they need to succeed. I firmly believe that I and 大象传媒 can fill this...

I also work with everyone from ESL students to students with multiple languages to elementary-aged students just learning to read and write for the first time. And although it may sound silly, I get really excited about reading, writing, researching, and editing, and even more so, I look forward to working with students! I'm available to help, instruct, and work...

...I received my ESL Instructor Certifications and taught English to both urban and rural high school students across the country. I tutor a vast array of subjects from Algebra to Spanish, but my favorites are English, History, and organizational skills. In my observations, I have always found that giving students proper organizing skills as their foundation for success allows them to reach their full academic potential. I enjoy nothing more than witnessing the students I...

...non-profit academic support and enrichment programs. Over the years I've taught just about every subject. I love helping students develop a positive, can-do attitude in relation to subjects that used to make them feel anxious and confused. (In my experience this is often math or standardized tests, but I also love to tutor writing and general study skills.) In my spare time I enjoy playing soccer, video games, and always learning something new!

...am comfortable working with a variety of students and their learning styles. In a one-on-one setting I can support the student鈥檚 current English curriculum-with reading comprehension (how to engage with a text critically and analytically), organization, grammar and the writing process. Starting with brainstorming ideas, to actually writing words on paper, to the structure of their ideas and how to edit, I instruct students through the writing process without being their editor (the person who...

I love teaching pretty much anything! I began tutoring English, math and science as a freshman in college, then added dance and aerial acrobatics to my repertoire. Now, I specialize in all things English, writing, reading, French and anatomy.

...local communitys education system. I have tutored all subjects, but I am most passionate about Math, Social Studies, Spanish, and SAT/College Prep. My favorite part about tutoring is being able to get creative about my lessons so that I can captivate and empower every student in their learning and help them achieve success. I love spending that extra time to rethink and reframe material in a new and exciting way so that I can meet...

Hi! My name is Ben Hopwood and I recently graduated from Pacific University with a Bachelors in Journalism. I am so excited to work as a tutor and cannot wait to help guide young minds along their paths to success.

...learning philosophy is that I will have mastered a material if I can teach another person these concepts and come up with my own examples to illustrate my understanding. I will infuse this goal within my tutoring sessions, engaging tutees to really learn and challenge them to think critically. Another important aspect of my tutoring goals is to help the tutee. Be clear and transparent with me about your goals and struggles, and I will...

...in writing-intensive courses. Currently, I work as a freelance writer and editor and have edited application essays for numerous graduate school applicants, several of whom were accepted to their top choice programs.
