...both enlightening and exciting. It truly generates appreciation for learning and the greater world community. My experience has taught me that, when it comes to education, learning isn't always confined to a classroom setting. I don't believe that superior performance on standardized tests is the most crucial part of one's educational experience, but high scores have become increasingly important across almost all grade levels. I have been fortunate enough throughout my academic career to have...

...in the Medical Sciences program at the University of North Texas Health Science Center's Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. While I await decisions from medical schools, my time consists of working out, running outside, eating mac & cheese, and now tutoring those who were once in my shoes.

...working with student-athletes. Now I'm employed as an engineer in Fort Worth and I'd love to teach again as well!

...subject that deals with the basic middle school curriculum is fine for me to tackle, thanks to my experience working as a middle school AVID tutor. Even if, for some reason, I am somewhat rusty or unfamiliar with a particular subject, I can use the AVID method to draw upon what the student already knows, ask pertinent and engaging questions, keep the student focused and on task, and guide the student to reach the conclusion...

...to focus on and why, and how to teach students using teaching styles other than lecturing. After all, thanks to my experience teaching with the public school system, I know that one size doesn't, in fact, fit all. For students to learn at their best, a teacher must be flexible and ready to adapt to their needs. Whether it be teaching a language or teaching a mathematical concept, learning should flow in a natural, logical...

I am able to determine what obstacles are preventing a student from grasping a concept, and create different means of overcoming those obstacles. Creating a partnership with the student and understanding what he or she needs to overcome is what makes me a great tutor. ... I would talk with the student and/or his or her parents to learn what each hopes to achieve from the tutoring sessions. I would ask what they've tried, what they...

...taught kids at all grade levels and ability levels, I can teach you the same concept several different ways and let you choose the way that you makes sense to you. I firmly believe in understanding conceptually before learning mathematically. Having a conceptual understanding helps you understand the process needed to learn mathematically. STAAR isn't about the right answer anymore; it's about the process you use to get the answer. If you can understand the...

I am a retired educator with almost 30 years of experience in the classroom and library. A large part of my classroom instruction involved tutoring in all core subject areas in grades K-5.

My teaching philosophy involves listening to the student and assessing weaknesses and strengths. I use scaffolding to build...

...general chemistry, general biology, organic chemistry, introductory physics, economics and for the MCAT exam. I excelled in undergraduate coursework pertaining to these subjects and have prior experience in assisting pre-professional (pre-medical and pre-nursing) students looking to succeed in their required general science classes. My tutoring methodology is dependent on the establishment of a strong conceptual framework, and subsequent application of theory through practice problems (the best way to master any pure science). I frequently employ...

...a teaching assistant for a Statistics class for 5 semesters at UTD. At LSU, I tutored student athletes for 15 months in various subjects. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Math. In my experience helping students (elementary-college), Math always seems to be a subject where students have a mental block. It is always a pleasure to get through that block and break (seemingly) complex problems into their parts...

...working as an Educational Diagnostician for the second year. I tutor elementary math, reading and writing, special education, study skills, and organization skills. My favorite subject to tutor is reading because the ability to read allows individuals to learn and have many new experiences through stories they read.
