...PhD student at ASU. I'm happy to work with students of all ages and am a strong believer in determining whether a student is either a visual, auditory, or kinesthetic ('hands-on') learner before structuring my lesson plans. Figuring out which category of learning style a person is leads to more efficient tutoring sessions and new study techniques that the student will be able to use long after our sessions are over. In addition to teaching...

...traditional approach doesn't work for everyone, each person is different and I personalize my instruction to match the learning style of each student...allowing each student to experience success and confidence in the subject.

...tutor their children, so I contacted Varsity tutors to extend my reach to people who did not know me personally. My style is energetic and engaging. As a trial attorney, I routinely have to communicate complex matters to a jury that has no experience in the fields of chemistry, biology and physics. This forces me to adopt an engaging style to ensure they do not tune me out. I have three very bright children of...

...full semesters. I have a passion for helping students find their words and spread their message to the world. My favorite part of tutoring is helping others express themselves, and my methods get results. I have had many students come back to me again and again to help them with assignments due to the positive feedback they have received on assignments I've helped them with. I also have firsthand experience as a test-taker, having taken...

...is usually only given to graduate students, and with it I help professors teach the undergraduate general chemistry curriculum by facilitating the lab portion of it. An important methodology of my work with students is that I ask a lot of questions of the student I'm working with.

...people in their everyday lives. That concept is what drives me when I tutor. Formulas and equations have their use and value, but the critical thinking that can be gained from the study of math is much more important. I have had success in showing students from where the formulas come and encouraging a deeper understanding of the topic at hand. I believe education in STEM related fields is vital in our society with the...

...especially for the student. When I tutor students they are the driving force. How I approach them depends on their understanding and participation. I ask many questions to guide them along until they learn the process of solving the problems. Students must be able to relate one kind of problem to the next. What are the similarities and what are the differences? What strategies can be used? There are often multiple strategies, what is the...

Therefore, I provide not only the details in a subject, but also a bigger picture motif that enables the student to make real-life connections with what they are learning and gives them enough understanding to be able to "teach" the topic. As someone who recently graduated Arizona State University with a B.S. in Microbiology, I understand the hardships that many students must face in...
