I am also fluent in Spanish having spent two years in Spain where I talked with peoples of various Spanish-speaking countries emphasizing the Castillian accent....

...the U.S. I currently attend Brigham Young University and am loving it. I enjoy the one-on-one interaction I get with people when I tutor. Watching people really understand and be excited about learning is what makes it worthwhile for me. The key is to spark the fun and excitement of learning within the student. I have tutored primarily middle and high school students but am comfortable with any age. I tutor many subjects, but am...

...goal is to work together to pick up the pieces that were lost or are close, but not quite there: learning the way you want to learn and the way you learn best rather than having topics taught at you. For standardized testing: I have taken the special classes and labored through the workbooks to prepare for taking the exams myself. The trick is to learn the test and know how to beat it with...

...my degree I am planning on pursuing a master's degree in Aerospace Engineering. Since January 2014 I have worked in the physics help lab at BYU. Throughout this time I have greatly enjoyed helping many students increase their understanding of physics. I love seeing my students have a "light-bulb" moment where suddenly everything we discussed makes sense to them. I think it is extremely important for everyone to have (at least) a basic understanding of...

...without a lot of explanation. In most things, I'm not that guy! Like many students, understanding comes with repetition of principles and hard work. I have the perspective of a student trying to understand, not a teacher trying to preach. I love working with people from the ground up; we start at the comfort zone and work our way to improvement. I know I don't know everything, so I'm excited to learn as well!... Start where...

...concepts more firmly, and by the end feel confident implementing the concepts on their own. Although my experience is in math, I have a Bachelor's of Science in Neuroscience from Brigham Young University. I am currently applying to medical school and hope to become a physician some day. I love explaining science concepts including biology, chemistry, and psychology. I believe that tutoring is a guide to gaining understanding and complete comprehension of a subject, rather...

...an English writing tutor for all varieties of subjects, from accounting essays to ESOL student practice.

...gain confidence in the learning process. My teaching style is both personal and goal-oriented. In the first time meeting a student I like to briefly introduce myself. I like to hear a little about the student as well. I then take time to hear the student's attitude towards their class, their own perceived strengths and weaknesses with that subject, and what they hope to achieve by working with me. The student and I then develop...

...is why I strive to teach my students by the principal I learned from Alfred Mercier "What we learn with pleasure we never forget". I learned this first hand as I lived in South America for two years. It was a lot easier to learn Spanish when I could find ways to make it enjoyable! Spanish is my favorite subject to teach because it is such a valuable tool to have in this day and...

My name is Ben. I struggled as middle school student mostly because I had a hard time focusing. I became an educator to help kids like me learn about the amazing world we live in. I have taught middle school geology and literacy. I have a background in chemistry, physics, political science and math up to calculus 1.... The world is a fascinating place, and it enriches our lives to learn more interesting things every day....

...there for the past semester before deciding to do it as a job. I tutor Introductory Business and Economics classes as well as SAT/ACT prep. I especially enjoy tutoring Economics because I enjoy the subject and a lot of times students just need to think about things a new way to understand it easily. My teaching philosophy is that the biggest key to learning is just getting in the right mindset. Being willing and excited...

...minor in mathematics. Part of my success in college came from the preparation I had from taking AP Calculus and Physics courses in high school. I'm a huge fan of visual aids and examining real-life examples and applications when teaching. I worked as a learning assistant in an astronomy lab course and as a tutor for student athletes in geology while attending CU. I've been honing the ability to craft perfect analogies to help you...

...impacting children's lives in positive ways each day. I strive to ensure that each interaction I have with a student results in a love for life-long learning. I inspire each student to do their best so they can achieve their goals. I encourage increased responsibility so that they will become leaders in the community. I teach each student to be respectful of everyone and everything in order to create a safe learning environment. While I...

...Spanish one step at a time. I had to learn one step at a time and that is my tutoring philosophy. I know that a new language can not be learned overnight. Just like Math or Science it is a learning process that takes time and patience. I work with student to improve, grammar, vocabulary, comprehension, conversation, and whatever they stand in need of. I know how it is to struggle at learning a subject,...

...identify bias, see cause and effect, think critically, and learn empathy. Writing helps us synthesize our thoughts into coherent arguments and can even help us understand things more clearly. Math teaches critical thinking, but also persistence and creativity. What is most important to me, however, is that students feel confident enough to keep trying until they succeed. Teaching 7th grade math opened my eyes to the lack of confidence students often suffer from, and I...

...feel arbitrary, many classes pretend that composition is detached from purpose or audience, and written work can feel like jumping through hoops. As a result, our current approach to composition often teaches students the rules while also teaching them to hate writing. I believe a better path is possible. My focus is teaching students to master the technical aspect of writing (especially for academic assignments), learn to love the process of composition, and understand how...

...helping the student solve their homework problems, I am also figuring out the reason the student doesn't understand the material in the first place. I also have always enjoyed the perspective I get from teaching. It gives me a better overall understanding of the subject, so I am even more prepared for future lessons and future jobs. I currently am available during the day and in the evenings as we head into the end of...
