...to interpret and describe ideas that intrigue me in creative ways using sound. That said, I still have a secret crush on math and science, and I love exploring and analyzing languages and the written word. (In fact, much of the music I have written has been inspired by literary or linguistic concepts.) I have taught courses in music theory, history, and composition at the University of Washington, and I have tutored students of all...

...talking. There's no better way of ensuring that a student understands the material than getting them to put it in their own words! Beyond my passion for learning and teaching I'm a huge sports fan who rarely misses an Ohio State football or basketball game. I also grew up a die-hard Cincinnati Reds fan, and I love engaging in discourse about every and any sport. I also play the saxophone and guitar, which I often...

...can be prepared. Careful, concept-oriented preparation can help ensure that students don't run into anything radically new on exam day. My preparation strategy aims to give students the instruction they need to recognize as many problem types as possible. Sitting for a standardized test can be a stressful experience for many people. I try to give students a firm toolkit of techniques and tactics so that they do not have to improvise in that kind...

...class I have ever taken in which the class spontaneously started clapping and cheering for our professor on the last day. One of the reasons I think the term was so successful is that the teacher allowed us plenty of interaction and discussion time. She taught me how important it is to allow students to discuss the topic because this verbal processing can lead to greater insights/revelations about the material. I have also been lucky...

...understand that learning a new language can be very challenging. As a Chinese teacher, I believe that my job is to help you to pick up the language in a conversational context. Then, I help you to remember those expressions and words by doing all kinds of fun memory activities. I am a very easygoing person, and I believe all my students agreed with that. I like biking, hiking, and listening to music during my...

My favorite subject to tutor is Chemistry, followed closely by Physics. I feel that anyone can learn anything as long as it is explained in a way that is conducive to them, and I aim to achieve that in my teaching. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy ultimate frisbee, television, reading, and...

...SDET (engineeer) working at Samsung's R&D center in Bellevue, WA. I received a competitive, full ride(tuition, room, and board) to Emory University where I studied Physics and Applied Mathematics.

I believe in a problem based approach rather than a lecture...

...informally, but during my senior year, I tutored another student formally in their chemistry class. Becoming a tutor for the first time made me realize how much I valued and enjoyed teaching. The opportunity to help another student with their own learning journey was a very positive experience, and it ignited an interest in tutoring again. At the moment, I am most prepared to tutor for ACT and SAT preparation in all subject areas. My...

...towards a BS in Economics with concentrations in Business Analytics and Management. During my fall semester I was one of 14 students from the freshman class nominated to be a peer tutor in the Writing Center. I am taking a course on tutoring and it has given me deeper insights into different types of communication with students and how to personalize the experience for each person that I work with. I especially enjoying tutoring disciplines...

...students preparing to take the SATs, ACTs, or GREs - I feel your pain! Together we can work through the daunting process of analyzing your areas of strength and opportunities for growth and put you on the path towards the score you want. When I am not tutoring, I hope to be exploring the great outdoors and getting to know the Pacific Northwest. I have spent the five years since I graduated from the University...

...in educational settings with youth. I spent five summers at a summer camp devoted to social and environmental justice, working with all age groups and doing everything from managing a day program to leading extended backpacking trips. I spent a year working as a wilderness therapy field guide, helping students achieve a breakthrough in their personal lives in a backpacking setting in central Oregon. And I was an instructor at an outdoor school in southern...

...teaching style while simultaneously, through the stories of my students, demonstrating to me the paramount importance of education in today's society. I am a very flexible and amiable teacher who enjoys exchanging ideas with students. That said, my two years of both in-classroom and tutoring experience have shown to me the importance of having lesson plans of clear, consistent material. My favorite subjects to teach are ESL and Writing, but I am also capable of...

...hold a Master of Science with a focus in environmental studies. I am a former science teacher in New Hampshire where I taught ages 12-18 in a variety of sciences. I tutor many science topics, some math topics, nutrition, and health. My teaching and tutoring style is to get to know the student and understand where the student is struggling, then be able to identify the student's preferred learning style and expound on that. I...

...students on a one on one basis. Being able to develop relationships and see students succeed has been one of the most gratifying aspects of working as a tutor. I am currently a student in a Masters of Public Health program. I will be starting medical school next year and am excited to be taking these next steps in my education.

...fulfilling the degree requirements, I found that I had been mistaken, and I was in fact capable of achieving a level of academic success which I had never believed possible. I have since graduated from Skagit Valley College with an AA in Music and an AA in art, and from the University of Washington with a BS in Electrical Engineering. While tutoring at Skagit Valley College, I received an award for excellence in tutoring in...

Math has always been my favorite topic in school. Over the last 5 years, I have enjoyed applying my quantitative reasoning skills towards an exciting career in electrical engineering. I look forward to helping others overcome their academic challenges and inspiring others to have a passion for mathematics.

...One student wrote, "I'm so glad I had him as my Section Leader. He was super enthusiastic about the topic, so that generated more enthusiasm among us (the students). He was really helpful when we asked him questions during lab or during office hours. Also, David brought other applications of the topic (and some tangential subjects) we were learning about during the section, so it's good to see that he had more outside knowledge of...
