Nathan
Language Arts Wizard
For nine months, I worked as a tutor at the MTSU Writing Center. My goal as a tutor is to help learners succeed by useful strategies for reading and writing. I believe that revising and editing skills are vital to the writer. It is rare that a first draft of any piece of writing will ever be "complete," and as a tutor, I enjoy offering feedback on what the writer can do to improve their piece of writing. Besides my experience as a tutor, I have had teaching certification in English (grades 7... Read more

Tammy
Experienced Tutor Specializing in Math for All Ages
I'm a Mechanical Engineer with five years of working experience who has always been drawn to helping others understand math and physics. This started in high school when I helped two of my closest friends gain a better understanding for physics. I am a big believer that different people learn in different ways, and I enjoy figuring out how to adjust the concept to the student rather than the other way around. By far my greatest passion and understanding lies in mathematics, though I am happy ... Read more

Thomas
Political Science Professor with 10+ Years of Experience
I taught courses in political science for more than ten years. It was not a matter of addressing students in a large lecture hall. I interacted with students in settings that facilitated discussion. My students learned to make arguments and to defend them. The courses that I taught included all the major subfields of political science, but they focused on the American political tradition. Where appropriate, I assigned readings from primary sources, because I found that these require a... Read more
