I love tutoring because of the experiences I've had as a student. In my experiences at Richard Montgomery High School's rigorous IB Magnet Program and Stanford University, I've learned how large of a difference a good teacher can make. I also have learned that hard work and dedication to academics pays off. Everybody learns differently - as a student, I memorized songs and created flow charts to study for my AP, IB, SAT, and ACT tests. It took creativity and experimentation to find the learni...

Bioengineering is not just an academic discipline, it is a mindset. It is impossible to succeed in my major without being passionate, not just about the field itself, but about math, biology, chemistry, physics, computational modeling, medicine, and everything in between. I am a student driven purely by curiosity of the world and in being so curious, have developed a passion for seeing others succeed in the aforementioned subjects. I spent two years at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania work... Read more
Ethson
Computer Science student specializing in algorithms and the web
- $50 / h
- Stanford , California ( 94305 )
- 10 miles
I'm a senior studying Computer Science at Stanford University. Throughout my academic experience I came to realize that despite a good lecturer or interesting material, some subjects require students to bounce around ideas or reinforce concepts in a safe environment that is conducive to learning. While study groups work best in my opinion, I have been fortunate enough to experience the advantages of a good tutor on the development and understanding of a subject and have also participated as a...

I have been working as a tutor ever since I was old enough to help my little sister with her math, English, and science homework. I found that I enjoyed helping her and explaining material in different ways until she was able to comprehend her material. As a freshman in high school, I began to volunteer my time at local elementary and middle schools to tutor in a variety of subjects, and continued to do so up until my senior year. I have worked with students on math, biology, chemistry, histo... Read more

In high school, I taught competition math (MATHCOUNTS/AMC/AIME) to gifted middle school kids every summer. I also volunteered at my middle school's after school MATHCOUNTS program to teach, grade, and write problems every Monday night. I have experience tutoring both middle schoolers and high schoolers. I really enjoy tutoring because it is so much more personalized than classroom learning, so it's so much more effective and gratifying to figure out how each student learns best and how to...
