Dimislavka

Expert in Mathematics (all topics)

I am currently teaching at high school. I have my degree in Mathematics and I enjoy sharing my knowledge with students. Mathematics seems to be very hard for students to understand. What I do in my classes is to try to overcome that "fear" of math in my students mind. Then I do step by step explanation of every problem students have. If something is not clear we go through that part as many times as students need. Let's say that the patience is very important in teaching math. I have tuto... Read more

Mike

Essay/Creative Writing, Screenwriting, Literary Analysis, College Apps

Contract screenwriter. Published author. Graphic novelist. Forensics instructor. Enough about me. This is about YOU. And, yes, I really do care. Creativity isn't a vague concept too abstract to understand. Writing is about finding, developing and sharing your "voice". Bold and atypical -- but justified -- choices win. Impactful teachers demystify the process. Our sessions are like coffee talk with a friend: loose and flexible to understand individual needs yet highly effective. One ... Read more

Amisha

Experienced Developer and CS Volunteer at High School

I am coding most of the time and love to share my experience with other. I have been teaching Java at a high school in California. As I interact with students on a regular basis, I feel they are more comfortable understanding the concepts first than jumping on to practice coding directly. I mainly focus on the basic concepts as well as on the lab work. Besides this, I am a strong believer of encouraging girls to learn more about Computer Science. If you look at any computer science class, ... Read more
