Jeffrey
High School and College Tutor - Math and Science
I graduated from Oberlin College with a Bachelor's degree in Biology and minors in Mathematics and French. My philosophy with helping students stems from what I found engaging and enlightening in my own education - discussion and exploration of ideas. By framing sessions as a conversation more than a traditional lecture, in my experience students often gain a more complete understanding of, and greater comfort with, concepts than by memorization alone. I also find that, by addressing students... Read more

Greetings, My name is Gabrielle A. H., and I have a Master's degree in Education from The Ohio State University.

There is a big difference between knowing something and showing others how to do something. To be a great teacher or tutor, you need good communica... Read more
