Geometry Tutors

I have consistently tutored math subjects since high school. My clients have ranged from middle school students learning basic math skills to college students taking calculus. What makes me a great tutor is my ability to connect with my clients on a personal level and help them figure out how they best learn the material. Every student is different, and my ability to adapt my tutoring methods for someone's individual needs make me a fun and understanding tutor.

As an MS and PhD graduate student, I have experience teaching, tutoring, and mentoring college undergraduates and postgraduates in most disciplines of biology. As the oldest child of a large family, I am also very good at working with elementary, middle school, and high school students. At these levels, I am capable of assisting most subjects, but primarily sciences and mathematics.

First of all, due to the nature of this job, my hours are very flexible so your son/daughter will get the utmost attention from me during the week/weekend. I have a firm grasp on all subjects regarding Mathematics up to college level Calculus 2. As far as English is concerned, since my degree is both a science and humanities degree, I have mastered how to write persuasively, informatively, and creatively. Critical thinking skills and good reading comprehension, I believe, is crucial to succeeding in any English class or pass any sort of exam in English as well.

At Cornell University, where I completed my undergraduate studies, I was a math tutor at the campus's official tutoring center. I helped a range of students. Some were English majors and some majored in Physics. I learned how to explain math in many ways for many different minds.

I use an informal style so that the student can feel comfortable asking questions, hopefully relating personally to the students so that they can actually have fun and look forward to tutoring. I tutor standardized tests and most high school classes. .

I like to take away the serious and abstract nature of the material, and make it relevant to your personal interests. This has worked very well - some of my students even made me cookies*! I strongly believe that anyone can be good at math and science, and during my time as a tutor, I have proved myself right on several occasions. In my free time, I enjoy listening to music, irritating my girlfriend with my guitar playing, reading just about anything, and practising some sweet Taekwondo moves. *Payment of cookies is not necessary or expected.

My academic skills reach beyond Mathematics, as I have been on the honor roll throughout my entire academic career. I've also worked for laboratories at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and California Institute of Technology. My tutoring methods cater to every student's needs individually. I feel as though there is no cookie cutter method for tutoring students, rather each student's needs and abilities be assessed before developing a tutoring system that ensures he or she will make steps to a greater understanding of the material. When these steps are connected and the student can demonstrate the skill is when I know he or she fully grasps the material and can move on.

Odd sports aren't his only concern, though: in high school, he also received a National Merit Scholarship, was nominated as a Presidential Scholar, and scored a perfect 36 on his ACT, a 2370 on his SAT, and top "5" scores on nine AP tests. In the past, he's privately tutored chemistry, taught Sunday school for second and third graders, and coached younger students in music as the trombone section leader at his high school. In the summer of 2011, he ran his own ACT tutoring business, raising student scores an average of four composite points. Now, when he's not tutoring, he enjoys playing jazz piano and going to the zoo with his friends..

I grew up in Chicago and recently moved to Phoenix in order to escape the winters and enjoy the sunshine. So far I have not been disappointed. In my free time I practice my trumpet, play ice hockey and volunteer at my local animal shelter..

I would come up with the lesson plans and implement them in a small classroom setting. I believe that I am a great tutor because I have a simplistic approach to many things. In other words, I try and make things as simple as possible first so that my students can understand the fundamentals first and then move on to more complex things. I also use analogies to help students understand concepts.
