Award-Winning ACT Tutors in Chula Vista, CA

...describe math as a sort of puzzle. Each piece builds off of something else, creating a more complete picture. It's therefore always important to have a solid grasp of the basics - to understand the previous steps - before learning each new topic. My approach to tutoring thus focuses less on memorizing formulas and more on understanding why these work and how you can arrive at them yourself. I have always enjoyed being able to...

...district’s K-5 science education. A large part of my teaching experience is in SAT prep, and I am passionate about working with students to maximize their scores and help them with SAT-specific strategies they can use on test day.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, outdoor activities like running, playing soccer, and...

...my last course as a long-distance independent study. I also scored a 2040 on my SAT's. Last year, I worked as a tutor in a classroom of high-school students at West Philadelphia. The focus of our sessions was on creating dramatic monologues to be performed at an Arts Festival. I have also worked as a teacher's assistant at Northern Virginia Community College. In this capacity, I worked with 25 students of disparate ages and backgrounds...

...well as for AP and IB exams. While I have tutored a broad range of subjects, my concentration lies in test prep and math, physics, and chemistry. The area I have the most experience with is test-prep tutoring. Let me be completely frank: reading and math are fun; standardized tests in reading and math are not. My philosophy is to make the process as easy and painless for my students as possible, by sharing tips...

Hi! My name is Jeremy, I'm a graduate from San Diego State University. I studied Ecology and Theatre Design, but I love learning about all things. Outside of class, catch me hiking, camping, swimming, surfing, or soaking up some sun at the beach. Got a question? I've got the answer. ... I strive to make learning fun, not a chore.... I would do a quick review, make sure they know the basics to start on the class, then go over how the process of the class will work and important things to focus on. That way all the big questions are out of the way at the beginning.

...or Pre-Calculus, because I myself am very passionate about these subjects, and think about many the core concepts a lot outside of class, so I have a wholesome understanding of them. I always like to emphasize "the basics" or "the building blocks" when I tutor, because oftentimes these concepts can be easily forgotten, and having a more wholesome understanding of the basics can almost always make the rest of a subject "click," especially in math...

In my spare time I enjoy biking, hiking, climbing, exploring, reading, and going to the beach!

...topic is confusing the student. Once the main point or points of confusion have been isolated, it is my job to try the explanation again but this time from a new angle. There always exists an angle from which a subject can be understood. And as a tutor, it is my job to find it. Ultimately, I am a great tutor because I thoroughly enjoy learning, and love helping others to do the same.

...believe that flexibility is important because no two people learn the same way. What works for one would not always work for another, so you have to approach each person differently and adapt your teaching method to meet the needs of the individual. As for my experience, I started out helping my classmates in school and have not stopped since. In high school I was an AVID tutor that dealt with good study habits, note...
