Award-Winning ACT Tutors in Taylorsville, UT

...people get to the "aha" moment when they really understand what's being taught. In my experience, one of the most important parts of tutoring is setting clear expectations at the beginning and working toward a common goal. Given the right goals and assistance, I truly believe that anyone can master any of the subjects I...

...learn best rather than having topics taught at you. For standardized testing: I have taken the special classes and labored through the workbooks to prepare for taking the exams myself. The trick is to learn the test and know how to beat it with the right tools, and I am eager to pass along what...

I tutor in math, physics, and test preparation. Math and Physics are some of my greatest passions, so I have absolutely loved my experience as a math tutor. I am invested in each of my students' success...... I strongly believe that how a tutor teaches is, at least, as important as what the tutor teaches. Furthermore, not every student learns best in the same way. My philosophy when teaching is that each student's strengths, weaknesses, and...

...Young University. I am currently applying to medical school and hope to become a physician some day. I love explaining science concepts including biology, chemistry, and psychology. I believe that tutoring is a guide to gaining understanding and complete comprehension of a subject, rather than just preparing for a test. I aim to help my...

Let's make learning fun!

...have had many people like that that have tried to help me to reach my potential and so I would also love to help others to do the same. I'm a neuroscience major at BYU and I love music in every aspect (dancing, singing, listening, playing instruments, composing, etc.) I have worked with students sporadically...

...lived in South America for two years. It was a lot easier to learn Spanish when I could find ways to make it enjoyable! Spanish is my favorite subject to teach because it is such a valuable tool to have in this day and age where people are coming together from all over the world....

...enjoy the subject and a lot of times students just need to think about things a new way to understand it easily. My teaching philosophy is that the biggest key to learning is just getting in the right mindset. Being willing and excited to learn and then understanding what the question is really looking for...

...principles and hard work. I have the perspective of a student trying to understand, not a teacher trying to preach. I love working with people from the ground up; we start at the comfort zone and work our way to improvement. I know I don't know everything, so I'm excited to learn as well!... Start where you are and work up from there. Setting unrealistic expectations from the get-go usually decreases confidence rather than building it.

...high school and college students for over 5 years, focusing on physics, french, chemistry, biology, mathematics, and ACT preparation. I have had great success over the years with my students. One student improved his ACT score by 4 points in just three months of weekly tutoring sessions. Most all of my students have seen their...

...have been working as the science teacher at a private boarding school for girls. A lot of my work there has involved working individually with students in chemistry, physics, biology, earth science, various math classes, and a variety of electives. I have traditionally preferred tutoring physics and math, but recently constructed a chemistry course that...

...I love tutoring students in English and foreign languages. When I lived in Brazil for 1.5 years, I not only reached a native speaker level of fluency, but also taught English and Portuguese to students ranging from 8-60 years old. I also spent half of my time there teaching Portuguese to English and Spanish speakers...

...I've worked as a one-on-one piano teacher for four years and have also served as a tutor and teaching assistant in various subjects over the past two years. My teaching philosophy has two main principles: 1. The most effective tutors don't just explain material they provide scaffolding that helps students understand concepts for themselves. 2. All...

...Beyond the world of teaching, I love volleyball and the outdoors. Hiking, camping, backpacking, being outside energizes my soul. Volleyball is my sport, and I love teaching the basics to people, but I enjoy practically all sports, despite my pitiable attempts at soccer. Playing guitar, listening to music, and reading books also brighten my life.

...Schools. I have been a tutor and Teaching Assistant for the past two years at BYU for various different science based classes including chemistry, physics, biology, anatomy, and physiology courses. I have also had experience teaching in various different capacities other than college courses including in spanish and with high school students. This past year...

...math and I'm great at helping students make sense of new or difficult concepts. As a tutor, I am careful to make sure that students are able to do problems on their own, without relying too heavily on memorization. Outside of school and work, I enjoy getting up in the mountains whenever I can. I...

...Governors' University. I have 30 years experience teaching middle school, high school, and community college mathematics. My teaching philosophy is learning through mastery. Mastery requires identifying mistakes and correcting them. I try to use a step by step straight forward approach so that students don't become bogged down in the theory of math.

...and mathematics. I have a bachelor's degree in geological science (geophysics) from University of Colorado Boulder with a minor in mathematics. Part of my success in college came from the preparation I had from taking AP Calculus and Physics courses in high school. I'm a huge fan of visual aids and examining real-life examples and...

...well as my MD. I relied on tutors throughout my education to help me succeed and want to help you do the same! Looking forward to working with you one-on-one or in small groups to help identify areas of knowledge gaps and addressing them head on. Before our sessions, I'll want you to come prepared...

I don't have any direct tutoring/teaching experience (yet!), but I have spent years helping peers and friends learn more about STEM topics. I have a flexible schedule and am willing to help anyone that needs me. I will help you develop your critical...
