Award-Winning Math Tutors for Students in Akron, OH

...University Honors program at The Ohio State University studying computer science engineering with a math minor. STEM education was very important to me in my own schooling and I believe every student should try to study STEM subjects. In teaching algebra, calculus, and physics, I like to go in depth with the material to ensure students really understand why the material works. There is a certain beauty in science and math and I encourage students...

...year. During college, I spent a lot of my time tutoring peers and elementary/middle school children in Chester, PA, volunteering at local hospice facilities and at HUP (Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania), and doing research at the Cleveland Clinic. I have also tutored abroad in Korea in standardized test prep like SAT, MCAT, and SAT II. In my free time, I enjoy dancing and cooking, as well as running cross country. I would love...

...from 1st grade through high school on topics ranging from elementary science to trigonometry test prep, but my foremost strength is the three sections of the SAT. I have roughly three years of experience tutoring and last year taught a test prep class. My approach to tutoring is to identify a students strengths and build upon them through frequent quizzes and reflective analysis. Additionally, having just gone through the college admissions process, I am privy...

...of the material. I have 3 years experience as a classroom teacher in a range of environments, along with 3 years tutoring experience. I have current teaching licenses in both Ohio and Maryland for grades 7-12 mathematics, although I am eager to expand my tutoring horizons! I have helped students succeed in math from Algebra 1 through Calculus, though I would be ready and willing to work on subjects from pre-algebra through Calculus 3 (and...

...of Cornell University, where I received a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and graduated Magna Cum Laude. Over the past several years, I have worked with students from diverse backgrounds and experiences tutoring thermodynamics (my personal favorite), chemistry, and math. I have also tutored in the past for ACT/SAT and other subjects such as history, but I am deeply passionate about science and engineering. I tend to push my students to understand conceptual topics, as opposed...

...years, the treasurer of a Duke-based high school tutoring organization. I am very invested in my students' success, and nothing makes me happier than helping them to finally grasp a difficult concept. I know that every student learns differently, so I always start my tutoring sessions by first trying to learn what the student's strengths and weaknesses are. After allowing them to work through and explain a few problems in front of me, I try...

...arts. My educational background includes an MPA in Development Practice from Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs, a B.S. in Molecular, Cell, & Developmental Biology, and a B.S. in Mathematics-Economics (both from UCLA). In addition, I have scored in the 99th percentile on the SAT, ACT, and GMAT exams and scored in the 95th percentile on the MCAT. I really enjoy working with students of all ages and backgrounds and believe all students...

...been tutoring for several years, mainly through my school's chapter of the National Honor Society. This program relied on NHS members volunteering their time to help middle school students with homework. I also have experience as a private tutor. Though I love to learn in general, my favorite subject has always been math, and it is also my favorite to tutor. Something about helping another person reach that moment of understanding in a concept is...

...curriculum. I have tutored extensively in ACT/SAT preparation, with private and professional experience. I also worked for a year at the Cleveland State Writing Center, where I helped college students improve their writing skills. I love tutoring in all its forms, but I am particularly passionate about ACT/SAT prep, writing, and high school math. Writing has always been a passion of mine, and I feel like it is applicable to so many parts of life. It...

...tree. Without a trunk and branches, there is nothing for the twigs and leaves to hang onto. As students progress through their studies, a solid conceptual core will be necessary for further learning. It is my goal to help my students to establish this core. As a student myself, I understand how frustrating school and standardized testing can sometimes be. My own experiences inform my style of teaching as well as the strategies and tips...

I am a sophomore at Rice University and intending to major in Bioengineering with a minor in Global Health Technologies. I am also planning on going to med school. My favorite subject to teach is math and editing essays is forte of mine as well. I do my very best to help all of my students. ... I'd start off by asking what the student is interested in, in both subject and extracurricular. Then, I'd ask...

...my knowledge, enthusiasm, and passion for learning and teaching to all of my tutoring sessions. Although I majored in Biology at Duke, I got a minor in Classical Studies - or ancient Greece and Rome - so I have a pretty diverse educational background. In addition to my studies in college, I was DUMB (a proud member of the Duke University Marching Band) and I conducted research on Hawaiian monk seals. In the future, I...

...school, and high school students, including mixed English-Spanish tutoring at a program for Hispanic students in South Bend, Indiana. I have always had a passion for mathematics and chemistry, but I also love to tutor in Writing and English. My goal is to help students realize their potential by providing more personalized interaction than the cookie-cutter approach used in many schools. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, figure skating, and hiking.

...My favorite subject is physics because it combines science with math and is actually applicable to real life. My learning philosophy is to just do practice problems. The more practice, the easier each problem will be. Somebody can spend all day just studying notes, but he or she will learn best by just doing practice problems. Outside of school, I own a website design business and I enjoy to do anything outdoors. I love snow...

...social studies, math, and more specific topics including research techniques, anthropology, and journalism. I love tutoring in history and social studies because, while many believe history is written in stone, there are so many nuances to continually discover. Human biases exist everywhere, even in subjects seeming as concrete as science. It's fun to peel back the layers of why or how something was written or "discovered." In my tutoring, I prioritize open and honest communication....
