Award-Winning ACT Math Tutors for Students in Georgetown, TX

I am a great tutor because when I am finished tutoring a student, they not only get their work done, they understand the concept they were having trouble with. I tutored at Austin Community College for two years, I taught Secondary Mathematics for three years, and I taught at a career school for over 3 years, where I taught College Algebra, among other general education courses. ... Before getting started, I tend to get comfortable and...

...able to help thousands of struggling students in Community College and also students wanting to enter college, but lacking basic skills. The ability to help such students give me tremendous satisfaction. I have found that most students have a willingness to do well, but lack the understanding as to how to pursue their goals. It is only after winning over these students, and in many cases, even going out of the way to help them,...

Hi! My name is Xin (pronounced shin), and I'm an honors mathematics student at the University of Texas at Austin. I tutor for SAT/ACT math, and I've had recent experience in the college admissions process.

...in high school. My tutoring specialty is middle school math, Algebra I, and of course SAT math (because it's lots of middle school math!). Algebra I is my absolute favorite subject to teach and tutor - I love how it is cumulative and you keep using the skills you've learned for the rest of the year. I believe that understanding math is based on a student's skill ability. Just like a musical instrument or sport,...

My goal is to help others grow through both work and knowledge, and when students succeed, I succeed.

...Politics. I currently live at home in Maryland. I have always been a high-performing student who loves learning, and I hope to help other individuals succeed in school as well. I understand that being a good tutor is about more than just being intelligent, and I look forward to individualizing my tutoring approaches to what works best for each student. I also believe that creating a positive, encouraging environment helps people learn better, so I...

...in Taiwan after college. It was a great experience! Alongside teaching classes, I tutored individual students and adults in English language arts, and led SAT prep and humanities study groups at the Princeton Review. I love teaching and tutoring and am passionate about what my father, a former university professor, calls "the world of ideas." In particular, I am interested in literature, poetry, and the mechanics of writing, as well as issues related to psychology,...

...exams. I have also given one-on-one Calculus tutoring to several college students, as Calculus is my favorite subject. Since I love math in general, I tutor many subjects from Algebra II to SAT/GRE Test Prep. I like to be very patient and encouraging with my students, because I believe all students can excel if they are taught how to think about each problem and develop confidence. In my free time, I enjoy reading inspirational books...

...more importantly, better grades. I got my Bachelor of Arts in the David Letterman School of Communications at Ball State University where I got to produce full-length albums for local bands and make fun short films with my friends. I also minored in Spanish and have enjoyed teaching English to exchange students here in the states as well as abroad in the Galapagos Islands. I believe everyone can make changes for the better and that...

...in my large extended family to graduate from middle school, and I was able to go all the way to get a college degree and then a PhD. After I did, almost all of my siblings and cousins graduated from college and I was always there to help them--until I had to move to US to get my doctorate. However, to this day, they say that I not only helped them to learn, I inspired...

...Since high school, I've tutored and mentored students in all areas of STEM including Math, Science, and anything Computer Science/Technology related. I'm qualified to tutor in various academic subjects as well as ACT prep. But based on my past software engineering internship experiences at Apple and Microsoft, I am most confident in tutoring Computer Science topics ranging from specific coding languages to data structures, algorithms and coding projects. Outside of academia, I enjoy working out...

I assume responsibility that my student is learning and that my student is learning at higher and higher levels, in accordance with Bloom's Taxonomy. Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Evaluation, Synthesis, Analysis are higher levels of learning that give the student tools to apply lessons into maturity. I have been very successful in tutoring ACT, SAT, ISEE, and GRE.... The Socratic method, asking open-ended questions, is an excellent strategy to get a student to talk. When the tutor...

...classroom during the school year, outside during a summer camp, or on the playground in an after school program, I've always coupled an ability to teach concepts effectively with a sense of joy and genuine fun. Teaching doesn't have to be dry and boring, and enthusiasm to learn is contagious if channeled in the right way. As an educator, I strive to make connections with students in order to set goals and achieve them.

...student masters the concept. This way, weaknesses can be turned into strengths! I know that applying to colleges is a stressful process, and I want to help as much as possible! I aim to teach both the core concepts that will be applicable in higher education as well as proficiency in taking the test. These tests can be tricky and I know that it is important to teach test-taking strategies, as I have seen even...

...at Houston. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in 2008 and have been doing research at MD Anderson Cancer Center since that time. I have always been interested in helping students master science and math. I tutored chemistry as an undergraduate and more recently have worked with high school students in a variety of math and science subjects. I always strive to set goals with the student and plan a path to meet those goals. Additionally,...

...four years after moving to Taiwan. Although I learned a new language during the time I was in Taiwan, I slowly lost my English speaking, writing, and reading abilities. When I moved back to the States in 9th grade, my English was not fluent enough to be put into a classroom with the other native speakers. I worked hard, and I was able to get out of a two-year ESL (English as a Second Language)...

...experience with younger students. For those that wish to improve and understand concepts better, I will gladly use creative problem solving to find a way to relate a concept in terms the student will grasp. I have completed research projects involving wildlife and antibiotic resistance and even giving concrete the properties of steel. I served as a peer mentor to the LSU College of Science freshmen and led weekly seminars on study skills, time management,...

...really love helping people learn more about various subjects because it's great to see them improve over time and be happy and content with learning the subject and getting problems right. Also, I love talking about stuff I'm passionate about (math, physics, philosophy, astronomy, etc.) and it's great to talk about it with people who are willing to listen. I have a teaching style of catering to the student, i.e. how I teach depends on...

...a result, I've picked up on different ways of studying that are appropriate for different levels, different settings, and different subjects. So whether a student is preparing for the ACT or the LSAT, is wanting to polish writing skills, or is wanting to strengthen a particular subject, I can do it. I graduated with honors with a degree in Economics from BYU, and graduated with high honors with my law degree from Case Western. I...

...why and how, not just memorization. Teaching is an opportunity for me to continue to engage with the subjects I fell in love with when I was in school, and I hope to impart some of that passion on to any student I take on. I love teaching Mathematics and Physics, but I can be a resource for nearly all subjects up to a point. Outside of teaching, I enjoy playing chess, reading, staying in...
