Math has always made sense to me, and I strive to help others gain that same feeling of understanding and confidence. I know that all students may not love math as much as...

I graduated from San Jose State University with degrees in Philosophy/Religious Studies and Physics/Mathematics. Throughout college I tutored various math subjects, physics, and chemistry. After years in the business world I taught math with Denver Public Schools as a Blue Print Math Fellow. I am passionate about learning and helping others. Everyone has a different 'style' of learning so as a coach I need to grasp that and present each subject with a congruent style.

...and helping people. Many people say that they aren't a "math person" but I would argue that's not that case. Everyone can understand math, but not everyone will understand it in the same way. My goal is to open student's minds up to math based on their way of thinking and learning style. When I'm not solving a math problem you can probably find me competing in sports or the occasional card/board game.... The first and...

The program covered marine sciences, leadership, and seamanship. I am very experienced in working with teenagers and college students to have them meet a standard.

I tutor a broad range of subjects including exam prep for IB, AP, ACT and SAT exams.

I am a life-long learner with a strong passion for education. I work as a financial analyst for an EdTech company, but I have missed the ability to interact with students and teach some of my favorite subjects. I have previously tutored for Varsity Tutors and cannot wait to get engaged in tutoring again! I am available to tutor in a variety of levels of math, ranging from Algebra to Calculus, as well as Spanish.

...by a visceral love of adventure. Despite these innate qualities, I am also very driven to help other people, and tutoring is a simple, yet powerful and effective way I can help others.

I don't give my students the answers; I give them the tools to be successful in whatever...

The subjects that I love tutoring the most are math (Algebra, Trig, and Calculus), Chemistry (Honors or...

...quantum mechanics. As an educator, it is essential to prepare students with the right skills not only to master the curriculum, but to also develop the academic habits that lead to life long learning and generating a positive impact on society. For each student I work with, I tailor my tutoring to match their individualized needs. I have worked with students who have ADHD and students who just need additional scaffolding to optimize learning.... For each...

...but enjoy their school work. I believe that for a student to have an effective learning experience, the tutor must not only be passionate about teaching, but also about learning. As a passionate learner, I try to interpret the world around me, be that math, science, or why my garden behaves differently in Colorado than my family's in Nebraska. Early on in life, I loved numbers, patterns, and the problem solving nature of my parents'...

...to teaching students in one-on-one sessions and finding more individualized lessons. When I think about teaching, I try to focus educating the whole student, not just improving their abilities in mathematics, but rather what is going to make them a well-rounded adult, that has the mental fortitude to work through difficult challenges. Many of my students leave my class with a strong understanding of mathematics, as well as a great depth of wisdom about the...

I currently work for a nonprofit organization that trains young...

Throughout college and my two years as a math teacher, I found that there isn't one best teaching method. Instead, each student is unique and this reflects in their learning style. A good teacher will be able to change strategies to accommodate for differences in learning styles. I hope to be the best teacher that I can be by listening to my students and adjust my style of teaching to fit the student's needs.... I believe...

Additionally, my ESL certification has granted me further opportunities to hone my teaching skills and techniques. I enjoy teaching a wide variety of subjects, but I gravitate towards English, Essay Writing, and Literature. After graduation I moved to Colorado to experience itsvivacious geography, culture, and city. When I am not working, I can often be found outside soaking up the...

...private school in Iowa, a summer studying Arabic in Texas, and a semester studying and traveling in Italy. Now, I am lucky enough to be working on my Masters at DU.
