Award-Winning ACT Math Tutors for Students in Maple Grove, MN

Hello! My name is Alyssa Sernett. I graduated in 2013 with a degree in Elementary Education and a Social Studies Endorsement in grades 5-8. I worked as a teacher for 3 years until the birth of my daughter. Now I'm a stay-at-home mom who loves to still teach! I currently tutor about 10 students and can't wait to work with more!

Hello, my name is Ethan Sandum and I'm a student at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities studying civil engineering. I have tutored students ranging from 3rd grade all the way through high school. I specialize in math and ACT tutoring.

...the COVID-19 pandemic, I am completing my degree from my home in Minnesota! When I graduate, I am hoping to go on to obtain a master's in education and become a licensed teacher. I want to see a world of educational equity and I think tutoring is a great way to get there. I believe it is important to get to know every student, their learning style, and what they need from a tutor before...

...helping students prepare for tests or projects, I enjoy sharing analogies or examples that help solidify concepts and having an individualized approach to help students grasp material in a way that works for them. My goal is to try to impart an appreciation of knowledge and a love of learning to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, traveling to Europe and Central America, delving deeper into the Spanish language, sports...

...do something that made more of a positive impact on society. I decided to pursue a career in education because I wanted to help provide students with the same opportunities that I received. I am now pursuing a Master's Degree in education from the University of Minnesota and am working toward obtaining my K-6 elementary teaching license. During the day, I work full time as a reading tutor at a school in South Minneapolis. I...

...MIT with my B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering with a double major in Music, while completing the pre-health track. I have been tutoring college level physics, biology, multivariable calculus, and organic chemistry for the past four years. I have also helped high school students prepare for the SAT and ACT. I am an avid classical pianist, EMT, swimmer, and tinkerer. I love explaining things and paying forward my knowledge to those around me!... It is the job...

...included, are working together towards a greater comprehension of a difficult text. These experiences have led me to a general teaching ethos of flexibility and adaptation. I believe the tutor should be working to meet the student on their level, and I take every opportunity I can to adapt my style of teaching to the individual's proficiencies. My favorite subjects to tutor are English, writing, college essays, ACT reading, ACT writing, and philosophy. When I'm...

I am passionate about optimizing the learning of my students through the simplification of difficult concepts. My goal is to empower students to practice and improve upon the things they find most difficult. A class with me involves the use of many examples that are related to the concept the student is struggling with. Even though theory is important, it is often more useful to practice in order to understand the theory.

I have been tutoring for two years now and am very eager to help students excel in their respective fields! I am an aspiring medical student and am currently completing a Masters at Columbia University in New York. Excited to work with everyone!

School can be very challenging and require persistence and strong problem solving skills to excel at. I teach my students the kind of skills and habits to be successful on their own. I tutored biology, chemistry, physics, and computer engineering courses in college and enjoy solving the challenges that those courses throw at you!

...master's degrees: one in human rights policy from the University of Minnesota, and one in discrete mathematics from Michigan Technological University, where I also completed my undergraduate studies with a dual major in computer science and mathematics and a physics minor. As part of my master's program, I held an assistantship teaching first-year calculus for three semesters (after one semester of training), and I have worked with individual students for several years through private tutoring...

I am a Mechanical Engineering student at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. I have had a lot of experience tutoring standardized prep through my own old tutoring non-profit. I believe in learning by doing, so we are going to be doing a lot of practice problems to learn all the best test taking methods!

...difficulty. These methods can be adjusted depending on the needs of the student. I have taken many standardized tests recently and can be of some help in studying for these tests. These are my stats: 1560 on the SAT (790 on math, 770 on reading), 35 on ACT, 5 on AP Chemistry, 5 on AP Biology, 5 on AP Physics C (Mechanics), 5 on AP Physics C (E&M), 5 on AP Calculus BC and a...

...was always the friend who edited everyone's essays in high school and college, so I decided to turn it into a side gig! I have experience in legal writing/editing, screenwriting, and journalism, making me a great copy editor. My kind and patient nature allow me to offer objective feedback without diminishing the confidence of the student. I also love helping young writers find their voice! I'm a firm believer that you don't have to give...

...give back. In my free time I really enjoy being outside with friends, long boarding, and martial arts. I achieved my black belt in Goju-Ryu Karate after eight years, and now frequently practice independently at home. I was lucky to be able to visit several countries in Europe this summer and hope to travel more on upcoming holidays. My goal is to work as an English teacher in a Taiwanese Summer camp after this school...

...my 2 grandkids, and my three grown kids. As an undergraduate student, I tutored engineering and math courses in walk-in 'help' sessions. My subjects were math (calculus I and II, and systems engineering.) As a graduate student, I taught computer programming for peers in my graduate program. The purpose was to share knowledge with my peers so that they could complete computer programming assignments as required in their class work. At the graduate level, I...

...College, I am dedicated to helping middle school and high school students enhance their math skills and to helping students prepare for SAT/ACT testing.

I believe that fostering a supportive environment encourages students to explore different problem-solving methods, ultimately boosting their confidence and understanding....

...tutoring career. My favorite subject to tutor is Algebra 2 because it forms the foundation for much of mathematics and is essential for success on standardized tests like the ACT and SAT. I believe the best way to learn is through practice, so I focus on guiding students through practice problems to build their confidence and deepen their understanding. This approach allows me to identify their individual needs and tailor my teaching to help them...

...a college admissions essay, or another important piece of writing? Look no further. I also love working with children and have lots of experience doing so, so if your child needs a little extra help with spelling or reading comprehension, I would be more than happy to help. I would also be so excited to pass on the Revit skills I have learned during my career to someone just starting or struggling to learn this...

...speakers. I am very flexible with the needs of my students and aim to educate rather than just lecture.
