Award-Winning ACT Math Tutors for Students in Maryland

...test-prep instructor for over 7 years and have absolutely loved it! It has always been very gratifying for me to help students develop academically and improve their performances on important tests like the LSAT and SAT. I have an excellent academic record and have done very well on standardized tests such as the SAT and the LSAT. I understand the skills and strategies needed to succeed on these tests, and how to present them to...

...experiences outside of academic instruction include 8 years of teaching Kenpo Karate, several years of swimming instruction for noncompetitive swimmers and triathletes, and four years training college and graduate students at annual disaster response training exercises for the Consortium for Humanitarian Service and Education. I apparently aspire to have a resume similar to The-Most-Interesting-Man-In-The-World's. As a teacher, I try to "guide learning" rather than just reciting facts or "teaching at" a student. I believe that...

...my expectations, and I hope to do the same for my students. Since I have been on the other side of the picture, I know what worked best for me and hope to incorporate those techniques in my own practice. I love teaching and the feeling it gives both me and my student to see improvement. Practice is key in improvement, and I will make sure to provide ample opportunity for my students to do...

...Computer Science. I have always excelled and enjoyed math, but I know that many students struggle in this area. This is why I like to tutor students in math, to show that it is doable and something they can excel at too! My favorite areas to teach are Arithmetic, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, and Calculus, but am happy to teach most math areas. During my time in High School I helped tutor my fellow peers in math;...

...so enjoyable to me, as I love explaining the concepts and ideas that pique my curiosity. As a musician, I am pursuing a career as an orchestral conductor and I've spent over a decade playing bassoon in orchestras and chamber music groups. To me, conducting is to music what teaching is to math: I get to guide people's understanding and enjoyment of the music through intimate interpersonal communication! It is endlessly fun and rewarding.

...I pursued adventures as an AmeriCorps Child Services Specialist, where I assisted with refugee resettlement. This was a truly humbling experience, one in which I worked with individuals with limited English proficiency and diverse backgrounds. I then combined my love of working in client services, education, and healthcare by working as Medical Assistant for an organization focused on serving individuals without health insurance. I have returned to school for an Accelerated Second Degree Program to...

...Research. I am very interested in education, and I have spent lots of time studying different education systems and teaching methods. I believe that every single student has a unique way of learning and processing information, so it is important for them to develop their own studying habits and learning methods. That is why I want to be a tutor - so that I can help students discover their ideal way of learning. I am...

...with Model United Nations as a conference planner and attendee. I helped produce musical theater and was a member of a gender inclusive Greek Society. I worked as a teaching assistant with Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth from 2013-2015, helping teach classes on international relations and human rights. Working with CTY has been an amazing experience; there's nothing better than teaching a subject that I'm passionate about and having my students understand and internalize...

...Chemical and Biochemical Engineering. Since graduation, I have been attending the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, preparing to specialize in pediatrics. Throughout college and medical school, I tutored and taught both younger students and peers. I also have experience with curriculum development at the high school and graduate school levels, including a published, peer-reviewed medical school curriculum. While I tutor a broad range of subjects in the mathematics and sciences, I am most passionate...

...sophomore at UC Berkeley, studying Economics and Public Health. I love working with others, getting involved on campus, and spending time with family and friends. In high school and freshmen year of college, I was on the Speech Team. Getting to know the speech and debate community has been truly amazing, and I know my passions shine through with everything I do. I also enjoy listening to country music, playing badminton, and writing poems. My...

...I have been working with children with developmental disabilities at an ABA agency in the Washington, DC area for the past few years. My job includes creating measurable milestones to help learners achieve their goals, and determining what teaching methods will be most effective for each individual client. I believe that active student responding, personalized programs, and a focus on measurable goals are all important components of a successful learning experience. I hope to bring...

...college - a subject that I swore I would never take again after high school. Four years later, I graduated with a math minor and now work with statistical/econometric modeling everyday in my professional life. I hope to help other students find the same confidence in their own mathematical abilities. Outside of work I love yoga/pilates, participate in a book club with a few college friends, bake, and enjoy long walks around the various waterfronts...

...college entry exams, particularly the ACT. I enjoy biology simply because of the fascinating subject matter, but I especially enjoy test prep because it allows me to really explore the thought process that goes on behind analyzing and answering the test questions. I strive to help all of my students not only find the right answers, but to equip them to think critically and perform well on all tests and in their future studies. Outside...

...tutoring Economics through my university's tutoring center, but soon branched out to local junior high and high schools where I focused on tutoring Math. While I always enjoyed tutoring undergraduate students, I found great satisfaction in teaching Math to struggling teenagers. From my experiences, I learned that anyone can tackle basic mathematical ideas if they are given proper patience and instruction. Furthermore, I have learned that every student has a unique style of learning. My...

...Diseases. I then went on to complete a Masters program at Georgetown University in human physiology. Given the amount of schooling I have gone through myself, I have taken a wide range of subjects and more standardized tests than I would like to admit. I have taught students of almost every age in various fields such as elementary science, Hebrew, chemistry, MCAT prep, and many more.. My ultimate plan is to go to medical school,...

...at the University of Georgia studying Exercise and Sports Science with the hopes of becoming an Athletic Trainer. I first began tutoring in middle school. I went to local elementary school and taught after school programs in computer science. Since then I have done some tutoring at a local library for students who needed homework help (high school) and have helped teach tennis at an after school program. I know that every student learns differently...

...the Philosophy of Human Rights. During my time at the University, I received A+'s on essays and tests in political science, philosophy, literature, and humanities. I studied abroad in China for eight months, learning Mandarin and teaching English to high school and college students. When I returned, I took an AmeriCorps position as a tutor in basic math and reading skills for underprivileged youth, and later another tutoring position that allowed me to create my...

...to the US to play college tennis and then I stayed in the US for medical school. I am currently doing a Master's degree in public health and my schedule is very flexible. I am able to offer tutoring in a variety of subjects, especially in the areas of mathematics and science. I have tutored students before for SAT prep and have experience with teaching anatomy. I also taught tennis for five years which is...

...providing subject-specific help through online tutoring. I have also worked as a camp counselor, so I know how to treat students with the respect that they deserve, while also ensuring that they understand the material before them. In the long-term, I would like to work in the US government and help create foreign policy. For now, though, I'm interested in learning more about the foreign policy and national security challenges that face the United States today...

I have spent a lot of time tutoring people of all ages -- I have worked with preschoolers, kids in elementary school, and adults. I really like to learn and experience as much as I can: I spent a year teaching in Korea and another four months traveling the globe. I hope that my enthusiasm is infectious!
