Award-Winning ACT Math Tutors in Salt Lake City, UT

...Sunday School lessons and help plan weekly activities. Currently I stay at home with our two little boys while my husband works on a PhD at Stanford and I love it, but I miss teaching and working with students. I tutor a wide range of subjects including history, writing, and math. I am passionate about each of them for different reasons. History helps us identify bias, see cause and effect, think critically, and learn empathy. Writing...

...classes, and a variety of electives. I have traditionally preferred tutoring physics and math, but recently constructed a chemistry course that has built my enthusiasm for that subject. I have had experience teaching students of many ages and abilities, and believe that patient and understanding instruction is paramount to a students success. I am very patient and caring, and I take a sincere interest in my students. I consider myself to be a well rounded...

...schools. I enjoy working with all age groups and enjoy helping students understand and develop their unique learning styles. I have been working one-on-one with high school and college students for over 5 years, focusing on physics, french, chemistry, biology, mathematics, and ACT preparation. I have had great success over the years with my students. One student improved his ACT score by 4 points in just three months of weekly tutoring sessions. Most all of...

...our strengths and weaknesses should not define what we are skilled at but should help us develop skills across subject matters. For most of my academic career, I believed that I was bad at math and science because I excelled in writing and literature. One day, my AP Calculus teacher explained a complicated mathematical concept in terms that my literary side understood. She taught me that all subjects are understandable when they relate to information...

...is being explained with examples or illustrated with something visual. To elicit deeper thinking, I would ask students open-ended questions. The opening question of my tutoring, for example, is typically used to bring students mind to the learning context. It is often related to such topics as popular news, familiar natural phenomena, daily activities, or interesting stories that are relevant to the learning task. To further challenge students, I encourage students to raise questions that...

I am here to help students who are struggling to understand their assignments and coursework. I've been through the same thing myself, and I know what worked for me to pass classes and get good grades. If I can help you do the same, then we'll both be happy.

...help students become independent, comfortable, and confident in the fields they are studying. I love helping people get to the "aha" moment when they really understand what's being taught. In my experience, one of the most important parts of tutoring is setting clear expectations at the beginning and working toward a common goal. Given the right goals and assistance, I truly believe that anyone can master any of the subjects I teach.

...to help other students when they struggled to learn new things. I loved seeing the light turn on as they realized that they were able to figure it out, they just needed to be pushed in the right direction. This love has naturally led me to be both a tutor and a teaching assistant while I work on my bachelor's degree in Applied Statistics and is what lead me to find Varsity Tutors. Although my...

...I'm great at helping students make sense of new or difficult concepts. As a tutor, I am careful to make sure that students are able to do problems on their own, without relying too heavily on memorization. Outside of school and work, I enjoy getting up in the mountains whenever I can. I especially like hiking, fishing, and backpacking. I'm also a huge nerd when it comes to fantasy and science fiction novels.... I don't believe anyone is doomed to be bad at math for life. The brain is like a muscle, and while some people may be out of shape, everyone can become smarter by pushing themselves. As I teach, I give students the confidence they need to become "smart" at any subject.

I love to teach and find it fun to learn, my approach as a tutor is help students love learning through developing an encompassing view-perspective- on their subjects. Or in other words by turning a list of things to memorize into a captivating story. I love Basketball and the arts, particularly movies, music...

...current curriculum includes advanced engineering topics like Separations, Heat Transfer, Thermodynamics, and Physical Chemistry. These topics are all built on the foundation of the subjects I want to tutor. I've had the opportunity to apply them in many capacities in my jobs at an oil refinery, an iodine plant, and a copper mine. My teaching experience covers all ages.

...them identify a style that works custom for them. I had a tutor, Danika, a couple years ago and I was always so impressed by the way she tried to help me understand each topic differently depending on what made sense to me. I've always looked to her in trying to emulate her teaching style into my own. Now I try to take the time to understand the students thought process and their learning style....
