Award-Winning ACT Math Tutors in San Diego, CA

...the basics - to understand the previous steps - before learning each new topic. My approach to tutoring thus focuses less on memorizing formulas and more on understanding why these work and how you can arrive at them yourself. I have always enjoyed being able to help other people and my somewhat unique outlook on mathematics, coupled with my experienced mathematics background, have enabled me to assist many different people in the past. I have experience...

...Many students at my high school came from lower-income families and didn't have expensive test prep classes or professional tutoring agencies within their means, yet still aspired to some of the best universities in the country. To help them achieve their dreams, I started my own six-week ACT prep program after school, free and open to everyone regardless of background or socioeconomic status. I ran this program for two years, working with over 100 students...

...student athletes. Since this past August, I have been tutoring high school students in Algebra I, Algebra II and Geometry at a Chicago public high school. I love working with students who are eager to learn and improve their understanding of subjects. Every student has the ability to learn and grow, and I believe it is an educator’s job to push their students to reach their potential. Since everyone learns differently, I feel that it...

...such as biology and chemistry. Currently, I tutor in MCAT preparation for all three sections. I enjoy teaching all subjects, but I am most passionate about topics relating to biology, chemistry, and biochemistry. As a tutor, I focus on making the material approachable and relatable for students--after all, I believe that the most important takeaway from any tutoring session is the desire to learn more! Balance is an important part of life and, for that...

...Invasive Diagnosis of Hereditary Fructose Intolerance in the North American Population. I completed two years of graduate work at the Scripps Research institute where I studied cancer biology, immunology, and glycobiology the science of sugars! Ive performed well on standardized tests (SATs and GREs) and am excited to help others conquer these necessary exams! I took calculus up to Calc IV (differential equations) so I can also help with those pesky integrals. In my spare...

...result of their own curiosity. My passion is in creating a space where students are excited to learn mathematics. I have watched my students regain confidence in their mathematical abilities, find motivation to ask probing mathematical questions, and take on challenges they did not think were possible. I greatly enjoy working with students of all ages, backgrounds, and experiences to increase their understanding and enthusiasm to learn. I look forward to working with you and...

...when you do not know how to do something. I also believe that flexibility is important because no two people learn the same way. What works for one would not always work for another, so you have to approach each person differently and adapt your teaching method to meet the needs of the individual. As for my experience, I started out helping my classmates in school and have not stopped since. In high school I...

...equations, and introductory physics. After graduating I continued to tutor, but expanded my subjects to include chemistry and test prep. Accompanying this change was a change in clientele to include several high school students, as well as students from elementary-level algebra and fractions to graduates preparing for the GRE. I most enjoy helping the students who are interested in physical science or math; this subject is to me very beautiful and deep, and I love...

...high school teacher for more than six years, teaching French, math from pre-algebra to algebra II, and SAT Prep. My philosophy of teaching is that each student has a unique learning style, and thus the learning experience should be tailored to each individual. I do this by discussing with the student what they believe are their needs, and establishing clear, measurable goals. No matter the student, however, success depends upon dedication and commitment, on the...

...terms that relate to everyday life to aid understanding. I also like to break concepts down into their most basic elements and build from the bottom up to create a strong foundation. Outside of academics, I play basketball, racquetball, football, and softball on occasion. I like to box and rock climb, and I am open to almost anything outdoors. I also write and play music (mostly Guitar and Bass) as a creative outlet.
