Award-Winning ACT Math Tutors in Seattle, WA

...learn. I believe in teaching to an individual. I want to know my student's strengths and weaknesses, their knowledge base and their opinions. Most importantly, I want to know their motivation. The more I know about a student, the more I can customize lessons and instruction. My tool belt is extensive, but sometimes it only takes a few tricks for a student to overcome obstacles. I teach to the test. I believe test taking skills...

...science since I was a little kid (I was that weird girl playing with dirt and rocks during recess). I did what I like to call the "Nerd Trifecta" in high school: math team, knowledge bowl, and science olympiad. I've tutored since I was in middle school, and I love finding an explanation or analogy to help someone else really grasp a concept! I'm applying to grad school now, and in my spare time I...

...be such a rich and rewarding experience. I am able to help others better connect to the true joys and fulfillment that can stem from learning, and in exchange, I have the pleasure of witnessing positive growth and transformation in young minds.

...Now that I have graduated, I have been working on my m=Masters in teaching with the hopes of becoming a high school Biology and/or Chemistry teacher. I have a passion for education and love helping students learn and succeed - not just to pass the classes they need to, but to have a thorough understanding of and passion for the topic. While I tutor a variety of subjects, my passions are Biology and Chemistry. In...

I'm fun, approachable, and want to guide my students to learning. I am a current teacher. I am passionate about education and helping others learn, and understand that learning is different for everyone. I always work to adjust my teaching style to a student's individual needs.... First, I believe that every student is capable of learning. Every person has the right to a good education, and it is the responsibility of the teacher, whether classroom or private, to make sure they are prepared to provide said education. Also, a safe environment must be created in order for learning to occur, because learning can be hard, and learners of all ages fail before they succeed. I experience this daily in my own learning as I strive to be a better musician, and I try to instill the same joy of life-long learning in my students.

...subjects of the SAT, ACT, and GRE. When I was in high school, I earned a National Merit Scholarship. I have been tutoring adults since I was an undergraduate, and I have also tutored older elementary school students, middle school students, and high school students. Most of my students are aiming for scores that will help them get into highly selective universities. Some of my students also have ADHD, autism, or communication disorders. All of...

...to college and beyond. I am very patient and understanding by nature, and have a knack for getting to the root of any problem in order to help students understand it themselves. I am not interested in simply just giving you the correct answer. My ultimate goal is to help you develop a deeper, more solid foundation for the subject so you can go beyond just passing the class - you can start to excel.

My research focused on Latin American literature, and as part of my master's I completed coursework in Spanish, French, and English. I earned a B.A. in History, Comparative Literature, and European Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. While in college, I spent a year at the University of Seville in Spain. As a tutor and...

As the lead teacher for an after-school program serving Somali refugees and as a monitor at a French bilingual school, I have immersed myself in the region’s splendid diversity. This work as an educator has given me experience developing age-appropriate lessons in a variety of areas, including Reading, Writing, Science, and Math. My cultural agility...
