Award-Winning ACT Math Tutors in Washington

...approach is to work with the student to first understand the problem and then to logically think through the process of solving it, thereby more fully learning the material. I am a big fan of drawing graphs and figures to understand a problem. In addition to working with numbers, I love the outdoors and enjoy backpacking, hiking, and Ultimate Frisbee. I am also a dork who indulges in jigsaw puzzles, sci-fi/fantasy literature, and card games.

...something else, creating a more complete picture. It's therefore always important to have a solid grasp of 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...

...explain every concept in straightforward and totally plain language to describe the relationships between all of the moving parts in math and science subjects. I use familiar analogies as needed to paint a picture of the models students should imagine to successfully solve problems and wrap their heads around the concepts. After learning with me, you will be able to navigate any problem because you will know the subject backwards and forwards, from the ground...

...Edward's. In my senior year I picked up another tutoring job working with an after school program that provided TAKS prep for middle and high school students. Through my education and experiences I've developed the ability to tutor a larger variety of subjects. During this time, I also discovered the importance of finding a student's learning style and tailoring all lessons to match their needs as well as include tips that will help students with...

...worked as a classroom tutor in various Los Angeles high schools, tutoring a variety of subjects ranging from English to Physics. Of the subjects I taught, my favorite is definitely Math, and Algebra in particular. Because many students struggle with Algebra, I find it satisfying to help students understand concepts and build their foundation of knowledge. Working in classrooms was great, but I am excited to be able to work one-on-one with students and build...

...next few years. Tutoring is a wonderful step into my future career as an educator. I love getting to know my students and their learning styles. While I enjoy helping students feel more at ease with many types of Mathematics, my favorite areas are Calculus and Finite Mathematics. In my opinion the key to being a successful tutor is being able to explain the material in multiple ways, thus finding the path that best suits...

I am recent graduate of the University of Notre Dame with a passion for education and experience in multiple teaching arrangements as both a student and an instructor (such as Oxford tutorials, Goethe Institute German language classes, seminars, and standard tutoring). I have a background in working with children in after school programs and camp counseling and want to share my energy for learning in a professional environment.... A successful education starts with the right motivation. I aim to uncover that motivation through asking what students hope to achieve and placing those goals at the start of the learning process. If students have a strong sense of "why" they want to learn, "how" to learn becomes a matter of clear communication, diligence, and effort on part of both the teacher and the student.

...school in summer, 2013. I'm spending my time in DC as an intern in the health policy and advocacy field and I'm looking forward to helping lots of students meet their academic goals! I have experience tutoring at all levels, from elementary school through college, and in a wide variety of subjects, from biology and math to reading and writing. I'm relaxed and fun but also efficient and organized. I believe that every student is...

...dedicated to improving financial literacy in the school's immediate area. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Math and Standardized Tests. In my experience of helping struggling students to prepare for these subjects, we are able to make seemingly boring subjects interesting and find ways to show their practical importance. I particularly enjoy working on the Essay portion of the SAT and ACT because it's relatively fun and easy...

...and second year university students in algebra, functions, and statistics and probability, taught music at a beginner level (cello, saxophone, piano, violin, viola), played as a professional cellist for about 5 years, and worked as an EMT for football, basketball, and track at a high school. I am available for tutoring very flexibly- please contact me whenever and I will get back to you ASAP! I also have an interactive tablet that allows you to...
