Award-Winning ACT Science Tutors serving Minneapolis, MN

I will be a junior Science-Business major at the University of Notre Dame and hope to attend medical school after graduation. I have been tutoring math for a few years now and absolutely love it. Outside of academics, I am very interested in sports, exercising, and spending time with my family and friends. I also love speaking Spanish and hope to incorporate that into my future career.

Hello! My name is Bernice, and I am very excited to tutor students in Biology (molecular and cellular) at various stages: from middle school to upper-level college courses. I love tutoring because it allows me to stay current on concepts and challenges me to truly understand the material. I also love the feeling of seeing students light up when they understand a concept for the first time.... I like to employ a discussion-based model. I place...

...between student and tutor. I like to really get to know a student so I can learn how to help him or her best. It is important to me that a student is able to enjoy his or her work. That will make learning more fun, and it will make the student more successful. I am so excited for the opportunity to tutor your child! I look forward to helping him or her achieve and...

I strive to help you become the best student possible. I'm currently studying Environmental Engineering at Stanford University. I've spent years abroad in China and Costa Rica and am fluent in Spanish and have intermediate/high Mandarin skills. I'm an IB (International Baccalaureate) diploma graduate.

I currently am a Wilderness Emergency Medical Technician. I love the theater, being outdoors - backpacking, kayaking, and nordic...

...Students at UF. My main motivation for tutoring is simply that I love physics and math, and find them immensely beautiful. I want to share that love and illustrate concepts visually and intuitively rather than through mechanical computation. There's a quote I can't track down along the lines of "Do not attempt a proof until it is almost obvious" which guides my teaching philosophy. Outside of tutoring, I play classical piano, have worked in book...

I enjoy teaching math because to the student who doesn't understand, it is a riddle with no answer. By teaching them how to recognize the type of problem and how to decode the clues, the student gets to be on the other side of the riddle, the side on which they solve it and feel good about it.

I'm a St. Paul editor with experience with both teaching and standardized testing.

Hello! my name is Khuaten Maaneb de Macedo. I grew up in Madison Wisconsin (yes I do love cheese!) and have been living in Minneapolis for the past 2 years. I graduated from Carleton College in 2016 with a BA in biology.

A good tutor is someone who understands your learning needs and desires, and adapts their teaching style to meet those needs. Learning should be an interactive process, with the tutor and the one being tutored offering equal conversation and interacting in meaningful ways together. The best tutors are able to balance the need for specific content mastery and the desire to instill a love for learning as a general concept.

...at both university and secondary levels. I have a natural talent for seeing subjects from the point of view of the student; I am not stuck in my own expertise. I am committed to finding effective strategies for facilitating understanding for each student, rather than just process. Special notes for Competition Math: I placed first in the Twin Cities (St. Paul / Minneapolis, MN) HS league twice, with one time being a tie. I qualified...

...motivate students and give them confidence to tackle the next subject, and promote a deeper understanding of the subject matter that often doesn't occur in class. In a lot of ways, tutoring is a healthy challenge for both the student and the tutor -- my challenge is to figure out how a student learns and help them reach those "aha" moments. Math is challenging for a lot of students. Since math skills build on themselves...
