Award-Winning Algebra Tutors serving Akron, OH

...have the student answer conceptual questions, with the ultimate intent of the student replicating the process on their own. To me, the most fulfilling moment of tutoring is reaching the "light bulb moment" that moment when everything clicks for the student, and they can see how their hard work has paid off. Outside of tutoring, in high school, I played the alto saxophone in the band and was captain of the debate team. In college,...

...focus on helping students understand the concepts beneath the problems, so as to facilitate learning rather than memorization. I strongly believe that every student is capable of reaching a strong level of understanding in any subject, given the correct tools, a teacher who can offer what they need, and some hard work. I am also available for standardized test prep. The SAT and ACT are one of the biggest hurdles in the college admissions process,...

...a doctoral degree in statistics at Bowling Green State University and am currently completing my dissertation. I have taught both college level algebra courses as well as Trigonometry at the college level. I have also taught entry level statistics and second semester statistics. I have tutored students at Youngstown state in Calculus I and II and statistics primarily. I have worked with several students preparing for SAT and ACT math with great success and enjoy...

...a Master's in English and a Bachelor's in English and Philosophy. I have worked in a variety of educational settings, serving developmentally and culturally diverse learners from the pre-K to the graduate level. Throughout my career as an educator, I have been responsible for developing and implementing curricula for these learners, upholding and modelling academic and professional standards, representing institutions of learning at conferences across the country, and participating in programming for both adults and...

...in their areas of difficulty and to move at a pace that is comfortable for them. And when they are ready for it, I like to challenge them a bit with interesting problems so that their knowledge of the subject matter really solidifies and they gain confidence in their understanding of it. Also, when introducing new formulas and equations, I try to help my students understand how they are derived; I believe that this knowledge...

I am a Computer Engineer Major at Cleveland State University. I am extremely strong in math and computer related subjects. I have managed to ace all these classes back in high school and still now in college. I look forward to help my students out, help them gain knowledge so that they not only ace a subject but also understand the subject.

...I loved to see when students grasp the material at hand. With my youngest of 4 currently in high school, I started tutoring again, first at Tri-C as a Science and Math Instructional Assistant and now as a Varsity Tutor as well. At Tri-C, I do more than just science and math though. Social Studies, Psychology, basic IT, and English are some of the other subjects I help students conquer. I firmly stand by the...

...and especially in my section of AP Calculus, I would tutor many of my peers. When I teach someone I think the most important thing is that he or she understands the material not just recognize a pattern of when to use what tools. I like to watch a student work through a problem, so I can see where they are having issues and then help them remove the "roadblocks" between them and the answer.

...as well as a professional tutor. I tutor several subjects at various grade levels. I love teaching English, phonics, reading, and writing and have worked at my university's Writing and Research Center for 2 years. I also really enjoy tutoring math across grade levels. I have successfully helped students improve SAT and ACT scores, achieve admittance into to provide grade and high schools, and improve grades in their classes. Honestly, I have always loved school...

...start a class very motivated and easily memorize ideas for a short time, but by next semester they have forgotten everything they learned. That is what I really would like to overcome, so I think students need to get very solid ideas which help them remember these concepts for the long term. I believe every student has great potential. It is my job to tap into that potential. Because I know how it feels to...

I graduated from the University of Akron with a degree in Middle Level Math and Language Arts (December 2018). I am certified to teach grade levels 4-9 in math/language arts. Right now I work full-time in a middle school with 7th and 8th graders. I look forward to working with students to build a solid foundation and grow them to be the exceptional students that they can be!

...a personal relationship and found that watching my student grow from session-to-session was one of the most rewarding feelings. Throughout the remainder of my high school years, I have continued tutoring middle school students, and I have worked with other high schoolers to help them in subjects such as math, science, and writing. I was both a peer tutor and a writing tutor, so I gained plenty of experience in teaching with various styles and...

...needs. Much of my free time is spent volunteering and playing an active role in my fraternity. I volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters Foundation, YMCA, as well as with smaller organizations and causes in and around Cleveland. In my fraternity I hold and have held several positions, primarily regarding event programming as well as membership development. I also enjoy traveling, with my most recent adventure being a semester abroad in Santiago Chile.... I believe that...

Hi there! My name is Amanda Tucker and I'm a organized Mathematics Teacher up-to-date on the latest developments in the Common Core curriculum and content-specific pedagogy. It is my desire to empower students to succeed and learn the skills necessary to become highly valued members of society. I believe that students should take an active role in the learning process and I am fully committed to providing support to students from all backgrounds.

...taking strategies and general plans for success in school that look forward to sharing with students. I like to view school work holistically - for example, if we're stuck on the geometry chapter focused on circles, let's make sure we fully understand the preceding topics before we dive into the new one. Also, if we're stuck writing a paper, let's make sure we did the necessary research, outline, and planning before we put pen to...

...Social Studies. I attend John Carroll University where I study as well as gain teaching/ tutoring experience through the Education program and weekly service through a group called We the People. It was in We the People that I truly developed my love for teaching and assisting kids. Likewise, I have a background in US Government/ Social Studies for Elementary and Middle School Ages. Furthermore, I would love to tutor social studies. In addition, I...

...School. I have previously tutored in my High School as well as in a nearby Middle school. I tutor SAT prep, and math prior to and including calculus, with SAT prep being my preference as it was very emphasized back when I was in middle and high school so I have the most exposure with it. I tend to be a very details oriented tutor with a tenancy to focus on the minutiae that needs...

...standardized tests as well as my broad undergraduate physics experience. It is my interests that keep me motivated, so I believe that it is important to make problems interesting or relevant to students, even if they do not consider themselves 'math people.' I value the humanities as well, and it is my experience as a guitar student and instructor that makes my approach to tutoring unique and valuable to students. My interests extend to philosophy...

...Whenever I show teenagers something cool about physics or math, they seem to enjoy the subject more now that they know how it works and they also do better in their classes which is a great feeling for me and beneficial for the students. This friendly but passionate tutoring style is what will make the session enjoyable by both parties but also result in better grades. I also love sports(especially soccer and basketball), reading, writing...
