Award-Winning Algebra Tutors in Bellevue, WA

...for nine years, and I love what I do. The best part of my day is when my students are experiencing success and confidence in their math skills. I've taught Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Precalculus, and Calculus. Trigonometry has always been a solid part of my Algebra 2 and Precalculus classes. Many students have said they understand math after I've explained it. My goal is to help my students reach their goals.

...understand key concepts, homework practice problems, exams, and lab write-ups. My experience tutoring a diverse group of Chemistry students allows me to know where the difficulties lie, where students typically fall behind, and the pitfalls that creep up on exams. My tutoring style deconstructs concepts in a way that students can personally relate to, and by using visual analogies, I demystify the math between the atoms while not reinforcing memorization like many instructors. Because of...

...I have taught graduate level classes at the University of Washington. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I really enjoy tutoring math and science. I am a mentor for a girls' after school STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) program, and I am a mentor for a high school science outreach program. As a tutor, I provide students with the tools and information they need to do their work as independently as possible....

...I have also tutored high school students in Physics, and both high school and middle school students in Latin. Most recently, I mentored students in a summer program that introduced them to the world of research, specifically to the field of solar physics. One reason that I love physics is that no one understands everything about the subject right away. It’s a complicated science, and we all need help grasping some of its more difficult...

...be beginning law school, though where is still to be determined. I have been tutoring both formally and informally for years: as an undergraduate I was a volunteer with Seattle Children's Literacy Project for two years, where I worked with elementary age children to improve both their reading and math skills; I worked with many of my peers and classmates who were struggling with writing extended academic papers; and also as a tutor in introductory...

...also realized how fun it is to teach math and how rewarding it is to watch a student grow in their understanding. From there, I continued to tutor privately. While in grad school, I also got the opportunity to be a teaching assistant. My approach to teaching is to work through examples with the student, guiding them along the way with questions meant to help them think about the problem and come to their own...

...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 my free time, I snowboard, read, cook, hike, watch movies and TV, and play with...

...have been teaching for almost two years, and have been working with elementary aged children for over eight years. As an elementary school teacher I know the skills and tools children need to be successful. I have experience working with every grade level, as well as students who are learning English and students receiving special education services. Lastly, I truly believe in teaching children skills they need to not only be successful in school, but...

...Master of the Arts in Teaching degree from the University of Portland which licensed me to teach at the secondary level. I now study Type I Diabetes in a research laboratory in Seattle, Washington, and I plan to use this experience to pursue a Ph.D. in cognitive neuroscience (the study of how we form and access memories). My interest in neuroscience fuels my philosophy of education. I think all students have a profound capacity to...

...most subjects, I feel most passionate about English, Literature, and History. I believe in a student driven approach to teaching that adapts and adjusts to different learning styles and personal traits in order to best serve my student's needs. Learning is a lifelong process and should be encouraged and nurtured across all aspects of our daily lives and personal interactions. When I'm not tutoring, you might find me on a local trail or beach with...
