Award-Winning Algebra Tutors in Castle Rock, CO

...to become involved in the forefront of renewable energy technologies. I have been putting my goals into action the last two years by interning at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory doing research in photovoltaic reliability. In high school and college, I have gained experience mentoring peers and helping them not only succeed, but enjoy their school work. I believe that for a student to have an effective learning experience, the tutor must not only be...

...new and interesting subjects. I recently received my bachelors degree in chemical engineering from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. In the fall of 2016, I will be pursuing my PhD in chemical engineering at the University of Colorado, Boulder.

...part-time at MSU Denver as a supplemental instruction leader for finite math in the business and social sciences area. Tutoring math is great because everything is clear cut and to the point. When things get difficult I like to teach using the socratic method, which basically means I like to ask questions that will help you figure out the problem. When I am not in school or tutoring I like to be outdoors, whether it's...

Throughout college and my two years as a math teacher, I found that there isn't one best teaching method. Instead, each student is unique and this reflects in their learning style. A good teacher will be able to change strategies to accommodate for differences in learning styles. I hope to be the best teacher that I can be by listening to my students and adjust my style of teaching to fit the student's needs.... I believe...

I did some tutoring in college, and then worked with a wide range of private clients as well as with another private tutoring company. I currently tutor Mathematics up to Algebra 1. I love...
