Award-Winning Algebra Tutors serving Everett, WA

I'm a PhD student in Bioengineering at the University of Washington, I recently graduated from Johns Hopkins University studying Biology with a minor in Spanish. I'm very interested in all things math and science and also tutor in Spanish and with the ACT. I live in San Francisco and would love to help out with anything of that sort. In my free time, I enjoy spending time outside, fishing, kayaking, and playing many different sports.

...teacher. My strongest subjects are algebra and calculus. I enjoy helping people learn and grow, and over my time teaching I found I got the most enjoyment (and was also the most effective) in smaller group and one-on-one sessions. I try to teach through Socratic questioning and encouraging autonomy in my students, as independence is a crucial step to true understanding of subject material. I also try to teach concepts rather than questions, as being...

...of academic topics. I love working one-on-one with students because it allows me to find creative ways to help them master new concepts. My teaching style is all about helping students problem solve so that the end result is not only a better grasp of a subject but also a stronger sense of self-empowerment anytime they tackle something new. I grew up in Lake Tahoe, CA, where my winters were spent in skis and my...

...a math tutor, in particular, is that I have first hand experience with many of the applications of mathematics, i.e. to Astronomy, Physics, Economics, and even to "soft" sciences like Psychology through Statistics. Getting students to understand the broader picture of why math is important has proven to be very effective in providing positive motivation for learning math. Math and science aside, I'm interested in health, nutrition, economics, psychology, philosophy, and music. I read 1...

...because of those struggles. Therefore, my teaching philosophy is centered around the idea that there are no bad questions because to be taught and to ask for help are inherently acts of courage. I'm willing to work with a student through their frustration and intend, through the process of tutoring, to make validation, the cultivation of genuine interest in a subject, and importantly, fun, focal points of the process. In my spare time, I enjoy...

I believe that the best way to teach is by connecting my student's interests to the study topic so that they become invested...

...I'm passionate about helping learners build strong foundations and gain confidence in technical subjects. During my time at UW, I served as a teaching assistant for the introductory computer science course (CSE 160) over six quarters. I've worked with students from a wide range of backgrounds and skill levels, and I always aim to make complex ideas approachable and engaging. Whether it's breaking down a tough programming concept or helping with high school algebra, I...

I especially enjoy tutoring Pre-Algebra and Calculus as I feel that if I can help build the proper foundation, I can help a student have a strong future in math. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, yoga, and planning events for some of...

I have worked with college students and older adults in English Language Learning classrooms for a year. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English as a Foreign Language, and Spanish. I value student input and give them the opportunity to participate, as I believe that the most learning happens when students are...

I aim to make learning math and science not only effective but enjoyable. By using a variety of resources and personalized lesson plans, I ensure that each student progresses at their own pace while staying motivated and engaged. Whether preparing for exams, working through assignments, or exploring topics in more depth, I am committed...

...sophomore. The approach required for these two "students" was drastically different, exemplifying the need to tailor teaching methods to the strengths and needs of the student. In addition to working with my own children, I have also recently tutored a number of college students and volunteered extensively in my local school district. My degree was received from the University of Minnesota, Institute of Technology, where I graduated magna cum laude with a B.S. in Mathematics....

...teacher with 6 years of classroom teaching experience. I taught AP Chemistry and Chemistry for the last 3 years, and taught middle school science and 9th grade science before that. I love engaging in science and examining the world around me. As a teacher, I enjoyed working with students one-on-one and seeing their eyes light up when they had that "A-ha!" moment. I left teaching in search of a more flexible schedule. I am eager...

...asset to your educational process. I have been in the school system in one capacity or another for the past 23 years, and I am confident that I can provide a positive environment for students to grow and progress.

Please consider me your resource;...

I am a chemical engineer. I enjoy discussing math, science, and computer programming. My favorite subjects are math and computer programming. I use these frequently in my own life. My approach to tutoring is to guide students to answers rather than information-dumping.

...the same subjects, along with Physics and Statistics. At both locations I worked in a tutoring center, so I have experience working with many different students with many different learning styles. As a tutor at Western, I was awarded Level 1 Certification by the College Reading and Learning Association.

...experience not only exposed me to a variety of learning styles, but it reinforced my respect for the tremendous responsibility that we as educators have to students.

Education is a self-motivated endeavor - it not only improves ones quality of life, it literally rewires the way your brain views our world and the results are remarkable....

...of people of all different ages, backgrounds, and interests. I learned to be flexible in my teaching strategies, shifting focus and tailoring my talk for each group that I got to talk to. I got to make learning fun and exciting. I loved the look on a kid’s face when they learned something new. Later throughout my undergrad I got several other opportunities in education as an interpreter at the Burke Museum and as a...

...and confident by my peers and professors. Furthermore, while working on extracurricular projects, I have developed proven necessary skills and relevant science background to perform above expectations. Previously, I worked as an ESLA and science tutor during my sophomore year in college, so I am confident with my communication and teaching ability. I am also able to speak, read, and write Vietnamese fluently as this is my native language. I hope I will have opportunities...

...nor have I ever been. I have been taught by wonderful teachers, and terrible teachers, and feel as though, given the chance, I could fit in somewhere in between, closer to the former than the latter. In school I loved and excelled at English and Drama, and since have developed a passion for Film theory. I'd love the chance to aid you in your learning, and can promise I'd give all of my commitment to...
