Award-Winning Algebra Tutors serving Glendale, AZ

...and commitment to success to each tutoring opportunity as I have to my high school classes for the last 24 years. I enjoy most sports and come from a background of coaching and playing sports from youth leagues to the collegiate level. I have had the opportunity to teach many student-athletes and enjoy working sports analogies into some of my teaching to help athletes understand the material from a little different perspective. My faith and...

...my experience helping struggling students I have found that the best way to learn is to have fun while you are learning and to make it apply to the real world. I am a firm supporter of education, and I believe that it can be fun and if I can kindle a love for learning, I will. In my spare time, I spend as much time outside playing with my two children and tending to...

...can be incredibly tedious, especially when there are a lot of students in a class. In these cases, your child could be struggling with a subject merely because it isn’t being taught to him/her in a way that is conducive with his/her learning style. This is where a tutor, particularly one capable of recognizing this need, comes in. In my free time I like to watch movies and read. I also enjoy drawing and painting....

...their classes. Initially, I found this difficult; it was a challenge determining exactly where a student's understanding of a topic was faulty. Over time, however, I developed a keener sense for the hurdles that students sometimes face when learning, as well as the most efficient ways to overcome them. I also developed more patience and empathy through tutoring - I often remembered feeling the same confusion about a topic that my students were feeling the...

...I can work towards explaining the material to the point where the student needs to be. I do this by clarifying the simple side of the concepts the student needs to learn and then working on increasing the difficulty. Every student is unique and will require that I explain these concepts differently; if a student learns by working through examples, verbal explanations, or learns through pictures, I can do that. At this phase, I believe...

...come to me for a single session or we meet every week for a semester, I believe the first step to success with tutoring is to work together to set clear expectations. This lets us work toward the same goal, and makes it simple to set milestones to get there. Any problem area in any subject can be broken into smaller and smaller pieces, until suddenly you realize there was never a problem to begin...

...created these connections rather than merely being told information. I do not believe in simply giving out answers. I believe that memorizing answers do not help the student learn and that it actually hurts their learning. In math especially, the topics build on each other and so a strong foundation is necessary to be successful. Aside from tutor-y stuff: I enjoy learning (coding, guitar, random trivial facts, etc), watching tv shows (such as 2 broke...

...4.0 in my Master's. Although I teach special education, I have a desire to help all students. I currently host after school tutoring on the 6th grade campus for which I work, and I enjoy working with general education students as much as I do with students who have special needs. I currently teach sixth grade, but when I am not teaching I enjoy playing tennis, reading, cooking, baking, hiking, and making jewelry.... I believe that...

...drives me when I tutor. Formulas and equations have their use and value, but the critical thinking that can be gained from the study of math is much more important. I have had success in showing students from where the formulas come and encouraging a deeper understanding of the topic at hand. I believe education in STEM related fields is vital in our society with the steep advancements in technology, and all STEM fields require...

...I have a great passion for teaching and mentoring, regardless of the subject. I grew up in poverty, but through hard work and the motivation of mentors and teachers, I overcame my circumstances. Because I myself know the cost of improving oneself and of overcoming one's circumstances, I expect nothing but hard work, determination, persistence, and a positive attitude. I'm not an unfair person. I don't expect for you to do all the work alone....

...beautiful cities and neighboring countries while learning about the language and culture. Although I have enjoyed my experience in the classroom immensely, I primarily enjoy working with students on a one-on-one basis. This gives me the opportunity to get to know them as individuals and really keep track of their progress. I view tutoring as more of an exchange than traditional teaching; I believe my students and I can work together to solve any problem....

...very excited on the first day of every semester to meet my new students! It is my goal to make all the material relevant and interesting. I want my students to be as excited as me to learn each and every class. While I currently teach college students professionally, I still really enjoy tutoring younger students. I have worked with students from kindergarten all the way to 12th grade, teaching math, computers, English, and Spanish....

In my spare time I enjoy reading books, biking, hiking , running and snow boarding. During my graduate program I liked volunteering at our college observatory and I still like to...

...I taught for Rio Salado Colleges for 17 years. I also worked for elementary schools as a teacher's aide. I generate enthusiasm in my methods of teaching. I am friendly and warm and my style is sincere and easy going. The students I undertake make major gains in their school assessments as I use different techniques in teaching so the child or adult understand the subject in an easy way. I truly love and enjoy...

...disabilities. For the last two years I have been working 20 hours a week with a 7 year old boy with severe Autism. Our time spent together ranges from jumping on the trampoline or going bowling, to working on school work and improving understanding of material, and even behavioral/habilitation therapy including sibling interaction, self calming techniques and expressing his everyday wants and needs. To me, receiving a quality education is the key to opening the...

...pursue my love of teaching and especially one on one tutoring. When I was growing up, I faced a lot of learning challenges, particularly with ADD, and as a result, for a long time I was extremely fed up with the education system. As I've worked through my hurdles, I've picked up a lot of tips and tricks and I now know how to deal with unique challenges in a standardized system. It would be...

I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Washington University with a degree in International Studies, and am looking forward to spending some time in Phoenix while I take time off before law school. I tutored for two years in college, and my specialties include lower level math, English, writing, and the LSAT. In my free time, you can usually find me either on Camelback mountain, reading a book, or during basketball season, cheering on the Phoenix Suns!

...science courses are my favorite to tutor, as I use them every day and find them very interesting. I tutor various levels of math, English, writing, and science, and like to let students contribute insight on the areas they need help with, and I provide feedback and knowledge from there. I believe that this increases student confidence and ability be self-sufficient and successful with the student's education. In addition to academics, I enjoy hiking and...
