Award-Winning Algebra Tutors serving Montgomery County, PA

...willingness to try. Therefore, I will regularly solicit feedback, encourage questions, and assess what methods work best for you so that I can adjust my approach accordingly. Having tutored students since high school, I firmly believe that learning and education can be life-changing when we are curious, determined, and willing to make mistakes. When I am not tutoring or working in healthcare, I enjoy playing guitar, singing in a community choir, and watching college basketball.

...ranging from the collegiate to post-graduate level. I have highlighted some of these experiences in the following paragraph. During my undergraduate years, I worked as a TA in both the "Introduction to Biology" and "Biochemistry" courses, where I was responsible for both private and group tutoring. While earning my doctorate in Medical School, I employed myself as an MCAT tutor, providing educational tutoring as well as test-taking and time-management skills coaching. As a medical intern,...

...the application process was very new and overwhelming. Through countless research and helping younger students, I am confident in my knowledge of the application process and my ability to help formulate strong essays and applications. As an engineering student, I am constantly learning new math and science topics and know how frustrating it can be to not understand them. I hope my knowledge can help alleviate or avoid this frustration for other students.

...level in the subject, I will usually work out an example for them, asking questions along the way, and then prompt them to work one out themselves. Sometimes for physics problems, what can be most helpful for students is to talk through the situation presented in the problem and describe, verbally, concepts such as energy transfer and forces, for example, to help them understand what we are concerned with in the particular problem. Outside of...

...my time at Bryn Mawr I tutored students who were struggling in the basic sciences (physics, biology, chemistry and organic chemistry). I've also spent a great deal of time working with children of all ages. From my time spent as a canoeing instructor for 9-14 year old boys in Belgrade Lakes, ME to my medical school pediatrics rotations, I'm very comfortable working with people of any age (newborn through adulthood). I'm a big baseball fan,...

...punk originally from the Pacific Northwest. I came to Philly 4 years ago to experience a brand new scene, one I'd only heard was rough around the edges but filled with soul. Since then I've fallen in love with the city and hope to embody the genuine and organically fiery spirit instilled in the people here. Wherever I am though I'll always retain the subdued spirit of the forests, mountains, and water of the Pacific...

College student driven to help other students excel academically. I personally like teaching through real world examples and through doing practice problems to gain understanding.... I typically teach by offering examples to gain understanding. I also enjoy offering additional problems to work through so that the student feels completely comfortable with the coursework.

...more abstract (for example, using the analogy of water slides to explain flow dynamics in physics or using different color Skittles to explain mitosis/meiosis in biology). Also, especially for tests like the MCAT, I can talk about the actual test – what to expect on test day, any preparations to make going into the test, what to do the day before the test. I am a huge sports fan, and in my spare time, I...

I recently graduated from NYU's Stern School of Business and had a great time helping prospective students on the GMAT. I scored extremely high through self-guided study and found I learned fun ways to teach some of the tougher concepts. I believe in making the session fun and student-driven - but also quickly finding any underlining problems with comprehension and addressing them.

...I helped reinforce the lessons taught. My favorite subjects to tutor are Math and Science. I thoroughly enjoy the complexities of piecing information together in order to solve Math problems and their applications in Science. I love sharing this enjoyment with other students. While tutoring, I like to have the student tell me what they already know about the problem and then I explain the basic ideas involved. With this foundation, students can then try...

...deep and wonderful truth. Math is something to be enjoyed. I believe that while knowing the formulas and procedures is important, memorizing mathematical formulas without appreciating the concepts is akin to memorizing the lines of a Shakespeare play without paying attention to the underlying prose. My strongest subjects are linear algebra and pre-calculus though I am proficient at tutoring all high school and college underclassmen mathematical subjects. I hope that my passion is contagious and...

I am looking to help students understand and learn whatever materials they are having trouble with. I have tutored for roughly 2 years while I was in high school. I'm currently in my third year of studying Biomedical Engineering at Drexel University. I would like to aid students in any way possible.... I teach students through examples and problem solving.... I would ask the student to go over what topics he/she needs help on. I would...

...my Masters in Education with a Reading Specialist Certification from Cabrini College. I am certified in Middle Years Mathematics and English as a Second Language (ESL) as well. I have been tutoring for about 4 years and have tutored from Pre-K to fourth grade. I tutor a broad range of subjects, but am most passionate about Reading, Phonics, and Mathematics. I strongly believe in a hands-on approach to teaching and learning. I also think it...

...I also have a strong background in Mathematics and have tutored several students as high as Algebra II. The reason I love tutoring is that I can individualize the learning for each person I tutor based on their needs and strengths. I do this by finding out how the people I am tutoring learn best and use that information to tailor the tutoring sessions to their strengths. At the same time, I will help them...

...loves all people regardless race, color and creed, the same way I want to help people, therefore I love to work with people and help them to achieve their goals. It is my intention to guide you to understand, learn and improve your skills in the areas you need assistance. My students are very important for me and it is my priority to make sure they understand what I teach and they can learn. My...

...joy in teaching for me is watching a student succeed at their goal whether it is getting a good grade in class or passing a dreaded test separating you from your next level of schooling. I focus on motivating and adapting to each individual students strengths and weaknesses. I hope to tailor my skills to suit you in the best way possible. I believe that self-confidence and thorough preparation ensure success with any subject. In...

...school students. I have taught students of varying ages, education levels, and socioeconomic backgrounds over the years, which I believe has helped me grow as an tutor. Given that this is a service industry, my number one goal is to see my students improve. Tutoring is a give-and-take process, and as such I encourage my students to give me feedback regarding my methods, pace, or level of difficulty. I look to challenge my students, but...

Hi! I'm a graduate in Physics/CS at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign! I've gone through the education system and helped countless number of students already, so I know exactly where many of the faults are in different subjects and where tons of students tend to be weak.

...which I believe are fundamental in the process of "learning how to learn". My personal values are as follows; - Hard Work - Caring - Integrity - Do the Right Thing - Do Things Right - Teamwork - Gratitude My goal is to nurture a partnership with students. Learning is a collaborative effort. Students need someone to work with as opposed to someone to work for, and I strive to provide that service to them.

...have experience tutoring other subjects. I also have done SAT prep for the mathematics section of the New SAT and am very familiar with the recent changes to the exam. My belief is that everyone is capable of learning with enough time, explanation, and practice, and I hope to pass this on to all the students I work with. For this reason, I believe in teaching students how to think and problem solve, rather than...
