Award-Winning Algebra Tutors in San Marcos, TX

...and Physics. I have a special passion for math and physics and I believe students only dislike it when is taught in too regimented a manner, as is often the case in schools. I'll help them truly grasp concepts and teach them the tips and tricks I have learned through the years. The excitement a student feels when they understand what they're doing (and not just following a set of steps) is what motivates me!

...best way possible, since each student is unique. I feel that building a professional relationship in which the student is fully comfortable with the tutor builds the best foundation for learning, and my philosophy supports mutual respect. I like to employ a back and forth of questions that triggers the student to learn intrinsically, leading to higher retention rather than merely providing the answers. My teaching philosophy also focuses on test taking strategies and reasoning...

A life-long mathematics educator and learner who thrives in an atmosphere of academic collaboration, investigation, discovery and enlightenment. I believe that all students can learn and grow intellectually. I firmly believe in the wonderful and hopeful word "yet"...as in, "I can't do this 'yet', but if I keep working and trying, I will be able to do it eventually!"... I would introduce myself and try to find some commonality between myself and the student. I would ask about learning style, strengths, and weaknesses regarding retention of new material. I would ask about fears and experiences that might be roadblocks to learning and discuss how we might allay these.

...love to tutor math as well as any science courses because they have a large quantity of information that needs to be digested, but once you get that light bulb moment it's something you'll never forget. In my personal tutoring style I like to approach problems from many different angles, as well as walk through each one step by step to ensure solid problem solving dynamics. My extracurricular activities include plenty of laboratory work, hardcore...

...students. I grew up in Chicago, but was born in Ukraine, so I speak Russian fluently. I also speak Spanish--I learned it in school and still use it to this day with my husband's family. Outside of work, I am married with a 3-year-old son. I am an avid reader, and I especially love fantasy, sci-fi, and mystery novels. I love to travel. I have been playing piano and singing all my life. I am...

...to private lessons for students my age. Other parts of my life include playing sports (tennis, soccer, ping pong, basketball), jamming on the piano, and doing extracurriculars at school. I believe the most effective teachers are not those who know the most, but those who motivate their students to want to know it all. I like to keep the student as engaged and focused as possible in the work. From my personal experiences in high...

...Applied Mathematics and Philosophy, while also pursuing pre-medical studies. In NYC, I gained a wide variety of teaching and tutoring experiences in classrooms, with private clients, and via community service work for non-profit organizations. Currently, I work at a middle school in Chicago teaching middle school math, as well as tutor for city clients. I am most passionate about math, but am comfortable working with students of all ages K-12 (and beyond!) in subjects including...

...Applied Mathematics from Tarleton State University. I have several years of experience in higher education. In my two years at Tarleton State University I have taught various levels of college algebra. I have also taught at ITT Technical Institute for two years, covering many electronics and programming classes. I enjoy helping students to see difficult subjects like mathematics and programming in a different light, making the material a little less scary and a lot more...

...math, physics, and writing experience. I recently applied and was accepted to many top-ten PhD programs for engineering because of academic merit and personal statement writing skills. I will be attending the University of Texas at Austin in the fall. I have tutoring experience in most math subjects through the National Honors Society and have been a teaching assistant in higher-level engineering courses such as thermodynamics, chemical processing, and lab courses. As a lab teaching...

...Science (Biology, Physics), Mathematics (Algebra, Algebra I), and English. I enjoy tutoring Math and Physics the most because I see it like a puzzle that needs to be solved. I don't have a standard way of teaching; I prefer to meet with the student and adapt my manner of teaching to what works best for them. When I'm not working, I enjoy reading books, and if there is a movie adaptation I'll happily watch it.
