Award-Winning Algebra 2 Tutors in Houston, TX

...from conquering a difficult math concept by fully understanding it. My goal as a tutor is to let you feel the same way. I teach most types of math, but my favorite would probably be the calculus subjects because it contains concepts and mandates thinking that are unfamiliar to many. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy playing tennis and table tennis and am a member of my college ping pong team. I love to travel, and...

...am currently majoring in Honors Biomedical Sciences as part of the 3/4 BSMD medical program. I am outgoing and have natural creative and logical thinking capabilities which are best showcased in mathematical and scientific environments. I hope to one day be a plastic surgeon and contribute meaningfully to the field. I understand the frustration that comes with not understanding a subject and I wholeheartedly try to ease this tension by using laid-back methods of teaching...

I am a rising junior in college majoring in Economics, but I have a wide range of tutoring knowledge, and I would love to help you learn any of those topics!

...strengths. As a Linguistics major, much of my academic career focused on studying and understanding the nuances of English and French in both reading and writing, though I also have a strong foundation in mathematics, ranging from Algebra to AP Calculus AB. Additionally, my ACT score was 33 (99th percentile); I completed ACT tutoring courses as a high school student and am familiar with the strategies used to maximize scores. I will use Varsity's methods...

...graduate student Johns Hopkins University getting my masters in chemical and biomolecular engineering.

...sustainable design; cross-disciplinary work between the arts and sciences; building all sorts of knick-knacks with my hands; being outdoors; music exploration; and expression through writing. I have previously tutored math and science for K-12 students (and a little bit of SAT Writing) at GT Learning Academy in Sugar Land, TX. My teaching style is generally very visual (sometimes movement-based), but I believe in adapting teaching styles to accommodate a student’s needs and interests. I hope...

...them. Because of my Engineering major I have a background in chemistry and physics. My physics is pretty advanced do to the fact that I took multiple courses related to this subject, but overall my math is what I am best at. I tutored prior to this job one year for Kumon Learning Center, and also I tutored for the University of Houston for freshmen students. During the these tutoring jobs I focused on the...

...students to study the principles of learning and the latest discoveries of neuroscience that seem to be universal to all mammalian brains. Some of these techniques include mind-mapping, speed reading, the Feynman technique, bipolar learning curves, and many more proven ways to increase information processing, retention, and working memory. In addition to applying advanced study techniques, I am also a big advocate for integrating nutrition, exercise, and mindfulness into the learning process. Personally, I follow...

...adjust my teaching style to better suit their needs. I have learned that some students are visual learners, some learn better by reading through the assignment a few times, and others may use verbal communication to retain the material. Every student is different and I like to take that into account. Teaching is a passion for me, especially when I can help students understand concepts and become more confident in their talents. Whether it is...

...the SAT and a perfect score of 36 on the ACT in high school, and am currently self-studying for the MCAT using the same strategies I use to teach the SAT and ACT. I also am working on writing a textbook on Medical Professionalism and working in a cancer research lab at MD Anderson. In my free time I love to cycle and climb, and I love working with students of all ages.

...school has reminded me of how enabling a strong academic record can be. I've been tutoring since I was in high school and have worked with students at every level of education. I specialize in teaching from a very fundamental perspective and in building concepts from the ground up but also enjoy helping students to "just get done" with their homework. Though I'm particularly fond of math and science, I can provide assistance in almost...

...substituted in two school districts for a semester. Math oriented material has always been my favorite and is what I focus on. When it comes to learning math it's important to remember certain techniques and recognize when to use them. I like for students to tell me what they do understand and then guide them from there. Outside of studying, my top three hobbies are stand-up comedy, playing basketball, and playing chess.... I like to see...

...the material and also make sure the students understand confusing concepts. I have to be very patient and creative in my teaching. While this might frustrate some tutors, I fully enjoy my job as a tutor. Not only does it give me a sense of accomplishment when I have educated someone on a subject he or she previously did not understand, but it is also a good practice of patience and teaching styles I will...

...also love giving helpful hints and shortcuts on solving certain equations. I think that I am a very flexible person when it comes to my tutoring style.

I attended Texas State Honors Math Camp to advance my mathematical skills where I learned to collaborate and gained exposure to different ways of explaining and conceptualizing mathematical problems. I have also worked with teenagers as a residential camp counselor and as well as teaching a New York City Ballet dancer for an accelerated GED high school certification program. My vast international travel and academic background has enabled me to effectively adapt and...

I want to ensure that a difficult class will not discourage the students I tutor from continuing their education. Remember: Everyday is a new day to write a page in your...

...the same classrooms for this reason. I enjoy math and I understand the difficulties students have with putting together several concepts. I really enjoy chemistry too; I've had fewer opportunities to tutor chemistry because fewer students are willing to venture into what appears to them to be a difficult subject. I enjoy working with students of all ages, including adults that have returned to college. I am still getting to know Houston. I'm a busy...
