Award-Winning Algebra 2 Tutors serving Tacoma, WA

...for academics. I find joy in helping others reach their ACT/SAT goal(s). Having tutored ACT and SAT prep full time for going on 5 years, I can efficiently assess a student's strengths and weaknesses, develop a personalized tutoring plan, communicate strategies to better approach the test, teach concepts, and guide students to success. Adaptation to a student's needs is the key to success for both student and tutor. I have ample experience working with students...

...and communication skills to a career in law or public policy. While attending university, I spent my free time finding ways to positively impact and further educate my community through my involvement as a campus tour guide, writing tutor, sexual assault counselor, and Greek life leader. I love traveling and have visited over 25 different countries and am particularly interested in the ways that writing and culture have symbiotically shaped human history. As a college...

...and eventually success. Science is my favorite subject, sounds broad but it is true, I have honestly enjoyed all my science classes. From general biology, to genetics, from ecology, to biostatistics, I like it all. Science is amazing because it is so experimental and complex, but once understood truly fascinating and question-inducing. Math and analytical writing are a close second and third. Math, in my opinion, is great because (with a few exceptions) there are...

...Nova High School helping out with a biology class as well as tutoring math on occasion. I even got to plan and teach my own lesson on mass extinctions taking what I learned from observing the teacher teach over the last couple months and implementing my own style as well. My volunteer experience is a continuation of my four years at the Woodland Park Zoo. I taught visitors about the various animals on exhibit and...

...as possible. I always try to be the second type. My goal is that every student will get a 100% on every test. I taught economics and statistics at the college and university level for twenty years. I then moved to the US Department of the Treasury, where I mentored research scientists and worked with them to get their work published. I retired about five years ago. Now I try to ski as much as...

I am a current senior in college studying Statistics and Oceanography. I have plenty of experience in the math and science world and have tutored several students from middle school age to college freshmen. I'm looking forward to working with everyone!

...creative problem solving pioneered by the international design firm IDEO. While typically used in startups to develop new innovations, I've found it extremely handy in tutoring. Every student is different and so are their difficulties, so a finite set of ways to present a concept or tackle a difficulty is potentially limiting. In my experience, it's much more effective to use an adaptive framework like design thinking to identify the root of students' issues and...

...B.S. in Earth and Space Sciences in Summer 2020. As implied by my degree, I enjoy learning and teaching within the STEM field! I tutor in subjects such as geology, environmental sciences, middle school math, algebra, and high school chemistry. I love to tutor in these subjects for two reasons: they were my favorite subjects to learn growing up and the material can be challenging at times. But not to worry! There are little tricks...

...helping people figure out difficult concepts or getting that lightbulb moment. I think the best way to learn is to find ways that the concept relates to you or can visualize. Mistakes are always part of the ;earning process are opportunities to grow from and never be scared of. Since I have also taken MCAT it is something that I can confidently help others succeed on. In my free time I love to read, hike,...

...student, I am able to use my experience to offer assistance with math. I am also able to tutor in chemistry since I have already completed the general chemistry series. I believe that education is extremely important in life, not only for the purpose of knowledge, but also for the determination and ambition that learning teaches us. Understanding concepts not only takes time, but also dedication. As a student who has also attended many tutoring...

...math for nine years, and I love what I do. The best part of my day is when my students are experiencing success and confidence in their math skills. I've taught Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Precalculus, and Calculus. Trigonometry has always been a solid part of my Algebra 2 and Precalculus classes. Many students have said they understand math after I've explained it. My goal is to help my students reach their goals.

...my studies in a research lab after I graduate. As much as I love chemistry, it is nice to take a break from memorizing structures and pathways which is why I enjoy tutoring math! I have always loved math, and calculus was by far one of my favorite subjects in college. There is no better feeling than solving a complicated integral or finishing a page of calculations and getting the correct answer. I feel I...

...Bill Nye show. I majored in Neuroscience and Behavior in college, so I learned a lot about Biology and Psychology, and I plan on getting a Master's in Bioengineering. I spent two years serving with the Peace Corps in Peru, where I learned to speak Spanish, build stoves out of adobe, and a lot about life in rural communities. In my spare time I enjoy playing harp and guitar, learning new languages, and being outdoors.

...public school system, so math and I have become close friends! In my teaching and tutoring, I love using question strategies to help learn where my students are at in their math skills and to help them to continue to grow in them. Hopefully with me as your tutor, you will learn to like (or dislike) math a little more than you do now! When I am not working with students, I love to bake,...

I'm excited to teach and learn alongside students!

I spent a year working as a wilderness therapy field guide, helping students achieve a breakthrough in their personal lives in a backpacking setting in central Oregon. And I was an instructor at an outdoor school in southern California for a year, teaching science, leadership, and...

...reputation of being not fun. When students learn how to harness a difficult concept, questions are answered and new ones are discovered. I have studied motivation in educational contexts and have held various teaching/mentoring roles. Having graduated 1st in my class with a Masters degree, I know what it takes to succeed in academic settings. It is effort, not innate ability, that makes people excel. I try to put forth this effort and learn in...

...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 summers were spent in swimsuits. I also enjoy hiking, soccer, and just about anything else that involves being outside. I'm a recent transplant from California,...

...ranging from grant proposals to senior theses. I also was a tutor with Willamette University's Academic Support Center. I worked individually with several students over the course of each semester, helping them develop study habits, identify their challenges, and meet their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Writing, Economics, and Mathematics. I am a firm proponent of a growth mindset in education, believing it to be...
