Award-Winning AP Calculus BC Tutors serving Memphis, TN

...tutoring is at the collegiate level, but I have tutored students as low as 5th grade to as high as graduate level. I tutor generally all secondary math classes and all freshmen and sophomore level math classes in college. I also tutor all financial accounting classes and many business classes. My favourite subjects to tutor are elementary/business calculus and algebra 2/college algebra, but I just love helping students be successful in their coursework.

Hi! My name is Ray Zhou and I'm a sophomore at Vanderbilt University.

...of high school that I encountered a transformative experience while tutoring a third-grade student with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Initially, my traditional communication methods fell short in engaging and aiding my student's learning. Recognizing the need for a different approach, I delved into research and discovered the importance of non-verbal communication and the use of visual aids for individuals with ASD. This experience taught me the importance of adaptability as an educator. Transitioning into the...

...have experience with tutoring less mathematically inclined subjects such as essay writing and SAT/ACT English and Reading Comprehension sections. My favorite subjects to tutor are statistics and calculus. My reasoning behind this is that when I first had these courses in high school and later in college, I was profoundly intimidated by them and felt that at any level beyond the in-class exams I needed to pass, they were, for me, completely incomprehensible. After graduating...

I like to explore new ways of doing things and being outside. I like to try to strike a good balance between learning, working, and enjoying time by myself, as well as with friends and family. I am very organized, but have a rather easy-going personality and...

While I have tutored a variety of subjects, such as math, economics, chemistry, finance, and linguistics, I now focus on tutoring math, primarily, since it is my passion. I have a very flexible tutoring style, and my approach strongly depends on each of my students' needs. The goal is for students to leave in a more calm, confident state than before. Outside of school, I spend much of my...

...like doing work! As a freshman in college, I also volunteered by teaching reading and math to underprivileged students through Each One Teach One. In college, I went on to be employed as an engineering tutor for over 50% of my high level mechanical engineering courses. I have been a teaching assistant for Circuits, Mechanics 3, and Heat Transfer courses. I am confident in classes such as Calc 3, Physics I, CAD hand drafting or...

...is more difficult to demonstrate phenomena from other subjects such as organic chemistry, physics is a very prevalent science, so even by rolling my pencil off of a table, I can easily demonstrate physics concepts to my students. For me, hearing "Oh, that makes so much more sense now!" from the students whom I tutor makes my job very rewarding because working with them to find the approach that best caters to their needs feels awesome....

...proof. I'm a scholar of the Western canon, greatly influenced by great thinkers and writers of the past such as Plato, Virgil, Aquinas, and Anselm. I love to read and to discuss what I've read, and I heartily appreciate a good philosophical argument. Extracurricularly, I write musicals, one of which premiered at Yale last year, and attend Yale Political Union meetings to debate the pros and cons of various fiscal and social policies until the...

...and physics almost every day of the week. I love sharing my knowledge of these topics with others and watching them improve. I work hard to make sure the students I work with fully understand the concept at hand. I believe I have a unique way of teaching that really helps students to understand the topic. If the student is not satisfied and still does not understand the material, I will not charge. I am...
