Award-Winning AP Calculus BC Tutors serving Sacramento, CA

...teacher for 10 years; I love math and I love teaching! I totally get it: for most people, the end-goal of studying math isn't to become a mathematician or to fall deeply in love with division and derivatives. For most people, math is just a tool that they need to use (or study) to achieve a goal (becoming a doctor) or to accomplish a task (figuring out how much paint you need to paint that...

I am a future medical student and recent engineering graduate, and I look forward to working with students in math and science.... During a first session, I would talk with the student about their academic goals, and also discuss learning strategies that have worked well for them in the past.... I like to focus on big picture objectives. I believe it is more important to understand the foundations of a process and the overarching idea, rather...

...is important not just because of its endless application and its role as the foundation of the sciences, but because the problem solving strategies and intellectual tool set required in learning math are supremely advantageous to every field of academic and professional life. It is a pleasure to help young minds acquire these skills and very fulfilling to watch a student go from 'I don't understand, and I hate this' to 'I get this! and...

...from a mechanical engineering program on a full scholarship, I didn't always like math and science. It can take a lot of effort to "click" with these kinds of subjects, but once you do, it's a surprisingly rewarding experience. (Yes, I am a huge nerd now. See photo.) You just need to break down the problems, recognize patterns, and apply the concepts. So if you're just required to take a math course and you're sick...

...Arizona State University working towards my Actuarial Science degree. I have a strong passion for mathematics and am constantly reading material to increase my knowledge on the subject. Although my favorite subject is math, I also have experience tutoring in physical sciences like physics. I love tutoring because I like to teach kids to enjoy these subjects as much as I do. I have experience tutoring for standardized tests and exams like APs and SATs,...

...always easy for me. The lessons I learned and experiences I've had helped me how to relate to someone that is struggling in school. I have tutored various subjects from high school math, calculus, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and psychology. The most success I've had with my students is to create as relax atmosphere with a bit of humor. My goal is to work with you to discover what your strengths and weaknesses are. We will...

...with Math and the Sciences. Although not particularly applicable to tutoring, I also have two California licenses regarding Real Estate; a Real Estate Salesperson License, and a Real Estate Trainee Appraiser License. I largely believe in the "Renaissance Man", and that a broad education creates well-rounded people who are able to tackle anything in life. During my free time, I enjoy reading fantasy novels, and playing various kinds of games, such as board games, card...

...physics major and have plenty of experience working with children between being a tutor and having worked in childcare. I love both learning and teaching so I am very excited for these tutoring opportunities! My philosophy has a lot to do with bringing the subject matter to life for the student and making sure they gain enthusiasm and confidence with the subject as they learn and work through the material. The specific needs for every...

...be interactive, where I can ask the students questions and they can ask me questions, seems to intellectually stimulate students far more than if I were just talking to them. Outside of academia, I enjoy exercise, training jiu jitsu and muay thai, reading, listening to music, and spending time with my family. As of late, my reading mostly consists of Christian theology (Thomas Aquinas and the various Ancient Church Fathers) and 20th century history.

...subject matter. I believe that learning is, and ought to be, for its own sake. Math and philosophy, and their nuanced interactions, are my great passions. I've run more 5ks and 10ks than I can count, but the validation of completing a long race is nothing like the satisfying moment of writing "Q.E.D." on a difficult proof. I'm a scholar of the Western canon, greatly influenced by great thinkers and writers of the past such...

Providing guidance in science and mathematics to help students understand the real-world applications of scientific and mathematical concepts in their everyday lives. I have a B.S.E. in Aerospace Engineering and a B.S. in Sustainable Energy Materials and Technology, and I am pursuing my M.S. in Aerospace Engineering.... Learning science and mathematics through real-world applications that show how concepts can actually be used to solve real problems.... I'd ask them about topics they feel uncomfortable with, as...

I love to teach. I love young minds and fresh brains. Those are just like clean sheets of papers I can draw anything I like. I really like to help young people to achieve their full capacities with my long experience of teaching. I am very patient and good at explaining complex concepts in simple terms. I am looking forward to meeting students who need my help.

...300 math and statistics courses I then worked over ten years as a professional statistician for companies such as Capital One, Wells Fargo and GE I have extensive experience tutoring one-on-one, teaching in the academic world and applying mathematics and statistics in the real world. I know the theory and I know the applications. My passion is improving the life of my students by teaching them the thinking and problems solving skills that will enable...

...a better grasp of difficult concepts. 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...

...that tutoring is an extension of the teaching process, and that as such my job as a tutor is to give my students the skills they need not only to solve the particular problems they bring to me, but also to fully understand the subjects they are studying, and to understand the techniques behind the solutions to their problems. In particular, this means that my tutoring style is very student-involved: I will always begin a...

...go. The fact of the matter is unless a student has always struggled in mathematics since kindergarten, they can achieve a perfect or near perfect score on the SAT/ACT mathematics section. The only traits that are required are a high level of expectations as well as the desire and effort to achieve those expectations. When it comes to solving problems, I will always ask the student on how they would solve a particular problem. Their...

...the fundamental concepts. I also tutor science and test prep, especially chemistry and the ACT. Outside of tutoring, I like to play golf. My teaching philosophy is to prepare students to be independent learners by guiding them through the steps that comprise the problem using common-sense questions and building upon their existing knowledge. Students can remember individual methods for the upcoming test, but they will forget them later. Problem-solving skills can last a lifetime and...

Also while in high school, I worked as a teacher assistant in a local religious school where I helped run classrooms for 3rd, 5th, and 8th graders. As a teacher assistant I tutored the quartile of students struggling most in reading and worked...

...University of Utah with a bachelors degree in math, and I spent the majority of my four years there working in the math tutoring center. I loved being able to work one-on-one with students and see their growth as they started to understand the material. I strongly believe that understanding concepts is just as important as being able to work out technical problems, and that all students (regardless of perceived mathematical intelligence) have the ability...

...classes and consistently performed well in them. Due to this, oftentimes I saw myself tutoring my classmates and helping them with their assignments. That is when I realized the only thing I loved more than learning was teaching. I absolutely love helping my students achieve their goals and seeing their eyes light up as they succeed. I pursued my passion for tutoring at my local library by teaching both middle school and high school students in...
