Award-Winning AP Calculus BC Tutors serving Tacoma, WA

...and create a welcoming environment where students aren't afraid to ask questions. Math is my favorite subject to tutor because it builds confidence through practice and pattern recognition. I love breaking down complex ideas into simple steps and finding different ways to explain concepts until something "clicks." I also enjoy helping younger students build foundational reading and vocabulary skills, especially those navigating English as a second language. My teaching style is flexible and student-centered. I...

I have a Bachelor's of Science and Master's of Science in chemical engineering from the University of Wyoming. While I was getting my Bachelor's degree, I tutored athletes in general chemistry, organic chemistry, college algebra, calculus I, physics, and thermodynamics. I love helping students gain confidence.

...have been tutoring children with special needs since I was 16 and have experience teaching abstract mathematical concepts using concrete examples. I also currently tutor statistics and mathematics to college students here at Carleton. I believe that all students are capable of learning and try to cater my instruction to the learning styles of my students. When doing math, it is easy to get discouraged and feel like we will never understand something. In reality,...

...a minor in Mathematics. I am taking a gap year before attending graduate school at Rutgers University for Astrophysics, and in the meantime, I am tutoring and working on various academic projects. I have been tutoring math, physics, and astronomy for 3 years. My approach is to help individual comprehension rather than rote memorization. I'm interested in a lot of things outside of just tutoring! I enjoy bouldering, playing the guitar, programming, and hiking with...

As an engineering student, I am very familiar with high level math, physics, chemistry, and other STEM courses, as well as English, writing, and public speaking. I can use teaching methods demonstrated by my professors to teach others. In high school, I tutored younger students in Latin, using techniques like flashcards and quizzes.

...ever since. I knew I enjoyed tutoring the first time a student had a "light-bulb" moment where everything we had discussed and they were working on came together. Since starting to tutor I have had experience tutoring individuals as well as groups (10-15 people). The subjects that I currently tutor are algebra, calculus, and statistics. Of these subjects I enjoy statistics the most though, both tutoring and learning, because of how applicable to the world...

...joined the aerospace industry, where I worked on a number of space-based electro-optical and laser systems. I taught High School Math for five years after my retirement. I also have tutored all levels of Math to over 250 students in Middle school, High School, and College. I have found that students do better when I keep my sessions on an engaging, light and informal level. I try to generate a real understanding and appreciation for...

...In high school, I participated in the International Baccalaureate program and earned an IB Diploma. I tutor students in math and science, anything from elementary school levels to advanced high school courses. In the past, I've worked primarily with high school peers, but I get along well with students of all ages. I hope to make tutoring fun and engaging. I'm laidback and like to have a good time, but I also know the importance...

...have tutored many different students with different learning styles and different attitudes towards the subject. I am very personable and dedicated and in the end I just want the student to have a good time understanding a subject that can be very fun! I go above and beyond to make sure my students understand the material and have a successful tutoring experience. In my free time I like being active and reading or watching sports...

...in Cognitive Neuroscience and Chinese Studies. I also conduct research in inorganic chemistry with focus in photochemistry with environmental applications. I'm excited to help students in chemistry or biology, or with general science, to both strengthen their performance and to encourage them to develop a curiosity for applying science to their own life. I have been a volunteer tutor and teaching assistant for elementary math and reading, as well as elementary, middle, and high school...

...tutor algebra and calculus, which seem to be high in demand. My favorite subjects to teach are calculus and physics. With calculus, there's very little memorization when you understand the fundamentals of limits. Also, there are several ways to approach the material: graphically for those more visual, theoretical for those that like equations, and plug-and-chug for those that prefer processes. Physics is great because same relationships that occur in your everyday experience also occur in...

I attended University of Washington Tacoma and graduated with Bachelor of Science degrees in both Mathematics and Computer Science. I tutor both subjects. Everyone has a different learning style; my goal as a tutor is to find out what my student's learning style is and adapt my teaching accordingly. I'm passionate about helping students because I was a student myself in the same situation. Being willing to accept help for a subject is half the...

...any grade level. I make sure the student is sure of all concepts before going forward, as I believe having a solid grasp of fundamentals and prior concepts is essential in understanding new ideas in Maths. I've achieved a BS in Mathematics from the University of Alaska, Anchorage. In my opinion, mathematics is a series of puzzles where you simply need to find and use the correct tools to connect the dots and solve them.

Hello! My name is Kate, and I have 10 years of experience as a tutor and as an informal educator. I love connecting with students and helping them grow.

...strong passion 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...

...am passionate about equality in learning as I know I had access to tons of resources that helped me succeed and get to the place I am at today, so I would love to be even a small part of helping you or your student reach their potential as well. I am working towards a major in Physics with a minor in Data science which provides me with a robust understanding of mathematics and problem...

...and going outdoors. As a student in the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, I have been exposed to a holistic spread of topics and am quite flexible with the content that I teach. Currently, I am working towards a BS in Economics with concentrations in Business Analytics and Management. During my fall semester I was one of 14 students from the freshman class nominated to be a peer tutor in the Writing Center....

...behind the concepts. I encourage critical thinking, problem-solving, and application of knowledge, helping students see the connections between different areas of math and science. I also believe in building strong study habits and a growth mindset, so students feel empowered to tackle challenges independently. I aim to make learning math and science not only effective but enjoyable. By using a variety of resources and personalized lesson plans, I ensure that each student progresses at their...

I am a sophomore studying Environmental Engineering and Math at University of Washington in Seattle. I am passionate about helping students work through their math struggles with and (hopefully) help them to realize how fun solving problems can be! I am especially connected to Calculus as I took two years of Calc in high school and completed advanced college level Calc just last year. I know exactly how both high schools and colleges are currently...

...graduate school and beyond. Besides math, I love to spend my summers hiking and backpacking. This past summer I hiked from Mexico to Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail.
