My name is Alex and I am a proud and recent graduate of Rice University where I received my Master's in Environmental Science with a heavy focus on Environmental Statistics. Before this I attended the University of Texas at Austin where I received my Bachelor's degrees in Geography and Humanities.Having been exposed to an eclectic background of liberal arts and hard science I am comfortable tutoring across a broad range of subjects and encourage students to see the inherent connections between their work and real-world applications.Despite my technical background, I am a person who would much rather contemplate the words in a good book rather than the letters of a differential equation. However, my interest in studying the natural world has caused me to suffer through more math classes than I care to count. As a result, I am well-equipped to help 'math-shy' students understand, appreciate, and flourish in a subject that they may have previously disliked.I believe in forging a relationship between the student and the subject matter with the idea being able to answer the question "when will I ever need to know this?" is the first step to understanding.Currently, I live in Houston with my bride, Nathalie, and our great big black lab, affectionately know as "The Bear". I love being out-of-doors in any capacity and am an avid soccer-player, swimmer, and cyclist.

I have been tutoring for over five years and have come to love helping kids learn. I am a friendly recent college graduate who likes to make learning fun. When tutoring, I look for ways to relate the material to one of your child's interests, to better ensure he/she retains the material. Part of my method includes instructing students on how to properly study. For example, I advise them on how to make comprehensive study reviews, a schedule, and note cards. I also have experience tutoring children with autism. My strongest subjects are math (Geometry, Pre-Calculus, Algebra), languages (Russian, German, Spanish), and essay writing/editing.

I am a fully certified as a bilingual elementary school teacher, with degrees and certifications from the University of Arizona. After graduating in 2015 I decided to put teaching on hold and pursue my passion of travel. I have been working as a flight attendant for United Airlines since June of 2015 and am planning to do this for the foreseeable future. That being said, I really miss teaching and am looking for way to immerse myself back into the education field part-time.

I have been working professionally in education for almost six years now. I have been described as a compassionate, reliable, effective, and fair teacher. I have worked in regular education and special education settings. A fun fact, I am also fluent in American Sign Language (ASL) and love to incorporate that into my teaching style. I love the art of teaching and meeting new students. My favorite thing about teaching is interacting with children and teaching them new skills to help them be successful in all aspects of what they do.

I am a recent graduate from The Ohio State University with a passion for sharing knowledge with those around me. During my time at Ohio State University I studied the science of Human Nutrition which included courses of Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Calculus, Microbiology, Molecular Genetics, Nutrition, and several others. I plan to attend graduate school for a nurse practitioner program beginning in January 2017. I have tutored a variety of a subjects and with all age groups. Most recently I worked with high school aged students in the subjects of science, math, and ACT/SAT test prep. My goal as a tutor is to make learning a fun and applicable experience for everyone! My favorite subjects to tutor are science subjects and ACT prep. Outside of tutoring I enjoy spending my time in nature, reading, and hanging out with friends. I look forward to meeting you!

Hi there!My name is Ren. I graduated from NYU cum laude two years ago, and currently I'm working full time in a finance firm in midtown. I've been tutoring since I was in high school. My strong suits are math and Chinese (a little stereotypical, I know. But I can't change what I'm good at!).Now a little about my hobbies... I don't know anything about music, in fact I took an elementary piano lesson in my last semester of university, and received a B- for it! Turned out to be the worst grade in my student history, and robbed me of my Magna Cum Laude by 0.003 points! Still bitter? Yes.I love travelling and I've studied abroad two times. So far I've been to around 10 countries. I speak English, Chinese, and Italian.

I am a graduate from Michigan State University with a B.A. in English literature, a specialization in creative writing and minors in Linguistics and Japanese. I am currently pursuing certification as a teacher of mathematics, Japanese, and English literature at the secondary level. I have worked for the last year and a half as a tutor of students grades 4th-12th in math, English, reading skills, study skills, and English and reading ACT prep.My specialty in math is in helping students who struggle with the abstract nature of math to understand why the steps are the way they are, and in helping to improve the student's fluency with math vernacular. Because I come from a verbal background, I work especially well with students who excel at verbal subjects, but struggle at math.

The title “teacher” is special to me, because great teaching inspires the imagination and frees kids to think with an open mind. This freedom of imagination let’s kids comprehend more completely who they are and who they aspire to be. It’s all about possibilities! My personal teaching style is filled with this positive urgency, humor and energy—“Let’s do it and do it now!” Be it a special education class, a remedial class or a college course, kids apply their knowledge and insights in projects. Ideas are applied to writing, mastery of mathematical processes or performance techniques.Feelings of confidence motivate kids and stretch into other parts of life—problems become challenges to tackle, rather than disappointments to avoid. Gaining mastery is supported by trust. Setting achievement goals is risky. Students need to trust their teacher and themselves. Building trust and relationships is another one of my chief strengths. I believe kids learn in a system of relationships and in a culture of learning. Building trust requires follow through—being present, prepared and in command, otherwise kids don’t take the risks. It also means adapting to individual learner’s needs. A great lesson or an appropriate challenge builds trust through understanding. I use an eclectic array of resources from graphic organizers, to drilling, to practiced editing, to sentence starters, to Cornell Notes.. All are a proven way to help structure learning tasks. Without judgment and a positive can-do frame of mind, we tackle what seems impossible!

I love teaching! I love working with anyone who wants to learn!! My whole career has been spent in education and I would love to work with you or your child. My areas of expertise are in reading, writing, study skills, and working with those who may receive special education or have attention deficit disorder. I have taught K-12 and at the college level. There is no paper that we cannot tackle together. If you or your child need help with decoding or reading comprehension, I am here for you! If math is an issue at the elementary level, I can help!!Personally, I am married and we have one daughter, three dogs, three cats and a rat! Yes, a rat! We love camping and hanging out with our friends. I also love to dive into a good book when I find the time.I look forward to meeting you!

My philosophy as amathematics tutorconsists of two imperatives: content knowledge and communication. I do not believe someone can successfully explain a subject without first having a deep and thorough understanding of the subject themself. However, someone can have all the knowledge in the world, but it would be useless if they could not patiently and efficiently instruct others. When it comes to math tutoring, I am particularly qualified in both regards.In June, I graduated summa cum laude inMathematicsfrom the Honors College at the University of Oregon (GPA: 4.02). In my education, I studied both a broad and deep mathematical curriculum, received a fellowship to conductmathematical research in knot theory, and acedCalculus7 (...just kidding about that last one). I have taken several graduate-levelmathcourses and plan on continuing my academics by earning a Ph.D. inmatheducation. (If it's not obvious, I have a thing formath.)I was amathtutorat my university for three years. I tutored education majors taking a rigorous mathematics content course. So not only did Itutormath, but I tutored for a course designed to provide students with the knowledge to be effective teachers. This has equipped me with the necessary pedagogical understanding to patiently and knowledgeably explain complicated subjects in easy-to-grasp terms.In short, I am atutorwho knows what I'm talking about, knows how to explain it, and can do it in a relatable way. Whether your child is struggling or overachieving in theirmathclass, I want to help them better understand andhopefullyappreciate mathematics.
