Arish
11th Grade math Tutor • +55 Subjects
I strongly believe that the purpose of education is not to bombard students with information but to equip them with the skills they need to start thinking independently. Having been a teacher for the past 5 years, I have focused on helping my students develop core concepts by explaining and following up with practice questions. In the past I have taught Mathematics, Statistics, Calculus, Pre-Calculus, Physics, Chemistry and Biology.
Carlos
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +167 Subjects
I've helped several hundred students in a wide variety of subjects, from executive functioning to computer science to standardized testing. I also help students with general support in math and English. Most of my students are around 9-17, but I work well with students who are older and a little younger as well. I also work very well with students who have specific obstacles or requirements, such as neurodiversity support or schedules that change a lot. Most of my background is in computer science, from my college major to my experience hands-on over the past 10 years. Regardless of the subject, I believe every student's needs are unique and every student is able to achieve great things with the right preparation and support. My number one goal is to provide that whenever I can, both to the student and to their parents. I communicate with parents outside of sessions a lot to establish their expectations, better understand students, and recommend ways they can directly support their children in their journey as well.

I believe every person has potential, which must be drawn out of them. With over 4 years of leading workshops, being a Teaching Assistant and creating curriculum, and nearly two years of private tutoring, I know how to help students and people of all ages easily understand concepts in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Having graduated from Vanderbilt University with a Bachelors degree in Engineering Science, I know how to move from not understanding a subject to understanding it well. The subjects I tutor include: - Math (Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus**, Calculus 1**, Calculus 2** and Statistics**) - Computer Science (AP CSP / AP Comp SciA, Python, ReactJS/JavaScript, HTML/CSS, Powershell/Bash Scripting) - Science (Physics**) ** - tutor subject at high school/AP/college level My teaching style includes completely modeling a problem on the board. Then, I would guide a student through solving a problem before having them solve it independently.

Johnathan
Applied Mathematics Tutor • +49 Subjects
I am passionate about helping students because have a zeal for the subject areas themselves. I am a Data Advocate, which makes me an advocate for all things that relate to the understanding, processing and proficiency in the "data space". This includes, but is not limited to, Math, Computer Programing and general problem solving. I have worked with students of all levels of knowledge and age groups. I use my personal experiences to develop positive working relationships with each individual student. I received my B.S. in Operations Research from the US Air Force Academy. I received my M.S. in Business Analytics from the American University. In the future I intend to purse a PhD in a field of Math or Analytics. My teaching philosophy and tutoring style are pretty similar in the sense that I try to provide multiple ways to come to the same answer. I also try to use relatable analogies specific to the student's interest. Inherent in that, is that I have to develop knowledge and a relationship with the student(s). Outside of academia, I have interests in Card & Board Games, Music, Sports and spending time with family.
