Tolu
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a graduate from Stanford University. I received my Bachelor's in Economics there and continued to receive a certificate in Full Stack Web Development from the University of Texas Austin. I have tutored intermittently, primarily teaching test prep; however, I have at different points taught most everything. Here in the Houston area, I've worked with Testmasters, C2 Education and Test Geek. I implement the Socratic Method into my teaching style: I ask plenty of questions that force students to deeply understand the material and to explain how they know why their answer is correct or not. I also believe it is my duty to equip students with tools to become better learners themselves which entails welcoming unique and creative approaches to solving problems, encouraging students to connect the relationships between different topics and subjects, and recommending using external sources and materials to learn and supplement understanding. Hobbies: art, travel, sports, reading, writing, books, traveling, music

I am a recent graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, where I majored in mathematics and minored in creative writing and statistics. I tutor math, reading, and writing up to the college level. My favorite subject to tutor is Algebra, because I believe it is the most intuitive area in math, and nothing in teaching brings me more joy than in helping students develop their own sense of intuition towards a subject.

I always believed serving the community eventually serves one well too and becoming a teacher did justice to my perception. After completing schI have always held the belief that serving the community ultimately benefits oneself as well, and my decision to become a teacher aligned perfectly with this perspective. After completing my schooling in Surathkal, India, I enrolled full-time in KOTA, Rajasthan, which is widely recognized as India's premier coaching hub. The program I joined was an integrated module that focused on the high school curriculum and provided rigorous training for cracking national-level engineering entrance exams. Through sheer determination and consistent hard work, I achieved an outstanding score in the national Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) and pursued a Bachelor of Technology degree from the National Institute of Technology Calicut. While my academic achievements showcase my technical aptitude, what truly defines me is my passion for imparting knowledge to young minds. Therefore, after completing my undergraduate studies, I worked as a faculty member for Mathematics and statistics at the Triumphant Institute of Management Education (TIME), where I taught students from grades 8 to 12. TIME afforded me the opportunity to teach at prestigious schools in Bangalore, catering to students from diverse curriculums such as CBSE, ICSE, and GCSE. My experience at TIME became even more fulfilling when I had the privilege of mentoring over 200 students for the JEE and SAT exams. Building on my three years of teaching experience at TIME, I transitioned to an international platform by joining AskIItians Web Pvt Limited, an Ed-Tech company and a subsidiary of Transweb Global Inc corporation (based in New York). I worked at their office in Bahrain, where I taught fundamental and advanced Mathematics to students ranging from Grade 6 to 12. My role involved utilizing digital delivery methods and harnessing technology to create a collaborative learning environment. I developed a series of cognitive technical solutions that complemented the educational aspects, facilitating seamless learning for students on the online platform. Furthermore, I am currently pursuing a master's degree in education technology from the University of British Columbia. This course provides me with valuable insights into the effective integration of technology in education, encompassing a wide range of advanced learning methods. I am keen on understanding how technology plays an essential role in the learning process of today's youth. Overall, this belief serves as the foundation of my desire to teach and impart knowledge to young minds.ooling in Surathkal, India, I was enrolled full-time in India's most renowned coaching hub KOTA, Rajasthan. The program was an integrated module focused on high school curriculum and rigorous training for cracking national level engineering entrance exams. With determination and consistent hard work, I cleared the national Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) with a remarkable score and pursued a Bachelor of Technology from, National Institute of Technology Calicut. Although my academic parameters indicate technical acuity, what defines me is my thirst to disseminate knowledge amid young minds. Thus, after under-graduation, I worked as a Mathematics and statistics faculty at Triumphant Institute of Management Education (TIME) teaching students from grade 8 to grade 12.. The organization allowed me to teach in Bangalore's most reputed client schools. My experience at TIME became more rewarding when I mentored around 200 plus students for JEE and SAT. At TIME, I catered to students from various curriculums like CBSE, ICSE and GCSE. Exposure to three years of teaching experience in TIME helped me move to an international platform to an Ed-Tech company, AskIItians Web Pvt Limite, a part of Transweb Global Inc corporation (headquartered in New York). I was working at their office in Bahrain, teaching fundamental and advanced Mathematics to students ranging from Grade 6 to 12. My work involved teaching by a digital delivery mode simultaneously gaining sufficient proficiency in incorporating technology in several aspects of regular classrooms to achieve a technology-enhanced collaborative learning environment. I stitched a chain of cognitive technical solutions aligned with the relative elements of education to facilitate smooth learning of students on an online forum. Furthermore, I am pursuing a master's in education technology from the Unversity of British Columbia. This course also exposes me to constructive technological measures, including a wide range of advanced learning methods. I try to understand how technology plays an indispensable role in how today's kids learn. Broadly, this notion forms the basis of my desire to teach and impart knowledge in young minds.

"If I have seen further, it is by standing on the poorly executed lessons of those who have taught me." -Isaac Newton and Myself. I was inspired to become a tutor because I believe there is an easy way to explain anything, it's just that, unfortunately, most don't take the time to try. I am a former Computer Science student at Rider University, where I have been tutoring since the beginning of Junior year. My favorite part of the job is that the more I teach a subject, the better I understand it. The subjects I will be focusing on tutoring are computer programming, Computational Theory, and Basic Mathematics such as Algebra. Currently I am an IT professional at a LIS company, providing patient-critical services to hospitals and labs. I also develop websites on the side.

Ancora Imparo. The recent years have illustrated just how important this attitude is. Of accepting that no person, even given our extended lifetimes, can ever master every discipline. That there is wisdom in seeking to improve, but folly in expecting domination of any field of knowledge. The very best and wisest of us have survived the past two years not only due to cunning or intelligence, but adaptability and flexibility. And although I have been involved with teaching since 2013 and tutoring since 2001, it was not until 2018 that I began to experiment with online teaching of one-on-one clients via Skype, experiments that helped me to be ready and adaptable when my entire industry needed to entertain the shift in February of 2020. Ancora Imparo. Still, I am learning. Life will teach you new things, if you first agree that new perspectives are possible. A mind functions best when it's open to new ideas.
