Award-Winning Trigonometry Tutors serving Kirkland, WA

...in High School while taking AP Calculus AB, I was a peer tutor in my school's Pre-Calculus course. Other tutoring experience comes from volunteering to help my peers in their math and Computer Science classes. I am an avid programmer with experience across a wide range of technologies and languages, including NodeJS, MySQL, C, C++, and Objective C. Most of my experience in Computer Science comes from personal projects and my own curiosity. Learning new...

...play basketball. I also enjoy playing video games and I just started to do Crossfit which I am enjoying a lot. This past summer I worked with the Tucson Big Brothers Big Sisters picking up donations from all over the area. My teaching style is one that I like to think is extremely adaptable.

...best ways to achieve their academic goals. That being said, I also understand that a high schooler's time is limited and valuable, and endeavor to work closely with my students and their families to create both short-term and long-term goals to make sure that we stay on track; my priority is ensuring a comfortable space for my students while building up the confidence and knowledge that they need to ace their essays and tests. Outside...

...subjects, along with Physics and Statistics. At both locations I worked in a tutoring center, so I have experience working with many different students with many different learning styles. As a tutor at Western, I was awarded Level 1 Certification by the College Reading and Learning Association. My favorite subjects to tutor are Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, and Physics, as I feel that they offer the student the best opportunity to witness real life applications of Mathematics....

...else for answers. I tutor a range of subjects, but I especially enjoy teaching middle school math and SAT prep. I have a strong grasp of the approaches necessary to succeed in those areas. It is fun to share those approaches with students and watch the AHA! moments unfold. Why do I teach? Successful learning requires awareness of HOW you think: how you create and organize your own perception. I am fascinated with this meta-thinking,...

...Biology, Biochemistry and Physics up to the undergraduate level. I majored in Chemistry and General/Statistical Mathematics, and am capable of teaching up to abstraction subjects in the latter. I have also studied Literature, specifically post-modern American, British Renaissance, and Poetry throughout my IB high school and college years. I am very familiar with US and Comparative Government due to having worked as an outliner for the AP books. Teaching is a personal endeavor and a...

...taught classes that ranged from science-heavy forest and aquatic ecology to those that emphasized interpersonal growth like high ropes and cooperation, developing my own lesson plans and adapting them to different states' curricula and to students' ages and personalities. My classes focused on allowing students to explore the world around them, and to ask their own questions, creating an open space where they could learn how to challenge themselves. Both schools at which I taught...

...discovering how things work, and it makes me appreciate the world that I live in that much more. Last year I volunteered at Nova High School helping out with a biology class as well as tutoring math on occasion. I even got to plan and teach my own lesson on mass extinctions taking what I learned from observing the teacher teach over the last couple months and implementing my own style as well. My volunteer...

Natural sciences (Biology, Chemistry, and Physics) are my favorite subjects, but I also enjoy Math, History, and Writing. I would be delighted to tutor students in any subject, and I am happy to help with standardized test prep, study habits and time management, college applications, and much more. Science may not...

I have been tutoring for six years, both informally and through organizations such as UW and Bellevue College. I like teaching and continue to tutor because I enjoy helping students improve. I believe anyone can learn math and science. I work with my students to help them understand not only how to solve problems,...

...a kid and watched The Magic School Bus and the Bill Nye show. I majored in Neuroscience and Behavior in college, so I learned a lot about Biology and Psychology, and I plan on getting a Master's in Bioengineering.

...I earned my Master of the Arts in Teaching degree from the University of Portland which licensed me to teach at the secondary level. I now study Type I Diabetes in a research laboratory in Seattle, Washington, and I plan to use this experience to pursue a Ph.D. in cognitive neuroscience (the study of how we form and access memories). My interest in neuroscience fuels my philosophy of education. I think all students have a...

...the curriculum is all about the "design thinking" framework for creative problem solving pioneered by the international design firm IDEO. While typically used in startups to develop new innovations, I've found it extremely handy in tutoring. Every student is different and so are their difficulties, so a finite set of ways to present a concept or tackle a difficulty is potentially limiting. In my experience, it's much more effective to use an adaptive framework like...

...philosophy and a minor in mathematics at the University of Washington, I was fortunate to be exposed to very different learning and teaching styles. I also learned to appreciate that very smart people can think in very different ways from each other and that people who are outstanding at some subjects inevitably need help with others. I always bring this insight to bear on tutoring, where I work together with the student to find a...

...support from effective educators, anybody can learn anything. My tutoring style is to ask leading questions and offer hints to help my students make their own connections between what they already know and the new material they're tackling. I've found that people tend to be much smarter than they think they are. Often all it takes is somebody to point out the similarity between that difficult subject you're struggling with and a concept that you...

...I make sure to match your schedule the best I can! I'm always happy to share cool travel stories. Just graduated college with honors in Chem and Math. Now an online tutor. The flexible schedule means I can travel and have waaaaaay more awesome hobbies than any one man should be allowed to have, basically Indiana Jones! If Indy were a barefoot chemist, and also a future carny... Anyway I really enjoy nerding out about...
