Award-Winning Calculus Tutors serving Alexandria, VA

...grow and learn; however, all through high school and through most of college I worked as a tutor both privately and with tutoring organizations. I found that while on the surface I could help these students with their homework, on a deeper level I was feeding their soul and helping them be better prepared to learn on their own outside of tutoring time. All the while, allowing me to develop a finer understanding of the...

...that the Professor knows about it! His thirst for knowledge still not slaked, Professor Covington went to GA Tech - at their campus in France, mind you - to study electrical engineering further, with yet more Mathematics. This time Number Theory and Cryptography came into the picture. These topics added Discrete Mathematics and Group Theory to the palette. As a side note, the Professor participated in the first-ever live video chat over the Atlantic Ocean....

...graduate from Georgia Tech, where I also acquired an MS in mathematics along the way. During my time, I worked as a teaching assistant for introductory level physics, i.e., Mechanics and Electrodynamics, as well as a number of upper-level physics courses.

To understand physics, even at an introductory college level, some mastery of mathematics is required. It is always a pleasure to...

I recently graduated with my degree in Mathematics for Teaching from TAMU in College Station with minors in STEM Education and Spanish. I believe mathematics is often overcomplicated and made difficult. Most of the time though, it can be as enjoyable as a jigsaw puzzle and I would love the opportunity to help turn complex concepts into pieces of the larger picture. :)

...undergraduate studies at Amherst College, were I double majored in Biology and Mathematics and pursued the pre-medicine track. Tutoring fascinates me because it allows me to help other students understand materials better and also help them become equally excited about subjects that excite me. I tutor a wide variety of science courses including Mathematics, Statistics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Psychology and Sociology. My tutoring style slightly varies based on my students' personalities but I always make...

...some problems together. By doing so I understand if the concept and problem-solving skill is well understood or do we need to practice more. Then I ask them to solve some problems by themselves so they would have great confidence in themselves. I also give them some problems as homework so the problem-solving skills they have gained consolidate in their mind. I am passionate about working with students and seeing them thrive. I am a...

...strive to exemplify in my tutoring the same communication skills, attention to detail, and creative initiative that I developed during my studies. Having learned through past teaching experience that no two students think exactly alike, I facilitate learning by developing methods that cater to a student's personal learning style.

Finally in May 2021, as my visa was about to expire, I returned to the...
