Award-Winning Calculus Tutors in Redmond, WA

...New Hampshire and this fall I taught at an experiential education school in CO, where I mentored students on multiple two-week backpacking trips. It is my belief that learning math is a perfect context in which to learn creative problem solving. In addition to working with students on complete content coverage, I frame problems as a series of open ended questions that lead to the correct answer and develop a rational understanding of the material....

...privately. While in grad school, I also got the opportunity to be a teaching assistant. My approach to teaching is to work through examples with the student, guiding them along the way with questions meant to help them think about the problem and come to their own understanding of the material. Teaching, to me, is a dialog. My role is to help you learn the material in a way that works with how you process...

...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.

I started tutoring during my junior year of high school, finding that I had an aptitude for analogies that helped students learn the material.

...I also had numerous opportunities to tutor my peers as an undergraduate. I spend about a year and a half providing tutoring support for some introductory computer science courses. These courses focused primarily on learning Python and some of the basic methods of computer science. I also worked as a physics tutor for an introductory physics course. During high school, I tutored elementary school and middle school music. When it comes to learning, I think...

...an instrument. I used to play piano and violin quite a bit, but over the years I have played less, and it is just an occasional hobby now. Of course, despite my busy schedule I always make time to hang out with friends, whether through gaming or otherwise, just to keep myself sane whilst being immersed in academia. Through tutoring, I wish to inspire those who have yet to see the wonders of mathematics in...

...help them determine the learning style that works best for them. I have never been a fan of memorizing facts, so whenever possible I like to tackle concepts in a manner that will explain the “why.” In my own learning I find I can grasp issues better by breaking them up into small, manageable steps and concepts, so this is what I strive for in helping others as well. I find this approach tends to...

...flexibility and compassion; traits that I feel are fundamental for a good tutor. Education is a self-motivated endeavor - it not only improves ones quality of life, it literally rewires the way your brain views our world and the results are remarkable. And though I tutor several subjects, I believe Physics and Astronomy produce the greatest results. Therefore, they're my favorite. I currently work for an educational software company that creates virtual classrooms for students...
