Award-Winning Calculus Tutors in Sacramento, CA

...three years at Sierra College, taking math, science, and computer classes for the duration. Teaching is something that comes pretty easily to me - I've been a tutor for many people before, including friends, family, and classmates. Currently I am able to tutor in math, but soon I will be expanding that to include Computer Science, Chemistry, and Physics. My students tend to be pretty successful because I'm easy to get along with; I'm friendly...

...people, the end-goal of studying math isn't to become a mathematician or to fall deeply in love with division and derivatives. For most people, math is just a tool that they need to use (or study) to achieve a goal (becoming a doctor) or to accomplish a task (figuring out how much paint you need to paint that funny shaped room). So, I don't expect my students to love math because of its inherent beauty....

I am a future medical student and recent engineering graduate, and I look forward to working with students in math and science.... During a first session, I would talk with the student about their academic goals, and also discuss learning strategies that have worked well for them in the past.... I like to focus on big picture objectives. I believe it is more important to understand the foundations of a process and the overarching idea, rather...

...is patience. Everyone is capable of being great at math, but math is a very difficult and abstract topic, and the only sure path to success is through continuous effort. A tutor must have the patience to move through the subject at the student's own pace. Mathematics is important not just because of its endless application and its role as the foundation of the sciences, but because the problem solving strategies and intellectual tool set...

...hold a bachelor's and master's degree in Statistics, and I have worked in a variety of roles at big companies as a data analyst, and statistician. My goal is to provide students with top quality tutoring by being attentive to their needs, and working as a team towards finding solutions. My teaching philosophy is to identify and strengthen areas of weakness, and encourage dedication to learning math because I firmly believe anyone can learn math!...

...can take a lot of effort to "click" with these kinds of subjects, but once you do, it's a surprisingly rewarding experience. (Yes, I am a huge nerd now. See photo.) You just need to break down the problems, recognize patterns, and apply the concepts. So if you're just required to take a math course and you're sick of having a panic attack every time you look at a problem, or if you're in a...

...at Sacramento State, I took multiple calculus courses including differential equations. Also I coached high school volleyball for 3 years at my former high school in Elk Grove. I decided to start tutoring after graduating college so I could share my knowledge with many other students to help them succeed in school. Tutoring for me is comparable to engineering. I love both because I love to solve problems. I hope to teach students to be...

I am currently working as a tutor in Computer Science and Mathematics at American River College. I am also a father of two, with one on the way!

...for those of us who can't instantly understand advanced concepts and apply them in the real world often feel frustrated and left behind. In a way I still am one of the those students but I've found through hard work and some clever strategies that it is possible for anyone to be a successful student and a lifelong learner. I have spent many years working with other students to pass on the skills I've acquired...

...half. I've also tutored German privately and had 9 years working in church youth programs. My education has been through American River College and Sierra College, with my current degree being an AS in Mathematics for Transfer. I love to be curious about everything and to spark curiosity in others through teaching. My goal is not just to have you understand something, but to be able to have fun with it, be able to sit down,...

...in childcare. I love both learning and teaching so I am very excited for these tutoring opportunities! My philosophy has a lot to do with bringing the subject matter to life for the student and making sure they gain enthusiasm and confidence with the subject as they learn and work through the material. The specific needs for every student of course change because every one has unique learning capabilities and different ways of approaching and...

I believe math can and should be fun to learn. Whether it's terrible math jokes, bad math raps, or a video online that demonstrates the Pythagorean Theorem using Star Wars characters, it's always an interesting time learning from me!

...In my college experience, I have experienced failure and was once at a point where passing classes was a struggle. However, over the past 4 years, I have gotten nearly a 4.0 in my classes. I had to teach myself to be a good student because it wasn't always easy for me. The lessons I learned and experiences I've had helped me how to relate to someone that is struggling in school. I have tutored...

...1 soccer. I will be attending medical school in Fall 2019 at Creighton University. With 7 years of tutoring under my belt, 4 of which included working as a peer tutor for LMU Athletics, I have developed a strong passion for assisting others inside and out of the classroom to reach successful academic goals. I believe having a strong foundation in education is important for future success in our careers and relationships. As a STEM...

I am a Mechanical Engineer who enjoys teaching as well. It has been a passion of mine since high school and Varsity Tutors has given me the opportunity to pursue both my career and passion on a more leisurely basis. I love math and physics and hope to share that with many people.

...focus on British and American Literature. I also received my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, with an A in the Honors Program. My program in philosophy was an advanced interdisciplinary program, requiring me to specialize in logic and the methodology of science; as such, I intensively studied: - the foundations of mathematics, including set theory, recursion theory, model theory, and theory of proofs, - philosophical logic, including modal logic, - philosophy of mathematics, - logic...

I have a passion for math and science being an engineering major myself and is something I try to bring to each session. School can be challenging and difficult at times, however, I believe with the dedication, hard work, and the right help success is imminent. In addition, I have worked with a variety of students at different stages in their educational career as both a tutor for Sierra College and as a private tutor.

...on Astrophysics, and minored in Management Science. I have tutored extensively before, tutoring local high school students, and becoming a lifetime member of the California Scholarship Federation in the process. Although I have tutored a variety of subjects, from Japanese to European History, I am most comfortable with Math and the Sciences. Although not particularly applicable to tutoring, I also have two California licenses regarding Real Estate; a Real Estate Salesperson License, and a Real...

...passionate is something of an understatement. Math is the most beautiful thing in the universe, and I want open everybody's eyes to this deep and wonderful truth. Math is something to be enjoyed. I believe that while knowing the formulas and procedures is important, memorizing mathematical formulas without appreciating the concepts is akin to memorizing the lines of a Shakespeare play without paying attention to the underlying prose. My strongest subjects are linear algebra and...

...is because they have fallen behind in some way and therefore lost confidence. My main goal as a tutor will be to restore their confidence in the subject by providing complete understanding of concepts as well as preparing them for the most complex examples so that they will not be caught off guard in the class. I also believe tutoring should be a cooperation with the student because they have the best understanding of what...
