Award-Winning Calculus Tutors in Seattle, WA

...of Cincinnati. I plan on attending law school in the near future, but I have always enjoyed teaching. 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 tutor a large variety of subjects, including LSAT, SAT, and ACT. I also tutor various academic subjects, primarily in the fields of math and science. My favorite subject to tutor is Chemistry,...

...were AP Calculus and AP Physics, and my favorite courses during undergrad were in Moral Philosophy/Ethics. While at OSU I worked as a Peer Tutor for the University, where I tutored mainly Mathematics ranging from Pre-Algebra to Calculus. I enjoy tutoring math the most; however, that may be due to the amount of time I've spent doing so. I would love the opportunity to tutor a student in less-frequently requested subjects like Philosophy! My teaching...

...molecular biology with a minor in chemistry and graduated summa cum laude (with highest honors). Over the past year I held the role of Science Subject Specialist at the Seattle University Learning Assistance Programs. In this position, I served as the lead tutor of the science tutoring program and helped oversee the program. I fulfilled CRLA's International Tutor Training Program to become an Advanced Certified Tutor, Level II. I also worked at Seattle University's Math...

...for nine years, and I love what I do. The best part of my day is when my students are experiencing success and confidence in their math skills. I've taught Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Precalculus, and Calculus. Trigonometry has always been a solid part of my Algebra 2 and Precalculus classes. Many students have said they understand math after I've explained it. My goal is to help my students reach their goals.

...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. When not teaching I...

...in Environmental Biology. I first started tutoring during my gap year between high school and college when I helped build a local tutoring service with a friend. Even though that tutoring service is no longer operational, I continued to tutor students throughout my time at Columbia. As a tutor, I understand that each student is unique. Instead of doing to same routine, I like to develop a tutoring strategy that caters to each students' strengths...

...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 of my academic interests and experiences, I am passionate about food and the outdoors. I value education, efficiency, wit, kindness, and the Oxford comma, and am constantly searching for new challenges and opportunities. I enjoy...

...the 4X1 Relay for 3 years straight. In other words, when it comes to my personality, I like to have fun, be competitive, and succeed. When it comes to my experience with tutoring, I have an arsenal. With my mathematical background I am here to help you understand those theorems and math principles in order to make your studies a lot easier. I have experience with subjects like Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1-4, and Trigonometry, all the...

...Gonzaga University. At Gonzaga, my 300-400 level instructors would interact with the student on an individual basis (regularly and upon request), which taught me the value of interpersonal relationships in academia. I enjoy tutoring students who have an interest in mathematics or demonstrate a willingness to learn. I myself started very slowly in intermediate college math courses, but gradually the subject matter was known with practice, which eventually enabled me to appreciate math as an...

...love to watch their faces when I say that I used to hate math and actually failed Algebra 2 in high school. I never "got good" at math. I put in the right amount of effort to understand the material. That is the most important lesson that I teach. After getting an A.S. from SPSCC, I went on to major in biochemistry at the University of Washington, Seattle. At the end of my Junior year,...

...my own experience as being taught, I discovered that mathematics can never be understood without a pen and a pencil in hands. Math is not a reading subject where you can think and reason and discuss about your opinion. It is rather an absolute science where anyone agree to one and single outcome. Moreover, as I always tell my students, you can never finish better yourself through practice because practice makes perfect. Even the most...

...one-on-one sessions. I try to teach through Socratic questioning and encouraging autonomy in my students, as independence is a crucial step to true understanding of subject material. I also try to teach concepts rather than questions, as being able to answer a question will answer just that-one question. Teaching to the concept will allow you to answer the question and all other questions that employ a similar strategy. I also advocate for showing work and...

...What began as helping my brothers and friends in math, has turned into a strong desire to teach and educate persons of all ages and backgrounds. Since then, I have helped students of all ages in many subjects: German, Italian & primarily Math. I have been a tennis coach for 7 years at the Western Tennis Club in Glasgow, mostly working with younger kids. I have always had a thing for numbers and equations but...

...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 it is most important...

...students. At all levels, I encourage both the hesitant and eager students to succeed. I tailor lesson plans to different learning styles and abilities. With the extra attention I give, my students consistently tell me they have learned more than they ever thought possible for themselves. Many of my students once nervous about math or science went on to major in these subjects in college with great success. They just had to get over fears...

...is true, I have honestly enjoyed all my science classes. From general biology, to genetics, from ecology, to biostatistics, I like it all. Science is amazing because it is so experimental and complex, but once understood truly fascinating and question-inducing. Math and analytical writing are a close second and third. Math, in my opinion, is great because (with a few exceptions) there are no if, buts, or maybes. Math is a dependable, rule-following subject, and...

...I couldn’t find a way to mesh all of the things in life that excite me into one career. Film and animation have managed to do that for the most part, but as I grow older (and wiser?) I feel more certain that teaching at the collegiate level is my calling. I carry with me my overly nice, hard working, and cheese-loving qualities from my upbringing in Wisconsin, and I’m hoping to absorb all 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 lead to a deeper...

...so that generated more enthusiasm among us (the students). He was really helpful when we asked him questions during lab or during office hours. Also, David brought other applications of the topic (and some tangential subjects) we were learning about during the section, so it's good to see that he had more outside knowledge of how something could be used." These comments reflect my personal approach to teaching. When I am with a student, I...

...am a junior at the University of Washington pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. If Mathematics and Physics are where you tend to struggle academically, then I can help you! I have helped family members study for the SAT and ACT as well as catered to numerous middle school and high school students' needs for guidance when it comes to ‘study strategies.’ I have completed extensive coursework in Trigonometry, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Matrix Algebra, Geometry,...
