Award-Winning Calculus Tutors in Tacoma, WA

...my greatest strengths in this regard is my ability to approach a problem from multiple angles. If the first approach I suggest for a problem isn't clear to a student, I can usually come up with an alternate, sometimes more intuitive way of addressing the same problem. Recreationally, I spend a significant fraction of my time developing my problem-solving skills with the Mathematica programming language. I also enjoy building small digital and analog circuits, for...

...students in various subjects such as Algebra 1, Calculus 1, Introduction to Electrical Engineering, and Electronic Circuits. I am currently a graduate teaching assistant and provide laboratory instruction for undergraduate electrical engineering courses. My diverse educational background enables me to tutor various subjects ranging from math ( Algebra , Calculus, Differential Equations) to Engineering (Circuit Analysis, Microelectronic Circuits, classical control systems ). I believe that in order for students to be successful in any subject,...

...active tutor with experience as a teaching assistant as well. I worked for the Math department to provide support for students in lower level classes and feedback on assignments to address any misunderstandings. I was a teaching assistant for the Economics department where I held office hours, one-on-one meetings and review sessions to meet with students and help them grasp the concepts. I also created helpful problem sets and visualizations. I worked for the university...

...homework and assignments. In college, I worked with student athletes and tutored a wide range of topics including math, statistics, history, geography, french, economics, finance, business and statistics. My approach to tutoring and teaching is simple. I want students to develop a critical thinking and understand the concepts rather than just memorizing things. In my free time, I play soccer, and coach youth soccer. I also like to explore Seattle and the beautiful Northwest with...

...in high school, while in French, I became completely fluent after starting at the late age of 19. I love learning and for this reason it is a great joy for me to take others through the same processes I went through myself, especially in subjects like Math and Foreign Language where many people feel like they will never "get it." Often it is just a question of not being afraid of the wrong answer...

I have a well rounded approach and understanding of how to teach based on specific needs and have seen the improvements within my students first hand. I hope to do the same for you. ... I believe learning can be exciting for anyone, no matter what. All students, regardless of their past experiences, are capable and have the ability to succeed in whatever subject they choose. Having a great teacher and the proper encouragement can break the final wall keeping you or your child from success! No one is too young or too old to venture into the world of mathematics.

...tutor, in particular, is that I have first hand experience with many of the applications of mathematics, i.e. to Astronomy, Physics, Economics, and even to "soft" sciences like Psychology through Statistics. Getting students to understand the broader picture of why math is important has proven to be very effective in providing positive motivation for learning math. Math and science aside, I'm interested in health, nutrition, economics, psychology, philosophy, and music. I read 1 to 2...

...physics for two years in Arkansas. Although I have several years of experience as a science teacher, I actually prefer to tutor math. I think math is the foundation for many sciences and a solid understanding of math can lead to a better understanding of subjects like physics and chemistry. I think that education is based on building habits rather than falling into a pattern of getting behind then cramming. A lot of education is...

...math an honest try and that was when it started to click. Once I actually sat down with the real intent to learn rather than memorize the material, I was able to begin learning and from there I just wanted to see how far math can go. Once I reached Complex Analysis, I decided I had gone far enough lol. But the point is, if I can do it, anyone can do it and I...

I graduated from the University of Washington with a B.S. in Biochemistry. While there I tutored several classmates in Chemistry as it was my favorite subject. I am a patient person who is able to break down complicated ideas so that they are easy to understand. I am planning to attend law school next fall. I also tutor the LSAT. In my spare time I enjoy skiing, water sports, and watching Husky football.
