Award-Winning Calculus Tutors in Tempe, AZ

...rather than formulas memorized. When helping students prepare for standardized tests I focus on taking practice exams and working with students on the areas they need the most help. Outside of school I enjoy hiking, gardening, reading, and cooking. I like to explore new ways of doing things and being outside. I like to try to strike a good balance between learning, working, and enjoying time by myself, as well as with friends and family....

...years. These lessons have been for students of all ages ranging from elementary school to college. In high school I also excelled on the SAT (2220) and a plethora of AP tests (4s and 5s across the board), and so would be happy to aid with any test prep you may need. I am a very amicable person, and truly think that I could have a successful tutoring relationship with virtually anyone. I am happy...

...and I described 10 species of weevil (snout beetle) that were completely new to science. As part of my degree program, I have taught several different science classes. One of my favorite parts of being a doctoral student has been teaching and working one-on-one with students. To me, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing something 'click' for a student. My interdisciplinary training in biology and materials science has taught me how to communicate complex...

...formal tutoring programs, such as a class in my high school in which the subject material was the best way to encourage and motivate students for long term success. As a tutor, my goal is to instill confidence in students, develop a curiosity for the world, create a fascination for the fundamentals, and imbue motivation for learning from within the learner. I believe that every person has the capacity for any subject, and that in...

...and from algebra through more advanced mathematics subjects such as real analysis. Further, I enjoy it! Both mathematics and physics are sciences of problem-solving and perseverance, but once a solution is found, the work is greatly rewarding. In past experiences teaching and tutoring, I have found that I tend to lecture and use examples to ensure my classmates or students are not only capable of getting the right answer, but understanding why the answer they obtain...

...audience, customer support world wide, product demonstration and publication presentations at leading industrial conferences. As well recognized by my students (5 star ratings on all sessions), I tailor my teaching to student's need, resources, priority on the concept or problem solving or both. I am detail minded, interactive, and flexible in working with students ranging from high/middle-school to college/university ages. I pay close attention to student's needs, learning progress, and make necessary adjustments to achieve...

...could gently encourage making the subject “one’s own” in a friendly, supportive way. I’m patient and flexible when it comes to changing my approach based on a student’s particular learning needs. Rather than simply showing my method for solutions, I make note of how students tackle problems, and their thinking gives me guidance concerning strategies that will improve on their own methods. I enjoy the challenge of finding novel ways to help students make learning...

...his math homework. Not only did I enjoy it, but there were positive results for him as well. I have a well-rounded background including everything most math-related fields (as my major requires me to have an extensive mathematical background), computing, and acting. Although most technical students don't have the time, or perhaps the desire, to engage in an art, I actively pursue my artistic interest acting in movies and taking classes. I also grew up...

...to a variety of situations. I apply that skill to my tutoring: every student is different, and I adapt my teaching methods to those differences. The most important thing I do is make sure each student understands what they're trying to learn, not just tricks to get through their homework. If there's some basic skills missing, I make sure to go back and polish those up before getting back to the main problem. At the...

...aids, providing supplemental literature, incorporating music in language studies, and simply teaching through repetition with immediate feedback. I am a firm believer in every student having their own learning style, and I truly enjoy working within the style of each student I encounter. My greatest success stories were students who made me think outside the box with different approaches to instruction. When I'm not working, I enjoy crocheting, traveling, and listening to a variety of...
