Award-Winning Computer Science Tutors in Chapel Hill, NC

...of subjects. My strongest areas of tutoring expertise would be in Computer Science (e.g. JavaScript, Java, web development), math (e.g. Algebra I, Algebra II, geometry), and grammar (e.g. SAT English questions). I am a detail-oriented teacher. I like to cover subjects from a variety of different perspectives to ensure the student has complete understanding of the material. I believe in asking questions that lead a student towards the right way of thinking, rather than strict...

...linguistics are fascinating to me and I don't get to speak mine enough, so please speak them with me! My physics background, as well as my years of teaching, means I know a disturbing amount of math (through advanced calculus). Yet, I've also been reading since I was old enough to hold a flashlight (my eyes don't thank me), so if you need help with following any sort of literature, I've got your back (excluding...

My teaching experience began when I was a teacher's aide while in college; I taught children in the Chapel Hill - Carrboro school system. After this, during my career as a software engineer, I had various mentoring roles. And recently I tutored at the Triangle Literary Council. Math and science are my favorite subjects. I often view math as fun puzzle solving. Aside from tutoring, I enjoy swimming, film, and reading.

...from a 1930???s text (the text was that old ??? not me :^) I earned an honors degree in Physics from the University of Waterloo. I tutored a Freshman Physics class as a teaching assistant and provided online tutoring via the Star Tribune homework help web site. In general, I enjoy tutoring Mathematics and Physics. I also enjoy hiking and orienteering, which is an application of Mathematics to transcribe back and forth between an abstract...

...camp as well, both in teaching and in the relationships I got to build over those four weeks! These experiences have shaped me as a tutor. This process has allowed me to pinpoint my weaknesses, fix them, and put me in various situations where I had to be creative when trying to get students to understand. All in all, it's such a fun process and it is something I wish to continue now!... I am very careful to pinpoint the exact level my student is at, no matter what class they're in. I have had many students in calculus classes who were lacking algebra skills, for example. When I pinpoint their level, I work from there, starting with the basics, and building difficulty as we go along.

...as I have taken the French baccalaureat. I started tutoring in high school, everything from math, literature, to French and Latin. I have worked mostly with high school, college students and adults, but have also helped younger students accomplish their goals. I love teaching and find it wonderful when I help my students understand complex concepts. Though hard science can be scary, all my students have come to have a much deeper understanding of it...

...each session. I love tutoring because I know how important it is. I took tutoring sessions myself when I was in high school to prep for AP and ACT exams. Those sessions really helped me, and that is what inspired me to become a tutor and help others. I also have a huge passion for math. I have loved and excelled at it since elementary school. I'm doing a minor in mathematics at college because...

...continued in college in a part time position, where I helped students in College Algebra, Statistics, Calculus and Programming. After college I moved to Spain where I gave private test prep lessons to high school students and also helped friends prepare for their college entrance exams. By using my broad background in these subjects I can help students see concepts in different ways, and by enthusiastically approaching problems I can help increase the student’s interest....

...are especially engaging to work with due to the challenging nature of the material and the lively mind of the student. In addition to my own tutoring practice, I've also been director of a non-profit tutoring center. Under my administration we tracked students' scores and attained the highest average grade increase in the program's history. By guiding other tutors and consulting students for feedback on their experience, I got a very keen sense of what...

...can readily follow and understand. I have taken higher level math courses and understand the fundamentals very well so it allows me to teach them in a way that is basic enough for anyone to understand. Everyone learns in a different way, so each student you teach is different each with their own strengths and weaknesses so tailoring the learning experience to each student is the best way to help the student learn in their...
