Award-Winning Computer Science Tutors in Chester County, PA

...as well as students of under-served populations in Baltimore city. Following college, I spent a year teaching high school students of various ages in Philadelphia. Since then, I have worked at the University of Pennsylvania researching traumatic brain injury. After completing a rigorous academic path, I have learned that we learn best when we are able to both apply the material we learn and have fun in the process. Because I am passionate about the...

...cadets at the US Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs. Also, I earned a doctorate in mathematics while in the Air Force. After retiring from the Air Force, I taught at the University of Nebraska and then worked for Lockheed Martin in King of Prussia as a technical expert for the space program. I have taught math and computer science courses at Temple University and Penn State Great Valley. I enjoy helping students do well...

...at Swarthmore College. While I'm pursuing a technical degree I have diverse interests and I believe that my liberal arts background help me connect and communicate effectively as a tutor. I want to help you or your child understand the core concepts of any field instead of rattling off formulas and techniques for specific questions. To me, the mentor/mentee relationship is one of the most important human relationships --I will take any request seriously and...

...tutoring Wilson reading for the past two years. I believe I am successful as a tutor because I meet the student where they are and will adapt to their needs to forge a relationship fostering learning. I love animals in general but cats the most. I have two cats and volunteer with a cat rescue. If God had not given me a family with mild allergies, I might have become the "crazy cat lady!" I...

...my school's writing center. During the summers, I worked at the Houston Museum of Natural Science as a paid teaching assistant and as a volunteer leading tours of the exhibit halls. Currently, I am a Calculus I and II peer tutor at Bryn Mawr College, where I attend school. My intended major(s) are Math and Chemistry. With Varsity Tutors, I am certified to teach math from kindergarten to Calculus II and prepare students for the...

...in theoretical mathematics classes. So if a student asks me why a certain thing is true in math (such as why the product of two negatives yields a positive, why differentiability implies continuity, etc.), I will be able to give a good, concrete reason. Having experience in other areas such as cryptography, programming, and statistics, I can also give plenty of good explanations as to why learning mathematics can be fun and important for other...

...a boring tutor and I absolutely hate going ONLY by the book. I'll use real world examples and show you unique ways to remember any steps for any problems you are facing. You will learn the process of thinking, not just solving. Instead of showing you how to do one single problem at a time, I will show you different ways to look at a problem and figure out the best approach to solve it....

...helping my brother and sister see problems the way I do. I believe strongly that the student gains nothing from the tutor who does their work for them, so I go out of my way to make sure each student understands that grasping the concepts is much more important than solving the individual problems. Besides working with my siblings, I also have experience teaching swim lessons, volunteering in classrooms, and tutoring High School students. My...

...school and college, I learned both about challenging myself and about managing my time. Through trying new sports in high school as well as competing at the Division 1 level in college, I learned how to work well in a personal setting which I incorporated into what I was learning in the classroom. I plan to take all of my skills and use them to my advantage in my approach to tutoring!... I believe that everyone learns differently, so it is important to be able to approach each problem with different methods of explanation. A method that works well for one student might not have as much traction with another student, so it is important to have a flexible approach.

...the sciences since everything is highly concrete: 2+2 will always equal 4 whether tomorrow or thousands of years into the future. There are also many different approaches to math many of which are correct, and it becomes a matter of preference to which method you like the most. I think education is the most important thing; it really serves as a mold for the rest of our lives. The better the education the better your...
