Award-Winning Computer Science Tutors serving Fountain Valley, CA

...favorite subject to tutor is probably calculus because calculus really opens students' options for further exploration in math, science, economics, and pretty much every other STEM field. When it comes to tutoring, I believe that in order to give useful feedback to a student I need to observe and listen to them just as much they need to listen to me. Only then can I see what they need help understanding and how best to...

...To contrast my coursework, I decided to tutor writing and explore my passion for language. My approach to tutoring focuses on exploring ideas and problem solving strategies until they become intuitive. I believe that intuition is the key to long term command of a subject. A difficult problem becomes far more digestible when viewed from a new angle. Once an idea makes sense at its core, it is far easier to learn its nuances and...

...teaching assistant (personalized tutoring and lab instruction), I hope to continue my involvement with tutoring at Varsity Tutors! I've had extensive experience with Speech and Debate throughout high school, which not only helped me with my communication skills but also taught me how to be an organized and analytical student. Despite having a fierce passion for debating, I am known by my peers as always being calm, cool, and collected. I have witnessed these traits...

...my first tries on the SAT and PSAT. I enjoy tutoring because I love working with students and seeing other people reach their goals. I don't believe in memorizing facts and figures, but rather helping students learn that they can develop their problem-solving skills to approach anything with a strong mindset. Besides spending time tutoring, I love to play squash and go running. I also really enjoy photography and eating. In general, I love staying...

...the ability to think critically, relish the problem solving process, and come to solutions on their own. To this end, I attempt to speak clearly and concisely, to make high-level concepts accessible to students of all ability levels, and to create strong personal relationships with my students. I am currently accepting students in all math subjects through the high school level, standardized test preparation (SAT, GRE, SSAT, PSAT), computer science, writing, study skills and organizational...

...year of high school. What I hope to accomplish with my tutoring is ensure that you not only achieve your desired grade/score, but see how the different concepts relate to each other in the bigger picture. The more important part is to critically think about the subject matter in other, more unfamiliar contexts. Also, in my math subjects, I seek to provide personal secrets in realms including quicker computation strategies, unique acronyms for certain rules,...

...educational goals and impart some of the learning methods that have allowed me to excel! I have been tutoring students from levels K-college in mathematics and science with my former teacher for five years now and am passionate about education. While I enjoy tutoring many different subjects, my favorite is any facet of mathematics because it is fascinating to be able to explain the real world through numbers. Having gone through the rigors of standardized...

...teaching and tutoring in math and science. I also am well versed with SAT prep in test-taking strategies and time management on the test, as well as creating a plan leading up to the test. Before studying at Columbia, I was a Nuclear Electrician in the Navy for six years. My experience taught me the value of patience, determination and sacrifice. It also taught me that with time and hard work, one can achieve incredible...

...An explanation that resonates with 90% of students, may not clarify things for the other 10%. Part of being a good tutor requires me to identify many alternate routes to explanation, should the more common ones not work well. This interests me greatly, as it broadens my own understanding of the topics in math and physics I find so interesting. An added bonus is being able to help someone meet their classroom goals. I recently...

...math at all levels and mostly focus on math, but can also cover theoretical CS, programming in Java & C, and basic physics. I've tutored students in high school through the math honor society, and continued tutoring in college through the Office of Multi-Ethnic Student Education. My long term plan after graduation is to enter grad school, get a PhD in math, and eventually become a math professor, researching and lecturing throughout the whole process.
