Award-Winning Computer Science Tutors in Phoenix, AZ

...to tutor their children for the SATs and the LSAT. More and more people asked me to tutor their children, so I contacted Varsity tutors to extend my reach to people who did not know me personally. My style is energetic and engaging. As a trial attorney, I routinely have to communicate complex matters to a jury that has no experience in the fields of chemistry, biology and physics. This forces me to adopt an...

...teaching skills while I was a graduate student at San Francisco State University for which I even received an honor of outstanding physics teaching assistant from San Francisco State University. I was also a math instructor for a Summer Bridge program at San Francisco state University where my responsibility was to teach first year college algebra. I have tutored kids in the age group of 8 to 15 in the subject areas of science and...

...enjoy teaching students and seeing the direct impact it has on their life. I want to help students achieve their short-term and long-term academic goals. My philosophy in teaching is to foster an environment that encourages and motivates students to learn effectively. Additionally, I want to ensure that they have the proper tools to master new concepts and skills on their own. Learning to learn is an important skill to possess, and one that requires...

...plans are to continue in the field of education one day as a professor of either history or education. With my vast classroom experience I am very good at assessing student needs and responding accordingly. I believe each person learns in a unique style, and it is the responsibility of the teacher/tutor to identify that style and make accommodations in his/her instructional approach. It is this individualized approach that makes tutoring so fun and exciting.

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. I am also bilingual since Spanish is my first language. I can read, speak, and write in Spanish very well and that is another tool I have at my...

...have found that small victories win wars. Outside of education, I am an avid hiker. I live in one of the greatest states to do it in and I plan on exploring all over. Outside of hiking, I enjoy travelling, beer surfing, couch surfing, and karaoke. If I am not out doing something, I am then snuggled up reading a good book or watching a great movie. I find that people who forget to take...

...normally inspire drawn out yawns and shivering fear at the seemingly unattainable knowledge held within them. However, I think they are just very misunderstood, and that when properly addressed can reveal a whole new and exciting world for so many people. Especially for students trying to figure out what they want in life! I've done some really interesting research at ASU. Before that though, believe it or not, I was dead set on becoming a...

...of Science in Architectural Engineering. I'm fairly new to formal tutoring but I've been helping my five children with their homework for the last 18 years. I consider math and science my favorite subjects, with physics being one of my most favorite. When I'm coaching a student, I believe in a very tailored approach which encourages and strengthens the knowledge and skills that a student has and then adds the information that is needed to...

...of disconnected facts is not the correct way to teach a subject that involves active reasoning and problem solving. My students learn best when I teach them how to ask questions. For example, one student setup an appointment with me asking me how to draw a ray diagram depicting a convex lens forming an image. I did not just tell him Heres what it looks like. No. I asked him questions and led him through...

...in education from Grand Canyon University and a Bachelor of Arts in Education from Arizona State University. Experience in tutoring extends from being the Saturday school coordinator at my local high school, to working with at-risk students in a credit recovery setting at an online night school. Other than teaching and tutoring, I enjoy relaxing by spending time with my wife, playing video games, and cheering on the Green Bay Packers and Phoenix Suns.
