Award-Winning Data Structures Tutors serving Palo Alto, CA

...in their classes. Initially, I found this difficult; it was a challenge determining exactly where a student's understanding of a topic was faulty. Over time, however, I developed a keener sense for the hurdles that students sometimes face when learning, as well as the most efficient ways to overcome them. I also developed more patience and empathy through tutoring - I often remembered feeling the same confusion about a topic that my students were feeling...

...& Computer Engineering. I tutor in most stem fields and high school level and below English and Spanish. My favorite subject to tutor is chemistry because it was my favorite subject in school.

Outside of school and work, I enjoy watching The Flash and playing the Sims 4. I also enjoy reading...

...fact of the matter is unless a student has always struggled in mathematics since kindergarten, they can achieve a perfect or near perfect score on the SAT/ACT mathematics section. The only traits that are required are a high level of expectations as well as the desire and effort to achieve those expectations. When it comes to solving problems, I will always ask the student on how they would solve a particular problem. Their answers can...

...best educators. One educator, whose book I read and found inspiring, was Rafe Esquith. I didn't necessarily agree with everything he said, but there were some things I found inspirational and helpful for tutoring myself, such as focusing on wrong answers to questions and the logic it took to get the answer wrong in that way, to be aware of the road to avoid so as to avoid it more easily. Q: Can you describe...

...the "design thinking" framework for creative problem solving pioneered by the international design firm IDEO. While typically used in startups to develop new innovations, I've found it extremely handy in tutoring. Every student is different and so are their difficulties, so a finite set of ways to present a concept or tackle a difficulty is potentially limiting. In my experience, it's much more effective to use an adaptive framework like design thinking to identify the...

...on the side. Top ACT and SAT scores earned me a scholarship at the University of Miami, where I was able to develop a newfound love for the fine arts.

...these courses, by using online study tools such as videos and developing effective routines. I understand how frustrating it feels to spend so much time struggling to learn a topic and I also know how applying the right strategies to learning can make all the difference. For example, strategies such as close question analyzation can help students to mentally digest complex problems and help them assess the tools they can use to solve them. I...

...also see the positive results and outcome of the student. I believe mathematics has suffered as an attractive discipline by failing to be inclusive of mathematicians and students of all races, ethnicities, genders, personalities, and socioeconomic and educational backgrounds. In my capacity as a tutor, I hope to help students overcome their internal stereotypes of "Math is a black beast, and I have never been good at it," and discover their own abilities. To this...

I have a passion for helping others understand material that is difficult or foreign...

...That went splendidly (not!), for a year, before I retreated to Technical Writing. For several years, first drafts were always painful, but revisions were kind of fun... rewarding, even. Then I learned to outline. After a while I could more easily wrangle with the the words. I have also worked with computers since olden times, even before the internet... even before the PC. We used to call them "confusers", but I've always loved them. I...

...in a low-income area with staffing issues, so I regularly had classmates who were behind and had little help. Additionally, my high school offered little and weak computer science coursework for students. Because of that, from the get-go, I had to get used to teaching myself material and sharing that knowledge with my classmates whom I would tutor in groups. That experience has always been positive for me and I hope you'll have the same...

...turned that fact into strength! It did not matter whether others outpaced me. It did not matter whether someone understood it better than I did. All I had to do was defeat myself; the part of my identity that kept me from my dreams. This is my teaching philosophy. I believe everyone is the same way.
