Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in Bridgeport, CT

...it is important that each student identifies the reason that he or she is studying for. Once that goal is vividly envisioned by the student, he or she will find enjoyment and satisfaction in understanding and applying new concepts as the student progresses towards his or her goal one step at a time. After we gain some momentum, it is simply a matter of time before the student masters each mathematical concept. I teach and...

...developing materials, reporting on progress, and managing educational time. I love playing with my three children and working with them. I like to keep up with my own reading and writing when I can, and I also volunteer to teach SAT mathematics (a subject in which I have a geeks need to study and learn more about all the time!).

...don't even really notice it, they're just... on. There is no short cut, no revelatory moment. Everything is a process. Learning is a process. And because I believe that, I also believe that anyone can learn to do anything as long as he or she puts in the time. The only way I got better at writing is by writing more. And writing about the things that matter to me (which was and is basketball)....

...currently have a 3.90 GPA. I tutor Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Calculus 2. My favorite one to teach is algebra because I believe it is the foundation where everything comes from.

As an aspiring engineer, I see applications of mathematics on the daily and I would love to...

...I have also prepared lesson plans, conducted experiments, prepared and administered weekly exams and midterms, and had control over an entire class as a substitute teacher. These experiences have enhanced my ability to assess what a student needs on an individual level and provide the proper approach to overcoming their stumbling blocks.

When I am not focusing my time on teaching, you can find me at a dance class, hanging out with my three brothers, or simply relaxing at the beach with a good book.

...up in a high-performing school district where many of my peers were able to excel without putting forth any effort. Meanwhile, I was spending countless hours reading, drilling flash cards, and reworking problems without receiving the same results. School just never came naturally for me, and I often felt incompetent, unmotivated and embarrassed to ask for help. Thankfully, I had wonderful teachers, mentors, and tutors along the way that helped me master the strategies and...

...subjects, one should not just memorize the steps to do the problems but rather embrace the concepts to learn the material inside out. As leisure, I watch a few T.V. shows that interest me and play video games. However, I mainly play sports such as basketball and volleyball and I’m very passionate about both sports because these sports teach many eternal lessons that I will carry through my life such as teamwork and dedication.

...way that they are. Over the course of my tutoring career I have found this approach to be far more effective in the long run. If you give a students a robust base of knowledge and the tools to build off of it, you empower them to learn new topics by themselves, tackle test questions that they haven't seen before, and leave them with broadly applicable skills that will help them long after their class...
