Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in Georgetown, TX

...a year of graduating from MSU started my first company (I am now on my second). I have always valued education but at times saw that teaching methods did not adapt appropriately to the student. There is more than one way to learn material. Because of that I hope to spend some time with students, helping them get the test scores that will allow them to get into their dream school. Throughout my high school...

...the advice, "Don't make that mistake!". The teacher tries to hear what the student wants and then figures what to work on in order to get there. I've been both a student and teacher of guitar, and I try to take that teaching style into my tutoring. I never start by explaining material or by "simplifying" it (because that usually means repeating it again and again!) but by listening to the student and finding out...

...hope to influence my students to adopt this same passion for learning so that they are motivated to continue learning new material during their high school and college years.

My biggest priority is meeting the educational needs of my students in any way possible, and I strive to meet this goal...

...have worked with college students struggling in early mathematics courses such as trigonometry, algebra and elementary statistics. While at my university I also worked with adult students pursuing a GED. Ultimately, mathematics is not about memorizing formulas but about the logical process of arriving at a conclusion. Ideally, my job will consist of reminding the student of the tools at their disposal and they will make the leap themselves towards their desired answer. This ability...

...a senior preceptor for different classes at UT Austin during my undergraduate years. I understand that books can be hard to decipher quite often due to the lack of tone and author's preconceived notions about the student's background. Therefore, when I tutor I build the framework from the ground up and depend a lot on visual aids (diagrams and charts) rather than formulas and numbers. I believe that there is no such thing as a...

...creative thesis, which ultimately resulted in a cookbook/memoir about American women, (such as my grandmother) in the kitchen. I love to write, and love helping students write as creatively as possible within the parameters of their schoolwork. I’m committed to making learning as fun and enjoyable. Having been an occasionally reluctant learner, I believe that most people are happiest when they feel that they’re learning independently, and are empowered enough to make their education their...

...school students for the American Regional Math League (ARML) and Math Olympiad competition. I am very familiar with helping high school students study for the SAT, new SAT, SATII Math, ACT, and Calculus AB/BC. I also tutored undergraduates in Linear Algebra, ODEs, and Numerical Analysis when I was at UCD. My Ecology knowledge is a lot deeper than general Biology, but I am currently studying for the GRE Biology subject test. My Biology understanding and...

...with a B.A. in Economics and Psychology. Through the classes I took, I became interested in learning and motivation. I believe that education is extremely important, but learning should also be fun!

...in grade level (K-8th) exhibiting a wide spectrum of skill levels from struggling to gifted, coming from both low-income and affluent communities. My belief though is that all children have the capacity to learn though at a unique rate that must be met and understood. My approach to teaching a new skill and assisting struggling students is to first establish an appreciation for its "real-world" application and then to break down the concept into "step-by-step"...
