Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in Gilbert, AZ

...ages between 8th grade to adults returning to college. I try to focus on helping students overcome the difficulties that prevent them from participating in their classes, and encourage them to be more independent. Most often these difficulties often range from inexperienced study skills, insufficient time for classwork, long absence from school, and deficiencies in prerequisite material. Personally, I like math. I'm fascinated by the different fields and the history of how people solve new...

...I can use to describe myself. From the ancient Greek, it means "lover of discourse" which I also translate to mean "lover of learning." As a philolexian, I believe that I can learn just as much from my students as I can teach them. However, there is nothing that excites me more than to inspire and guide students on their path to academic success and achieving higher education. A little bit about my background. I...

...tutors more than the teachers. For that same reason, I would like to help students feel comfortable working with me in the long-term for subjects like algebra, trigonometry, and geometry. But also, for short-term goals such as ACT test prep. I've taken the exam and know exactly how to help students perform well. I tutor students in a way that is fun, helpful, but also logical. Students learn best when subjects are broken down into...

...a tutor and citizen, I strongly support the importance of education because of its ability to empower and improve people's lives. I have made it a priority of mine to tutor in my community as it allows me the opportunity to give back to the students of Phoenix. Given my affinity for problem solving, mathematics teaching, character development and building personal relationships, I am a great candidate to help you progress your learning and advance...

...Previously, I went to BASIS Chandler, where I tutored students who needed help. I tutored Microeconomics, French, and Math (up to Calculus AB). My favorite subject to tutor is mathematics and Biology. Mathematics has a broad range of problems that are applicable in real life. Biology is a fascinating subject because it is the building blocks for life. Once you understand Biology, you will understand the way everything is connected in the world. My teaching...

...academic studies. As a Mathematics major at the University of Arizona (currently a junior), I have extensive experience teaching and tutoring: I have been a teacher's assistant for a Calculus II section at my university and have spent a great deal of time assisting students with non-math related subjects as well such as English and essay-writing, time management and study skills techniques, and standardized test prep (SAT). I take pride in being well-rounded. Even though...

...business focus. At Rice I was a student/athlete representing the Division I Owls in track and field. After several years experience voluntarily tutoring friends and family members I became a professional private tutor my junior year of college. My senior year, I took advantage of the opportunity to reach more students, creating a small private tutoring company in Houston in which I served as lead tutor and conducted all business operations. After graduating from college,...

...been a tutor my whole life. I love helping people to grasp new concepts and see that light bulb go off in their head. Knowing the joy of tutoring I have helped multiple classmates, friends, acquaintances, and family members in almost every subject. I now tutor people in math, chemistry, and anatomy. Math, however, is my favorite subject to tutor. There is nothing more rewarding than helping someone finally realize the difference between sine and...

...and the thrill of finding the hidden patterns in numbers and shapes has always been a favorite past time of mine. Though it may not seem related, the ability that I developed through math of being able to search for patterns has helped me tremendously in my endeavors to learn the sciences. Why? Because when it all boils down, life and science are nothing but a series of complex patterns that play out over and...

...applied to the real world. I enjoy all of these subjects, but I understand they can be hard to a lot of student without one on one help. That's where I come in. I tutor math, science, social studies, reading comprehension, and test prep so that I can bring my passion for learning to students who aren't getting the help they need in the classroom. I have experience tutoring students from 13 to college age...

...it makes me so proud! I am very much a people person which helps me reach all the students I teach, whether adult or child. I am an Arizona Certified teacher with a valid fingerprint clearance card. I grew up and went to high school in the Philadelphia area and then attended the University of Arizona where I earned a degree in Political Science. I earned my Master's degree in Education Leadership and Administration at...

...in the group. I enjoyed helping them learn new concepts, and different ways to think about problems in order to get them to understand them better and succeed in their classes. Sometime during my college years I signed up with a tutoring company in which I was able to tutor online, which gave me more experience in dealing with different kinds of people that needed my help. Thanks to these experiences I believed I am...

...of students in any subject that had anything to do with Mechanical Engineering. I have experience tutoring students with extremely different learning styles and I've learned to adapt to each in turn. I graduated in 2012 with a 4.0 in Mechanical Engineering from ASU and currently work full time, but I miss tutoring. So I'm back at it. My favorite subjects to tutor are Physics 1 & 2, Calc I, II , III, and Differential...

...I am originally from Chicago and completed my bachelor degree at Michigan State University. I majored in Education and minored in ESL and English. I also have a specialization in urban education and have completed almost half of my masters degree through MSU. I love working with students and helping them achieve more then they thought they could. I love tutoring students in reading because I have a huge passion for it. I believe that...

...Biology can constantly be found all around us and presents itself in so many fantastic and incredible ways. I am quite proudly known in social circles as a "Nerd", mainly for my spontaneous placement of scientific tid-bits in otherwise ordinary conversation. I believe that every person's learning style is as unique as their fingerprint; so needless to say some of us can get left behind in class. Math and science require a significant amount of...

...dramatically. More than just adding to the cumulative knowledge of the past, some would say that information is increasing at an exponential rate. Currently, students are being asked to absorb this information; often without a proper structure or guidance as to how this can be accomplished. Having already made this journey myself, I am very excited to join Varsity Tutors and to help motivated students in their quest for a meaningful role within society.

...in Educational Leadership from Northern Arizona University. I am currently gearing toward a Masters in History. I have over twenty-seven years of experience as a classroom teacher, and have also been a tutor during that time. I have taught middle school mathematics, science, psychology as an elective, and social studies, which is my favorite subject. In social studies, I teach history (U.S. or World), Civics and Geography. I also tutor all the subjects mentioned, and...

...how to deal with unique challenges in a standardized system. It would be my pleasure to help others experiencing similar difficult situations. I have been a paraprofessional in Math classes on a high-school level (where I was in charge of lesson plans and teaching from grades 9-12), a private tutor for 10 years (elementary, middle, high school, and university levels, including special needs students), a teaching assistant at Arizona State University, where I taught groups...

As a tutor I believe it is my job to not only help you with your homework, but to also help you learn the core material. If something does not make sense, let us go back until it does, and then progress from there. I also enjoy making the subject matter fun, and if that is not possible, at the very least relatable. ... I like to go back to underlying concepts that they already understand...
