Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in Kirkland, WA

I am a college student at Seattle University studying for my BS in Psychology. I love learning and believe that everyone should be allowed the opportunity to engage in the knowledge the universe has to offer. In my spare time, I can be found snuggling my dog, Luxe.

...and I would like to be your tutor. I've been a tutor for 5+ years working with individuals, in groups, online and in person. Most of my time tutoring has been with student who are looking to improve their SAT ACT and SSAT scores but I have also worked with a variety of AP tests. If I were to describe my teaching style, when it comes to standardized tests I'm not someone who likes to...

...Quinnipiac University in Connecticut. I received my Bachelor of Science in Biology with a concentration in molecular/cell biology with departmental honors. I grew up along the sandy beaches and bustling cities of Massachusetts and after college, I decided I wanted to embark on an adventure, so I relocated to Seattle. During my undergraduate career, I tutored college students for three years in math, biology, some chemistry, writing/English, and a myriad of other subjects. Although I...

...take an active role in their education and strive to reach further. As Rudolf Dreikurs said, “The development of a child's potential depends on the ability of the teacher to perceive the child's possibilities, to stimulate the child to learn, and thereby make the child's latent potentiality a reality.” When I taught elementary school in Korea, it quickly became apparent that Korean students were not being taught to question and think for themselves. Students in...

...the impact innovative teachers and mentors can have from a young age. Since undergrad I have tutored in many subjects: math, SAT prep, Spanish, and biology. Spanish is my love; I studied it as an undergraduate and believe that the key to learning anything is understanding how the subject matter fits into the larger picture of your life. If you understand WHY you need to learn something, you have an incentive to learn it. I've...

...civilization behind and enjoy the outdoors. I love camping, hiking, backpacking, and I recently got into rock climbing. As a tutor, I believe it is my job to provide supplemental instruction that is tailored to my students' needs and learning style. Listing to a teacher explain how to solve a math problem is not everybody's favorite way to learn. Sometimes it just takes someone willing to patiently answer any and all questions. Sometimes it requires...

...I taught freshman and sophomore chemistry classes, and I still keep in touch with many of my students. I also previously earned a Bachelor's degree in biochemistry from the University of West Florida. I have lots of experience teaching and tutoring chemistry students of all levels, and I also have done some work in the past with SAT test prep. I know chemistry can be an incredibly challenging subject to tackle, but I hope to...

...Arts in Biology from Johns Hopkins University and a Master of Science in Earth and Space Science from the University of Washington. The research I did for my MS degree focused on Geomicrobiology, which combines Geology, Biology and Chemistry. I love thinking about science and learning how the world works. Studying a topic that combined many different sciences allowed me to spend time learning as much as I could about these fun subjects. During graduate...

...I've also served as an administrative assistant and part time tutor at a tutoring company for two years, aiding students from 4 to 17 in subjects like: SSAT Prep, ACT/SAT prep, and general tutoring. I've also worked with students who have been diagnosed with some form of learning difference. Much of my time with the tutoring company included not only me being responsible with administrative duties, but also the tact to help students find their...

...middle school students throughout high school. I also taught piano and worked as a counselor at a summer camp for elementary aged students so I'd like to say I understand and get along pretty well with them! As for my tutoring style, it varies from student to student. I gauge what works and does not work when it comes to teaching techniques and tailor my approach to best help my student learn. Additionally, I've seen...

...I am working towards getting my Master's in Secondary and Middle Level Teacher Certification M.Ed. My goal is to become a history teacher. I have tutored children K-12 for the Seattle Public Library as a Homework Helper. I have assisted children with their homework assignments in history, math, writing, science, and social studies. As for hobbies, I love to scrapbook, read, watch movies and go sailing. Spending time with my family is my favorite past-time.

...students as young as kindergarten to as experienced as undergraduates in college. I tutor reading, writing, science (physics, chemistry, biology), mathematics (all levels up to calculus), and MCAT preparation. My teaching style revolves around discussion of the material and doing practice problems to test understanding. I am very patient and don't get frustrated easily. Outside of academia, my favorite hobbies are swimming, playing badminton, cooking, and picking up new songs on my ukulele.

...Washington. At UW, I was a Pre-Med student, so I am very familiar with Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and other sciences. I also have spent the past few summers tutoring students in Reading and Writing and am able to help with everything from college essays and writing assignments to skills for standardized tests. I'm happy to work with a range of ages and will do my best to help make sessions as useful as possible.

I recently graduated from the University of Washington's rigorous Mechanical Engineering program. I have over a year of professional tutoring experience. This includes experience with middle school, high school, and college students. It also includes experience tutoring students with various learning disorders and attention/retention issues, as well as students who are very quick to learn.

...programs and other various activities. I have also volunteered through the STEM program partnership with Boeing. I tutor history, geography, English, social studies, and elementary math. My favorite subject to tutor is history because I find it to be a set of fascinating stories that happen to be true. I believe it is important that you must find a way to interest students in what they are learning if you want to engage them in...

...have two published papers and a number of works in progress with professors and professional colleagues at Puget Sound, U of Washington, and Russell Investment Group. Recently, I worked part-time as a rowing coach for Holy Names Academy, an all-girls Catholic school, where I helped young women develop their abilities as nationally competitive athletes. I continue to work with the HNA rowing team on a seasonal basis. I work with students from a wide variety...

...programs. I tutor a variety of science subjects as well as French, my native language, but my favorite subject is biology because I am fascinated by the diversity of adaptations in the living world. I work with students by making concepts relatable to them and explaining how and why things work a certain way, whether it's math problems or biology vocabulary. This approach solidifies concepts that might otherwise fall through the cracks. I believe that...

...children for over eight years. As an elementary school teacher I know the skills and tools children need to be successful. I have experience working with every grade level, as well as students who are learning English and students receiving special education services. Lastly, I truly believe in teaching children skills they need to not only be successful in school, but also in life. I look forward to meeting you and your child soon!

...teacher. The students I have worked with in the past are Gifted and Talented, Dyslexic, Dysgraphic, Anti-Authoritative, ADD/HD, Epileptic, Autistic, English Language Learners, and those with specialized IEPs. I'm also a writer and am working on my second novel as I try to perfect my first. I also edit for other authors. My specialties are English Literature, History, and Writing. I can make the work engaging, but I will admit, I expect a lot from...

...able to adapt to many different situations and educational levels that I am presented with. I also believe that sometimes it takes more than just memorizing the information in order to actually learn a subject; real knowledge is something that is used in everyday life, problems that arise and are able to be solved right then and there is a quality that not many are able to grasp. This is what I like to show...
