Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in Maryland

...biology, particularly subjects like genetics and physiology. My tutoring style is to work through problems or subjects with my student and have him or her explain how they arrived at the answer or point out what they think are important concepts. I do not like to provide the answers to my students without them trying the problem first, because this does not help them grow more confident in the subject. Outside of my academic life,...

...organization, and creativity was developed through the interactive sessions with pupils; many of the activities and lessons were planned, lead, and delivered independently and with input from school teachers.

...instill in them the meaning of underlying concepts when solving any problem. By leading students back to the basic foundation of any subject and then bringing them forward through each advancing level of a given problem, the student will further their ability to reason and to be confident in their abilities.

...are blues and folk. My tutoring sessions start with a short conversation. I find out your goals for the session, and any concerns or challenges you have with the subject matter. Then, using your own materials, my materials, or a combination of the two, we begin to master the content through examples, explanation, modeling, and practice. Between sessions, I will often point the student toward additional resources that can be used in the student's own...

...High school AP course preparation. My passion stems from the desire to help students achieve their educational and personal goals.

In my spare time I volunteer...

Due to my personal love of reading, writing, and analytical thinking, I strive daily to keep my mind engaged and challenged through the constant consumption of information from several sources. These passions outside of academia prove to be my ultimate resource within academia, allowing me the ability to cultivate and cherish bonds between topics and fields that appear to be worlds apart from one another. I yearn to learn all there is about...

...tutoring experiences include tutoring in my undergraduate university's Math Workshop. During that time I was promoted to Head Tutor. I tutored anything from basic and foundation math skills to Calculus 2. I also taught Middle School Mathematics and 5th Grade Math.

I've been teaching, tutoring, and helping people develop their potential and skills since I was seventeen, when I began sharing Shakespeare with children. I've worked with students from preschool to adult, in settings from community centers, churches, and university. I delight in seeing someone master a concept and increase their self-esteem.

Thanks to one-on-one help in middle and high school, I not only achieved stronger grades/test scores, but gained the confidence I will continue to use even beyond graduate school.

Once it seems like a student has a pretty strong understanding of a subject, I like to play competitive or timed games. It...

...assumptions about a student's needs, which I believe is critical to their success. The advantage of tutoring versus a large classroom setting is that I can direct lessons to your child's particular struggles and abilities. I will always begin a tutoring relationship by asking students where they feel they need assistance and together we will develop a plan for success. I am someone who likes to have fun, but not waste the time and resources...
