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

...a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Math. In my experience helping students (elementary-college), Math always seems to be a subject where students have a mental block. It is always a pleasure to get through that block and break (seemingly) complex problems into their parts and then watch the student work through the problem on their own. I am a strong believer in continued learning throughout life and try to instill this...

...a student's level of ability and interest, creating lesson plans, classroom management, assessing student progress, and motivating students to learn. As part of this training, I paid several visits to high schools where I performed student observation, taught lessons in mathematics and computer science, communicated with students and their parents, supervised students outside the classroom, and counseled students for college and careers. I benefited greatly from these experiences; they helped me to improve my teaching...

School has been a major part of my life and I grew up enjoying all of the different subjects I learned. Math, however, has been my favorite by far. I want to help others enjoy subjects like math and science and I hope to make a difference in their lives.

I recently received my Master of Business Administration degree from The University of Texas at Tyler. I also have a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from The University of Texas at Arlington and an Applied Science degree in Mortuary Sciences.

...the country and am now retired and working as a certified tutor in College Algebra at a junior college. I have worked for Sylvan (both in their centers and online) and Huntington Learning Center.

But I have also finished a gig as a GED teacher, so I also can...

...should correspond with their learning style. It is important for educators of any capacity (including tutors) to guide student understanding with explicit instruction, modeling, questioning, guided and independent practice; however, it is equally important to also provide students the learning opportunities to creatively solve novel problems using basic knowledge, concepts and skills in an effort to challenge them and extend their mastery of the material. My experience as a teacher and tutor allowed me the...

In my perspective I think education is a very important stage in our lives, which will open lots of opportunities for us and our kids to leading us and them to bright future.

...received a Doctor of Osteopathy degree from the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed my residency in New York City. Although I primarily tutor math and science subjects, I have a broad range of interests including sports, music, art, literature, history, movies, and even television shows. In addition to extensive personal travel in both the United States and abroad, I was an exchange student at Sheffield University in England during college. All of these...

...school level Chemistry. My clients can expect a lot of practice problems and drills when working with me because it's my philosophy that there's only a certain amount that you can learn through rote memorization. Discovering what you don't know, mastering it, and being able to apply what you know is what gives rise to more complete understanding and ultimately what scores points on tests. In my free time I enjoy watching and playing baseball,...

...patient teacher and look forward to make mathematical problem solving understandable to the best of my ability. I also play the violin for a hobby, and had at least a decade of experience playing. I have achieved concertmaster positions for many concerts and gave lessons to middle school students. I was accepted in the TMEA All Region Philharmonic Orchestra back in 2007 through blind life auditioning and qualified to audition for All State as well....

...if, for some reason, I am somewhat rusty or unfamiliar with a particular subject, I can use the AVID method to draw upon what the student already knows, ask pertinent and engaging questions, keep the student focused and on task, and guide the student to reach the conclusion fairly independently. Since I’ve recently graduated high school (2015), most of the material is still relatively fresh in my mind. At most, I’ll need a quick refresher...

...experience tutoring. For the duration of my spring semester of my sophomore year, I tutored at a low-income public school on the western side of Dallas. I made sure the students understood by making them feel comfortable with not understanding a concept. By establishing this comfort, I was able to get honest responses when a topic or idea was not understood. My favorite subjects to teach are upper level maths, because you can build on...

...pursue my Masters as well. Since 2012, I have been tutoring students in Garland ISD from seventh graders to seniors in the AVID program, where we use the Socratic Method to tutor. I normally tutor math and science subjects but my favorite subject to tutor is geometry. To me, geometry is exciting and so much fun which I hope to transfer that same excitement to my all students about math. Outside of tutoring students, I...

...career path that does not require much beyond arithmetic and science-related math. Tutoring keeps math in my life, which is awesome! I also love tutoring because I love to teach. The best part about teaching (besides using math) is the relationships with my students. I have consistently built great relationships with my students to the point where my students and I not only have a special understanding of each other's capabilities and learning/teaching strategies, but...

...two people are alike, so there is no blanket approach to teach. I want to make my lessons fun and engaging, but also be excited about the lesson so that students can also be excited about the subject. I want my students to do the thinking, instead of telling them what they should know. Objectives are stickier stickier when the lesson is something that the student can relate to. I am no-nonsense, but I also...

...Organic Chemistry, Microbiology, and Ecology. These roles required me to lead weekly on-campus study sessions with other students in the classes and interactively review course material. Prior to each session, I met with the professor to discuss methods I would implement in order to promote the success of fellow peers. Because I grew up with a brother who has a significant learning disability, teaching is something that I've come to value on a personal level....

My goal for every student is to be thorough and efficient. I strive to help them understand what they need to know in a timely manner. I believe that every student is capable to understanding what they are learning if they are given individual attention....
