Award-Winning Math Tutors for Students in Nashville, TN

...teach almost every math class, and I have designed my own curriculum. This gives me a lot of opportunities to try out new and exciting ways to present information. Many of my students are non-traditional learners, whether they have learning differences, anxiety, ADHD, and/or are just outside-the-box thinkers. I have worked with math learners from elementary to high school in all areas of mathematics. My goal in life is to get previously frustrated or unhappy...

...time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I...

This includes being a loving, motivating, supporting, fun, and integral educator who will make a positive contribution to each student.

Reaching this objective will directly reflect in the progression of their academic success.... My teaching philosophy is...

...Administrators, educators and parents helped me become aware of great teaching principles, which I learned to apply. Those acquired skills helped me enhance the academic and character opportunities for each student. In 1998, I was chosen "Teacher of the Year," by my colleagues. The most significant goal I reached as a teacher, is that which I saw in teachers before me- the reward of seeing a child attempt, practice and achieve a desired goal. "Successful...

...Hannah, and I can't wait to meet you! I have been teaching elementary aged students for 5 years and have loved helping my students succeed. I went to Pensacola Christian College in Florida and earned a teaching degree in Elementary Education. Teaching and helping students is one of my favorite things to do. Learning doesn't always have to be so rigorous . . . it can be fun!!! I look forward to helping you reach...

...Beyond that, I'm an open-minded fun dude that finds it easy to relate to just about anyone I meet: I am a "jock": through high school (and as hobbies now) I played football, basketball, hockey, golf, and lacrosse. I am a "nerd": Worked in computer programming, love video games, obsessed w Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Star Wars. I am "artsy": I paint, draw, dabble in photography / videography, and work professionally as a...

...have been fortunate to do so many places, including England, France, and California. Finding that the lessons I most remember in life are the ones I discover for myself, I try to guide a student to their own discoveries with questions instead of statements. Not surprisingly, writing is my favorite subject to tutor, but I also have an affinity for math. I think balance is important in life and math's straightforward, organized nature can be...

...to their primary instruction. I have a diverse educational background and am currently completing my JD/MBA. Prior to coming to Emory for Grad School, I graduated in 3 years from the University of Central Florida. While I enjoy learning now, that wasn't always the case and I am very sympathetic to students who find some subjects to be particularly taxing. I understand what it feels like to be frustrated and feel like you will never...

...want to think about. My goal is to help you plan out your studies so that you can maximize your potential with the minimum amount of work. Sometimes it's hard for some teachers to break down a complex topic for burgeoning learners because they themselves approach it from a higher level and can't think at a low enough level. After a year of science outreach in high-need Nashville public schools, I've found that I have...

...students' perspective. I try to anticipate the types of questions a student might have, and answer them to the best of my abilities. I also try to teach the same material using different learning styles to make sure my students fully understand the concepts. I like to play Tennis and Ultimate Frisbee during my free time. I play intramural Tennis and club Ultimate Frisbee at University of Tennessee. I also like to read, paint, and...

In spite of a fun personality (and being told I look much younger than my 40-some years) I am also skilled at keeping students on track and focused in order to make the most productive use of our time. Relevant skills and attributes include being easy to work with, reliable, friendly, patient and kind. I genuinely care about the individual learners I have the privilege to work with and...

...to look but not tell you what to see." I firmly believe that empowering students and giving them the tools to be successful on their own is the best gift they can receive. Most of my experience is in high school teaching; however, I have worked with students in early intervention, preschool, kindergarten, elementary school, and middle school. I love math and English, but I have taught all subjects and am confident in all of...

...up to 15 students at a time. I currently work as an environmental educator for Plano ISD, leading classes of up to 10 students of ages 6-12.

...my freshman year, and from then on I absolutely fell in love with teaching, math in particular. I have found the greatest satisfaction in teaching when I can watch my students have the "a-ha!" moment when they finally understand something. It gives me both joy that I was able to help them and joy that they were able to succeed. I know what it is like to work hard through problems and I know what...

I graduated with a 4.25 GPA and went on to obtain my Bachelor's degree in Psychology and French after four...

...I have tutored in just about all academic areas but my favorite is math and just about anything to do with numbers. My teaching philosophy is that the teacher serves as a guide while learning is primarily the work of the student. I take the tutoring approach of starting with the students strengths and building on them in order to apply them to their weaknesses. Outside of academia, I enjoy music, sports and pop culture.

...my overall success in academia. My tutoring background includes a position on the Peer Tutoring Committee of my high school, and the role of a Teaching Assistant at Vanderbilt University. These positions have allowed me to improve my ability to articulate concepts to other students. During my time in high school, I took numerous AP examinations, PSAT, SAT and ACT. I also participated in test prep courses which gave me insight into standardized test taking...

I organize and run two academic journal clubs, one of which focuses on teaching the foundations of research and neuroscience to undergraduate college students. Beginning in 2014, I have continued to volunteer as a mentor to students interested in the applied sciences. Outside of work, I am a classically trained percussionist who...
