Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in Philadelphia, PA

...I have highlighted some of these experiences in the following paragraph. During my undergraduate years, I worked as a TA in both the "Introduction to Biology" and "Biochemistry" courses, where I was responsible for both private and group tutoring. While earning my doctorate in Medical School, I employed myself as an MCAT tutor, providing educational tutoring as well as test-taking and time-management skills coaching. As a medical intern, one responsibility consisted of simultaneously directing the...

...get to that "light bulb" moment. I believe that it is important to get to know each student in order to motivate them to succeed. Providing students with examples that make sense to them and apply to their lives is so important and necessary for success. I've been passionate about helping students for as long as I can remember. I always wanted to play school with my younger brothers! I'm looking forward to working with...

...school students in reading and math in the Philadelphia area. Prior to my experience tutoring in Philadelphia, I ran an online writing program teaching essential writing skills to elementary school students and served as an Algebra I instructor at a local community center. I enjoy tutoring math up to Algebra 2, SAT Math, and editing essays (including college essays) because helping students build math foundations that will help them for the rest of their life...

Hi, my name is Elle. I'm a recent graduate of Vassar College with my BA in English and Psychology, and I'm working to bridge the achievement and opportunity gap in the American education system. I believe all children deserve the opportunity to reach their full potential as students and I hope to help them do so through tutoring.

...to help them achieve a level of success with their academics. I like to use a multi-model approach to tutoring which includes your typical paper and pencil work, computer based learning tools, hands on strategies and discussion based learning. I believe for a student to remain engaged and active in their own learning they have to enjoy it to some degree. The teaching has to be interesting, engaging and have some level of fun tied...

...of Music Education and Saxophone Performance in 2000. After several years of military service and teaching, I completed a Master of Science in Anatomy and Clinical Health Science from the University of Delaware in 2014. I have tutored basic math, algebra, geometry, trigonometry and calculus, as well as anatomy and physiology. My philosophy of teaching is to constantly seek to connect with the student at a level of familiarity and comfort. Each person has a...

...Since then, I have done several field placements as part of my education courses and also taught in my own classrooms for two summer enrichment programs. One of the things that these experiences have taught me is that every student learns differently. Unfortunately, in a large classroom situation, it is not always possible to give each student the individual attention that they need to achieve. This is why I think tutoring is so important. I...

...and students of various ages and abilities. While working on my Masters of Arts in Teaching degree I student taught in kindergarten and third grade, and have since completed long term substitute teaching assignments in second, fourth and fifth grades. With my experience in multiple grade levels, I feel that I have built a good repertoire to refer back to while working with students of every age and ability level. In addition to my work...

...bachelor of science in Mathematics! I love math, because as Kady explains in Mean Girls, I like math because it is the same in every country. I know a lot of people hate math, and I am here to try to change their minds...math is really great if you give it a try. I have tutored throughout high school and college my tutoring style involves being patient and going at your pace. Outside of academia,...

...5+ years tutoring, I have seen it happen with my students. I can help you perform your best on your math tests, whether it be the SAT or an exam in school. I graduated with a BA in philosophy, was on track to medical school, worked in a corporate setting, and am now a graduate student of theology. I have a very diverse background and a genuine interest in helping people, effectively and efficiently.

...and have also been able to teach in some circumstances. My tutoring experiences began at home and in high school when I tutored my siblings,older family members, and fellow peers. I cannot describe the feeling I get when a student is finally able to achieve a concept, or make great progress in a subject area that proved difficult. I have been able to teach multiple Spanish classes because the Spanish teacher at the school in...

...aced Calculus 7 (...just kidding about that last one). I have taken several graduate-level math courses and plan on continuing my academics by earning a Ph.D. in math education. (If it's not obvious, I have a thing for math.) I was a math tutor at my university for three years. I tutored education majors taking a rigorous mathematics content course. So not only did I tutor math, but I tutored for a course designed to provide...

...I have the knowledge and skills to assist my students with any problems or concerns they may have. I look forward to connecting with my students and assisting each one in reaching their academic goals. Outside of tutoring I like to stay active and I am a huge sports fan. When I am not at the gym or playing sports I will most likely be reading or spending time with family and friends.

My past students and friends say that my face lights up when I start talking about math (especially calculus). Between my Applied Mathematics degree from the University of Rochester and my Eagle Scout award, I have natural passions for mathematics and helping people. Let me combine these passions for you as your future tutor.... My ultimate aim is for my students to master their material. I believe that any person can learn any subject if they...

I have had previous tutoring experience in elementary and high school math, design and English classes. I have worked with various students on their comprehension skills, along with their abilities at problem solving. I graduated in 2012 from Pennsylvania State University with a major in Architecture and a minor in Architectural History.... My goal as a teacher is to reinstate confidence and create a joy from the topic subject so the knowledge can be absorbed fundamentally.

...in my career I gained a certificate in Middle School Math from Drexel University. My experience is vast. I have taught Special Education in a vocational setting for teenagers, Early Intervention for ages 3-6 years of age and have tutored different subjects for the past 2 years. Seeing the look in a student's eyes when they understand a concept is very rewarding. Tutoring subjects that I enjoy is as important to me as the students....

...it has the ability to be evaluated through different perceptions. This is also why, when it comes to tutoring mathematics, I typically work with a student to see how they perceive a problem. To me this is way more important than simply instructing the student in the one way a tutor might know how to go about solving a problem. By taking into account the student's capabilities and understanding of a problem, I can better...

I'm here to help. If you're struggling with math or science, I'll do my best to get you back on track. My goal is to explain the concepts to you in different ways until you truly understand.

...the sciences, I incorporate them into my everyday life and teach with enthusiasm and creativity. I recognize that every student has different styles and rates of learning, so I cater my lessons to best align with each student. I will never ask my students to work beyond their capabilities, but I will strive to show them they are capable of far more than they may initially think. Through providing an interactive and engaging teaching environment,...

I am currently in graduate school at Drexel and will be starting medical school there in the fall. I have tutored for over five years. I have worked with mostly middle and high school students, focusing on math and life sciences. I have had a lot of experience working with students with special needs, especially ADHD. The greatest reward of being a tutor is watching students succeed and find the confidence in themselves.
