Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors in Raleigh-Durham, NC

...the past two years, I worked with a number of students to help prepare them for college in the United States. Even though I tutor a wide range of subjects, I enjoy teaching English and standardized test preparation the most. I love helping my students find beauty in the English language in addition to helping them achieve their college goals. I also love working with students on their college essays because that's when I feel...

...and a college level. Ever since my undergraduate career, I knew I had a talent in teaching others what I know. As per recommendation from my professors, I started as a supplemental instructor for college chemistry-CHEM 1251! It was such a wonderful experience working with other students and helping them achieve their goals in mastering chemistry! After that, I was hooked! I continued as a SI leader for most of my undergrad. My tutoring style...

I am a lover of learning, especially mathematics. I believe students learn best from people they like, so I always make it a point to build relationships with students and treating them with respect and dignity. I also believe that students learn through different means, so I differentiate instruction to meet the needs of the students. I look forward to meeting all of the wonderful students who want to learn math in exciting way and...

My favorite subjects to tutor include writing, math, and economics. I also tutor...

...last year and we are enjoying it. I had some tutoring experience before but nothing formal. I helped some students in high school level in the mathematics and physics subject. Cause these are the subject I feel more comfortable with. I have a very visual and interactive approach with regards to tutoring.

I have been tutoring for 5 years, and I enjoy seeing students make progress in their studies. I'm very patient and I make math fun. I know I'm doing my job when a student reaches his or her "aha" moment. I have tutored a variety of subjects, mainly math and science, though I have also tutored students in Reading.... I like to get to know my students. I want to know hobbies and interest. I want to know their weaknesses and strengths. If I know who my student is, I believe I will know how to teach him or her effectively.

...exceptional academic performance, family friends and members of my local church would often ask me to tutor their children, a request I would grant as much as my schedule allowed. My professional experience with tutoring only began in college, when I was hired as a teaching assistant for the Duke TIP summer program. After graduation, I worked for an international test prep company for two years. In addition to teaching classes on the SAT, ACT,...

...a major in religious studies, but I have been tutoring since 2002, concentrating on math, the SAT, and writing. I believe each student is capable of wonderful things, both academically and otherwise, and that education is much broader than simply attending school. Some of the qualities I aim for as a tutor are patience, encouragement, and helping students examine difficulties with respect for their own abilities, which they usually underestimate. In addition to lots of...

...concept for the first time, especially when they feel they discovered it themselves. I personally increased my ACT score by 5 points through self-study and love to coach others through the test. I consider myself a patient and helpful tutor. I am a strong writer and enjoy offering my suggestions and editing others' essays and papers. Outside of school and work, I enjoy reading, politics, anything to do with Latin America, hiking,and running half marathons.

...can do to improve their academic success is to get to know their own style of learning. Systems that work for some people are a disaster for others, and the key is to find one that is suited to you. I believe in trying out a variety of learning approaches and adapting to what works best for each student. I am organized, curious, and relentless in my enthusiasm for sharing ideas, especially about government, law,...

...Masters. My experience working with students has expanded since my undergraduate studies. I volunteered with a program in Florida to help increase English language literacy to children of migrant workers, and I currently volunteer at a charter school to provide one-on-one support to children who struggle with math and reading. While I enjoy helping students at all levels become independent learners, I have the most experience with 1st through 3rd grade math and reading, and...

...to face the endless standardized tests and leave the battle in victory, not resignation. I've been speaking French since I was old enough to read and I have a Russian heritage that can help out with colloquialisms and grammar. Languages and linguistics are fascinating to me and I don't get to speak mine enough, so please speak them with me! My physics background, as well as my years of teaching, means I know a disturbing...

As an aspiring dentist, I am currently working towards getting a dental degree. During my undergraduate career, I had several experiences of helping other students with learning materials and quiz/exam preparation. I am excited to have another opportunity to help other students...

I tutor purely because I enjoy it. Education has opened up so many doors for me, and this is largely because I was fortunate to have some amazing teachers growing up who made learning fun (or at the very least not miserable). My goal is to do the same for each one of the students who I work with, and find ways to make even the most abstract concepts or complex math problems "click" in...

...ways, and review the building blocks that the student needs to complete the tasks at hand. We'll work together so that your student gains skills and confidence. I've enjoyed working with preschoolers to middle schoolers, and high school students are a great group to interact with. Everyone has their own energy and personal story they bring to a relationship, so I can say I do not prefer one age group over another.... All things are possible! Students acquire knowledge at different rates and in different ways. Mastering material takes a dedication of focused time and practice. Neuroscience shows cramming is not adequate for retention and practice helps instill patterns of success. Many students understand more concepts than what they give themselves credit. They just need a guide to help them see their strengths, answer their questions, and encourage their confidence.
