Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in Rockville, MD

...be born into destitute circumstances, but with their education can rise above their situation. One of the only things that a child should not have to earn is their right to knowledge. Education is a human right. Every single child should be fully equipped to chose their own path in life. Every student under my tutelage will be given access to the best I have to share so that they can make their own future.

I currently am a Master's of Science degree candidate at Johns Hopkins University. I have experience tutoring in a variety of environments ranging from elementary schools to the Baltimore City Prison. Given this, I can adapt well to the needs of the tutee. I prefer teaming up with my students to arrive at solutions. I feel this allows the student to behave more comfortably, and in turn,...

...main focus. One can not build if there is no foundation, which is the mentality where instructors meet students where they are and build from what the student knows. Whether it is due to class size, student confidence or even the general lack of understanding tutors can act as buffer in such situations that affect the student's' overall education. In tutoring, as for many other instructional based programing, such situations can arise, but the general...

...decided that tutoring would be a great idea for me as teaching has always been one of my dreams. I tutor Algebra, Elementary and Middle School Math, Pre-Algebra, Trigonometry, AP Chemistry, IB Chemistry, and Chemistry. The most important part of tutoring is to make sure we start at the beginning and work our way through the harder portions. When I am not doing research or tutoring, I am always baking or brewing up homemade bath...

...students do well in their own experiences. I love to travel and experience new things, and I love to integrate my experiences into my learning and my life. I have some tutoring experience, having worked with two fourth-grade aged children on their English skills, including grammar, spelling, essay writing, and other subjects encompassed within a language arts class. I am however comfortable teaching math, history, and especially the sciences, including biology, psychology, and basic chemistry...

...people of all ages, both formally and informally. Among many experiences, I've taught SAT prep in a classroom setting, willed a friend in high school to pass his AP Physics exam by studying with him every day before practice, stayed up many a night in college meticulously editing essays for friends, and been a Big Brother (the program, that is). My philosophy around tutoring simply revolves around developing a vested interest in students' successes. I...

...students there. I would work with students in private sessions and, on occasion, lead a study group for students enrolled in the same class. I believe the private sessions were more effective because they focused on each student's individual issue, and all students have their own way of learning. I enjoy working with all types of math problems, but the subject I have the most fun with is Trigonometry, as it pushes the student to...

I have been teaching biology and microbiology at CCBC and Stevenson for a year and a half. I particularly enjoy teaching one-on-one. I am patient and kind and I experience identifying what a person needs (dedication, repetition, or discussion/understanding) to learn different concepts.

...newcomers. “Newcomers” are students who have been in the United States for less than a year and speak limited to no English. I still pinch myself daily at the fact that I am now a teacher. I feel validated on a daily basis to know that I am making an impact in someone else's life. I am molding the future generation by teaching them English, the American culture, and the academic content necessary to achieve...

...taught in a private school setting and worked extensively with study groups and tutoring throughout my college career. After wrestling through testing myself, I am now helping others with the GRE and SATs, AP and IB exam prep, college admissions, essay writing, K-12 math, English, Spanish, and elementary Hebrew. I have worked with younger students, undergraduate students, and adults in three countries and with a plethora of organizations. I look forward to meeting new people!

...love to dance Salsa and play soccer and Spikeball. I'm the oldest of ten children, and I am trilingual (Spanish, Arabic, English). I really enjoy nature, exercise, music, cooking, singing, conversations, and pets/animals. Regarding my tutoring experience, in high school I tutored younger students in biology and Spanish through a Spanish National Honor Society. After my freshmen year in college, I spent a summer abroad in Lebanon and tutored Lebanese students in Math, English, and...

...goals. Essentially, I believe that everyone has the ability to learn and to succeed in life. Currently, I serve as a tutor for undergraduate and graduate students studying various areas of Computer Science and Management Information Systems, Math, English and Cyber Security. As important, I am well versed in the APA and MLA citation styles and have tutored many undergraduate and graduate students on properly citing papers and essays as well as on writing in...

...Mathematics ranging from different subjects such as Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Calculus I, Calculus II. I have also tutored in Economics and Physics, but I definitely most passionate about Mathematics. In my experience helping students prepare for the SAT, I primarily focus on teaching the Math and Writing sections as I have extensive knowledge on both the content and the format of the tests. I believe that it is important to impart important concepts and problem...

...am passionate and dedicated to the students I tutor. My focus is on creating a solid foundation for students to expand their own learning. I strive to make the subject they are dealing with engaging and accessible so that they can increase their performance and become successful, self-reliable students. I am originally from Puerto Rico, I went to college St. Louis, and studied in China for a year. I enjoy water sports, especially scuba diving...

...In high school, I converted my 1984 diesel to run on waste vegetable oil. I try to bring a level of enthusiasm towards tutoring math that is normally reserved for every other subject besides math. I do not believe that anyone is naturally good or bad at math, but some people have better luck with finding teachers that connect with them in a meaningful way. I find it important to teach material in a way...

...Yale Daily News. After college, I served for two years as a Peace Corps Volunteer in the West African nation of Guinea-Conakry. There, I taught 5th grade full-time in French to 60 students in a village elementary school and tutored local high school students in English. My time in Guinea cemented my love of working with children and teenagers, and I am currently pursuing a career as a teacher. I tutor a broad range of...

...as a Master's program. I have always enjoyed working with kids as well as teaching/coaching, so tutoring offers the perfect opportunity to do something I really enjoy. As a student, my favorite subjects were Math, Science, and Art. Of the three subjects, Math is my strongest and also my favorite subject to teach, followed by Sciences (especially Chemistry). Working with kids and teens has taught me the importance of patience and finding ways to keep...
