Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in San Marcos, CA

...the classroom. My tutoring style involves breaking complex subjects down into smaller fractions and slowly building up to the whole concept, which is quite effective. Additionally, I try to relate the subjects to the real world so that the student can identify why it is important and fun to learn. Outside of the academic world, my hobbies include playing volleyball, football, or basketball, scuba diving, watching movies, reading, and hanging out with friends and family.

I'm patient and logical and love to work with kids. Besides taking classes, I volunteer...

...and leading them to discover the answer/procedure for themselves, so that they understand why they are using certain methods and can apply them to novel situations rather than depending on rote memorization. Outside of academia, I enjoy playing music (guitar and drums), and although I listen to all kinds of music, I primarily enjoy playing blues, jazz, and rock.

...the importance of studying and critical thinking, since the classes were much more difficult than high school. I firmly believe that forming great study habits and developing the skills for studying with others are crucial for success, especially in preparing for college. With that said, I think what one does outside of class cannot be overstated; exercising, volunteering, and engaging in enriching hobbies tempers what one accomplishes at school. I like to do all three...

...throughout and beyond school. If you do not challenge yourself you will never get better, and that is how I would describe my tutoring style. I start out showing students the path in order to get to the solutions, and then I challenge the student to find the solution on their own. That way the student will be able to perform on tests and quizzes without someone helping them along. Outside of school and tutoring...

At the same time, I like to have...
