Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in Sandy Springs, GA

...Environmental Health. For six years I have worked with students from elementary to high school in writing and math. My favorite subject to teach is algebra and any science subjects because I am passionate about these areas. My teaching philosophy is to get the students to understand and appreciate the subjects they are learning. This way, the students will be more self-motivated and engaged to learn the materials. Outside of academia, I like to play...

...to go beyond the textbook and create analogies that help to make difficult material less abstract. I aspire to be a physical therapist since I will be able to combine my love for running and sports with my academic interest in science. Also, as a physical therapist, I will continue to educate others by teaching patients exercises to rebuild strength. I look forward to tutoring future students and learning more about their interests, learning styles...

...style of teaching fits every person. But in general I like to just be a knowledge repository, able to help and guide a student in coming to the correct answer or understanding a problem.

...I have learned that every person learns differently and have become adept in working with each of my students to identify and utilize the methods through which they individually learn the best.

I...

...demonstrating critical thinking skills and problem solving. Many people believe math is supposed to be difficult and frustrating. However, I have noticed that after scheduling appointments with me, many students feel they already knew how to do math all along! Nothing is better than having that "AHA" moment when working out problems, and I'm confident we can create an environment with accelerated learning and academic achievement. I also have developed great experiences working with children...

...applying to medical school. In the meantime, I am doing research as an intern at the Centers for Disease Control. I have always had a great love for learning and teaching has become a natural extension of that. I worked for the University of Florida Athletic Association tutoring student-athletes in Advanced Sociological Theory. This was a challenging experience as I had to make very dense, academic readings accessible to students and help them communicate ideas...

...my students especially when they are able to achieve their academic, personal, and career goals with my help. I attribute my success with students to being personable, accepting no excuses and simply showing them that I care. My students are given a great foundation to be successful which allows them to embrace a challenge. As a result, their self confidence, participation in class, and grades improve tremendously.
