Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in Santa Clara, CA

...I love the most are anything related to biology, especially human physiology. The human body performs amazing feats every day in order to keep us alive and to help us heal when we are injured. Everyday scientists learn something new about the body which is why I love physiology. In addition, I reviewed for the MCAT by myself with my own exceptional strategies and so I am very comfortable helping students with every section of...

...tutoring in my freshman year of college, and continued to do so throughout my college years. I primarily worked as a private tutor, helping middle school and high school aged students in a wide variety of math and science courses. I also volunteered on a weekly basis at a local community center to provide homework and study help to students. I have also helped students study and prepare for the PSAT and SAT math sections....

...my favorites are English, History, and organizational skills. In my observations, I have always found that giving students proper organizing skills as their foundation for success allows them to reach their full academic potential. I enjoy nothing more than witnessing the students I work with master and apply skills that they once found impossible. In my spare time I love to read, watch films, and keeping up with the latest sports news.

...classes that I enjoyed so much. My teaching philosophy focuses on the idea that different students learn different ways, and as a TA or a tutor, I strive to express different ways of thinking about problems. The teacher presents information one way, and I'll express it two or three different ways until one sticks! I also think that college-bound high school (or middle school) students can benefit greatly by learning what to expect in college....

...amount I have tutored and my overall experience, my favorite subject to tutor is math because there is always one, and only one, right answer. Through effective communication and patience, the student is not only able to learn the mathematical process, but also the ability to think analytically. I would say that my tutoring philosophy is based on encouragement and always validating the opinions of the student before steering the student in the right direction....

...Equipped with enthusiasm to learn and succeed in life, I embarked on a journey to reach the goals that I had in mind. As a result of that experience, I can really empathize with students who are struggling in school and do not know whom to turn to for help. My forte has always been mathematics, so I would like to help as many students as possible and let each one know that he or...

...chemistry demonstration to genetic research with high schoolers. While I enjoy tutoring a number of subjects, I am especially fond of science and math. My goal as a tutor is often to not only teach a subject, but get a student involved with a subject - that is, excited about it. I find students can make the biggest improvements when they feel personally engaged in the subject. Outside of academics I like bikes, coffee, and...

I have extensive tutoring experience with both young children (middle school), as well as high school and college-aged students. I also have experience working in ADD/ADHD management, which often comes alongside my typical tutoring.

...I start by getting to know a student and observing how their mind works. I constantly ask questions to make sure their train of thought is correct as giving a direct shortcut to the right answer does not help them to deeply understand the material and prepare themselves for any type of problem. Every time I am told I have changed the way someone thinks and helped their understanding it is a personal victory for...

Collective knowledge is always greater than individual knowledge. Share Knowledge.

...from principal instructor of college math classes to one-on-one mentoring with high school students. I am passionate about social justice, novel mathematics education, and increasing diversity in STEM majors and careers. Currently, I am working on a thesis in discrete geometry and combinatorics, as well as doing research for UCSF where I design machine vision software. I am well positioned to motivate and justify nearly every aspect of math education as being crucial for a...

...with a degree in Engineering Physics. Since I began tutoring, it has always been my philosophy to make sure the student understands a subject by breaking down concepts in the easiest way. My passion for the sciences drives me to not only teach what is on paper, but offer deeper insights to the material. I also love to laugh, and because of that, I try to make sessions light hearted, and less intimidating. Furthermore, as...

...in any of the standard courses. I have tutored Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, etc. and am very comfortable with the assignments given in these classes, as well as the areas students most often need help with on tests and exams. I am also happy to work with college students. I have worked with almost every variety of Calculus course, as well as differential equations, linear algebra, etc. Finally, I also help students preparing for standardized...

...six different elementary school classrooms (ranging from kindergarten to fifth grade) throughout Marin County. In addition, I worked as one of the mathematics, statistics and liberal studies tutors at Dominican's Teaching Learning Center (TLC). In my one-on-one with undergraduates, I helped students who initially struggled with concepts to ultimately master the material. Further, I helped develop students' study, test-taking, organization, and problem-solving skills. My experience also includes tutoring high school students (algebra I, algebra II,...

I have served as a tutor during middle school and high school for subjects ranging from math to history to English. I think that I'm a great tutor because I am knowledgeable in the subjects that I have listed above. I am also very patient when teaching others because I understand how difficult some concepts can be to grasp having struggled with them myself earlier in life. ... My teaching philosophy can best be described as...
