Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in Scottsdale, AZ

Hello! My name is Miguel. I have extensive experience in educational system with K-12, at-risk, court-appointed, international, and visually-impaired students. My tutoring experience includes in-home and public institutions for nearly five years. A good tutor is patient and is able to adapt to the needs of the student and to the parent. I chose to be an educator to assist in the progression and knowledge of students.

...helping others cultivate that lifelong love. I have experience tutoring students from K-College level in Math, Reading, & Writing. I am particularly interested in helping K-12 students discover their own potential in Math and Reading, and succeed on standardized tests. I also have unique experience in the professional world working as a Business Planning Manager for a Fortune 200 company in their sales department and am strongly qualified to tutor excel, public speaking, and organization/study...

...Algebra, or Calculus, I love being able to help students understand how to manipulate numbers and solve problems. Some of my preferred teaching methods include visual aids, providing supplemental literature, incorporating music in language studies, and simply teaching through repetition with immediate feedback. I am a firm believer in every student having their own learning style, and I truly enjoy working within the style of each student I encounter. My greatest success stories were students...

...I grew up in poverty, but through hard work and the motivation of mentors and teachers, I overcame my circumstances. Because I myself know the cost of improving oneself and of overcoming one's circumstances, I expect nothing but hard work, determination, persistence, and a positive attitude. I'm not an unfair person. I don't expect for you to do all the work alone. I will learn whatever material you are learning with you.... To ensure my students...

...in all my lessons. In my teaching jobs, I work with students with learning and emotional disabilities. I have also run after school enrichment programs for gifted students that have received commendations from state officials. I specialize in tailoring instruction to the learner's strengths, particularly for more visual learners. My instruction on fractions has been called the clearest the interviewer had seen. I am a generalist up through the high school level in content. In...

...to have been a singular experience early in that person's education which robbed him or her of the necessary confidence to really feel comfortable with the subject. Because math at its core is quite rigorous, losing heart early can lead to a snowball effect where a student will have trouble with a new concept because it is directly based on one on which he or she had previously given up. When I tutor, I go...

...with a specialization in Neuroscience from the University of California San Diego. Between my undergraduate education and medical school education, I tutored high school students in a variety of subjects, including Algebra, Chemistry, Biology, and Spanish. My favorite subject to tutor is Chemistry, because it is one that students struggle with a lot, and it makes me happy to see a student grasp a concept they have worked hard to understand. I believe that there...

...study techniques that the student will be able to use long after our sessions are over. In addition to teaching at the Science Center and being accepted to ASU, I have a Bachelor's Degree in Aeronautical Science, have completed three NASA research fellowships, and have earned a Commercial/Instrument Pilot's License. In my free time I enjoy running around outside with my puppies, playing the guitar, and looking at the night sky through my telescope. Thank...

...students achieved top scores, despite the fact that each encountered different obstacles during their preparation. I have learned that tutoring is incredibly dynamic: every student is different in their capabilities and learning style. As a tutor, I strive to develop a strong rapport with each group and their families in order to tailor my teaching approach to the group's energy. In my spare time, I love being outdoors (running, hiking, swimming) to enjoy the sunny...

...editing, grammar, literature, reading, and writing, as well as test prep for lower-level ISEE, elementary-level SSAT, and SAT Verbal. Since my current career dream is to teach English, I like tutoring the English-related topics the most. I particularly enjoy the process of helping students with their essay editing and essay writing. When I teach, my goal is to help the student learn how to do something on their own as effectively as possible without making...

...history, philosophy, and Spanish (which I learned to speak while studying philosophy in Argentina). I really enjoy working with students to sharpen written assignments. Even the best writers require editing! I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy making music, travel, and reading.

...journey. I hold a master's in education from Grand Canyon University and a Bachelor of Arts in Education from Arizona State University. Experience in tutoring extends from being the Saturday school coordinator at my local high school, to working with at-risk students in a credit recovery setting at an online night school. Other than teaching and tutoring, I enjoy relaxing by spending time with my wife, playing video games, and cheering on the Green Bay...

...testing and measuring the financial effectiveness and impact of proposed new store initiatives. The best part is bringing our pets to work on Fridays! I've tutored everyone from Jr. High to College in Business, Statistics, Accounting, Economics, Math, and other subjects. I also took part in a Supplemental Instruction Program while completing my degree that can best be described as a TA/tutor hybrid program. I enjoy spending time with my family, baseball, traveling, and running... and...

...hundreds of students in any subject that had anything to do with Mechanical Engineering. I have experience tutoring students with extremely different learning styles and I've learned to adapt to each in turn. I graduated in 2012 with a 4.0 in Mechanical Engineering from ASU and currently work full time, but I miss tutoring. So I'm back at it. My favorite subjects to tutor are Physics 1 & 2, Calc I, II , III, and...

I really enjoy and am excited to help...

...so encouraging for me. Tutoring allows me to have the personal satisfaction of a one to one relationship with a learner. Hearing a student got a greatly improved score on a test or aced a reading or writing assignment gives me great satisfaction as a teacher. I enjoyed my years in the classroom and look forward to returning some day to that environment but find that I truly enjoy teaching in small intimate groups of...

...unable to use what you already know and not knowing how to tackle the subject. I want to help students by giving them multiple access points and allowing them to access whatever content they desire at their current level. I believe the most important way to help students learn in is to relate content to their current interests and future goals. In my spare time, I enjoy reading non-fiction about technology and neurobiology, hiking, watching...

...of patterns and logic, which I believe are useful problem-solving techniques that can be utilized throughout life. My tutoring style includes teaching how to efficiently and effectively set up and solve problems for tests and explaining real world applications for advanced math and how it relates to Electrical Engineering. In my spare time, I enjoy biking, hiking, weight lifting, healthy cooking, playing video games, and I also collect high-powered laser systems for experiments and entertainment.
