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

...learning should be a fun and enriching experience. I treat each student as if they were my son or daughter, making sure they are in a comfortable and safe learning environment. I love to think outside the box when it comes to planning lessons, applying student interests and hobbies when possible. This act gives each lesson my personal touch. I believe communication is key when building that student-teacher bond. The more communication there is, the...

...quickly discovered that my lifelong dream of being an astronaut was not really what I wanted to do. I had always had a passion for music, and was a good trumpet player, and with a little nudging from my College Band Director, well, the road definitely took a right turn. In 2002 I moved to Phoenix where I took my second teaching job in the Glendale Union High School District at Washington High School. While...

...have minored in mathematics and chemistry as an undergraduate. I have experiences in tutoring learning disabled students of diverse academic backgrounds, and in serving as a lab Teaching Assistant for college undergraduate students. I specialize in areas of math and science such as algebra, trigonometry, SAT math, biology, physiology, and general chemistry but am also well-versed in essay writing. My aim as a tutor is to help you understand the material while making the learning...

...all, this is what I most love about tutoring and teaching. I was working towards my chemical engineering degree at McGill University when I realized I wanted to pursue something more complementary towards my outgoing personality and of all my experiences, I have most enjoyed working with and educating others - especially in math- so I feel as though this is a great opportunity to move back into that field. I am now taking a...

...Pioneer College in Snowflake and Show Low, AZ. The past two years I have been spending most of my time in the Phoenix area where I am tutoring math, ranging from arithmetic to algebra to trig and calculus, with my main love and main focus being on algebra. What I love about algebra is the detective work---figuring out what needs to be done to solve a problem instead of just attacking it with a calculator....

...a reason to care about what you're learning, and managing the information thrown at you. Now, this is a wonderful, wonderful thing, because while I cannot make anyone 'smarter,' I can help them break information down until they understand it and show them where the subject can intersect their own passions. Would you understand The Odyssey better if we looked at Odysseus as the ancestor of Batman? That can be done. Would math make more...

...State as well. I have 8 years of tutoring experience with students in middle school and high school. I plan to pursue a PhD in Education at the conclusion of my Master's program. Not every student's needs are the same. I tailor my teaching style to suit each student most effectively. I try to make each subject interesting and have students engaged in the learning process. After all, learning is a life-long process!

...that fed my passion for the outdoors and eventually led me to a B.A. in Biology. I would love to tutor others to help them pursue a passion for the life sciences, especially if they are considering applying to dental school. I recently scored highly on the DAT (Dental Aptitude Test), which tests the same material as the MCAT, and feel I could prepare others as well for these difficult (and stressful!) tests. During my...

...will become a Genetics PhD student at Stanford University. I have experience tutoring people of all ages and backgrounds in science and math. I find tutoring to be a rewarding experience and I view it as a way to pay-it-forward, as I have also needed the assistance of tutors throughout my academic career. My expertise stems from the coursework in my undergraduate degree and from my previous job as a paid scientific researcher. As the...

...students in math and the sciences and have helped many achieve goals that seemed unattainable. I have done this by establishing what areas of the subject are most troubling to students and focusing on them by using a variety of different sources. I have many textbooks and class notes, manuals, etc. that the students can use to have multiple viewpoints on the same subject. I also believe that a person learns best when they are...

...falls into this category because often times, the student needs help outside of their school environment. While I tutor many different subjects, my favorite subject to tutor is Mathematics, particularly Statistics and Basic Algebra. I enjoy those specific mathematical subjects because I believe they are the most black and white subjects and therefore, the easiest to break down for a student. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing a student's face light up when they finally...

...and write and particularly enjoy preparing students for the ACT. I am passionate about running, traveling, and being outdoors. I believe that learning should be fun and that the process needs to be personal and innovative. I am always prepared, patient, and observant. I care about each individual and know that everyone has the capacity to understand and learn. It is my belief that we are lifelong learners and I am anxious to know how...

...student's learning. I am currently in the process of obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree in pure mathematics at Rice University in Houston, Texas. I tutor a wide range of subjects including U.S. History, algebra, calculus, chemistry, comparative politics, economics, and test preparation. Although I enjoy tutoring in all of these subjects, I especially like tutoring math-related subjects such as high school algebra, calculus, and linear algebra. Outside of class and tutoring, I enjoy golfing,...

...to expand my teaching experience. I believe you can never fully understand a subject until you can teach it so through tutoring, I am able to assist the student in learning the material while solidifying my own knowledge. The most important part of my lesson plan is to make learning enjoyable. A tutor must be able to quickly identify the learning style of the student so the lesson can be modified to their style. Apart...

It is my belief that everyone is capable of higher level learning. Although I am young, I have seen a variety of learners from different parts of the country. I have learned that teaching and learning is not a one size fits all. I will my instruction to meet you needs, and help you reach your learning goals!

...math, but find that I can tutor a broad range of subjects, from English to history to accounting. Test prep is a strong area for me, as I like to focus on the patterns and trends that come up in standardized tests. If you are looking for a tutor that will go at your desired pace and will work at your level, I am a good fit for you. I have tutored students from the...

...basis for careers I have chosen. Here is a little of my Philosophy of Teaching..... Learning is, of course, the main purpose of education. I feel that the concept of learning should be molded around three steps. First, learn and understand the material presented. Second, independent thought is essential to the development of every student. Being able to form unique independent ideas to solve problems is the next step in the formal learning process. Finally,...

...So far I have tutored students to pass the Math portion of the Elementary Teacher Certification test. I have also tutored some of my classmates in my math and science courses. I am fully capable of tutoring for many math courses from elementary school to sophomore year college level as well as high school chemistry and physics. Other than loving math, I also love baseball and am a huge Diamondbacks fan! I also have an...

...and at-ease with the direction of study but also to be productive and engaged in the material. Tutoring is about working together so that he/she can solve it, not me giving the student the answers. Many times students know so much more than they realize, and showing that to them is always the first thing I try to accomplish. I am about pinpointing the problem and making small changes to have the most impact. In...

...out of a job as quickly as possible. Give the student study skills, tools and confidence to get to their desired level of competence on their own. I don't give answers; we find them together. I try to add realism and practicality to the sometimes dry, theoretical learning experience. There is nothing more satisfying than to see a student's success and progress. I love music and sing in three groups that entertain at hospitals and...
