Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in St. Louis, MO

...Writing, my passion lies in the field of mathematics: ACT/SAT geometry, College Algebra, Basic Calculus. I believe that improvement comes with patience and persistence. By truly communicating with a student and understanding where he/she is struggling, we can insure improvement by teaching from the basics. I try to invoke in my students my passion for education and all of its opportunities. During my spare time, I like to play pick-up soccer, basketball, and table tennis....

...they understood the concepts and could apply information critically. Once I finished high school, I attended Saint Louis University (SLU) and earned a degree in Biochemistry. I worked as an athletic tutor and helped students in General and Physical Chemistry, College Algebra, World History, Basic to Intermediate Spanish and English Composition courses. Most of the sessions I conducted were one-on-one but I also tutored a number of group sessions for General Chemistry. Before an appointment...

...years and have worked in multi-age, bilingual and inclusion classrooms. In recent years, I've been hired specifically to teach and improve the literacy of ESL students in 5th and 6th grades and intervene in Math and literacy for at-risk youth from grades 5th-8th. I am enthusiastic and creative, which has allowed me over the years to create lessons and classroom environments that inspire all students to achieve their goals and believe in the importance of...

...taught middle school, high school, community college and university in several sciences and levels of mathematics. I have noticed as both an educator and student that the best teachers are the ones who not only enjoy the material they teach but actively participate in application. My research is in signal processing; finding new ways to make music a part of everyone's everyday life. I love to learn about other cultures! People are generally surprised to...

...variety of youth. I believe that education and catering education to the unique needs of individual students is imperative. I find it so rewarding to partner with students not only to clarify tricky concepts, but to jointly develop skills and tools which can help them achieve long term success. Outside of academia, I am interested in theater, having acted, stage managed, and sung extensively though out my high school and college careers. I also enjoy...

...I am a firm believer in hands-on, active learning done at a child's pace, allowing them to gain mastery of the skills and gain an independent sense of understanding. I truly feel the more a child is able to create and understand his/her own experiences, the more motivated they become, and ultimately the more they learn. I believe that teaching is multidimensional and multicultural, and I have a strong commitment to diversity, equity, and mutual...

...I love the moment when something clicks. I've been tutoring for over a decade from helping Physics peers with homework and general topics, Spanish and psychology students with tackling difficult topics that I had covered in the past, third and fourth graders and help them with their homework, or literacy with a variety of ages. As a learner, who also teaches, it is very important to me to try to see from the viewpoint of...

...medical research and part-time in bioinformatics education where I developed educational materials for college bioinformatics courses throughout the US in addition to helping teach bioinformatics methodology to visiting faculty at Wash U. During my graduate program I served as a teaching assistant for a course in Epidemiology. The aspect of teaching that I most enjoy is the challenge of putting myself in the shoes of the student and viewing the material from their perspective to...

...have taught all subjects in grade areas from Kindergarten through sixth grade. While I am capable of tutoring for a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about teaching reading and mathematics. I believe a day without learning is a day wasted, and I hope to impart this love of learning and hunger for knowledge to my students by helping them to discover knowledge rather than imparting that knowledge to them. In my spare...

...to not only acquire a specific skill or merely understand a new concept but to also ignite in their hearts the love of knowledge and learning. I think it's most satisfying, after hard work and practice, to see that both teacher and student were able to cooperatively work together to be successful in reaching their goal. So, if you're looking for someone to be patient, thorough, and willing to go over things once, twice, or...

...one-on-one sessions! I specialize in ACT prep, but I enjoy working with students in other subjects as well, especially the sciences and language arts. I have experience working with students from elementary through high school, as well as with below-average, typical, and high-achieving students. I love working with students to realize their full potential in subjects that may have previously been considered boring or challenging. In my free time, I enjoy spending time at Forest...

...taught gifted classes to third through eighth graders, taught remedial reading, and then moved up to a position in the central office as a curriculum supervisor. I'm very experienced in helping students with organization skills and building their confidence. My favorite activities in my free-time are sewing, quilting, reading, hiking, biking, and traveling. Last winter I visited Cabos San Lucas in Mexico and in the fall, I went north to Alaska. Both trips were AWESOME!!

I specialize in tutoring a broad range of subjects with a focus on math, science, history, government, geography, accounting, finance and related business topics. One of my goals for each tutoring session is to keep the student engaged and challenged yet not overwhelmed. I...

I have experience working with students as young as 5 years old tutoring and/or teaching in the areas of reading, writing, math, science, and providing speech therapy services. I received my Master's Degree in Communication Disorders from Truman State University in 2016. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and assist with your tutoring needs!

...though I am not specially licensed for working with children with learning disabilities. Math is obviously my favorite subject to tutor because I love finding new ways to explain concepts I am already so familiar with and use on a regular basis, as I am currently working on a graduate degree in Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis. My teaching approach with students is very similar to the approach I use with myself when...

...of experience in teaching/tutoring Chemistry and Math. I believe that tutoring is a two-way learning process. I love the fact that I can help students to achieve their academic goal and at the same time I enhance my teaching and organization skills. My career goal is to be a part of an academic teaching and/or research institution. Tutoring students will be my training ground toward that goal. During my free time, I love hanging out...

...high school students over the course of my academic career, I have also been fortunate enough to have served as a teaching assistant for three quarters of introductory-level undergraduate Chemistry courses, both lecture and lab. When I work with students, either in groups or one-on-one, I enjoy the challenge of trying to re-frame the material in a manner that appeals to their interests as much as their prior knowledge. While making science relatable can certainly...

I love helping people understand material that they have trouble working through on their own. Everyone learns differently and there is a way to teach everyone once you breakdown the information to its most basic concepts and build up from there. I am sure that together we can set you on the right path to understanding the subject matter at hand.
