Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in Sugar Land, TX

...nearly made it to the head-to-head finals among many exceptional candidates and had a joyful time. Influenced by this great achievement, I became conscious about the fact that not only did I receive a lot of satisfaction from learning, particularly about mathematics, but that I also found the idea of efficiently passing knowledge onto others very empowering. The idea that an individual can assume the responsibilities of a teacher and contribute to the blooming of...

I am a junior in Petroleum Engineering at the University of Houston. My experience as an engineering student makes me a great teacher in mathematics. I enjoy helping others learn and have a lot of experience teaching. I have tutored before and have worked with children through volunteering at my local school for the ESL program. I know how to simplify difficult concepts in order to guide the student to achieve great understanding and success.

...It is a pivotal subject on which so many others depend (such as physics and chemistry). I relish the challenge of problem solving that mathematics provides. For me, it is an endlessly intriguing subject, as the discipline appears limitless, allowing so much scope for further study and research. I believe I am a well-rounded mathematician. Pure mathematics is my personal favorite because of its focus on thought processes and problem solving techniques. I hope to...

Since I finished my degrees, I have tutored children who had trouble with English and Math from grades kindergarten to ninth who were in ESL and ELL programs.

...independent thinker during high school, and I would usually try to solve things myself. However, I struggled a lot when the time for my SAT came around--to the point where I actually ended up needing a tutor myself for the math portion! Nonetheless, I acknowledged the power of tutoring when I ended up surpassing my own expectations for the exam! I wish to spread the benefits of knowledge and confidence in younger students. Thanks again...

...school, and college students in Oklahoma looking to improve their math and computer skills (as I am a Graphic and Web Design instructor); and private clients in the Katy, Texas, area. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Algebra, Pre Calculus, Calculus, and various computer courses. In my experience, helping struggling students prepare for their futures helps gear them towards a more improved quality of life, and I try...

...the opportunity to work with children and adolescents at various academic and social levels. My training from OK State has equipped me with the skills to work with students who have trouble staying engaged in his/her learning. I am very adept in English, as that was my undergraduate minor. The subjects I have experience with are English, writing, science, math history, and social studies. I use multiple ways of engaging students, such as hands on...

...grades change significantly from failing to an A. The secret is that one can never succeed in math without practice. Badminton and Piano are two of my best friends. I learned piano from the age of 3 and I can play by ear now. I was also professionally trained badminton during my high school and achieved 2nd level national athlete in China. However, the characteristic that makes me special is my experience. I left home...

Mathematics is a passion of mine and I want to share this enthusiasm with the growing minds. I am very patient, adaptable and strive to increase my student’s math competency and problem solving techniques. The most efficient way to master math is by continually working math problems until it becomes second nature....

...struggling to make it in their classes. I have tutored in standardized test preparation, time management, history, geography, English, writing, and all elementary school subjects. Since eleventh grade, when I taught some neighborhood kids how to write essays and craft short stories, I have loved the one-on-one element of tutoring because I have the chance to really get to know a student, and then based on the student's learning style, teach them how to succeed....

...school math. I can also tutor ACT test prep strategies. I have taught English speaking and writing to elementary, middle school, and high school students in South Korea for one summer. It was such a rewarding experience! I think being a great tutor includes being exposed to different types of cultures, being patient, understanding, and passionate about what you're doing. These are all qualities that I possess. I believe that tutoring goes beyond making sure a...

...the last thirteen years, I have been teaching developmental math classes at the community college level. In addition, I have been tutoring students of all ages and levels. I enjoy tutoring students, because you get to experience that light bulb moment with them. They realize that things aren't as complex as they were originally thinking. I emphasize showing the rules of math. So often students get confused on certain concepts because they have learned some...

As an educator, I help students meet their fullest potential, so they can grow academically with high self-esteem. Tutoring provides an opportunity for continual learning and growth. One of my hopes as an educator is to instill a love of learning. We all have strengths and weaknesses, and it's imperative we ask questions to reach our goals. My tutoring involves weaknesses in the following: reading comprehension, phonics, inference, writing, mechanics, college entrance writing, and more.

...a sense of accomplishment like solving a puzzle. I would also say that I have a great sense of humor and a positive personality. My goal in tutoring is to present the material in a creative way that engages the student. In my opinion, when it comes to mathematics, a student's biggest enemy is low self confidence. Once a student finds that he or she has the ability to solve a problem, they are much...

Teaching is one of the most valuable disciplines in our society and anything I can do to help share knowledge, I will do with 100% motivation and seriousness. I also want to make sure there is an open line of communication between the...

...experience with a wide variety of students from college student athletes to students attending inner city schools to those in exclusive private schools. Through it all, my tutoring philosophy has remained the same: to guide students to the discovery of problems solving instead of providing them with the right solution. Because ultimately my objective is to help students develop their ability to learn independently. Teaching has always been a passion of mine. Since my college...

...is that some people learn in different ways, and schools don't always cater to people with different learning styles. What I strive for is to get to know the student, learn what learning style best suits him or her, and then encourage the student to go above and beyond! There are no limits to what one can learn! Everyone has potential. Everyone deserves a chance to enrich their minds, and what separates a good teacher...

...medical student at Texas A&M College of Medicine. I have knowledge in a broad field of areas and subjects and I am always excited to teach willing students. My philosophy is that there are no hard subjects. Any difficult concept can be broken down into easier, more digestible content, based on how well a tutor can understand their students. And that is what I believe I can help achieve with any student of mine of...
