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

...in August 2015. The research that I have been working on is studying more direct routes of drug delivery within the body as well as developing code for counting cells. I am an avid learner and love to share my knowledge with those around me. My favorite courses to tutor are predominantly quantitative. I like to treat these courses like an intricate puzzle that I have to solve using the skills in my "skill tool...

...love for tutoring comes in. Through one on one instruction, I can connect with students and learn what is best for them and together we can make goals for success, growth and development. I really enjoy laying the foundations for early education through teaching students how to decode, encode comprehend, problem solve and explore. I know that with time and effort every child can learn and love learning. In my free time, I like to...

A hard worker and someone who truly cares, as a student myself, I want to make sure any student of mine is adequately satisfied with their studies want them to feel comfortable asking questions and getting whatever help they needed in order to academically achieve a higher standard of learning.

...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 nursing homes. I enjoy tennis and golf in sunny Arizona, and poker and watching sports with...

...and social skills. I have had the opportunity to work with students ranging from pre-k through high school while I worked at the Hall of Health Children's Museum in Berkeley, California. My duties included leading presentations on the human body and giving guided tours of the museum. I tutor a great deal of subjects, and I would say that my core subjects are English, Literature, Public Speaking, and History. I enjoy connecting with young minds...

...Studies. I acquired my graduate degree in Education with emphasis in Organizational Management from Grand Canyon University. My favorite subjects to tutor are Reading and Math. I love that "got it" moment a student's face when they have reached a milestone. I love to travel during the summer. My travel bucket list includes North Africa, Germany, and Greece. I love meeting new people and taking part in the culture, food and music of the place...

...be gradual or sudden, you can really see it when it makes sense. I also enjoy helping students prepare for Standardized Tests. My goal is to help them advance, while keeping the material interesting. It is also my hope that I can help students reduce the stress they may feel when preparing to take these tests. I believe that if you continue to learn throughout your life, you will always be growing. In my spare...

...studying Computer Science. I have prior experience tutoring computer science students at the university's engineering tutoring center. As I am in my final year, I've completed most of my mathematics and computer science courses with exceptional grades. Additionally, I am skilled in other areas such as reading/comprehension, writing, and science (e.g. biology, chemistry). I am very passionate about tutoring others, and look forward to helping students gain knowledge in various subjects and excel in their...

...M.S. in Educational administration. I taught in the State of Illinois for 12 years and have tutored in Arizona for a private franchise company. My experience is with all grade levels, and I enjoy all levels of education. I am especially experienced with students who have learning challenges and welcome the opportunity to help with reading and math. I have two dogs who keep me busy and one grown son. I love to read books,...

...basis. This gives me the opportunity to get to know them as individuals and really keep track of their progress. I view tutoring as more of an exchange than traditional teaching; I believe my students and I can work together to solve any problem. When assisting with a writing assignment, for example, it will only be a temporary solution for me to simply pull out a red pen and begin editing. Instead, I prefer to...

...Accountancy from Eastern Illinois University. Now, I work as a Financial Analyst for PetSmart performing 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...

...began tutoring when other lawyers asked me to tutor their children for the SATs and the LSAT. More and more people asked me to tutor their children, so I contacted Varsity tutors to extend my reach to people who did not know me personally. My style is energetic and engaging. As a trial attorney, I routinely have to communicate complex matters to a jury that has no experience in the fields of chemistry, biology and...

...academic goals are more readily achievable when concepts are understood, rather than formulas memorized. When helping students prepare for standardized tests I focus on taking practice exams and working with students on the areas they need the most help. Outside of school I enjoy hiking, gardening, reading, and cooking. I like to explore new ways of doing things and being outside. I like to try to strike a good balance between learning, working, and enjoying...

...I can use my own command of the language to get you to the next level. Last, but not least, Colorado College's unique course of study is what prepared me well to become a tutor. At Colorado College we took courses on the "Block Plan," during which students took one course at a time, for one month only. This meant that the same group of about 15 students went to the same class everyday, making...

...Digital Logic. I enjoy tutoring Algebra, Trigonometry, and Programming because they provide an understanding 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,...

...approaches to solving it. Students that work through a problem until they "get stuck" are already learning a lot more than if they had never attempted it. I believe that tutors are the most helpful when the student has already struggled with a concept, because the tutor can hone in on the specifics. Math is a skill that gets better with practice, like sports or music. I keep my arithmetic skills sharp through tutoring at...

...seventh, and eighth grades. I have a lot of experience with a wide range of students and looking forward to the opportunity to work with many more! I am able to teach a variety of subjects, but the most rewarding subjects for me to teach are Math and Reading. Working with children on those subjects is the most rewarding because I love seeing the light in a child's eyes when they learn something new. It...

...get there, so giving options and finding the method that works best for someone is also great. For fun I like going to movies as well as both computer and board (strategy) games. (I'm actually in the process of designing my own board game.) To show my worldliness, I should also mention that my father was in the military, so I've lived (internationally) in Italy for one year and in Germany three times for a...

...a Montessori school. While in Phoenix, during my first year of teaching I tutored a 1st grader as well as students of various grades K-8 at my school. While I am passionate about every subject I teach, I especially enjoy math, english language arts and history. Mastering these subjects are pivotal to the success of elementary students and I enjoy creating different activities to help kids become excited about and invested in the subject. I...

...sciences and my graduate studies include a Masters in Education from Arizona State University. Over the last six years I have had an opportunity to teach lower, middle, and upper middle school grades. Currently, I teach middle school science in Phoenix. In addition to teaching, I presently tutor students at my school and have experience running a 21st Century tutoring program at one of my prior schools. Tutoring often closes the academic gap students that...
