Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in Washington DC

...Mathematics. My duties involved giving weekly tutorials and designing and evaluating homework and quizzes. I have also taught underprivileged high school students as part of an NGO. I taught math, computer science and english speaking skills. This is why Mathematics is my favourite subject to tutor. I am also comfortable tutoring for standardised tests such as the GRE and SAT. My goal is not merely to teach facts and formulas but rather to help the...

...to love watching a student's face light up after realizing they finally understand. There's nothing better than knowing you helped them get to that point. Currently a senior at BYU, I study Interdisciplinary Humanities and English. I'm the oldest of a large family in Maryland, just outside of DC. If all goes as planned, I'll be a graduate student at the University of Maryland-College Park next fall! I work with students of all ages.

...day before practice, stayed up many a night in college meticulously editing essays for friends, and been a Big Brother (the program, that is). My philosophy around tutoring simply revolves around developing a vested interest in students' successes. I have some knowledge to share, whether it be in SAT/ACT test prep, math, writing, or college apps, and it's fun and satisfying being able to empower others to succeed. In my free time, you'll catch me...

...tutor would have to be Algebra and Calculus. Algebra is one of the fundamental topics of Math and Calculus can be applied to an array of different subjects. I believe that Math builds upon itself and without a proper foundation it is impossible to move forward. Because of this, once the student grasps a concept in one problem I have them repeat the process until they can do so easily. In my spare time I...

...As I personally improved in this area over time, I found myself helping friends and family to identify areas of improvement in their work. My teaching and tutoring style is simple; there is no one size fits all approach. I believe each student has unique needs and there are a myriad of strategies that can be employed to ensure a student’s needs are being met. Learning styles range as well as cultural differences. These factors...

...law, and an associated minor in Hydrology. Currently, I am completing a Bachelor of Arts in Russian. In my free time, I enjoy reading, playing tennis, walking around the city with my dog, Juno, and playing the piano. In the winter I love to ski and snowboard. I have always been passionate about math and teaching and I look forward to getting the opportunity to share my knowledge with you or your child!

...math and reading. My approach to teaching is through hands on learning. Students need to manipulate their world in order to make sense of it. So through various manipulatives and/or real-life experiences students can move from the abstract to concrete. In addition, I make learning fun! My students love coming to my class and learning. They say it feels like a game, but the secret is that they are actually learning! So if you want...

...about understanding and analysis instead of memorizing formulas. This is reflected in my ‘partner-teaching’ style in the sense that I re-learn with the student in order to isolate areas of improvement, make the student more comfortable, and be relate-able in a way traditional teachers cannot. Having the student ‘teach’ me how to solve a problem is also crucial to my teaching style and evaluation techniques; while they ‘teach’ I can witness how far they have...

...learning, and I believe every subject can be fun and interesting. I studied Linguistics in college, which trained me in the critical thinking skills necessary for teaching Grammar, Foreign Languages, ESL, Math, and standardized test prep. I started tutoring when I was 15, and I was trained as a Student Teaching Intern with Breakthrough in 2010. I've tutored students ranging in age from 8 to 88. I love working with students individually or in small...

...biology and opera performance. I am also passionate about teaching. I live for that 'ah-ha' moment when you can see a concept click in a students mind. I believe in teaching not only how but why, and insist on finding real life applications to keep students engaged. When I am not tutoring I work for the Navy as a cost estimator using my background in economics and statistics. I love watching sports, reading books, cycling,...

...was always taught to understand the root of concepts in order to be able to apply them fluidly when problem-solving. I have studied, enjoyed, and done well in psychology, biology (cell, molecular, genetics), chemistry, physiology, physics, anatomy, and more. As I move forward to make a career out of science, I trust that I have learned the material well and am able to apply and teach it. I have taken several AP courses and exams...

...Magna Cum Laude graduate of Howard University, I understand how important learning is to success. As a very active student, I had to develop study skills and learning tools to help me better understand class materials. I also gained a vast amount of experience as a teaching assistant and STEM club instructor at Howard University's Middle School of Mathematics and Science. I understand that everyone learns differently. I hope that as your tutor I can...

...level of communication, organization, and creativity was developed through the interactive sessions with pupils; many of the activities and lessons were planned, lead, and delivered independently and with input from school teachers. I found the impact I made in the positive and productive direction, decision, and achievement of the young pupils to be extremely rewarding. In June 2010, I was selected to be a part of the Student Associates Scheme. This was a three week...

...over 300 hours of volunteer tutoring. I am very passionate about learning (some may say that I am a nerd!) and strongly believe in learning because one genuinely desires to become knowledgable in the subject, rather than studying to master an exam. It is my utmost desire to watch my students grow and excel. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, dancing, and playing the violin, as well as watching netflix and hanging out with...

I am a recent graduate of Brandeis University where I double majored in Neuroscience and Health Policy. I am a veteran of the Montgomery County Public School system. I graduated from the International Baccalaureate Program at Richard Montgomery, and was an AP Scholar with distinction. I love working with people to help promote understanding, especially in the areas of math and science.... Teaching style should strongly depend on the student, else you risk either wasting time...

...population at my school and I always tell my students, "Math is Science and Science is Math," so it's tough for me to pick which subject is my favorite. As a Teacher and a Tutor, my goal is to help students to become "elite problem solvers and master thinkers." I help each student to become a whiz in logic and reasoning through hands-on learning activities and taking real-world problems and trying to solve them in...

...from the University of Maryland at College Park. I have enjoyed working as an Engineer since graduating in 2007, but I have missed tutoring and teaching. My philosophy is that everyone has the ability to learn, the material just has to be presented in a way that is easy to comprehend. I have experience tutoring high school and college level math and science, and I enjoy being able to help a student understand new material...

...University of Maryland, College Park. I have over five years of experience teaching dance, martial arts, and working as a tutor to children and adults of all ages. While I tutor several subjects, my personal favorites are mathematics and Spanish due to my love for numbers and languages. I believe that learning never stops. As a fellow student, I understand the frustration that comes along with a rigorous course load. I aim to alleviate that...

...most important tool for success in anything is a strong fundamental education. Through this, students are allowed to see their own potential and gain confidence in themselves, all while developing an appreciation for learning. For me, the best feeling is when a student truly engages and connects with the material they are learning. I am an avid college sports fan and typically use most of my free time to keep up with my favorite teams...

...strong in SAT writing and reading, with special techniques of my own for upping the score for the SAT writing section. I was a chemistry lab teaching assistant for two years for the Chemistry Department at Johns Hopkins University. The selection process for teaching assistants included mastery of chemistry concepts, ability to demonstrate teaching, clarity in communication and listening skills, and high level of responsibility. I supervised one group of 20-24 Johns Hopkins freshman students...
