Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in Washington DC

...economics, physics, violin, and music publishing for five years. My favorite subject is math because it involves critical thinking and universal concepts. My teaching philosophy is to target the student's source of frustration, to ensure correct terminology using the student's course materials, to provide strategies for memorizing information, and to focus the bulk of the tutoring session on the student's homework or projects. In addition, I am very understanding, patient, and kind. My hobbies include...

...learning math while having fun!! A little bit about me: I have an associate's degree in Business and working towards a degree in accounting.

...have, however, utilized the analytical problem solving skills developed in high school and college test prep to advise a wide range of clients in the financial services industry, one that requires lifelong continuing educational testing.

...graduation, I have taught seven years as a special education teacher in an elementary school, tutored students after school in reading and math, at home tutoring, and ran a program for high school credit recovery in that district. My favorite subject to tutor is reading because reading lays the foundation for all other learning. I am passionate about instilling the love of learning in others and I use that passion to help students become successful...

...for myself (deciding to follow another passion of mine, television), tutoring helps me fulfill that need to help others and watch them evolve. I have always believed that too whom much is given, much is required, so having knowledge or skills and not sharing it, is not a notion familiar to me. Helping someone learn and understand a concept is great, but the bigger pleasure comes from showing them how to use the skills that...

...patiently guiding my student to the correct answer, rather than giving it to them. I believe this method is the best way for the student to master the material. I enjoy the "aha!" moment my students have when the concept finally clicks. In my free time, I work on my two tea businesses. During my senior year at Rice, I founded a student-run boba tea business. We currently have 13 student employees and continue to...

As such, I tailor my tutoring sessions to the individual student to ensure that no time is wasted....

...University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez Campus, in May 2014 where I received my Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. While in college, I became more fascinated with Math and Science. The more classes I took, the more I realized how much we use Math and Science, and how relevant they are to the technology we use in everyday life. It is very important is to have a good foundation in these subjects early on!

...both Mathematics and Religious Studies. Throughout high school and college I have tutored math to many different students - these students range from 2nd graders to nontraditional adult students. I have previously tutored elementary and middle school math, algebra, geometry, precalculus, calculus, and even math covered on standardized testing such as the ACT/SAT. Aside from tutoring many students over several years, I have also worked as an English teaching assistant on a Fulbright grant in...

...across gelid Mongolia through winter. My disparate life is united by an insatiable curiosity, a desire which proves invaluable in both teaching and learning. This curiosity has taken me around the intellectual, and physical, world. I started out studying physics at seventeen, after two years fell in love with literature, and switched majors, picking up another along the way--political science--and earned my first two degrees. After university, I wanted to discover a new culture, and...

...had a passion and a knack for all types of math and hands-on mechanics. When I was in high school, I restored a 1966 Morris Minor which is the British car that preceded the Mini Cooper. Over the summers I would tutor kids in my neighborhood in math and work on my car. In college my favorite classes were my mechanical labs, robotics, and environmental sciences. After graduation, I moved back to the DC Area...

...of Science in Physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in May 2011. I was a Teaching Assistant of a Physics course for two years while I was there. I basically helped teach the class by making sure the students understood what the professor was saying during the lectures. I believe that stripping down a problem to it's simplest explanation and then building from there is the best way to learn something completely.

...be rigid. Flexibility in education is key to a successful student. Coming from a family of educators, I have become a natural teacher. I enjoy helping students connect with new information and create a love of knowledge. Each student has the potential to be great. They key is for the students to find themselves within the work. And that is what we do; together we make a personal connection between the student and the work.

Teaching and tutoring are my passion because they give me the opportunity to have a positive impact on my students' learning experiences as I help them reach their full potential. My experiences as a French Teacher's Assistant at Carleton College and a Summer Science Teacher at Breakthrough-Minneapolis have taught me to utilize different tutoring and teaching techniques to accommodate students with different learning styles. I look forward to working with you!

...finished; however, the learning process is always ongoing and changing. Learning happens every day and it is often unseen or even unknown to many people. My personal philosophy is also my personal philosophy in playing/watching sports: the fundamentals and little things are the big things. Whether it is playing ultimate frisbee, basketball, football, by doing the small things correct and consistently, then we open ourselves to greatness. In addition, being passionate about what is learned...

...high school. I believe it is not just enough to know a piece of information, but a tutor needs to be able to convey that information in a clear and concise manner to the student. Most importantly however, he/she needs to teach in an encouraging manner and have the patience to stay at it with the student if they are not able to understand the concept right away. I believe I make a great tutor...
