Award-Winning Finite Mathematics Tutors for Students in Salt Lake City, UT

...understand the derivations, I need to first find out exactly where the students math level in order to decide how detailed my explanation should be and what information could be skipped from the explanation. Understanding the diverse backgrounds of students is really important, especially when helping in the fields of mathematics and physics. My teaching philosophy is rooted in my extensive educational experiences at two universities in two countries. At Nanjing University, a leading institution...

...am firm believer that education enriches the lives of my students. I feel that I am helping students to have a better understanding of the world, and of themselves. I have been working with students for nearly twenty years. I've taught at the community college level now for over five years. I also taught for a short time as a student teacher in a high school. I have a bachelor's degree in math and physics...

...I believe I can help you figure it out in a way that'll stick with you. That's my teaching philosophy - to get you ready and able to tackle any question thrown at you by yourself. A little bit about me, I'm 22 and happily married. No kids yet but we got the best dog in the world. I love any kind of outdoor activity and watching movies in my downtime. I couldn't live without...

...information and assistance they need. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology at Utah State University, while also earning minors in German and Mathematics. I went on to earn my Master's Degree in Library Science at the University of Arizona. I worked for many years at Utah Valley University's Library, where I taught library research classes to university students. I am currently working at the public library, where I regularly help students with their homework....

...the right direction. This love has naturally led me to be both a tutor and a teaching assistant while I work on my bachelor's degree in Applied Statistics and is what lead me to find Varsity Tutors. Although my major is very math heavy, I myself have a great love for literature and art so much so that I'm minoring in Interdisciplinary Humanities in order to stay well rounded. Because of this, I don't have...

...Business and an Economics tutor- and it is great! I love working as a tutor because it allows me to see the progress of students of all ages gain confidence as they realize how they are capable of amazing things. My focuses in tutoring are mathematics (elementary, middle school, algebra, precalculus and calculus), statistics, and economics. I have completed recent coursework in these main disciplines and I regularly teach it so it stays fresh. I...

...wonderful truth. Math is something to be enjoyed. I believe that while knowing the formulas and procedures is important, memorizing mathematical formulas without appreciating the concepts is akin to memorizing the lines of a Shakespeare play without paying attention to the underlying prose. My strongest subjects are linear algebra and pre-calculus though I am proficient at tutoring all high school and college underclassmen mathematical subjects. I hope that my passion is contagious and that all...

...feel like work. I endeavor to interest students in any topic (but especially math) by giving them a sense of a larger context. In particular, I love to bring college-level math concepts to students in a way anyone can understand, which often demonstrates WHY the math they're doing matters. It also shows that math can be just plain cool, which I don't think our curricula prioritize enough. Besides teaching, I enjoy practicing parkour and tricking...

Providing guidance in science and mathematics to help students understand the real-world applications of scientific and mathematical concepts in their everyday lives. I have a B.S.E. in Aerospace Engineering and a B.S. in Sustainable Energy Materials and Technology, and I am pursuing my M.S. in Aerospace Engineering.... Learning science and mathematics through real-world applications that show how concepts can actually be used to solve real problems.... I'd ask them about topics they feel uncomfortable with, as...

...rules of grammar, and the events of history are the way they are, and by lifting the curtain on the intricacies of the subject matter. I believe that learning is, and ought to be, for its own sake. Math and philosophy, and their nuanced interactions, are my great passions. I've run more 5ks and 10ks than I can count, but the validation of completing a long race is nothing like the satisfying moment of writing "Q.E.D."...
