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

...to use social interactions to provide students with appropriate support as they work on challenging tasks. Independent problem solving is essential for each student to experiment various ways of coping with new learning tasks, to apply knowledge rather than memorize information, and to improve critical thinking skills. In my opinion, a successful learning process should take place first in effective assisted learning (interpersonal learning) and then in independent problem solving (intrapersonal learning). I believe scaffolding...

...how to best explain a topic in a logical way to students. This challenges me, and in the end, helps me to understand a topic better. Secondly, I 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...

...to learn new things. I loved seeing the light turn on as they realized that they were able to figure it out, they just needed to be pushed in 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...

...and Italian. At the moment, I am looking to apply for a PhD program in economics when I graduate next year. I currently work for the University as a 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.

...to say I am passionate is something of an understatement. Math is the most beautiful thing in the universe, and I want open everybody's eyes to this deep and 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...

...at the right pace. If I can make a student interested in a topic and engage with their learning style, learning happens much faster and more effectively, and doesn't 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...

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...

...strive to bring students toward their lightbulb moments not by repeating facts until they're drilled in, but by helping my students understand precisely why the laws of science, the 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...
