I am passionate about helping students get better! I love Mathematics and Physics, and want to be involved with the subjects for as long as possible.... To be flexible in teaching methods according to students' needs, and to be available to them for as much as they need.

...I currently tutor for a non-profit organization that targets high school students. I speak English and Chinese; I speak both Cantonese and Mandarin. My strengths as a tutor are threefold. I like to focus on exam skills. I also like to build special study methods to help students improve study efficiency. Finally, I like to focus on the basics of each subject and make sure the student understands before moving on to more complicated concepts.

...wind turbines! Shooting rockets underwater! I like to keep math rooted in the real world. I can teach you the basics of geometry, algebra, calculus and statistics, but more interestingly I can show you how to use what you learn to master the world around you. I'm not a professional teacher, I'm just a regular guy who learned all the tricks the hard, long way, and I want to share them with you! Conquering math...

...particularly calculus. I also have 5 years of experience tutoring in the sciences, such as biology, chemistry, and physics. My experience has come in the form of private, one-on-one tutoring with students ranging in ages from 7th grade through adult learners, college-level review courses, and even teaching SAT prep courses. My students find me very relatable, and I've heard from several students that having someone close to their own age work with them has been...

...step-by-step generalized frameworks for solving certain problems. I love tutoring: I love that aha-moment when a student finally grasps a tough or abstract concept, and I love being part of that process. I try to explain concepts in unorthodox ways: a student loves business? We can apply math to profit-maximization problems. Physics? Applying math to moving particles is incredibly intuitive. Math is beautiful in that it can be approached in many ways - for example,...

...our modern world it is vital that more students can learn (and love) technical subjects like math and science. I hope to be able to contribute to this! I have a masters degree from the University of Oxford and I am actively doing research in mathematics. I took all the standard undergraduate coursework both in the United States and in Russia, and left with (near) perfect grades. On weekends, I taught and mentored a group...

Hello! I have over 10 years of experience tutoring and teaching math. I've taught everyone from elementary school students to adults, in subjects ranging from arithmetic to graduate level mathematics. I graduated from UCBerkeley with a BA in applied math, and from SFSU with a MA in math. ... Whenever helping a student, I make sure to show them every step of the process, working them not only through the technical details but also my thought...

I specialize in math and science,and am currently pursuing a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering at MIT. I am patient and will take as much time as you need to thoroughly explain concepts. In my free time, I like to make video blogs with a cinematographic feel to them. I will do my best to make learning as fun and enjoyable as possible!

...difficult proof. I'm a scholar of the Western canon, greatly influenced by great thinkers and writers of the past such as Plato, Virgil, Aquinas, and Anselm. I love to read and to discuss what I've read, and I heartily appreciate a good philosophical argument. Extracurricularly, I write musicals, one of which premiered at Yale last year, and attend Yale Political Union meetings to debate the pros and cons of various fiscal and social policies until...

For 7 years, I have been nurturing and unlocking students' academic potential. Tutoring is an art; like any effective coach, I encourage, challenge, inspire, and teach my tutees. But which type of support, and when? The wisdom to balance these ingredients comes only from years of experience. Come see for yourself and book a session today. ... Compassionate coaching and student empowerment, with an eye towards conceptual understanding and long term academic success.... Identify the student's...

...down into small steps and tackled bit by bit. This makes hard problems far less scary and produces steady reward for the solver. My role in your study will be to help you find the small components in a problem and tackle each one, and provide a patient voice of encouragement for you. If you practice solving any kind of problem this way, eventually you won't believe that you ever found any subject intimidating.... Any problem...

A tutor or teacher can offer information or ideas. Cooperation with the student is required for learning to occur. I have taught in many environments from basketball coach to snowboard instructor. My education is taking me toward becoming a Math teacher. I look forward to the interactions where I can help students engage with the academic material ... Small goals and recognition of accomplishments are a useful to maintaining motivation.... Learning is rarely independent. We rely...

...computer science during my undergraduate studies, and have experience working in the Lenovo Artificial Intelligence lab. This summer, I am an actuarial intern at Hartford Financial Services, where I am working in the Credit and Market Risk team to develop and deploy regression models for measuring credit spreads, alongside building tools in R and Python to better allow my team to utilize my code. I have passed five actuarial exams (P, FM, IFM, STAM, and...

...of subjects in math and physics, from algebra 1 up through college level calculus, including ACT test prep. Working one on one with students to help them achieve their academic goals has been a deeply rewarding experience for me. I cherish the opportunity to share my skills and experience with my students, and I make their success my highest priority. I believe that with hard work and the proper guidance any student can be successful.

...and all the math behind it as well as the visual language of film and the humanistic touch of it. I believe in expanding the students' world by teaching not only facts and theories but the implication behind them in addition to sufficient application practice. I want the students to foster intellectual curiosity as they delve into a particular subject. Born and raised in Beijing for 18 years, I can also teach Chinese and the...

...only prepare students to exceed academic standards but also to be critical thinkers and curious, well-informed human beings. I recently completed a dual degree at Indiana University and moved to New York to take a gap year before beginning graduate school. As a scholarship student at IU, I majored in economics, cognitive science, and piano performance. Outside of tutoring, you can find me playing or teaching piano, doing jigsaw puzzles, watching TED talks, running, or...

I connect with people best through sharing ideas. The majority of my spare time is spent trying to simplify or find alternate proofs of basic theorems to make them more intuitive.... Focusing on beauty solves many problems a teacher faces. If I am attending a lecture about The Great Gatsby, I will be eager if the speaker tells of the beauty she sees, rather than a quick and dirty type of analysis. I regularly talk to...

...I emphasize 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...
