Award-Winning Finite Mathematics Tutors for Students in San Mateo, CA

...Degree in Mathematics from Johns Hopkins University. As you might guess, I specialize in teaching mathematics, though I can also tutor in physics. I've tutored and taught students both online and offline ever since I got my Bachelor's Degree, including during my time at JHU, in subjects ranging from basic arithmetic to differential equations. My teaching philosophy is "math is easy"; my goal is to make sure you understand why math is intuitive and natural,...

I have been tutoring since 2008. I've helped 1000+ students to improve their understanding in general chemistry, biology (especially in genetics, anatomy, and microbiology), most physics courses, organic chemistry, math (algebra, geometry, and pre-calc), ACT, GRE, DAT, MCAT, and other test prep. I have a level 1 & 2 tutor certification from the College Learning and Reading Association. I offer one-on-one, small group, and online tutoring.

I have long enjoyed enjoyed working with others to help them achieve personal goals. Some of the most fulfilling tutoring I have done recently have been tutoring immigrants for the US Citizenship Test, helping formerly incarcerated individuals attain their GEDs, and tutoring children in Honduras on conversational English to obtain high-paying jobs in the tourism industry. I'm thrilled to work with anybody on any subjects of interest, reach out with any questions!

...received excellent teacher evaluations at both the University of Texas and Singapore University of Technology and Design. These two universities have students that are very different from each other and I excelled in teaching both groups. My background is in mathematics, I have a bachelors and masters degree in math from UT and NYU respectively, but I branched out from pure math and received a PhD from the McCombs School of Business in financial engineering....

I have been working with a spectrum of students for four years, from students who just need a little direction to students who need a heavy hand. My favorite subjects to teach are math, physics, and reading comprehension. I am currently studying Computer Science at UIUC. When I tutor, I try to engage the students in a new way and ask them questions to push their learning.

...math, and I spent the majority of my four years there working in the math tutoring center. I loved being able to work one-on-one with students and see their growth as they started to understand the material. I strongly believe that understanding concepts is just as important as being able to work out technical problems, and that all students (regardless of perceived mathematical intelligence) have the ability to do so. I also understand how mathematics...

...teaching. I have tutored students age 7 - 22 in subjects from French to Math to Biology. As a tutor I am patient and kind. My goal is for all the people I work with to gain a deep understanding of the subject matter they are studying. I have great success in achieving this goal because of my passion for math and science and my dedication to the people I work with.... When I work with...

...it still amazes me how a few simple equations can apply to so many situations, including things we experience every day. My preferred teaching style involves a little bit of give and take. I think I excel at giving students new ways to think about certain problems which may give them a better understanding of the material. I don't feel like it has been a productive session unless I come away having learned something as...

...University and Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. I am thrilled to be carrying my love for mathematics into the future in the form of tutoring. There are few things more beautiful or satisfying to me than the way complex equations break down into simple, easily solved calculations. My goal in tutoring is to ease the stress that frequently occurs when a student encounters a difficult problem and to show students how to put equations into...

...goals in mathematics. I think that one-on-one sessions are invaluable to students struggling in a classroom environment. Sometimes teachers do not have the time to give sufficient personalized attention, the way a qualified tutor can. I believe that I can help motivate and encourage students who are currently having difficulty. I teach in a conceptual manner, encouraging deeper thought, rather than pure memorization. I have been a mathematics tutor for over twenty years. I started...
