Angel: Tennessee tutor

Certified Tutor

I've been a tutor for 8+ years and recently graduated from UC Berkeley with a major in Physics. To begin with, I've worked through online websites such as Princeton Review, Tutor Me, and I've also worked in person at high schools and at UC Berkeley itself. I've noticed certain patterns of learning in the students just like you, such as common traits in starting thoughts or methods used when attempting to solve a problem. Moreover, as you work through the problems, it's common to get distracted, get lost, or get burned out. Nevertheless, with good guidance, by re-contextualizing and supplementing information, you can find a way to recuperate momentum and gain invaluable problem solving and analytical skills which are at the forefront of many other problems in other disciplines. My experience has allowed me to learn from individual students and groups of students. In individual tutoring, I have a better grip of the thinking process of the student so that I can help them more accurately understand the problem. If you select me as your tutor, I will do my best to adapt to your learning aperture and take you to the forefront of the understanding of the problem with a personalized approach. On the other hand, when tutoring a group of students, I obtained a better view of what their common traits of thinking are as an average control group of students within a specific topic in a subject. From this second viewpoint, I will limit my examples, analogies, and standpoints when adapting to your learning style. Both scenarios have taught me to personalize and limit my tutoring methods towards speed, accuracy, and understanding.

What I can offer you, is to improve your learning curve and subsequently improve your scores by guiding you to approach, track your work, trace back mistakes, and corroborate the final answer using different tools to achieve consistency. I can do this, in the subjects of algebra 1, algebra 2, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, differential calculus, integral calculus, multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations. In certain occasions, I can also tutor general chemistry 1 and 2. These are all science subjects ranging from junior and senior high school to lower division or freshman and sophomore university level courses that have many structure similarities in problem solving and analyzing skills.
