Award-Winning Geometry Tutors in Santa Clara, CA

...Francisco for the summer. I attended Lowell High School and discovered my love for Math and Physics as a student there. I am a very curious person, always trying to learn something new. This is probably why I was so drawn to Physics in the first place. As a current Physics Major at NYU, I have gained a very strong understanding of all Math and Physics. In high school, I tutored students in Spanish and...

...reinforce knowledge and understanding in a way that best compliments the learning style. People learn things differently and at different paces; when students struggle with a subject, it's usually because their learning style conflicts with the style or pace with which it is being taught. Tutoring one on one gives us the opportunity to learn at the student's optimal pace. I earned a B.S. in Neuroscience and a B.A. in Psychology at UC Santa Cruz....

...Poly, I had the opportunity to tutor several fellow students in College Physics and high school students in Algebra II and Geometry. I am passionate about learning, and I am eager to share my love of learning with others. I greatly enjoy the challenge of tutoring and believe that all students deserve help who need it and are willing to learn. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, running, hiking, and spending time with my...

...needs. I like to first gauge what come easy for a student and then build on that basis. Over the course of switching from major to major, I have noticed that my learning style changed from visual to abstract to rote and a lot of in-betweens. This has definitely made me able to understand different learning patterns and to be able to employ these in tutoring. All in all, I am a friendly and enthusiastic...

...the value in me as a tutor is teaching students how to solve problems on their own, instead of just relying on me to give them the answers. I can teach students the importance of not giving up, ease the pressure they get from academics, and help them to comprehend the learning material more easily. I am able to put myself in their shoes and help them guide through each problem, essay, and assignment.... Someone who teaches should be in the same standpoint as the student.

...Social Studies, U.S. Government, Biology, and Social Studies. Of the many subjects I have helped my students with, subjects involving math or politics have been my favorite, because both challenge me to think creatively and critically. My tutoring philosophy is to help create independent and critical thinkers. My style reflects this style: The ultimate goal in every tutoring session is NOT to get the right answers, but to understand the concepts being taught and to...

...the body which is why I love physiology. In addition, I reviewed for the MCAT by myself with my own exceptional strategies and so I am very comfortable helping students with every section of the test. When I tutor, I tailor my teaching style so that I can pinpoint the exact misunderstanding my student has with the concepts/material they are trying to learn. This style makes me an efficient and effective tutor. I am a...

...it as a challenging job, but also as enriching, enlightening, and awesome (and I mean awesome in the strongest sense of the word)! I am so happy to be able to continue that work with Varsity. In terms of the subjects I am comfortable teaching, of course Math and French are what I have the most experience with. But I would love to be given the chance to tackle new things as well! For instance,...

...minors in Biology and Chemistry from Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI. I completed my MD from American University of Antigua and am currently preparing for my USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Examination). I have taught high school Sciences in the past and can teach most Math through Calculus. While at Marquette, I completed a congressional internship on Capitol Hill with David Obey (2003), so I also specialize in AP US History and AP Government.... My approach to teaching is to see that my students have a solid foundation in whatever they study and are able to move forward in the material. I believe science and mathematics are the foundations that we can see in the world around us.

...get the most out of tutoring. During my free time I enjoy baking, spending time with friends at a park, and going to music festivals. I also love exploring the city of New Orleans when I???m at school, and I even still enjoy wandering San Francisco despite having lived here my entire life. I think everyone has the potential to succeed in whatever subject they choose as long as they put their mind to it....
