Award-Winning Graduate Test Prep Tutors in Madison, WI

...regional Chinese newspaper in the Philadelphia area. At Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, in China, I was a merit student with experience leading my student council and the university's orchestra. In Philadelphia, I earned my Master of Journalism degree at Temple University. I owe my knowledge to the great Teachers and entrepreneurs of American journalism and to those whom I interviewed, observed and documented. Now I want to pass my knowledge and experience on to...

...and really enjoyed the student-teacher interaction. I am looking to continue this through tutoring students in the Phoenix area. Some of my favorite subjects to teach are science, math and writing I am easily able to pull items from my experiences to relate the material to the student and help assist in the learning process. I have a diverse background working as a stem cell researcher, QC microbiologist, and now a chef at a local...

...over a decade of experience teaching middle school, high school, and college level mathematics in Wisconsin public schools and universities. I have been a tutor, a classroom teacher, and a teaching assistant. I hold two Bachelor of Arts degrees, one in Mathematics from UW Madison and another in Mathematics Education from UW Stevens Point. I recently completed my Master of Science in Mathematics Education from UW Oshkosh. I am fascinated with mathematics and enjoy teaching...

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 people who admit math wasn't their favorite subject in school. Some were self-conscious. Some had gaps they never filled. Some just didn't care. Whatever the case, I admit to them that math is my favorite art form with as much room for expression as sculpting or jazz. I claim that mathematicians are half artists, half observers of fine art. My conversants often tell me it is an epiphany for them to think of math as such, and that it helps heal their math wound. A marvelous way I have found to unveil beauty in the classroom is by using surprise. I like to present ideas from a simple perspective, discuss them briefly, then release a theorem. Thales' theorem (the diameter of a circle subtends a right angle to any point on the circumference) is a great example, especially with the aid of Java applets. After playing a bit with triangles by moving points around in a worksheet, it's surprising to be able to connect two structures as basic as a right triangle and a diameter. Next in importance to marveling at beauty, I want students to learn to think critically to solve problems. Understandably, some students have never had guidance past high school drills. All the more, problem solving should be emphasized and revisited throughout college curriculum. I have many years of experience in problem solving competitions and a collection of principles regarding problem solving that I like to follow. One is about inverse problems. Consider the following: if baseball cards are five cents apiece and shipping costs fifty cents, how many cards will one dollar buy? After making the arithmetic clear, students had better know how to calculate the forward problem, i.e. "How much will x number of cards cost?" I'm depending on them knowing the forward problem because we covered it last week, but it is important to bring it out in more than just a mention so the students have a comfortable base to start. It's like revisiting rational numbers before diving into irrationals. They are intrinsically tied, and it gives the class confidence to start with old material.

...science courses was largely similar, the style of teaching was not. In animal science, professors focused on the practical application of knowledge and creation of experiences that were hands on in their approach. I aim to being that type of learning to my students. By making content relevant and relateable, students are better able to retain information. Since first pondering the importance of teaching methods, I have completed my masters degree at Edgewood College; spent...

...so am able to work on any writing assignment. I also tutored math and Arabic when I was an undergraduate. I am comfortable in algebra and geometry. I am happy to work with you in studying for exams such as the ACT, PSAT, SAT, and GRE as well (I have taken them all). Outside of academics I am interested in getting outdoors, hiking, snowboarding, and doing sports like soccer. I also enjoy reading and beading...

...work on a masters at University of New Mexico. I have taught lab courses in introductory physics and tutored college and high school students in physics and math. I am interested in making physics and math relatable to people who are not naturally adept at it. I have taken the SAT, the general GRE and the physics GRE subject tests. I also play trumpet and have studied music theory in music camps and AP music...

I am a current attorney looking to tutor or teach individuals who need help with test prep, law, politics, and general school subjects. I believe that there are many ways to get to the right answer and I want to provide students a calm confident presence to help them reach their academic goals.

I am an educator who loves to help students reach their goals. I have taught for many years, and always enjoy the challenge of working with a student who is struggling with the content they've been assigned. My goal as a tutor is to help students succeed while challenging them to use their critical thinking skills, regardless of the subject.... I spend some time getting to know the student and try to quickly understand their needs, strengths, and weaknesses. I also ask them about their honest attitude to their subject.
