Award-Winning IB Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches Tutors for Students in Bucks County, PA

My name is Howe. I graduated from Wesleyan University in May, and I recently moved from New York to West Philly, where I am very excited to be working with Varsity Tutors. I love being able to work with students in a one-on-one setting; for students to truly grasp difficult concepts, they must be able to discuss the material freely with their teacher, which is rarely possible in a classroom setting. For writing especially, one-on-one...

...has always been my passion. When I was in elementary school, I would write down the names of all my favorite books and compile it in a journal so I could remember for later. Even now, 13 years later, I still do that. I hope to carry that same passion for learning through my tutoring classes and convey the interest I have in exploring new subjects to my students as well! I am currently a...

I also love to cook and enjoy eating even more! To counter my love for food, I enjoy running, yoga, and any fun...

I am a recent graduate of American University in Washington DC. I received my BA in Political Science. Prior to attending college, I graduated from the West Windsor Plainsboro School District, so I understand how stressful and competitive academics can be in and around this area.

...with that being said, I am currently in the process of applying to Medical School so that I may begin working towards my Doctorate in Medicine in the Fall of 2014. When working with students, I try to approach problems from various angles as often science has parallels in other fields. In addition, we all occupy the same world and therefore have some degree of intuition as to how things should work. I like to...

...the real world applications of what they learn. I am a firm believer in "practice makes perfect" and that a full understanding of concepts is more beneficial than root memorization. I custom tailor my sessions to the unique needs of each student and take extra time outside of sessions to create additional study aids to address any unmet needs arising from each session. I am eager to work with you (the student) or your child...

...and bringing the discussion to that place so we may reach our goal. My style of teaching constantly adapts to the needs of the individual student, using visual aids, mnemonics, and emotional support as needed. One of the best compliments I ever received was from a rival who sat in on a physiology tutoring session I led in graduate school. He said, "You break it down so that a six-year-old could understand it." This is...

I will work one-on-one with your student to help them work hard and achieve their...

I had some great experiences with classes of students and individual students as well. It was my moment...

The purpose of language is communication, not only to speak but to understand. I'm a native Spanish speaker who went through the process of learning English several years ago.

I help my students learn and practice Spanish whether it is to support them at school, business or at work or to...
