Award-Winning IB Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches Tutors for Students in Cedar Park, TX

...inaccessible way. Specifically in the context of standardized testing, they are asked to memorize and regurgitate information without truly grasping its content; such a style makes it impossible for students to approach unfamiliar problems and think critically, and often contributes to their discouragement and their writing off of entire subjects like math and science. I attempt to give students the ability to think critically, relish the problem solving process, and come to solutions on their...

...as well as SAT/ACT and MCAT prep. My favorite classes to help students with are biology, physics, biochemistry and statistics! I took 14 AP classes in high school, and retook many of the math and sciences class in college. I think this helps with tutoring because I learned the material multiple times and from many great teachers, so if a student doesn't understand a concept at first, I can hopefully explain it in another way...

...excel at what that person chooses. I earned a Masters of Fine Arts at California Institute of Integral Studies in Writing & Consciousness. And earned a Master of Science Health Science at Touro University International, graduating Summa Cum Laude. In Taiwan for 2 years, I worked with college students, which was great fun. I like to use conversation and unconventional means like playing "kick the can" in Yangminshan park to help them learn about ice...

...in English literature. My tutoring subjects include English literature and writing as well as creative writing. I am particularly passionate about writing. The thing that excites me the most about tutoring students in this subject is that I get to enable them to become better communicators.

...very passionate about science and math and frequently tutor in these subjects. My approach to tutoring these subjects is to allow the student to fully comprehend the logic behind the concepts. In order to do this, I frequently use pictures, diagrams, models, and physical representation of the process at hand. Allowing the student to visualize the process gives them a greater ability to understand problems related to it. This approach is especially useful in science...

My professional background is in aerospace engineering and software development, where I applied math to real world problems on a daily basis.

...learned materials during their teacher's lecture. A tutor's job would then be helping those students invest their time in digging deeper into the material, and into their own ability to self-teach themselves. Sounds strange? May be, but the fact is that tutoring is not teaching, and a motivated learner must realize that a tutor's objective is enrich the learner's self-learning, not teaching. I have always enjoyed tutoring and will love teaching once I receive my...
