Award-Winning IB Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches Tutors for Students in Chandler, AZ

...Wood Chemistry. I enjoy the challenge of solving problems and I have used that as my basis for careers I have chosen. Here is a little of my Philosophy of Teaching..... Learning is, of course, the main purpose of education. I feel that the concept of learning should be molded around three steps. First, learn and understand the material presented. Second, independent thought is essential to the development of every student. Being able to form...

...most basic point in a topic which is causing confusion, as grasping these points often leads to my peer or student being able to figure out later points on their own. I also strive to explain concepts in ways the student hasn't heard before, as simply repeating a lesson which confused them seems unlikely to be helpful. Outside of tutoring scientific topics, I enjoy creative and artistic hobbies like singing, sketching, and playing video games.

...with all of this was invaluable. With more of a hands on approach, applied science and math allows you to take what you think you learned in class and see it in action in real life experiences. The experiences allow better integration of abstract concepts into reality, concreting what you know and leaving you with a desire to find out more. I attended college at Northwest Missouri State University and received a B.S. in ACS-accredited...

...experience working with students of all ages from middle school to middle aged. My greatest skill as a tutor is the ability to adapt challenging material to the viewpoint of my students. This allows me to build bridges of understanding that help more analytical people feel at home in creative disciplines or vice versa. If you are a gifted artist struggling with Math, or an aspiring scientist struggling with creative writing, I'm your man! I...

If you want it bad enough, you will find a way to get there. I'm a writer, with three traditionally published mysteries and a children's book.

...I have experience as a teacher in public and private education. I also have experience with tutoring in home settings and in an online learning lab. Mentoring is also something that I enjoy and it has become a way of life for me. I worked for a mentoring program called MentorKids USA where I supervised mentors, connected with families and planned activities. In addition, I have experience in working with students of other cultures, since...

...understand much of the material and it was extremely boring to me. I understand the perspective of struggling students more than most. It was only until I failed college algebra and had some significant reflection that I realized I loved math. Since then, I have self studied my way back on track, switched my degree path, and got a job tutoring on campus. I love teaching others and have found that teaching people the intuition...

...test preparation. I am particularly passionate about Psychology and Biology and find the scientific process to be exhilarating! My goal as a tutor is to not only help students understand the material on a conceptual basis but to also help them develop strategies for learning and studying that best fit their unique ways of thinking. As a neurodivergent individual, I am passionate about accepting and accommodating all forms of learning and thinking and I understand...

...we start with what we know and seek new knowledge that connects from there, learning will be easy. The average person needs 10 times to master any new knowledge. It is totally normal to forget and need to review previous knowledge. Each time we relearn material it is easier and is more likely to be permanent. Vygotsy's theory of the "zone of proximal development" or ZPD states that a person will learn best within the...

Currently teaching in Arizona, I am dedicated to...

...with a B.S. in Physics and minor in Astronomy and in 2024 I graduated from the University of Denver with a M.S. in Data Science. I work as a Computational Astrophysics Researcher studying stellar variability and sky image processing. Since working as a summer camp counselor, I have enjoyed teaching. This interest was expanded when, during my Master's degree, I worked as an Adjunct Instructor at NYU's Department of Physics teaching Labs and Recitations for...

...a few. My favorite subjects are business related due to the ability when teaching to showcase the material against past and present situations. My most important attribute mentioned by my students is how patient I am with them. My teaching philosophy is grounded in two very important notions; learning requires the student to be active in the process and that the teacher must place the information presented into real-world context. It is my responsibility to...

...be taught as well. This helped me become a more effective tutor because it allowed me to expand my teaching experience. I believe you can never fully understand a subject until you can teach it so through tutoring, I am able to assist the student in learning the material while solidifying my own knowledge. The most important part of my lesson plan is to make learning enjoyable. A tutor must be able to quickly identify...

...knowledge with those around me. My favorite courses to tutor are predominantly quantitative. I like to treat these courses like an intricate puzzle that I have to solve using the skills in my "skill tool belt". I would love to share my enthusiasm for these courses with the students I tutor, helping them realize their skills and increasing their confidence in the material. It is extremely important for me to see my students succeed not...

...past 19 years. I have 9 younger siblings and the youngest one will be starting kindergarten in August (can you believe that?). I am currently going for two Master's degrees from ASU. The most important thing that I remember to do throughout my day is to keep a smile on my face. No matter what I'm going through, I always look at the bright side of things. I am looking forward to interacting with all...

...side, but my passion in tutoring and mentoring is deeply rooted in my experiences during my academic pursuit. As a student who struggled through middle school and high school, I was lucky to have encountered great tutors and mentors who aided and provided me the tools to become successful in academia and my personal life. I became motivated to become that same role model and educator for others. I began tutoring during undergrad, emphasizing in...

...I have taught third and second grade and plan to "loop" up with my third graders and teach fourth grade. I have been tutoring one on one with students for three years as well. I have experience tutoring students of all ages in all subject areas as well. Sometimes the student just needs additional help in fluency while others need help understanding abstract concepts and working on critical thinking and problem solving. In addition I...

...I received a NASA Space Grant and began research with the U.S. Geological Survey Astrogeology Research Center in Flagstaff, AZ. This project eventually became my Master's Thesis. I graduated a second time from Northern Arizona University with a Master's Degree in Applied Physics.
