Award-Winning IB Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches Tutors for Students in Maryland

...thing about my teaching style. I was never someone who simply "got" things in class. I often struggled to understand relatively simple concepts, especially when compared to my classmates, whether that was in test-taking or in any academic subject. So, I know what it's like to really wrestle with a subject, and I know what kind of assistance is helpful (and what kind of assistance/teaching is not). I think this--empathizing with a student and knowing...

Hello! My name is Brooke and I am a former psychology professor! I also used to work at a Sylvan Learning Center, where I tutored K-12 and college students, and as a substitute teacher for K-12 classrooms. My specialty is psychology and statistics, but I have also taught Spanish, reading and writing, math, and study skills. I look forward to working with you!

...that a good education was crucial to your future. Since then, I have tried to encourage other students to strive for academic achievement. I graduated from the University of Florida with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. I also received my TEFL certificate in 2012. I have taught English in South Korea for two years at an after-school academy. Since then I have also taught debate and juvenile justice civics class to middle school and...

...believe that it is important to impart important concepts and problem solving mechanisms to people because it allows them to learn a process that can be applied to different problems in life outside the exam setting. I definitely try to impart my passion for problem solving onto people I tutor. In my spare time, I enjoy playing and watching most sports but especially basketball, tennis, football, and cricket. I also enjoy participating in cultural clubs,...

...both in and out of tutoring sessions. My favorite part of tutoring is seeing students improve and build confidence in areas they used to be nervous about or dislike. One of the reasons I enjoy tutoring French is that I myself was initially very afraid to learn a foreign language. I had a speech impediment as a child and had to attend speech therapy, so I know very well how nerve-wracking it can be to...

I earned my undergraduate degree in biochemistry at Brown University and my Ph.D. in immunology at the University of California, Berkeley. I have been teaching both introductory and advanced biology courses at the University of Maryland, College Park for over 10 years. For fun I enjoy reading science fiction, doing crossword puzzles, swing and ballroom dancing, and playing ultimate frisbee.... I try to bring a broad perspective to my teaching. If one approach doesn't click, then...

...Since I have been on the other side of the picture, I know what worked best for me and hope to incorporate those techniques in my own practice. I love teaching and the feeling it gives both me and my student to see improvement. Practice is key in improvement, and I will make sure to provide ample opportunity for my students to do so. I hope that my passion for teaching will rub off on...

...remediate skill gaps and enhance the growth of my students. At TMA, I led my students to impressive results on the PARCC, with 81% of students scored at a Level 3+, making TMA the fourth highest performing school in DC. I pursued my Masters of Science in Education at Johns Hopkins University while I was teaching and currently possess a Standard Professional Certificate for Secondary Mathematics (7-12) from the state of Maryland. As a teacher,...

...student finally understands a new concept, or applies a concept I have taught them to a real-world scenario. Though I particularly love to tutor students in programming (especially Python or Java) and all levels of math up to Calculus BC, I also find it enjoyable to tutor students in SAT English and Math. I believe in a project based and interactive approach to education, in which students talk as much as tutors, leading to them...

...Law and Diplomacy, so I am able to help students with history, political science, or other social science courses. In addition, I have years of ESL experience, and have a TESOL certificate certifying my professional skills in teaching English. In addition, I am a published author, and was a Senior Editor for the Fletcher Security Review, so I would be happy to help with any writing or editing tasks. Lastly, I have taken the SAT...

...the student and I can simultaneously improve in a process that never ceases to make us better. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy pretty much any activity that gets me outside, especially if that outside happens to be in the woods or near the beach (I am from Florida after all...). While outside, I usually find myself running (again, in the woods if possible), reading, or attempting to channel my inner-Ron Swanson by building things...

...variety of subjects, especially in the areas of mathematics and science. I have tutored students before for SAT prep and have experience with teaching anatomy. I also taught tennis for five years which is where I gained most of my skills in teaching. I really enjoy teaching and I find it extremely rewarding. I love working with students to help them grasp new concepts. Most crucially though, I like to inspire students to want to...

...you are currently grappling with. I have been fortunate to do well in my own academic pursuits: earning a Bachelor's in International Affairs & History from Georegetown University and a Master's in Education from Valparaiso University. I have taught for four years in a few different departments, but mostly in the social studies. I offer tutoring in the social studies, mathematics, and Spanish as well as test prep for the SAT & GRE, both of...

...I find it extremely enriching to help students see the potential in themselves when it comes to a standardized test or a speech mainly because I remember being in the same positions not too long ago. When I am not working or reading about the news, you can usually find me being active. I am a soccer fanatic as well as an avid hiker. And when I have no more energy I can be found...

...continue my post-graduate plans, I'd like to use my spare free time to help students in a variety of subjects. I have worked with students in a variety of settings, including summer camp, a magnate high school, and a private English school in South Korea. As a tutor, I'll help you gain subject mastery through a methodical approach starting with fundamentals and patiently building towards complex concepts. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, board...

Michael has taught a number of other courses over a four-year teaching career, namely...

...I scored in the top 98th percentile on the LSAT and specialize in helping students using proven techniques to increase their scores. Specifically, I can help students more easily break down the types of logic games and to distinguish between right and wrong answers in the Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension sections. I enjoy helping others obtain their educational goals, and would love to help increase your test scores, grades or simply to understand your...

...University of Maryland. I am a current substitute teacher in the DC public school system, with experience at the elementary, middle school and high school level. In addition to general education and small group intervention, I have performed multiple, long-term special education assignments working one on one with students. Having returned to school to receive a second bachelor's, I am also aware of the challenges and constraints faced by adult learners. I look forward to...

...a graduate of Johns Hopkins with a degree in both neuroscience and psychology! I love being able to help students connect with their "why", and making study materials fun and relevant to their goals. I currently work as a researcher in the field of child and adolescent mental health, and I would love to connect with any student who's interested in the science of mental health. I grew up in Seoul and Hong Kong, and...
