Award-Winning Intermediate Algebra Tutors serving Maryland

...and music publishing for five years. My favorite subject is math because it involves critical thinking and universal concepts. My teaching philosophy is to target the student's source of frustration, to ensure correct terminology using the student's course materials, to provide strategies for memorizing information, and to focus the bulk of the tutoring session on the student's homework or projects. In addition, I am very understanding, patient, and kind. My hobbies include music, poetry, songwriting,...

...easier - especially for those who get stressed during exams. I recognize that every person learns differently, so we will take time to tailor our sessions to your learning style. I graduated summa cum laude with a bachelor's degree in applied mathematics and focused much of my studies in nonlinear dynamical systems, though I have a great love of many pure mathematics topics. I look forward to working with you or your child to help...

...on Excel Basics before as well. My major is accounting so I focus mainly on accounting, but I have taken all of the business core classes including economics, finance, management, and more. I have also tutored all core accounting and upper accounting courses to college students for over 3 years now. I love to help others and show students how looking at things from a different angle can change their whole perspective on the subject...

...as they arise, and being enthusiastic with the subject material so as to maintain the students' interest. With these traits and characteristics as the backbone of my teaching/tutoring philosophy, I have been, and believe I will continue to be, quite successful at helping students achieve a greater understanding and appreciation of mathematics. As for my qualifications, I have a B.S. in Mathematics from Wake Forest University, an M.S. in Mathematics from North Carolina State University,...

I seek challenges and like to help others.

...love of Math and Science to the students. My goal is that the student will gain a thorough understanding of the subject and find enjoyment in learning it well. I believe that a good foundation in Science is an essential part of the education of a well-rounded member of society. Science and Math help develop critical thinking and give students the tools they need to make wise decisions in life. During my spare time, I...

...aircraft carriers in a one on one format. Through my experience I have gained a deeper understanding of how to adapt my teaching style to fit a student's individual needs. I enjoy helping students of all ages and learning levels, and I like to see the pride they take in completing difficult tasks. When I'm not working you can usually find me hanging out with my two dogs and some friends, playing sports, or relaxing...

...and helping others come to understand the subjects they are studying, especially in a broader context. I work with my students to ensure not only that they perform well in their classes or on their exams, but also to advise them in areas of interest for writing papers/theses, and help them to tie what they are learning into the broader context of their lives. I believe that this approach makes learning more enjoyable, interesting, and...

...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 from wood (I am at the table- and chair-level, definitely not the...

Thanks to one-on-one help in middle and high school, I not only achieved stronger grades/test scores, but gained the confidence I will continue to use even beyond graduate school. I hope to give others the same invaluable tool set!... The ways I've always preferred to learn myself are typically the ways I teach. Once it seems like a student has a pretty strong understanding of a subject, I like to play competitive or timed games. It...

...years of tutoring and teaching students in mathematics. I am a graduate of Temple University (B.S. Education) and Wilmington University (M.B.A) where I have dedicated my studies to promoting educational equity, I am a student-centered teacher/tutor and I know how to look at students strengths and weaknesses, dis-aggregate data and create individual learning plans for students. In addition, I create fun and engaging lessons and teachable moments in order to promote authentic learning opportunities!

...working with youth, both in and out of educational settings. Before and throughout college, I participated in several tutoring initiatives and worked with students of all levels. Between graduating in high school and starting freshman year of college, I taught a seventh grade math class for three months during a year abroad in Ghana. I also spent a summer doing GED tutoring for participants of an alternative incarceration program in New York. My favorite subject...

I have tutored high school math for 13 years and before that I taught math and its applications to other subjects in universities, so I am confident that I have the knowledge and skill set to assist you. I have come to realize that tutoring is about figuring out what a student knows or doesn't know or has misconceptions about. This requires interaction, empathy, motivation and understanding.

...about education and do whatever it takes to make sure the students I tutor feel the same. I enjoy many other things as well. I am very much into the arts. I was an art major in high school. I am an actress, writer, and director; actually writing and directing my first stage production two years ago. I also choreographed several dance pieces in the production, as I have been a dancer for 17 years....

...success from executing the plan I make with a student, yields a feeling of accomplishment and happiness that the student, parents, and the teacher can enjoy. This is what I strive for with all of my students. I have a degree in Chemistry and working on completing another degree in Medical Laboratory Technology. My main area of expertise with teaching is in all levels of math, especially in algebra. I am a musician and have...

...science major, I have a secret love for math and absolutely love tutoring in it. Outside of academics, I have a plethora of hobbies. I do a number of physical activities such as soccer, weightlifting, and running (did track and cross country in high school). I also watch Netflix regularly and play a number of video games. Overall, I'm an easy person to talk to and I know we'll definitely have something in common!

...tutor is Statistics, because it is a highly marketable skill that is in high demand in the workplace. My approach with tutoring is to maintain a positive, professional, encouraging, and fun environment for the student. Besides working, I strive to be the best husband and father to our two little boys. I am also active in church and exercise regularly. I hope to not just help students academically, but also serve as a professional role...

Walker Governor's School graduate), I discovered a passion for helping others and I now have had hundreds of hours of tutoring experience in a wide range of subjects including chess, computer programming, math, and SAT prep. In addition to the subjects previously listed, I would also tutor Spanish and chemistry as they are subjects I am comfortable with. Outside of academics, I enjoy playing chess (rated 2013 USCF) and tennis.

...for. For mathematics, I've taken up to Calculus BC in high school, and Multivariable Calculus at UCR. I understand the concepts, but I can also explain them using applicable examples. Really, math is like a language; you need to know the basics before you get speaking fluently. Math can be difficult, but it can be even more fun once you get it. To me, chemistry is the perfect blend of science and math, which is...
