Award-Winning ISEE Tutors in Houston, TX

...arriving at a conclusion. Ideally, my job will consist of reminding the student of the tools at their disposal and they will make the leap themselves towards their desired answer. This ability to think about problems is not limited to mathematics and, if mastered, will stay with the student for the rest of their lives. Aside from mathematics I enjoy playing my piano. I especially love playing music from movie, TV show and video game...

...Master's degree in 2007 with a focus on Math Education. I took a break from teaching to join Youth With A Mission (YWAM), a Christian missions organization, and traveled to Rwanda on a mission trip before returning to the east coast to work as a tutor. I served as the main math tutor at an education center in New Jersey for two years, helping students with their school work and aiding them in preparation for...

...as a copy editor and reporter and worked my way up to serve as the paper's editor in chief my senior year. Since graduating from college, I have spent my professional career as a journalist, and have worked for a number of newspapers in different editor roles. I recently resigned from the journalism profession and am working to become a certified teacher in Texas. I am an accomplished media professional with a strong command of...

I just finished 5 years in the Navy, and I'm headed back to Rice University this fall. I graduated from Rice in 2007 and I'll be earning a master's degree in teaching. I love math, but physics and government/history are interesting too! I love teaching in a way that's fun as well as effective - that's the great thing about tutoring; it's as individual as the student!

I am a recent Rice University graduate with both a natural science and social science background. I have extensive experience working on test prep (ISEE, SAT, ACT, SSAT, AP, WISC) with students of all ages and in addition to experience tutoring in all academic subjects, I also have assisted high school juniors and seniors with college application processes and essay editing. I am also fluent in Mandarin Chinese.

...theoretical chemistry, and I'm currently a high school math teacher. In my graduate program, I taught small-sized undergraduate courses. I also have experience tutoring undergraduates and high school students one-on-one. After experiencing both, I believe a learning is much easier to facilitate in a one-on-one or small group setting. In this setting, I can observe how a student thinks and tailor my teaching style in a way that would most benefit the student.... Generally, the process of learning involves first mastering the basics and then building upon them. I believe that this applies whether you are learning math or learning how to dance. I find that reviewing basic concepts and learning how they apply solves most problems that students encounter.

...a big fan of the KISS principle, and am a big fan of efficiency, not just in technologies, but in our understanding and use of them. Over time, that has made me an efficient mentor, able to explain and expand understanding of questions without creating overreaching or false simplifications. Over the years, I've held several mentoring roles - as a senior research student, a laboratory engineer in charge of actually training newcomers, and now as...

...problems. I love helping students understand a concept that they previously struggled with. It gives you a good feeling to know that you have helped and could possibly have an impact on this child's or teenager's education experience. I absolutely love animals. I read in my spare time. I enjoy spending time with friends and family. If you feel that I'm the right tutor for your child, I'd be delighted to help.

...encouraging critical thinking, and integrating a variety of resources. Teaching in a bilingual classroom is challenging and motivating for any educator. Bilingual students are in need of special care and attention in the learning process throughout the year. Although some learners might have strong linguistic skills in their native language, they may have deficiencies in their second language; it is the task of the teacher to help guide the student through this learning process.... I believe that every child has the potential to bring something unique and special to our society. I will help children to develop their potential by believing in them as capable individuals. I will assist children in discovering who they are, so they can express their own opinions and nurture their own ideas. I have a vision of a world where people respect and accept the differences between us, as this is the core of what makes life so fascinating.

...frustrations of students who want to improve their performance. When I was a student, I excelled at school not because I'm naturally brilliant, but because I have high expectations. Although history and english and how to clearly explain concepts in writing came easily to me, test taking and math did not. I had to work hard to achieve my straight A GPA and test scores. I have sympathy for those who need to put in...
