...hours from start to end until I get it right. My whole life I have always been the guy on the other side of the table. I am the guy who always gets tutored, and that is why I make a great tutor. I know how people want to be helped, I've been there. I love tutoring people in anything: college essays, algebra, linear algebra, calculusanything I have ever loved to do. Tutoring has taught...

...a pre-med senior undergraduate student in the University of Urbana Champaign. My strength in tutoring is high school algebra and geometry, and college chemistry and organic chemistry. I got a 800/800 for my SAT quantitive section and 1460/1600 in total. I also got 800 for my SAT2 math test and 740 for my SAT2 chemistry test. I also got a score of 169/170 of quantitive section of GRE. I am currently preparing my MCAT and...

...one-on-one with students and see their growth as they started to understand the material. I strongly believe that understanding concepts is just as important as being able to work out technical problems, and that all students (regardless of perceived mathematical intelligence) have the ability to do so. I also understand how mathematics functions to gatekeep some students from certain majors and jobs later in life, and it is my hope that I can help provide...

...in Computer Systems Engineering. Before college, I was valedictorian, got 5s on a variety of AP exams and achieved a 99+ percentile SAT score. Right now I'm a web developer! My academic success is linked to the amount I studied; however, I owe the majority of it to the wonderful professors and tutors I've had in my life. They've shown me that everyone has the potential to become a top student. I've been tutoring for...

...some of the concepts presented in these subjects and tests seem initially very difficult, they become much less intimidating if you have the confidence and perspective to look at the problems from the right angle. They don't have to be so challenging! I like to connect on students' levels and help them to find that confidence. In my free time I enjoy playing guitar and collecting music, reading, and spending time outdoors.

...Mathematics from Purdue University and have worked as an Actuary for 25 years. Many students feel like they're bad at math, when they're really just missing one or two key concepts. I enjoy one-on-one tutoring because I can talk to a student, identify issues, and help in understanding the concepts and ideas. We'll draw pictures and graphs to illustrate, and explain it all in language the student can understand. Hearing a student say "Is that...

...of Stanford's d.school, where the curriculum is all about the "design thinking" framework for creative problem solving pioneered by the international design firm IDEO. While typically used in startups to develop new innovations, I've found it extremely handy in tutoring. Every student is different and so are their difficulties, so a finite set of ways to present a concept or tackle a difficulty is potentially limiting. In my experience, it's much more effective to use...

...department, and also studied broadly while in university, with coursework in mathematics, cultural studies, economics, and business. The subjects I tutor are Japanese and different levels of mathematicsfields that I particularly loveas well as standardized test preparation (SAT, SSAT, ISEE, and HSPT). I have found that studying becomes more enjoyable and effective when content is connected with examples of application. Finding funny, memorable ways to apply course content is my favorite way to internalize the...

...who struggle with subjects like math because of the feeling they do not posses the analytical skills needed to achieve success. In my experience, every problem can be tackled in multiple ways, both creatively and analytically; it takes finding the way that makes the most sense to the individual. This approach is very helpful with Standardized Test preparation where it becomes important to not only answer the problem correctly, but quickly as well. In my...

I am a recent graduate of UCLA. I majored in Business Economics and Minored in Mathematics. I began tutoring because I love to teach. My philosophy is that if you can't explain a complex idea to someone who is unfamiliar with it then you do not fully understand it. I plan to attend a graduate program in Mathematical Game Theory by the fall of next year. After the program I want to become a professor.
