Award-Winning Linear Algebra Tutors serving Maple Grove, MN

...a tutor began with one-on-one sessions and grew to include large classes. I taught my first 100-student session through Varsity Tutors. While it was initially daunting, it quickly became one of the most rewarding experiences of my tutoring career. My favorite subject to tutor is Algebra 2 because it forms the foundation for much of mathematics and is essential for success on standardized tests like the ACT and SAT. I believe the best way to learn...

...class where I helped students with grammar, finding themes in books, and developing strong thesis statements. Although I love writing, I am also passionate about mathematics and have taken math courses up to Linear Algebra, so I am happy to tutor any math course including or below that. I would describe my tutoring style as conversational, breaking down complex concepts, and learning through examples because that is what has helped me thrive academically.

...do so through the end of my senior year of high school. I also began tutoring in freshman year of high school through the National Honor Society, volunteering to tutor my peers and younger students in subjects ranging from Calculus to Physics to English and everything in between. I believe in positive reinforcement methods, and building confidence in the people I am tutoring so they can learn to have faith in their abilities and grow...

...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 access to these majors and jobs for the students whom I tutor.

...in turn makes me LOVE to teach! I believe every student can learn anything they set their mind to....we just don't all learn it in the same way!

I love math, writing, and reading, and feel very comfortable tutoring all levels of these subjects. Personally,...

...introductory microeconomics classes. In this role, I both held classroom sessions and tutored students individually. It was rewarding to see the results of my efforts and the impact I could have on other students. I am at an expert level in many math and economics areas. The key to my process is helping you not just 'get the answer' but also understanding the process of how to get there. I want to help students of...

School can be very challenging and require persistence and strong problem solving skills to excel at. I teach my students the kind of skills and habits to be successful on their own. I tutored biology, chemistry, physics, and computer engineering courses in college and enjoy solving the challenges that those courses throw at you!

...University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill (PhD in Chemistry). While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about science and mathematics.

...have a Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from Stanford University. While at Stanford, I tutored students in both class and individual settings. After graduating, I moved to Tanzania as a Peace Corps Volunteer where I taught hundreds of secondary school students both physics and math. Now that I am back in the United States, I work at Children's Defense Fund as the Youth Programs Associate. In my free time, I like to hike with my...

I enjoy teaching math because to the student who doesn't understand, it is a riddle with no answer. By teaching them how to recognize the type of problem and how to decode the clues, the student gets to be on the other side of the riddle, the side on which they solve it and feel good about it.

...the point of view of the student; I am not stuck in my own expertise. I am committed to finding effective strategies for facilitating understanding for each student, rather than just process. Special notes for Competition Math: I placed first in the Twin Cities (St. Paul / Minneapolis, MN) HS league twice, with one time being a tie. I qualified for the AIME twice exam via high AHSME scores. I was on the MN state...
