I have worked with a variety of student ranging from 5 to 35 years old. I am very patient and always using efficient techniques in order to explain concepts to my tutees. I worked with both LAUSD and LA's Best After-School Enrichment program where I had to create age-appropriate lesson plans. I enjoy making Mathematics...

...methods for maintaining an open mind for effective learning and memory. My methods can be, at least in part, attributed to my passion for motor sports, which began in rural Michigan. Through racing, I embrace incredible focus which assists me in every area of life. I encourage every student to seek their passions in life, as well as healthy calming and focusing techniques in order to be the most motivated and successful each individual can...

...professional business writing, government and history. I am also well versed in a range of science subjects, particularly physical and earth sciences. In my family education is extremely important. Both of my older siblings are teachers, my sister teaches high school English, my brother teaches middle school Algebra and Geometry. Like them, I genuinely enjoy helping students find new ways to understand and relate to material which they have previously found challenging. In my spare...

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.

...knowledge I have acquired over the years with others. My tutoring experience ranges from high school level (Algebra I & II, Geometry, Precalculus, and Calculus) to college (Calculus, Multivariable Calculus, and Linear Algebra). I love meeting individuals on their level, analyzing their mathematical thinking, and building a deeper understanding from their foundation. Beyond my love for Mathematics, I enjoy running, practicing yoga, and reading a broad range of subjects and genres that enrich my understanding...

...audio, etc.), and aim to keep students engaged by using real life examples that they can connect to. Learning requires engagement and I try to make math concepts more reachable for all students. Outside of school and teaching, I enjoy cooking, reading, catching up on television series, and enjoying the outdoors. Originally from San Diego, I am a loyal Chargers fan and love being close enough to my friends and family there.

...name is Abraham and I will be helping you with your ACT math and science portion. I am also available to help you understand algebra, trigonometry, geometry, pre-calculus, and calculus. I've always had a knack for teaching people math and conveying concepts in a simplified manner. Most of my students have understood where they may have gone wrong in their reasoning or understanding of a certain mathematical concept. I'm here to help you break those...

...is, and ought to be, for its own sake. Math and philosophy, and their nuanced interactions, are my great passions. I've run more 5ks and 10ks than I can count, but the validation of completing a long race is nothing like the satisfying moment of writing "Q.E.D." on a difficult proof. I'm a scholar of the Western canon, greatly influenced by great thinkers and writers of the past such as Plato, Virgil, Aquinas, and Anselm....

...I am hard working and I love seeing others succeed. I will able to tutor for most of this summer, so about from the end of May to mid-August. I am on break and would love to tutor. I will be able to tutor for about 20 hours a weekor more, depending on what comes up this summerpreferably during the day but if evenings are prioritized then I can work evenings as well.... I will help...

...had the opportunity to tutor peers and underclassmen both within and outside of school. Over the years, I've developed a strong enthusiasm for STEM educationparticularly in mathematics and the sciencesthough I'm also capable of supporting students in English when needed. I believe that learning is most effective when supported by others, whether through teachers, mentors, or peers. Having personally benefited from tutoring, I'm committed to helping students overcome academic challenges and discover their own passion...

...An analogy or picture might work for one student, and completely bewilder another. I think the key to helping students trying to explain something in various ways until I find an explanation that clicks for that particular student. I also strongly believe in drawing pictures to explain concepts and to help visualize problems. I've even developed a lecture series I gave at PSU on using different techniques to visualize Linear Algebra concepts. I'm looking forward...

...for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate-level courses! These experiences were so enjoyable to me, as I love explaining the concepts and ideas that pique my curiosity. As a musician, I am pursuing a career as an orchestral conductor and I've spent over a decade playing bassoon in orchestras and chamber music groups. To me, conducting is to music what teaching is to math: I get to guide people's understanding and enjoyment of the music through...

...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 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 I am willing to share my study plan to ones who want to...

...with the assignments they are given, and are able to retain and utilize the concepts that I have taught them. I know that they usually understand or master the topics I teach them, because I informally assess them at the end of the session and their results are at or above the level they are expected to be at. In addition, I use approaches where I relate the subject matter to their personal interests where...

...I believe has made me a very effective instructor/tutor. When a student says that he/she does not understand a concept, I will often ask him/her a couple follow-up questions in an effort to identify the root cause of his/her misconception. Then the student and I can go to work on clearing up this misconception. In general, my goal is to help students first understand WHY certain mathematical principles work, because then it will be easier...

...to tutor anyone in courses that require math and/or economic reasoning. Asking why and how a problem is done instead of just asking for the answer is what I'm looking for in a student. I can be of assistance for the whole semester or just for a test coming up for the class. As long as we are scheduling time to ask why and how to approach the problems, I am on board.... Before going over...

I graduated from Old Dominion University with a Bachelors in Physics. I'm currently a graduate student pursuing a PhD in theoretical physics. I immensely enjoy what I do, and that passion is what fuels my tutoring style. I specialize in tutoring for Differential Equations and Multivariable Calculus, these courses are often difficult to conceptualize and I enjoy communicating the ideas to students. ... The most important step towards understanding problems and mastering subjects is learning the...

As a master's student and former medical student, I know how challenging academics can be. I also know how having a helping hand, a guidance through the confusion, can help one gain confidence in themselves to excel. From tutoring children to post-graduates, I have seen that all students (no matter their age, level of education, strengths, weaknesses, etc.) who are willing to learn can succeed. ... In a typical first session, the student and I usually...

...tests, and the MCAT. I sincerely believe that while 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...
