Award-Winning Math Tutors for Students in Stamford, CT

...in the medical field. Nevertheless, I found Spanish and the social sciences to be fairly straightforward which allows me to tutor these subjects with great clarity and focus as well. The one thing I stress to every student is that to completely comprehend subjects, one should not just memorize the steps to do the problems but rather embrace the concepts to learn the material inside out. As leisure, I watch a few T.V. shows that...

...from math and science to standardized testing, but I especially enjoy tutoring in the areas of English, literature, and writing. I believe in creating a specialized tutoring plan to address the particular needs of my student. My emphasis is on creative (and hopefully fun) learning techniques that engage my student and help him or her confront problem-solving in a way that best suits his or her learning style. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy...

...high school and college students in a broad variety of subjects. Although I am passionate about all of the subjects that I teach, I have always been especially interested in Biology, and I love working with students to see the big picture connections between the facts of life. In general, my tutoring style focuses on drawing generalizable principles out of the material to help a student internalize and fully absorb content, which I believe makes...

...with writing and how I overcame the troubles I had when I was learning about the foundations of writing. I also like tutoring in math, specifically Algebra 1 and Algebra 2, because of the fun nature behind these topics. I strongly believe in visualization. I think this is the best way for a student to understand concepts, especially when it comes to complex topics in math. I also believe repetition and examples are a great...

...tests such as the ISEE. My students have ranged in age from preschool to college level. I have a Bachelors and Masters degree in education from Southern Connecticut State University and a Sixth Year in education from the University of New England. I hold a TESOL certificate for teaching English to students of other languages. I look forward to working with my Varsity Tutor students. Let's have some fun and learn some exciting things.... Many times,...

...I appreciate and respect math because of the precision, creativity, and attention to detail that it demands (and hopefully you will, too!). Geometry and Algebra are arguably the most strategy-oriented fields, and thus they are my favorite to explore. Tutoring should be engaging and dare I say enjoyable. Beyond the problem sets and test reviews, my task is to help you become a better and more creative thinker. The brain is a lot like a...

Hi! I'm a freshman at Princeton University from Greenwich, CT. I'm currently pursuing a degree in Operations Research and Financial Engineering, with a certificate in Computer Science. I'm also fluent in Chinese, and currently taking a heritage speaker's Chinese class here at Princeton. I'm more than happy to help you with any math/science/Chinese questions!

My bachelor's degree in math comes from Fairmont State University. I have over four years of experience in NYC public schools, and I'm embarrassed by the lack of effort put forth to instill the importance of a Mathematical mind. I feel like my love and enthusiasm for Math makes me an excellent tutor.

I graduated from Yale University with a degree in Math and Philosophy. Currently, I am a music and entertainment critic-hopeful. I have tutored for over four years now with specialties in mathematics, logic, philosophy, English, and the ACT.

...in a student???s head. The excitement I got from seeing other people learn pushed me to apply for tutoring and teaching positions shortly after I graduated from Pacific. After graduation, I decided I wanted to pursue a career in medicine but I wanted to work while I got my resume ready for the medical school application process. In the year between graduating from Pacific and starting at Jefferson Medical College, I worked as a math...

...covered all that's needed to make my students a success! I have spent years working with national organizations for gifted students and also with students with learning disabilities. This gives me a special perspective on ALL learners and helps me tailor the best course of study for all of my students. In my spare time, I knit, love to visit new places, read about educational technology, spend time with my family, cook, and assist in...

A tutor passionate about math and understanding the material with depth. My goal is to make sure you have a thorough and deep understanding of what you are learning.

...library. Through these experiences, I have worked with a wide range of students, tailoring my teaching style to meet their unique learning needs. I tutor Middle School Math, Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Calculus 1, SAT, and ACT. While I enjoy tutoring all these subjects, I am particularly passionate about SAT and ACT prep, as I believe that mastering test-taking strategies can open doors to incredible academic and career opportunities. My approach emphasizes building a...

...very rewarding because working with them to find the approach that best caters to their needs feels awesome. As a tutor, I always ensure that my students have a good qualitative understanding of the subjects they are struggling in before helping them with quantitative problems. For example, rather than simply telling my calculus students the formula for integration by parts, I first show them how it is derived so they acquire a good grasp of...

...graduate program (and with an eye on my future financial situation), I decided to take a swing at the LSAT. I studied hard over a two-month period, and I took the LSAT Flex in June 2020.* *Since July, I have worked with over 20 LSAT students. With each, I have learned more about the LSAT and more about how best to articulate the keys to succeeding on it. I can't wait to share what I've...

...the box and really challenge themselves to find novel ways of conveying concepts to students. Tried and true methods are always great in the classroom, but to work one-on-one with students requires a different approach. It's also critical that learning be something students want, not grudgingly sit through, so that their academic success is tied to their ability to understand and engage the material, not to what score they get on an arbitrary test.... Every student...

...to do well in academic settings and test-taking. Much of this success derives from long-hours devoted to assignments and preparation, but no small part owes to the way my mind learns. My mind is suited to books and the classroom, and this is a convenience for which I am very fortunate. I recognize, however, that every mind learns in its own way---a reality that institutional education cannot accommodate. I make it my priority to determine...

...kindled by upperclassmen and teacher assistants that helped me when I was in introductory courses. I credit attending weekly tutoring hours throughout college as playing a pivotal role in my success in these courses and the MCAT exam. I enjoy sharing and explaining concepts I understand and helping others appreciate them. Ultimately, through these experiences, I discovered that I deeply enjoy aiding students and enriching their understanding of the subject to the point of witnessing...

When I was in 8th grade, I was struggling with pre-algebra (I couldn't seem to wrap my head around distance/rate/time problems). I found myself loathing a class I had once loved. I started working with a tutor and going from barely getting by to being successful in that class was a very fulfilling feeling that I hope to continue to pass on to others.... The best teachers are always trying to learn as well.... Get to...

...outside of education, is music. I worked throughout college as a music director at Wesleyan's radio station, and currently work as a producer and staff writer for Afropop Worldwide, a non-profit radio show dedicated to African music and music of the African diaspora. I also love watching independent films and reading fiction and philosophy. I love living in Brooklyn, but I enjoy leaving the city to go hiking, and I bike throughout the city as...
