Award-Winning Middle School Math Tutors

...subject everyone can learn and enjoy! In my experience, I have acquired alternative techniques in teaching to help students understand that math can be very fun, which gears students toward a less threatening approach to the subject. Viewing a student's face light up when they have tackled a seemingly impossible problem before my assistance is one of my most prized moments. In my students, I instill a positive mindset and encourage them every step of...

...into UCLA. I graduated this past June from UCLA with a B.S. in Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics. I conducted an honors thesis in Dr. Kohn's MIMG lab which allowed me to graduate with departmental honors. I also graduated with latin honors cum laude due to my high GPA. Last September I took the Dental Admissions Test and am currently applying to dental schools in California. I really enjoy teaching and would like to in...

...just a book worm though. I’m a huge sports fan (especially for my Buckeye Football National Champs!), I’m a total gym rat, and I have the stereotypical love for all things girly: hair, makeup, fashion, etc. Most importantly, however, I love teaching. I utilize my psychology experience to foster a comfortable environment for my students and help them know they are safe to ask questions. I work very hard to ensure that my students and...

...all have different abilities, learning styles, and interests. I incorporate different teaching styles and tailor my sessions to help all my students grasp the concepts we cover. My passion is tutoring Mathematics. The best part of my work is when I see the material click and a student who “hated Math” suddenly becomes enthusiastic and able to teach me the material. I know I succeeded when my students reach their goals and are no longer...

...for a non-profit education organization, Blueprint Schools Network, as a full-time Freshman Algebra tutor at Vashon High School downtown. I was formerly in public accounting for approximately two and a half years before making a career change to teaching in an effort to pursue roles in a field I am more passionate about. In my free time and during the summer, I support a high school buddy in operation of a locally-based non-profit service organization...

...in one way, so it is hard for some students to learn the material in that particular way. However there is usually always more than one way to solve a math problem. I always attempt to show two or more ways when it comes to solving complex questions. My goal is to help students succeed. I want to get them thinking positively, so they can do well in a math course, and eventually achieve a...

...to a student’s understanding. It is an integral part of my job to set a plan for students to follow, and implement it in a way specific to their needs. Over the years, I have developed a passion for the subjects I tutor. I not only teach the students the subject matter, but why it is important to their overall knowledge. I’ve enjoyed every moment of my past tutoring experience and feel rewarded by my...

...for over 3 years now in different types of subjects, but primarily in mathematics. Math has always been a subject that I have loved and grew up doing. The interesting part of math to me is the fact that it is used in everything we do, it just takes some understanding to see it. Furthermore, I have always been a vibrant and amiable person, who has always been excited to meet new people.

...University of San Diego. I am a Spanish major looking to obtain my credential in teaching. I love teaching and molding the minds of our youth. I believe that every student is able and capable of achieving all their goals. I have wanted to be a teacher, since I was in the 5th grade and I can't wait. I have student taught both middle and high school and have loved both experiences.... My teaching philosophy is that all students are capable of learning. A teacher just needs to find how that student learns best; once that niche is found the teacher and student would both succeed and accomplish great things.

...passion for helping students improve on standardized tests. I have over three years of experience tutoring students from grade 4-11 for a wide range of subjects. I am particularly passionate about helping students improve in reading comprehension, vocabulary building, and essay writing. While many students find these subjects daunting, I think that with the right strategies, anyone can improve in these areas. When I'm not tutoring, I enjoy reading, writing short stories, and regularly posting...
