Award-Winning Middle School Math Tutors for Students in Alexandria, VA

...of subjects, I am most passionate about Reading, Spanish and English. In my experience, the most effective tutoring occurs when the student can connect one of their interests and the subject matter, in order to make the subject less intimidating and more fun. I believe that education is the most important part of personal development, as well as the most effective tool of global change, and that it can truly change lives. A goal I...

...I can tutor, as I have earned A's in many different subjects while in high school and throughout my college career. Mathematics, however, is the subject that I am most effective at tutoring, as I have prior tutoring experience in mathematics and my college major relying heavily on mathematics. I believe that every student learns differently and that as a tutor part of my job is to convey information in a way that is tailored...

...academic background includes undergraduate degrees in International Relations and Psychology and an MS in Statistics. Currently, I’m getting my Statistics PhD; as a student, I continually appreciate how important student-teacher feedback is in enhancing the learning process. I incorporate this into my teaching by regularly checking my students' comprehension levels and crafting custom materials to address their particular weaknesses. I try to make the learning process disciplined yet collaborative, so the student feels like he/she...

...four years at GW. I love math and am capable of teaching any level from Basic Math to Calculus at any age group. I also teach Computer Science and am currently in the field of computer science as a Software Engineer for a private contractor. I take a personalized approach with my students because I believe that everyone learns and relates to material in a different way. I would love to get started working with...

...a tutor, I emphasize patiently guiding my student to the correct answer, rather than giving it to them. I believe this method is the best way for the student to master the material. I enjoy the "aha!" moment my students have when the concept finally clicks. In my free time, I work on my two tea businesses. During my senior year at Rice, I founded a student-run boba tea business. We currently have 13 student...

I'm a research fellow at the National Institutes of Health. I work on vaccines for parasitic diseases. My main interests are in global health and biodefense. I went to Johns Hopkins undergrad and for a masters in Molecular Microbiology and Immunology. My tutoring hallmark is teaching effective study habits. In addition to working on material, we can establish a schedule for your upcoming work.

...the NIH. I have experience tutoring college, high school, and middle school students. During tutoring sessions I like to pinpoint where the problem areas are and begin by working with students on the fundamentals. Once the basics are covered I like to work through problems together as a way to learn material, but ask that students spend some time studying topics at home/doing practice problems that we can go over during the tutoring sessions.

...in the cliché: the children are our future. For me, nothing is more exciting than witnessing the moment when a child realizes that he or she is learning. I have a fun tutoring style, as I know how cumbersome it is to have to study a subject that either one does not enjoy or that does not come easy to him or her. Math tends to be the one subject I've noticed that students typically...

...watch Netflix marathons of Dexter and Orange is the New Black, and go out with friends as often as possible. Music is my passion and I try to get out to as many shows as possible in this great city. I even ran a non-commercial radio station back in Boston! Because I learned how to study early, I have time to do what I want instead of locking myself inside a library every time I...

...Harvard University. During the course of my formal education, I served as a Teaching Assistant in General Chemistry, a Teaching Assistant in Introductory Biology, and a Teaching Fellow in Physical Organic Chemistry. I also participated in an outreach program in graduate school, the aim of which was to give disadvantaged high school students the opportunity to participate in scientific research. After my time at Harvard, I worked as Research Chemist specializing in science at the...

...something that I really appreciate. As a high school student, I was tutored for almost all four years and I realized the effect that 1-on-1 time has on a student who is either struggling or just needs some focused study time. While this is my first experience being a tutor, I know that I am proficient in teaching math, computer science, Spanish, and exam preparation specifically. My aptitude for teaching these subjects comes from my...

Education: Cornell University - BS Mechanical Engineering Georgia Institute of Technology - MS Mechanical Engineering Personal Interests: I really enjoy the outdoors and spend as much time as I can hiking, camping and cycling. I would welcome the opportunity to help you with any questions you...

...which led me to study science - the kid in me is what helps me connect with children. I place an emphasis on giving each child the tools they need to figure things out for themselves, especially for math and hard sciences such as chemistry. When students learn the correct way to approach problems, they learn not only their subject, but they learn "how to learn". Learning technical subjects need not be cold and rigid...

My academic background includes an undergraduate degree in International Relations and a Master's in Applied Math and Statistics, which I am currently pursuing. Outside of school my interests are reading, music, TV, working out, exploring the city, traveling, and generally keeping an open mind.... I like to adapt a teaching session to a student's strengths and learning styles. My focus in test prep is to develop deductive and inductive reasoning skills to ensure that all possible...

...informally. Among many experiences, I've taught SAT prep in a classroom setting, willed a friend in high school to pass his AP Physics exam by studying with him every day before practice, stayed up many a night in college meticulously editing essays for friends, and been a Big Brother (the program, that is). My philosophy around tutoring simply revolves around developing a vested interest in students' successes. I have some knowledge to share, whether it...

...this allows the student to behave more comfortably, and in turn, get more out of the material that they are learning. This strategy has worked especially well in the Baltimore City Prison. I do recognize that each student is an individual and may have different ways of learning material. Given this, I am very flexible and can easily cater to the needs that he or she may have. I look forward to helping you reach...

...I have taken various advanced classes in meteorology and atmospheric science and enjoy tutoring students passionate about the subject as well. Tutoring is something that needs to be adjusted for each student; however,I typically teach in a way in which the concept introduction is key before performing practice problems. I believe that although it may take a little longer at first to learn the "why" behind a subject, it produces greater understanding, and subsequently better...

...courses. My favorite subject to teach is intellectual property. I believe that every student has what it takes to score the A, it is up to the tutor and teacher to bring those skills to the forefront! Success is more about commitment than any other skill; with dedication and commitment anything can be accomplished! Sometimes a student just needs a push, pull, or different interpretation of the material. That's where I come in! I enjoy...

I am a freshman at the University of Virginia, working towards earning a degree in Computer Science and a minor in Business. Some of my favorite subjects include algebra, calculus, economics, and programming!
