Award-Winning Middle School Math Tutors for Students in Cary, NC

...students in chemistry, math, and other sciences at both the high school and undergraduate level. I really enjoy tutoring, especially chemistry, in that it allows me to interact closely with students to be better able to understand exactly where they might be having issues, which allows me to better assist them in mastering their subject. Outside of work and tutoring, I enjoy reading, going to concerts, and spending as much time as possible with my...

...trip to China in 2019 and I was able to meet some of my students in person. It was a life-changing experience! My teaching style really focuses on personal connection, and building that foundation first helps the learner be motivated and want to work hard together to achieve success. I love to have fun in class as we learn, and play educational games/sing with my younger students. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling and...

...for each student's needs. I do my very best to not only help students reach the right answer but to make sure they completely understand the subject at hand. It is important to me that students enjoy the learning process, so I aim to make tutoring sessions both intriguing and challenging. If I am not tutoring or working, I spend my spare time swimming, watching sports, basketball or football, and cooking. I look forward to...

...have a Russian heritage that can help out with colloquialisms and grammar. Languages and linguistics are fascinating to me and I don't get to speak mine enough, so please speak them with me! My physics background, as well as my years of teaching, means I know a disturbing amount of math (through advanced calculus). Yet, I've also been reading since I was old enough to hold a flashlight (my eyes don't thank me), so if...

...they walk into that testing room, whether for AP, ACT, SAT, or GRE exams. The process of applying to colleges and graduate programs can be very stressful at times, so if I can help you feel prepared to do your best, I would love to do so!

...quiz/exam preparation. I am excited to have another opportunity to help other students again through Varsity Tutors because I truly believe that education is absolutely imperative to a better quality of life and that everyone is fully capable of learning and making potentials to reality.

By encountering challenges, I believe a student's potential...

...addition to research I gained an appreciation of nature. I lived near a waterfall and I have hiked several mountains in the Adirondacks! In undergrad, I studied physics at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA. I fell in love with the city and physics and math during my 4 years there. I graduated high school from the Mississippi School for Mathematics and Science which is a residential public high school in Mississippi and frequently...

...Hill with a major in religious studies, but I have been tutoring since 2002, concentrating on math, the SAT, and writing. I believe each student is capable of wonderful things, both academically and otherwise, and that education is much broader than simply attending school. Some of the qualities I aim for as a tutor are patience, encouragement, and helping students examine difficulties with respect for their own abilities, which they usually underestimate. In addition to...

...of these pursuits, as my resume will attest. In my personal life, I have two grown sons and a very spoiled mix breed dog. I have lived in Milwaukee all of my life but got a chance to experience living and working in another area - North Carolina - for several years. It's beautiful there. I enjoy traveling to places I've never been before and meeting new people; shopping; reading; basketball and attending sporting events....

My lesson plans usually consist of worksheets and projects that focus on the area that is challenging for...

...alternative ways, and review the building blocks that the student needs to complete the tasks at hand. We'll work together so that your student gains skills and confidence. I've enjoyed working with preschoolers to middle schoolers, and high school students are a great group to interact with. Everyone has their own energy and personal story they bring to a relationship, so I can say I do not prefer one age group over another.... All things are...

I recently completed my Bachelors and Masters in Biology at East Carolina University. I have tutored in many different subjects for students, including students who have learning disabilities. Tutoring science is a passion and I look forward to working with you and your family!... Introduce myself, talk about strengths and weaknesses, and ask what the student wants out of the tutoring. After this, we can discuss test and quiz dates.... I would try out various study...

...I get to know my students the best, as we talk through dreams, aspirations, and life experiences. I view education as a skill; education is not around to help us learn specific things, but rather education teaches us how to learn. Outside the classroom, I'm a well-traveled certified SCUBA diver who enjoys spending time kayaking and weightlifting. I also played ice hockey through college and performed as a classical pianist on campus and in Europe....

...it. Education has opened up so many doors for me, and this is largely because I was fortunate to have some amazing teachers growing up who made learning fun (or at the very least not miserable). My goal is to do the same for each one of the students who I work with, and find ways to make even the most abstract concepts or complex math problems "click" in a student's mind.... Individualization is key. Find...

...are garden variety formulas, equations, variables, etc. in Mathematics and Statistics that may call for "memorization", but it is of utmost importance that a learner be able to use their own reasoning to work through problems. For me, it is important that I communicate problems in real-world context and emphasize that there is almost always more than one way to think about a problem. I truly enjoy connecting with individuals on how they reason and...
