Award-Winning Middle School Math Tutors in Los Angeles, CA

...ages ranging from second grade to well into college. I really like teaching math and the sciences since everything is highly concrete: 2+2 will always equal 4 whether tomorrow or thousands of years into the future. There are also many different approaches to math many of which are correct, and it becomes a matter of preference to which method you like the most. I think education is the most important thing; it really serves as...

...ability while making my approach efficient and thorough. My client may ask for specific questions at any time if they are confused or want to focus more on something to further their understanding of a certain topic. As for my personal interests, I enjoy playing/watching basketball and baseball. My favorite teams are the Lakers and the Dodgers. I love listening to music, mostly Rock. I also enjoy photography, film, and playing video games.... No student is unteachable. Everybody has the potential to learn; they just need to be taught with the correct approach.

...calculus, physics and science to middle-school, high school and college students. Of these, I am most passionate about teaching math. Growing up in a family of math teachers, I caught the math bug at a very early age. Practicing math and logic problems was a weekend hobby. I want to pass on this passion for math to other students.

...a do-it-yourself attitude. My speciality is in writing and revising essays because I love helping my students to develop strategic tools and mentor their personal growth. Whether it be college application essays, literary analysis, or personal narratives, writing by nature is personal and requires not only structure and organization but also an understanding of self. My students were accepted at top institutions such as Emory University and Seoul National University with their outstanding college application...

...an interdisciplinary liberal arts major at UT. I’ve taught English in Taipei, Taiwan, where I learned useful techniques to teach ESL to a fun kindergarten class as well as after-school groups of elementary and middle school students. Working with students whose native language is not English was a great challenge and pleasure. It was enriching to see students grow with the language and build tangible skills to communicate in English. I enjoy working with students...

...and understanding is what I bring to every student I tutor. I try to show my students why the number pi is used rather than telling them it equals 3.14. I look for parallels between the material in front of us and their own life so that tutoring isn't just an extension of a lecture period. So far I have tutored one-on-one with students ranging from 5th to 10th grade. When I started tutoring 3...

I have a passion for language and enjoy sharing that passion with others. My favorite subject to tutor is Spanish because I...

...at the University of North Texas. We mentored and tutored girls from the 4th and 5th grades in science. Additionally, we taught them how to develop testable hypotheses, plan experiments, preform controlled experiments, and analyze the data they generated. I really liked making a difference in the lives of these girls, and imparting to them my love of science and math. Since then I have tutored friends, classmates, and coworkers. During college I was the...

...high. After the Peace Corps, I moved to Raleigh, NC and started taking my first steps towards becoming a credentialed teacher. I was accepted into a program called Math for America, which is based in Los Angeles and I've been living here for the past few months while attending graduate school at USC. I really enjoy math. I always tell my students that to recognize that math is challenging is to take the first step...
