Award-Winning Middle School Math Tutors for Students in Philadelphia, PA

Every student is different- just because the book says there is one way to solve a problem, does not mean it is the only way. I work with students to help them with the process of 'discovery' through questioning and experimentation. Ultimately, if I've done my job correctly, you won't need me at all!... The student needs to celebrate the small victories. It does not matter the size of the progress being made as long as...

...undergraduate student studying Chemical Engineering with a biotech concentration at the Georgia Institute of Technology. My favorite subjects to learn are math and science, but I mostly tutor math. I believe learning should be fun and hands-on so that students actively learn and want to learn the material. Outside of school, I am the Finance Chair for the Asian American Student Association at Georgia Tech, I lift and stay active, and I love baking and...

I enjoy helping others and look forward to the interactions I have with students that I help. I like to make things as personalized and easy for you to understand.

...be very simple and sometimes very complicated, but I always look for ways to make analogies to things students feel more comfortable with so it doesn't seem like I'm speaking a foreign language to them. I get a personal sense of satisfaction when someone stops and goes, "oh, I've never thought of it that way before - now it all makes sense." In addition, often times I feel the education system here is misunderstood and...

...engineer. Some things about me: I've resided in Saint Louis my whole life and am very familiar with the area. I love the outdoors and take runs around my neighborhood every chance I get. I enjoy kayaking, hiking, camping, and mountain climbing. I love to read and learn things that are outside of my immediate skill set. As a tutor, I look forward to encountering various learning styles and adapting my own teaching style to...

...Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Genetics. I love tutoring General Chemistry because of the many "Aha!" moments when students suddenly make connections from chemistry to the real world. My experience with tutoring has led me to believe that discovery-based learning is the best way to solidify concepts. For this reason I focus on teaching how to use the tools available, like modeling kits and textbooks. In addition to being a huge science nerd, I love reading...

...I was sixteen, a homeschooled kid with a passion for community-building. One day, I was sitting in my local library, studying, and I overheard an elderly teacher mocking and ridiculing her pupil for getting something wrong - that was the only catalyst I needed. The quality I am most proud of in myself is my compassion, and as a teacher I believe that compassion and patience always come first. There is never room at the...

...active engagement with my peers, and have extensive experience creating review material for exams as I led study groups in Science, Math, and English classes through high school and college. While I tutor many subjects, I hold a place in my heart for Science, since we can use it to understand our world in so many different ways. I've also competed in and ran events for Science Olympiad, a competitive science tournament for K-12 students,...

...15 years at different colleges and universities. I have a bachelor's in Mathematics and a PhD in Statistics. My central role as a math and statistics educator is to provide tools and resources to students in order for them to achieve their goals and have fun while doing it. My main approach in teaching is to engage students individually or in groups by using question-and-answer sessions, discussion, interactive lecture (in which students respond to or...

...subjects to teach. It is so satisfying for both the student and I to see the student's hard work come to fruition through a good test score or just a clearly better understanding of the topic. Learning should be fun - not just sitting at a table cramming information into your head. I try to take this approach with my tutoring and hope that each student has fun during our session! In my spare time,...

...During my time at UPenn, I had the pleasure of serving as a mentor for a College Achievement Program, where I utilized my time to help my pre-med and engineering students face their science courses, among other things. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Biology and Chemistry. My experience of preparing for the MCAT exam (and scoring in the 94th percentile) motivated me to help other students struggling...

...first began tutoring and discovered that I really like it, I mean really. I genuinely like Math itself. I feel Math is a major avenue through which we describe and gain insights about the order and patterns of the universe. Working one-on-one with students to help them understand Math and Physics gives me a sense of gratification. There is something uniquely delightful about seeing someone "get" subject matter that they did not get before and...

I believe that...

...Environmental Engineering. I am currently working in Philadelphia's Old City where I am a Civil Engineer Airport Designer.
