...grade, high school algebra, to UW 300 level probability courses. Math has been my favorite subject my whole life, and my goal is to become a high school math teacher. I know that some people are not the biggest fans of math, but I take it upon myself to help the struggling students, and maybe if they can see themselves succeeding in mathematics they will enjoy it more. In my spare time I like to...

...I am currently a Freshman at University of Washington planning on majoring in Chemistry. I've always been strong in math in science and have been helping people with these subjects since I've been in those classes. This year I am taking Calculus and Honors Chemistry. Many of the students that I have helped in the past tell me that they have gone on to learn the material much better. When I work with students I...

...moved to the United States to attend college at Brigham Young University about five years ago. I am a young wife, and my husband is a structural engineer as well! I started tutoring students my own age when I was in high school. My friends' parents would "hire" me to help their children, and so I started teaching material I had just learned myself. It was so much fun. After I got to college, I...

...In graduate school, I served as a lab TA in which I taught students about electrical engineering and helped the students with their homework, labs, and projects. Currently, I am an electrical engineer designing the next generation of power management integrated circuits. I chose the field of analog IC design due to the confluence of device physics, mathematics, and art. Outside of my work, I enjoy classical music and physical exercise. I currently participate in...

As such, I have 18 years experience and expertise in teaching introductory Physics courses (both Algebra and Calculus-based) at college/university level. My experience and education lends to me having not only comprehensive understanding of Physics and Math, but also a deep understanding of how to present/explain in ways that make...

...test prep: I understand that the SAT is a stressful experience for many students, and I vow to work with you to make it more of a fun challenge that you are ready to conquer. I firmly believe that taking charge of your learning and seeking help is an important part of your learning journey.

During my time at UW, I served as a teaching assistant for the introductory computer science course (CSE 160) over six quarters. I've worked with students from a wide range of backgrounds and skill levels, and I always aim to make complex ideas approachable and engaging. Whether it's breaking down a tough programming concept or helping with high school algebra, I focus on meeting...

...in doing it. I like to help students build a solid toolset of the skills they need to feel ready to approach any problem, whether it's reading or test-taking. My favorite subject to tutor in is Math! I'm passionate about getting girls (and everyone) involved in STEM, and believe that everyone can be a "math person" with a little dedication. In my free time, I love painting, hiking, baking, and hanging out with my puppy!

...and then give them the tools necessary to find their own answers. I know I've done my job right when a student has the confidence to defend their answers and don't just look them up in the back of the book. In the past I have tutored students from elementary school all the way up to college. I've given instruction in three different Chemistry lab classes, and I have helped students raise their grade in...

I tutor a broad range of subjects but mainly focus in Middle and High School Math and English. I enjoy working with...

...an honest try and that was when it started to click. Once I actually sat down with the real intent to learn rather than memorize the material, I was able to begin learning and from there I just wanted to see how far math can go. Once I reached Complex Analysis, I decided I had gone far enough lol. But the point is, if I can do it, anyone can do it and I am...

...and working on various academic projects. I have been tutoring math, physics, and astronomy for 3 years. My approach is to help individual comprehension rather than rote memorization. I'm interested in a lot of things outside of just tutoring! I enjoy bouldering, playing the guitar, programming, and hiking with my girlfriend and dog. If you live around the University of Washington, you might have seen me hosting public astronomy nights at the campus observatory or...

...ever been. I have been taught by wonderful teachers, and terrible teachers, and feel as though, given the chance, I could fit in somewhere in between, closer to the former than the latter. In school I loved and excelled at English and Drama, and since have developed a passion for Film theory. I'd love the chance to aid you in your learning, and can promise I'd give all of my commitment to your progression, whatever...

After my first year of...

...improve their SAT ACT and SSAT scores but I have also worked with a variety of AP tests. If I were to describe my teaching style, when it comes to standardized tests I'm not someone who likes to focus on memorization or learning specific math or grammar rules. I believe more points can be won/lost based on the process that a student uses to answer questions. How many times have you looked at the answers...
