Award-Winning Philosophy Tutors serving Folsom, CA

...goal. I couldn't reach that goal without my mentor. My mentor taught me more than just English, Writing, ACT/SAT, he taught me humility, determination, and confidence. For these reasons, I am still in contact with him today. As a tutor-- mentor-- I will help my mentee achieve their goals (academic and mental). I will work with them hour by hour to the best of my ability to deliver what is necessary to achieve their goals....

...I saw from people 100 feet up a rock face. I used my guiding experience to help one student overcome what had become a debilitating and illogical fear of math in order for her to pass a college placement test (which she had failed many times previously) so that she could go on to pursue her own passion of fashion design. Through all of my experiences, I have continued to pursue my passion for learning,...

...Calculus and AP Physics, and my favorite courses during undergrad were in Moral Philosophy/Ethics. While at OSU I worked as a Peer Tutor for the University, where I tutored mainly Mathematics ranging from Pre-Algebra to Calculus. I enjoy tutoring math the most; however, that may be due to the amount of time I've spent doing so. I would love the opportunity to tutor a student in less-frequently requested subjects like Philosophy! My teaching philosophy is...

...application process. Given the substantial weight of the LSAT in the admissions process, however, I am particularly passionate about helping students master this test. I know from personal experience that the LSAT can be frustrating, but I will help students to break down each section and minimize the test's intimidation factor. With patience, repetition, and an understanding of how the test writers think, the LSAT can become predictable and even enjoyable. I want to help...

...know each student's particular academic needs and goals. When it comes to SAT prep, I believe that understanding the material is always more important than simply understanding the test. I teach specific testing strategies and tricks, but I ensure that at the heart of my tutoring is the academic material itself. A student who simply masters the strategies and tricks might do great on the SAT, but the student who understands the material will do...

I'm a recent graduate of Baylor University with three years of experience working with freshmen and sophomore college students. My degree is in Psychology, Great Texts of the Western Tradition, and Creative Writing. I've read, written, and edited in a range of subjects, from scientific research papers to literary analysis and poetry. I look forward to helping you grow as a writer and reader.

...enjoyable to me, as I love explaining the concepts and ideas that pique my curiosity. As a musician, I am pursuing a career as an orchestral conductor and I've spent over a decade playing bassoon in orchestras and chamber music groups. To me, conducting is to music what teaching is to math: I get to guide people's understanding and enjoyment of the music through intimate interpersonal communication! It is endlessly fun and rewarding.

...school to travel, handle some medical issues, work hard, and do some soul-searching. I enjoy reading and writing, being outside and active, cooking and eating good food, playing guitar, climbing rock and ice, and being alive. I am extremely passionate about learning, and love to get people excited about it as well. I like to say that I teach "maieutically;" which comes from the Greek and means "to midwife, or aid in giving birth," in...

...advanced level, and I consider it of cardinal importance to equally value the successful communication both of elementary topics, such as algebra 1 or German word order, and complex ones, such as deontological critiques of utilitarian ethics. By valuing all levels of difficulty, I am able to give students a firm foundation, with which they can grasp truly complex ideas in the topic at hand and in their future learning. While my interests in the...

...the help of a friendly and encouraging guide. I want to lead students towards academic independence through connecting what they are assigned to learn with what they know well already or what they are skilled at, so that they don't feel as if they are approaching their task with no preparation. I would also like to aid in the development of strategies that are applicable to general assignments instead of focusing on learning a subject...

...experience tutoring and teaching languages, writing, testing strategies, and other various subjects for students from elementary through college. Additionally, I am well-versed in university admissions for both graduate and undergraduate programs, and I can offer consulting on how to develop applications. I believe in making learning relatable and fun; rather than lecture my students, I design engaging and entertaining lessons, exercises, and even games for them. Understanding of material comes from active participation.

I am a young high school teacher possessing a great passion for helping students succeed. I look forward to working with your son or daughter! A little bit about myself, I hold a B.A. in History and International Relations...

...for my 72-page work in the History of Science. I was also a committed Teaching Assistant (TA), going so far as to get special permission to TA Logic as an undergraduate due to my passion for teaching the subject, and participating in cross-departmental Physics-Education studies during my two semesters as a Physics TA. I have always gone above and beyond in my teaching efforts, making sure that the learners not only understand the material, but...

...summers working on a ranch in eastern Idaho. I have worked in publishing and painting. I've taught courses for junior and senior high school.

I have taught four history courses at the college level, and I currently work as a Head Teacher at a learning center. I have over 6...

...in upper level college courses. I have tutored throughout high school, college, and graduate school, with great success. When it comes to my tutoring style I truly believe that if you cannot explain something simply, then you do not understand it properly. That is why I endeavor to give the most straightforward explanation possible. I am a firm believer in contextualization - most especially in history - as it offers a broader and deeper understanding...

...upon the premise that knowing how to think is much more useful than knowing what to think. My sessions are characterized by frequent questions and discussion of basic concepts, making sure that each student understands not just the "what" but the "why" of each topic so that each new concept builds on the last. I strives to foster independence and a love of learning in all of my students, beginning with myself; it's always easier...

...with one another, and gain from that experience something much more than what can be learned individually. It is for that reason that students need to interact with their learning, such as with a tutor, in order to better cement the content learned in school. I feel that I am qualified to guide students on that journey. I hold a master's in education from Grand Canyon University and a Bachelor of Arts in Education from...
