Award-Winning ASPIRE Tutors in Maryland

...taught math, computer science and english speaking skills. This is why Mathematics is my favourite subject to tutor. I am also comfortable tutoring for standardised tests such as the GRE and SAT. My goal is not merely to teach facts and formulas but rather to help the student develop the intuition behind them. I value critical thinking and problem solving skills and that is what I would like to teach my students as well. These...

...Algebra 1 & 2, Precalculus, AP Calculus AB. I taught Calculus 1, 2, 3 and Numeric Calculus from 2007 to 2011 in the Federal University of Lavras. Then I moved to Washington DC as a full-time math/science tutor since 2012. I'm an energetic and happy teacher and I absolutely LOVE what I do! I really didn't have the best math teacher in high school and I know how it feels not being able to understand...

...July 2015. As someone who struggled with math and science in high school, but excelled in these same areas with the application of organization and effort, I feel confident in my ability to guide other students through a similar process. In terms of teaching experience, I taught ESL at a high school in Thailand, I co-taught Environmental Education to middle school students in Cameroon (in French), and I also tutored middle school students in math...

...I have learned as a tutor/teacher is that every student learns differently, and it is crucial as an educator to be able to adjust accordingly. I pride myself on being able to adapt my teaching/tutoring style to meet student needs. This includes: being patient with students as they work through problems in their own way, being resourceful and prepared in order to respond to students' questions as they arise, and being enthusiastic with the subject...

...I was part of a staff that took a student body that had an average of a 6th grade reading and writing level in our 9th grade class and led them to the highest overall growth recorded in the district and the second highest in the state of Colorado. According to nationally normed standardized testing, the average student in my reading/writing classroom that completes the work with me grows approximately two years in their abilities...

...my Bachelors in Mathematics. Two years later, I received my Masters in Education Administration. Eventually, I would like to have a PhD in Education Curriculum and Instruction. I have been in education for the last 8 years. I started off as a substitute and tutor for a school district. I also worked as a Math Tutor for my college. I was able to help and shape the minds of students with the concepts of mathematics...

...to each of my students depending on their needs. I really like to focus on what it is that you need and hope to achieve and go forward from there! In my free time I like to hang out with my two rescue dogs and spend as much time outside a possible. I've recently gotten into kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding. I also love hiking and checking out Baltimore's food scene as often as possible!

...to interact with different students and hold a class on my own. Currently, I am a calculus teaching assistant and math tutor at UMD where I am able to gain teaching experience every week. In my free time, I love watching sports and listening to music. Not only are these two things that I love, but I actually completed two research projects in college focused on math and music and math and sports. One of...

Thanks to one-on-one help in middle and high school, I not only achieved stronger grades/test scores, but gained the confidence I will continue to use even beyond graduate school. I hope to give others the same invaluable tool set!... The ways I've always preferred to learn myself are typically the ways I teach. Once it seems like a student has a pretty strong understanding of a subject, I like to play competitive or timed games. It...

...five grant applications that together awarded me over $14,000 and gave me amazing opportunities that confirmed my love for writing and introduced me to a new passion: education. Junior year I traveled to Cameroon, Africa, where I collaborated with the PeaceCorps to host a drama camp for village teenagers (all in French). I created the program and called it “Strong Voices" since its purpose was to encourage self-awareness, improved communication skills, and confidence within Cameroonian...
