Award-Winning Pre-Calculus Tutors serving Elk Grove, CA

Hi, my name is Tim Sherry and I am one of many Varsity Tutors. I attended Jesuit High School in Carmichael, CA where I graduated with a 4.3 GPA taking multiple AP and honors courses (AP Bio, Chem, Physics B, Gov, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, English Lit, and English Lang). I also participated in several tutoring organizations throughout high school. I then attended UCLA for my undergrad degree in Political Science (Class of 2014) while also completing...

I'm here to make the learning curve easier for you. That's my #1 goal.... Understand why you're learning your subject and it makes everything easier.... Find out the level of understanding the student has for their subject.... Explain lots of examples. And make sure they can do problems on their own.... Remind them why they're taking the class they're in.

I currently work as a math tutor at Mathnasium: The Math Learning Center, where I've been for the past year and a half. I've also tutored German privately and had 9 years working in church youth programs. My education has been through American River College and Sierra College, with my current degree being an AS in Mathematics for Transfer. I love to be curious about everything and to spark curiosity in others through teaching. My...

I graduated with a degree in Molecular and Cell Biology from UC Berkeley. My interests include hiking, cooking, crafting and learning. I have experience tutoring students in math and science. I focus on breaking down complex concepts into smaller steps so that the material is easier to grasp. Everyone has a unique learning style and I cater each tutoring session to the student's needs. I am a very patient person and will make sure the...

I am a senior studying Applied Mathematics at the University of California, Davis. I believe the most important quality in a tutor is patience. Everyone is capable of being great at math, but math is a very difficult and abstract topic, and the only sure path to success is through continuous effort. A tutor must have the patience to move through the subject at the student's own pace. Mathematics is important not just because of...

I am currently working as a tutor in Computer Science and Mathematics at American River College. I am also a father of two, with one on the way!

I am a Computer Science major currently studying at CSU Sacramento starting in Spring 2016. I studied Computer Science and Engineering for three years at Sierra College, taking math, science, and computer classes for the duration. Teaching is something that comes pretty easily to me - I've been a tutor for many people before, including friends, family, and classmates. Currently I am able to tutor in math, but soon I will be expanding that to...

I hold a bachelor's and master's degree in Statistics, and I have worked in a variety of roles at big companies as a data analyst, and statistician. My goal is to provide students with top quality tutoring by being attentive to their needs, and working as a team towards finding solutions. My teaching philosophy is to identify and strengthen areas of weakness, and encourage dedication to learning math because I firmly believe anyone can learn...

...look daunting, but it is doable. Sometimes it takes time to break down the problems into simpler parts, but it feels great once the solution is acquired. In my spare time, I enjoy being active; I like to play sports and exercise. I also enjoy practicing my guitar and piano skills. I believe that students have the potential to accomplish amazing things. My task as a tutor is to patiently guide and engage them so...

Despite graduating magna cum laude from a mechanical engineering program on a full scholarship, I didn't always like math and science. It can take a lot of effort to "click" with these kinds of subjects, but once you do, it's a surprisingly rewarding experience. (Yes, I am a huge nerd now. See photo.) You just need to break down the problems, recognize patterns, and apply the concepts. So if you're just required to take a...

...beginning of solving equations and I believe that a solid understanding of Algebra 1 is very important for students. My tutoring style is patient and enthusiastic. I enjoy math and I want my students to enjoy it too! My teaching philosophy is you cannot build without tools. In math you need to add every tool to your toolbox that you can because math is always a cumulative subject. Outside of academia I enjoy being around...

I obtained a degree in business administration at Cal State Long Beach, developing and applying math as fundamental as arithmetic in finance, as well as the complex derivatives used in economics. I am currently working on getting my teaching credential in Fundamental Math at Sacramento State. I do have a background in teaching, tutoring, subbing, and coaching. I am experienced in test prep, homework help, arithmetic, conversions, elementary and advanced English, but my favorite...... All things...

...school year. Additionally, while attending USC I worked with inner-city children to pass on my engineering knowledge with the Iridescent Learning program. There I designed lesson plans that would explore the wonders of engineering and each lesson culminated in a hands of building challenge of my own design. With all this experience I hope to continue helping children achieve their goals by being patient and understanding of their individual needs. I truly believe that anyone...

I am a future medical student and recent engineering graduate, and I look forward to working with students in math and science.... During a first session, I would talk with the student about their academic goals, and also discuss learning strategies that have worked well for them in the past.... I like to focus on big picture objectives. I believe it is more important to understand the foundations of a process and the overarching idea, rather...

I have been a math teacher for 10 years; I love math and I love teaching! I totally get it: for most people, the end-goal of studying math isn't to become a mathematician or to fall deeply in love with division and derivatives. For most people, math is just a tool that they need to use (or study) to achieve a goal (becoming a doctor) or to accomplish a task (figuring out how much paint...

...as well as gain an understanding of the concepts and material. It is not enough to simply do well. I want students to first have a desire to learn. I want them to understand the material enough to be able to do well on their own, and to help teach it to others. It is only then when they can accurately and confidently teach the material to someone else that they have truly acquired knowledge...

Hi, I am a Ucsd physics major and have plenty of experience working with children between being a tutor and having worked in childcare. I love both learning and teaching so I am very excited for these tutoring opportunities! My philosophy has a lot to do with bringing the subject matter to life for the student and making sure they gain enthusiasm and confidence with the subject as they learn and work through the material....

My goal here is to help anyone who genuinely wants to learn and prepare themselves for success in education and in life. I enjoy golf and travel.

I am a graduate of the University of California, San Diego. I received my my Bachelor of Arts in General Physics, focusing on Astrophysics, and minored in Management Science. I have tutored extensively before, tutoring local high school students, and becoming a lifetime member of the California Scholarship Federation in the process. Although I have tutored a variety of subjects, from Japanese to European History, I am most comfortable with Math and the Sciences. Although...

I am a graduate of Willamette University, with a French major and emphasis on Secondary Education. I home-schooled my children (now in college and beyond), and have been working as a tutor (SES and privately) for 8 years. I tutor most elementary subjects, but especially enjoy teaching math (through Algebra 2 and Geometry) as well as English/ Language arts (K-12), Spanish, and French. I enjoy helping others learn to ENJOY learning, as well as helping...
