Award-Winning Pre-Calculus Tutors serving Kirkland, WA

...students in these subjects. 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....

...idealized airfoils to test in aerodynamic efficiency (computational fluid dynamics) programs I have written in MATLAB. When leading a tutoring session, I like to go through problems methodically, and break them down into their simplest components and concepts before explaining the full solution. I find that this way, complex concepts in calculus and physics become easier to remember, when they are grounded in simple principles. I love to draw attention to the way that complex...

...of Washington with a major in Computer Science. As such, I tutor mainly subjects in STEM ranging from algebra and calculus to a variety of coding languages. I have always enjoyed learning and teaching fields in STEM as they have a definitive answer and it is up to the student to understand and apply it. However, this then requires teachers of STEM to adapt and specialize their patterns most suitable for the learner. Personally, I...

...that I gave math 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...

...so fascinating because of it's predictable nature. It let's physicists predict the existence of stellar objects--like the prediction of black holes by Einstein in the early 1900s-- predict where our spaceship will land if we fire the rocket at this or that angle, or predict if and how it is possible to produce clean, near limitless energy in the form of cold fusion. It also, by its nature, seeks to explain the different phenomena and...

...capable of learning and try to cater my instruction to the learning styles of my students. When doing math, it is easy to get discouraged and feel like we will never understand something. In reality, being stuck on a problem is a fundamental part of doing math, and there is a lot that we can learn from getting things wrong! In my free time, I love playing music, playing volleyball, and going on long runs...

...students of all ages, mostly in math (my favorite), but also physics. One of the reasons I'm so passionate about tutoring is when I was a student struggling with calculus, my school's tutoring center saved me. I think the way that math describes the world is amazing and I'm always interested in helping others see the beauty of it! After some years working in industry, I plan to teach in a high school or college.

...PhD student studying bioengineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I have a BS degree in mechanical engineering with a minor in chemistry. I have over 6 years of experience in tutoring middle school, high school and college students in the following subjects: algebra, geometry, statistics, calculus, biology, chemistry and physics. I went through both the AP and IB systems myself, so I am very familiar with AP testing and the IB diploma program.

...University, studying Psychology and Spanish. Throughout college and beyond, I tutored and mentored students in Kindergarten through 12th grade with a variety of different programs including Teach For America. I have spent time tutoring a broad range of subjects, but am most passionate about the LSAT and English. I spend my free time running and hiking outdoors, and cooking with friends. This fall, I will be a J.D. candidate at the University of Virginia School...

I'm a classical language and literature major at the University of Puget Sound, with minors in Mathematics and Gender theory. My expertise is in tutoring Ancient Greek and Latin for all levels of experience, and mathematics from elementary/middle school prealgebra to multivariate calculus, as well as writing strategies and development, and I also have a painting and drawing background and got a 5 on my AP studio art portfolio

...projectile motion and the laws of kinematics. I want show the student how to learn independently. Giving them answers to problems will not help them. Besides tutoring, I enjoy activities relating to the outdoors. Thus includes camping, hiking, kayaking, canoeing and more! I also enjoy playing the guitar. Below is my promise of value: I authentically care about the safety of others, enjoy spending quality time ensuring knowledge is communicated as efficiently and effectively as...

...to have a few questions or practice problems they are struggling with handy so that we can use that as a guideline. Once I get a sense of the type of problem or subject that is challenging, I like to give a short lecture/lesson on the topic to really solidify those principles. I then will go back to the original practice problems and ask the student to solve it given their new understanding. Once they...

Hi! My name is Orion and I just graduated from the University of Washington! I earned a BS in General Biology and am planning to attend a masters program in Physician Assistant Studies. I took many AP classes in high school and took junior and senior level classes as a freshman at UW so I could graduate a year early. Hopefully I get the chance to help you conquer some challenging classes :)

First, a tutor needs to be concerned for his students and needs to create a friendly learning environment. Then, the tutor can establish a team in order to improve the product. The product is homework, quizzes and exams. Good study habits are very important. Many times a parent can help a student with this, so the team might consist of the tutor, student and a parent.

...experience is in math and science tutoring, which I enjoy tremendously. There is nothing quite like reaching the point where a new understanding opens up a new way of looking at the world, and I find these moments in math and science. In my free time I enjoy reading or spending time outdoors and if possible, both at the same time. I also can be found cheering loudly for a variety of sports teams; my...
