Award-Winning Pre-Calculus Tutors serving Redmond, WA

In high school, I tackled various AP classes, from calculus to German. In college, I successfully completed two bachelor of science degrees in chemical engineering and applied mathematics. Although my educational background has shaped the subjects I teach, my tutoring experience with multiple college organizations has shaped my teaching methods.

I am passionate about tutoring and about making students love learning. I can help with test prep, study skills, organizational skills, or a variety of subjects including up to college level physics, chemistry, and biology. I am currently finishing my Master of Athletic Training, and am extremely knowledgeable in the fields of Exercise Science, Anatomy, and Healthcare. In my free time, I love to hike and bike as well as attend sporting events.... When students are...

I endeavor to find the best balance of meaningful and profitable activities that promote personal health, positive future, and consistent well being. I wish to always obtain new skills, sharpen the ones I have, and aim my life towards those endeavors that allow me to help others and myself in important, meaningful ways.

...love learning and creating meaningful learning experiences for other students. Tutoring STEM topics in particular is a very rewarding and enriching endeavor. I generally take a socratic approach in my tutoring style that focuses on critical thinking, and guides students to discover answers and make breakthroughs for themselves. Outside of academia, I enjoy cooking, hanging out with my dog, playing ice hockey, reading, and deploying my engineering skills to design and build interesting projects.

...my local community college where I tutored students in algebra, trigonometry, and calculus. In college, I continued to tutor 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...

...tackle challenges independently. By promoting a supportive yet challenging environment, I encourage my students to take ownership of their learning, build resilience, and approach problem-solving with curiosity and determination. In addition to my technical expertise in math and robotics, I am passionate about creating a classroom culture where mistakes are viewed as opportunities for growth and learning is seen as an ongoing process. It is incredibly rewarding to witness my students' progressnot just in mastering...

..."clicks." I also enjoy helping younger students build foundational reading and vocabulary skills, especially those navigating English as a second language. My teaching style is flexible and student-centered. I prioritize active participation, use real-world examples to connect material to students' lives, and celebrate small wins to build momentum. I believe every student can succeed when they feel heard and supported, and I aim to be a tutor who listens first and teaches second.

I have a B.S. in Physics from UCSB with multiple years of tutoring for college math and physics as well as high school math and physics. I have been involved with Physics outreach programs for local high schools during my undergraduate degree. In my spare time, I play music, hike, wrestle, and dance.

...Bill Nye show. I majored in Neuroscience and Behavior in college, so I learned a lot about Biology and Psychology, and I plan on getting a Master's in Bioengineering. I spent two years serving with the Peace Corps in Peru, where I learned to speak Spanish, build stoves out of adobe, and a lot about life in rural communities. In my spare time I enjoy playing harp and guitar, learning new languages, and being outdoors.

...in Mathematics. I am taking a gap year before attending graduate school at Rutgers University for Astrophysics, and in the meantime, I am tutoring 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...

...for 2 years, and Pre-calculus for 2 years. During my years of teaching, using real world examples played a tremendous role when teaching new theories to the students. Furthermore, I believe in repetition when it comes to test preparations so that students can become comfortable with not only the format but also with generating answers within a short time frame. I enjoy traveling, exercising (weight lifting), reading biographies, and playing Starcraft (once in a Bluemoon).

I am currently a senior at the University of Washington majoring in Bioengineering with a minor in Chemistry. I plan to apply to medical school this year and during my gap year work in a research lab and tutor. I have been tutoring for over 5 years in math, chemistry, and biology.

...my appreciation for teaching at a young age. And much as quality instructors have made a positive impact on my life, it has equally taught me the responsibility educators can have on an individuals educational achievements. My experience through different educational institutions such as the University of Washington and smaller programs such as Karen Dillard has diversified my understanding of transparent learning. I believe to be a great fit for Varsity as I am committed,...

...I tutored for a couple years at the community college I attended before transferring to UW. I have tutored 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...

...math and the sciences to test prep such as the ACT and the SAT. My favorite subject to teach is Chemistry because of my overall background in the field. I enjoy working with students of all ages from grade school to college. It makes me really happy when a student is finally able to comprehend a subject they found difficult before. I am very patient with my students and I will do everything in my...

...My favorite subjects are mathematics and computer science, but I'm not into those lame equations you have to memorize. I love the applied stuff, where you get to use the equations you learn in projects you enjoy (the memorization comes naturally that way). That's why I believe programming and mathematics go hand in hand. You learn some math, and then make a program applying the principles, e.g. using partial differential equations to simulate traffic patterns.

...level. I make sure the student is sure of all concepts before going forward, as I believe having a solid grasp of fundamentals and prior concepts is essential in understanding new ideas in Maths. I've achieved a BS in Mathematics from the University of Alaska, Anchorage. In my opinion, mathematics is a series of puzzles where you simply need to find and use the correct tools to connect the dots and solve them.

...College. I was also accepted to Tufts University and the University of Southern California, where I was awarded a merit scholarship, and waitlisted at Harvard University. I have tutored underrepresented elementary school students to improve their reading comprehension and edited college applications for high school students. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, and Reading. As a first-generation low-income student, I understand the importance of education as...

...included. During teaching or tutoring sessions, I look forward to the opportunity to advise and mentor students from all backgrounds, and to seek out ways to encourage those who are underrepresented in mathematics to pursue the subject. While I have learned much about teaching mathematics thus far, and believe myself able to practice it effectively, I am under no illusions as to having perfected it. Indeed, I feel that perhaps the most important aspect of...

...for each group that I got to talk to. I got to make learning fun and exciting. I loved the look on a kid’s face when they learned something new. Later throughout my undergrad I got several other opportunities in education as an interpreter at the Burke Museum and as a TAA for the ESS Department at the University of Washington. I had lots of fun working with the Burke Museum, and as a TAA...
