Award-Winning Pre-Calculus Tutors in San Marcos, TX

...State University. I have several years of experience in higher education. In my two years at Tarleton State University I have taught various levels of college algebra. I have also taught at ITT Technical Institute for two years, covering many electronics and programming classes. I enjoy helping students to see difficult subjects like mathematics and programming in a different light, making the material a little less scary and a lot more understandable.

...level. I tutor Science (Biology, Physics), Mathematics (Algebra, Algebra I), and English. I enjoy tutoring Math and Physics the most because I see it like a puzzle that needs to be solved. I don't have a standard way of teaching; I prefer to meet with the student and adapt my manner of teaching to what works best for them. When I'm not working, I enjoy reading books, and if there is a movie adaptation I'll...

...my students to improve their organizational and study skills, which helps in all of their coursework. I like getting to know my students and for them to feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and even challenging any mistakes I may make. I was born and raised in Houston, but have lived in Baltimore, Gerihun (Sierra Leone), and now Austin. My favorite things to do during my time off are swimming, playing soccer, watching action/mystery movies,...

...any science courses because they have a large quantity of information that needs to be digested, but once you get that light bulb moment it's something you'll never forget. In my personal tutoring style I like to approach problems from many different angles, as well as walk through each one step by step to ensure solid problem solving dynamics. My extracurricular activities include plenty of laboratory work, hardcore computer gaming, caring for various exotic amphibians,...

...like to employ a back and forth of questions that triggers the student to learn intrinsically, leading to higher retention rather than merely providing the answers. My teaching philosophy also focuses on test taking strategies and reasoning that compliments the subject leading to a very well rounded individual. I didn't always have the most motivating and passionate teachers, so it took time for me to discover my passion on my own. Hopefully as a tutor...

...I double majored in Earth Science (Geology) and Marine Science and completed my B.Sc.. For my Graduate degree in Geology I studied at the University of Oklahoma. My thesis touched multiple topics such as geologic subsurface mapping, petrophysics, k-means cluster analysis, and lithological modeling. My interests include animals (I have two kitties), arts and crafts, exploring the outdoors, visiting museums, traveling to new places (especially if they have geologic outcrops, cooking, and learning new skills...

...college students, as Calculus is my favorite subject. Since I love math in general, I tutor many subjects from Algebra II to SAT/GRE Test Prep. I like to be very patient and encouraging with my students, because I believe all students can excel if they are taught how to think about each problem and develop confidence. In my free time, I enjoy reading inspirational books and learning how to dance (salsa, breakdancing).

...how beautiful Math can be. When it comes to learning, I think that the one-on-one attention a student can get from a tutor can make all the difference in building self-confidence and mastering the material. I always try to build strong relationships with my clients and create an environment where they can ask questions and get help when they need it. Only when we have trust and a safe environment can learning truly happen! In...

I recently graduated from college with a degree in biology with an emphasis in ecology and evolution. I love to spend time outdoors, play ultimate frisbee and pretend I'm a mad scientist when I do genetics problems.

...pre-medical studies. In NYC, I gained a wide variety of teaching and tutoring experiences in classrooms, with private clients, and via community service work for non-profit organizations. Currently, I work at a middle school in Chicago teaching middle school math, as well as tutor for city clients. I am most passionate about math, but am comfortable working with students of all ages K-12 (and beyond!) in subjects including chemistry, physics, Spanish, writing, and more!
