Award-Winning Pre-Calculus Tutors serving Tempe, AZ

...Biology at ASU, and I described 10 species of weevil (snout beetle) that were completely new to science. As part of my degree program, I have taught several different science classes. One of my favorite parts of being a doctoral student has been teaching and working one-on-one with students. To me, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing something 'click' for a student. My interdisciplinary training in biology and materials science has taught me how...

...I also had a healthy, eclectic interest in a wide range of subject areas including Multivariable Calculus, Physics, and Film. It is also worth noting that I was able to accomplish all of this in three years, rather than four, due to my focus and success on AP tests. As for my specific tutoring experience, I have been teaching students since high school, and volunteering with local children of lower socioeconomic status for the past...

...and GRE. I have nine years of tutoring experience, tutoring students from elementary age to graduate level, as well as working with students with special needs. I particularly enjoy tutoring mathematics, biology, and helping students prepare for standardized tests. I can also tutor in writing and reading, since I have experience as a professional copy editor. My focus when tutoring is student understanding. I believe academic goals are more readily achievable when concepts are understood,...

...the student find a way to understand the material, even if it means deviating form normal techniques. I have tutored both kids and peers in the past. I have found that for kids, especially in mathematics, relating to something they enjoy makes the experience more enjoyable. Regarding peers/college level students, I can relate to them very well, because I have been through exactly what they're going through and I believe the number one trait is...

...for a year and a half as a tutor/instructor and I learned to love seeing other people succeed. I like helping my students figure out their own learning styles and then helping them maximize on their strengths. I tutor a wide range of subjects but the sciences are my personal specialty. I am fascinated with the building blocks of matter and love learning and teaching about them. If you need help with biology, chemistry, physics,...

...perfect choice. After college I worked in the aerospace industry for 10 years as a systems engineer on several satellite programs. Although I enjoyed my job, I wanted to spend more time with my family. It was then that I discovered I absolutely love working with students. I became a part-time math teacher in a small private school, teaching everything from Algebra II to Calculus III. I love showing students different ways to approach a...

...from Arizona State University as a Health Sciences major. While at ASU I had the opportunity to work at the Downtown Student Success Center for two years as a supplemental instructor. Most of my students were pre-med or studying to become nurses. My favorite subject to teach was Anatomy/Physiology, but I also enjoyed most math and sciences courses especially General and Organic Chemistry. In my spare time, I enjoy competing in all types of sports,...

...in the laboratory, classroom and tutorial settings. I believe learning should be fun and that everyone can learn, we just need to work together to find out what works for you. Learning is not just observation, it is also participation. By engaging students in interactive discussions, I encourage curiosity and intellectual exploration. I help students learn how to think not what to think. By learning to think critically, students are able to maximize their potential...

...experience. This has allowed me to help translate to students how they can use the information they are learning at school in the real world. I have worked with students of all ages and truly love helping students master the basics of their subjects so that they can succeed in their classes. I am most passionate about tutoring math and helping students understand how to break down problems. I work to evaluate their current comprehension...

...Chemistry 1 and 2, Organic Chemistry 1 and 2, Physics 1 and 2, as well as Calculus 1 and 2. I also enjoy tutoring elementary, junior high school, and high school level students in ALL subject matter. I have a deep understanding of these core subjects and promote learning from the fundamentals. My goal as a tutor is to not only teach difficult subject matter, but also to promote students to think critically and problem...

...working with children and teenagers, both typically developing and with autism spectrum disorder. The subjects I tutor are varied, but I focus on statistics and mathematics through pre-calculus along with test preparation and essay writing. I am also available to tutor psychology and German (beginner- and intermediate-level). Although I enjoy helping students improve in all subjects, I find that tutoring for standardized tests offers particularly rewarding experiences given the potential impact on students' future academic...

...That concept is what drives me when I tutor. Formulas and equations have their use and value, but the critical thinking that can be gained from the study of math is much more important. I have had success in showing students from where the formulas come and encouraging a deeper understanding of the topic at hand. I believe education in STEM related fields is vital in our society with the steep advancements in technology, and...

I look forward to simplifying learning and making it fun! I am a high school math teacher. I am teaching Geometry and Personal Finance this year, but I have also taught Algebra I, Algebra II, and College Algebra. I also co-teach the SAT and ACT prep courses for my school. On my time off, I enjoy spending time with my family, working out, and reading. ... I believe in students being able to master anything they...

...able to adapt to a variety of situations. I apply that skill to my tutoring: every student is different, and I adapt my teaching methods to those differences. The most important thing I do is make sure each student understands what they're trying to learn, not just tricks to get through their homework. If there's some basic skills missing, I make sure to go back and polish those up before getting back to the main...

...I have experience tutoring students from K-College level in Math, Reading, & Writing. I am particularly interested in helping K-12 students discover their own potential in Math and Reading, and succeed on standardized tests. I also have unique experience in the professional world working as a Business Planning Manager for a Fortune 200 company in their sales department and am strongly qualified to tutor excel, public speaking, and organization/study skills. In my spare time, I...

Because of my experience with many different disciplines, I am able to teach a wide variety of subjects and have experience working with students of all ages from middle school to middle aged. My greatest skill as a tutor is the ability to adapt challenging material to the viewpoint of my students. This allows me to build bridges of understanding that help...

...on the computer to study. My computer is also the main focus of my entertainment, education, and communication, so I am usually available frequently when I float around the PC. The best way to set up a session with me is to email me with an exact time and date of appointment, along with the topics being covered in class that we will review during our session. I highly recommend sending me these topics so...

...can relate to, it's more understood and that familiar example is better remembered in a testing situation. I have experience teaching a Biology Lab for non-science major college students from freshman to seniors. It was the experience that ultimately showed me what I was capable of sharing information and how much fun it was. Education to me is something that should be enjoyed. If one is not enjoying what they are doing, what's the point?!...

...I developed a keener sense for the hurdles that students sometimes face when learning, as well as the most efficient ways to overcome them. I also developed more patience and empathy through tutoring - I often remembered feeling the same confusion about a topic that my students were feeling the first time I had learned the material. The skills and perspective I developed through this tutoring experience have certainly made me a better educator.
