Award-Winning Pre-Calculus Tutors serving Washington DC

...math; even though I know a lot of students find it difficult, I like showing them ways it can be enjoyable if not fun! I know it's tough and I'll never make you feel bad for not knowing the answer--but I'll make you feel good when you finally get it! I can explain things in a million different ways until I find the right method for the individual student. Plus, I'm super-funny and awesome.

I am currently retired from a career as a software engineer. In retirement I hope to challenge myself to renew many of the subject skills that I knew while getting my Mathematics Degree. I remember that while getting degrees the best way to learn any subject was to teach it to someone else. If you can increase some else's understanding of a subject you definitely understand it yourself.

...the great WKCR radio station. After graduation, I worked in the Archives Center of the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington, DC.

...of Java (a programming language). While I am open to tutoring a wide range of subjects, I am most passionate about computer science, math, and economics. Through tutoring, and being tutored myself, I have learned that enthusiasm, patience, time management, and relatability are some of the most important qualities of a successful tutoring session. I hope to incorporate these qualities to make every tutoring session a comfortable environment to learn, ask questions, and make mistakes.

I love to show students how to decode the language of mathematics that will lead to critical thinking skills that will translate to other subjects.

I then continued my education getting my Masters of Public Health with a concentration in Nutrition Education. I have always...

...a beautiful puzzle with many pieces that always fit together despite the challenge, and despite the fact that different learners see the pieces differently. My role as a tutor (and indeed a puzzle master), is simply helping to channel learners' abilities towards the best and most sophisticated methods of learning and applying important mathematical concepts and techniques. With a PhD in Political Science and Int'l Political Ecolomy, backgrounds in engineering, accounting, math and quantitative analysis,...

...at American University, where my PhD is in progress. I also have experience as a math tutor in high school and have facilitated numerous training workshops in my professional work history. I'm able to work with individuals and small groups. My areas of expertise are mathematics and economics, especially algebra, calculus, microeconomic theory and macroeconomic theory. These subjects are all related and I find it really interesting that they can help with understanding human behavior...

...my B.A in Biology and continuing on to dental school. I'm currently a medical interpreter, but I have tutored for quite a lot in the past years. From private home lessons to teaching a classroom of 7-10 elementary kids, I have always enjoyed being able to use my knowledge to help others succeed. My strongest subjects are Math and Biology, but nothing fascinates me more than the studies of natural lives around us and the...

...out of reach of a passionate and curious mind. I therefore strive not just to communicate content, but to instill a passion that will drive self motivated learning. Whether discussing The Great Gatsby or reviewing the Navier Stokes Equations for fluid dynamics, I am excited to share my enthusiasm for learning with a younger generation. I am currently working as a full-time engineer for NASA, but in my free time I enjoy mountain biking, spending...

...shaped my academic experience greatly, and I feel that I am equipped to help (and relate to) students in the same position as I was in. I believe that everyone can find a way of learning best for them, and I hope to find that with each student. I like to incorporate a student's current interests and understandings to concepts they may not understand or relate to to help make tutoring more fun! I'm also...

...Engineering. During my time studying, I have worked at East Los Angeles College for 4 years teaching a wide range of Mathematics to the students there. I would work with students in private sessions and, on occasion, lead a study group for students enrolled in the same class. I believe the private sessions were more effective because they focused on each student's individual issue, and all students have their own way of learning. I enjoy...

...that what most students lack is someone to believe in them; someone to build their confidence and help them take learning into their own hands. Therefore, I assess each student’s needs and learning techniques, so as to tailor my teaching style to help them gain the most out of the tutoring experience. I tutor French, Economics, Math, Statistics, IB Economics and IB Math SL. My favorite subjects to tutor are French and Economics. As a...

Since then, I have tutored other subjects as well including biology, physiology, and chemistry to name a few. Having won several science awards, I know lots of fun facts to share with my tutees. During my tutoring sessions, I make subjects applicable by giving...

...and since then Ive continued by tutoring at Princetons McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning. My experiences at McGraw helped me refine the characteristics and skills it takes to be a good tutor: patience, empathy, preparedness, and enthusiasm. I have experience tutoring students from grades K-college. In my opinion, a tutors goal should be to help students develop and cultivate the learning methods that work best for them while keeping them as engaged as possible....

...the type of student I encounter, I always make sure that the student is comfortable enough to ask me as many questions as they like. My teaching philosophy is that tutoring is a two way street. If the communication is not effective between the tutor and student, then tutoring will not take place. I like to think of my tutoring style as more visual. As an aspiring physician, I hope to use my gap years...

...taught civic education to 5th graders across the Greater Boston area every week. This experience especially taught me the importance of interactive lessons. I found the most success when I implemented exercises that connected ideas to the real world, like writing a letter to a congressperson. Additionally, I spent three years as an associate editor for the Harvard Crimson newspaper, a position that granted me experience both writing and editing articles as well as mentoring...
