...attended University of Washington Tacoma and graduated with Bachelor of Science degrees in both Mathematics and Computer Science. I tutor both subjects. Everyone has a different learning style; my goal as a tutor is to find out what my student's learning style is and adapt my teaching accordingly. I'm passionate about helping students because I was a student myself in the same situation. Being willing to accept help for a subject is half the battle....

...a sophomore in high school. However, my personal favorite subjects to teach and where I am strongest as a tutor are English and History/Government at any level up to and including college, as those are the areas I've had the most consistent practice and critical engagement in through my studies during high school and beyond. I love tutoring because I understand firsthand what it is like to struggle with something and to feel inferior to...

...skills. I believe that teaching is the most rewarding occupation as it gives the teacher the ability to not only transmit his own knowledge to the student but also see the positive results and outcome of the student. I believe mathematics has suffered as an attractive discipline by failing to be inclusive of mathematicians and students of all races, ethnicities, genders, personalities, and socioeconomic and educational backgrounds. In my capacity as a tutor, I hope...

...Science; I'd be happy to help you/your child better understand the concepts behind their problems and achieve better results. My tutoring style differs depending on the subject I'm tutoring. For Mathematics based subjects, I tend to take a graphical approach; focusing on addressing weak-points in understanding by presenting the material in a different, more intuitive and visual way. For Political Science, I focus on building contextual and theoretical understanding of the underlying theories and critiques....

...the study of physics. One of my greatest strengths in this regard is my ability to approach a problem from multiple angles. If the first approach I suggest for a problem isn't clear to a student, I can usually come up with an alternate, sometimes more intuitive way of addressing the same problem. Recreationally, I spend a significant fraction of my time developing my problem-solving skills with the Mathematica programming language. I also enjoy building...

...Last year I taught 6th grade honors English and 8th grade English for a school in my local district. During my student teaching (which occurred during the height of the pandemic) I taught entirely virtually and learned how to form meaningful relationships with students even through a computer screen. In addition, I found ways to utilize technology effectively in order to keep engagement levels high. I have also worked with adult learners through my volunteer...

I have been a volunteer tutor and teaching assistant for elementary math and reading, as well as elementary, middle, and high school science. I have taken and excelled in AP courses, college courses, and graduate level chemistry courses and hope to prepare students for similar success by explaining and reviewing material, introducing study and testing...

...what I like to call the "Nerd Trifecta" in high school: math team, knowledge bowl, and science olympiad. I've tutored since I was in middle school, and I love finding an explanation or analogy to help someone else really grasp a concept! I'm applying to grad school now, and in my spare time I love cooking and baking (it's vaguely scientific, right?). I rowed in high school and college, so I know all about the...

...make choices that are based on moral codes that favor not only themselves, but also those who depend on their guidance. It is imperative that the mind of a leader is both selfless and ambitious. Without the proper outlook, disorder will spawn, and failure will be the aftermath. The ability to teach those who are seeking knowledge is both a privilege and a necessity. It is my duty to guide those who seek my assistance...
