Award-Winning SAT Tutors in Tacoma, WA

...a major that requires a great deal of critical reading, writing, and most of all, thinking. I use what I learned from my study of philosophy to tailor my tutoring strategies to the individual student, making sure they have a clear understanding of why I'm structuring their lessons in a particular way, rather than having them just blindly running through practice exercises. My first formal introduction into tutoring others was in high school, when my...

...helped me learn ways to become much more effective as a tutor.

...several undergraduate chemistry courses, including: general chemistry, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and high school chemistry. I absolutely love teaching students. I most enjoyed when students understood the concepts and could apply them to new problems.

By learning the concepts, you can apply the concepts to problems to more challenging problems. I hope to get the...

And even if you are, I'm sure you wouldn't want to downgrade your...

I embrace a student centered approach to student learning. This means that I let the student lead the discussion of a particular problem. I have been teaching for 6 years at the high school level, having come off a BS in Math with a minor in Physics from UC Merced(go bobcats).

Over the last 20 years, I have seen all types of classes, teachers, exams, and homework. I've been the student, the tutor, the teacher, and the professor. Whatever it is that you need to get ready for, I will take the time to make sure you can get to where you want to be!

I have tutored in both individualized and group settings for various purposes, including SAT test prep, supplemental learning, and as a primary teaching resource.

I have constructed lesson plans for both a single person and an entire 30 student classroom.
