Award-Winning SAT Math Tutors for Students in Catalina Foothills, AZ

Hello, I graduated from Columbia University in New York City with a degree in Physics this past May. While currently residing in my hometown of Tucson, AZ, I hope to tutor younger students in any subject they wish to improve. If a student could take only one thing away from our session, I would want it to be self-confidence.

I'm an ASU engineering student and I love teaching physics. I've worked as a Teaching Assistant in the Engineering department teaching Statics and I want to make Physics more approachable for other students. I can explain a Physics concept or problem in a dozen ways until it makes sense to you.

...Pre-Law emphasis. I have been a tutor for my entire high school life and love working with students in many different age ranges. I also love engaging with academic material in a different perspective and love to be of help to students struggling to understand what they learn in class. I have mostly tutored in physics, math, and have plenty of experience in critiquing and peer-editung essays through my AP Seminar and AP Research courses....

...success and life success, and educated children and young adults are the cornerstone of our future. That is why I enjoy tutoring math specifically--it is so grounded in logic and problem-solving that students who learn how to excel at math will be able to handle most any situation life throws at them. I also have a passion for stories and the written word, so English is another favorite subject of mine. I generally approach tutoring...

...at a small private school assisting with after school programming. I have worked with children for many years as a counselor, swim instructor, and after school teacher and over this time I have cultivated the skills to communicate effectively with students of all ages. I am very adept at finding creative ways to communicate difficult concepts through the use of digestible metaphors and examples. Additionally, I am able to maintain a laid-back and positive atmosphere...

I recently completed grad school with a degree in geology. I have a broad background in the physical science and math. I look forward to helping you out with standardized tests, math through calculus, chemistry, and physics.... Anyone can master any subject with enough time and the right teacher.... I ask the student what they think they are having issues with and work through some general practice problems to try and determine exactly what subjects need...

...Art, focusing on design and sculpture. During college I worked as a teaching assistant and after graduating, I worked as an educator for an environmental non-profit teaching middle and high school students hands on, experiential marine science lessons. I went to high school here in Tucson at Catalina Foothills and I studied abroad in Vancouver Island, Canada for two years, completing the I.B. diploma. My philosophy of education is focused on sharing my own passion...

...in Iraq. I've seen and done a lot of things, and I'm not even 40 yet! But through everything I've done, I've always been a problem solver. This is what led me back to engineering after so walking so many other paths. I want to pass on my love problem solving in math and science. I'd also like to encourage more young people to gain general problem solving and logical thinking skills. With more young...

...medical degree from Loyola University Chicago. Tutors helped me overcome difficult subjects, and I'd like to pay that forward. I like to meet my students where they are at, to help them engage with material through vibrant discussion as they set their goals and their pace; we can troubleshoot together to discover what learning methods work best (teach-back, kinetic, visual, mnemonics and songs, etc). I enjoy teaching math topics up through and including calculus, as...

...struggled with my studies in topics like math, English, and reading. I was not confident in my ability to do my school work and it really affected my confidence. As I grew older I started to develop a keen passion for learning and my grades started to improve. I began seeing tutors and accessing different academic aid tools to help improve my grades and most importantly my confidence. Now, as a full-time Engineering student, I...

...years of tutoring experience, complemented by more than ten years of classroom teaching. I specialize in GED,SAT,ACT prep and have taught students from grades six through twelve, both in the U.S. and internationally, including in China and Venezuela. My teaching philosophy emphasizes two-way communication; I actively engage with students, encouraging them to articulate their understanding and strategies. This interactive approach not only clarifies concepts like functions but also fosters a supportive learning environment. I am...

...interested in helping students do the best they can! That being said, I have also taken and passed 13 AP exams in subjects ranging from AP Calculus BC and AP US History to AP Spanish and AP Chemistry. I am well-versed in taking exams and preparing for them, and I enjoy helping students improve their knowledge and their test scores! Learning takes patience and time, and I can provide you with the resources and aid...

...a small college-prep school. I started my college career studying Computer Engineering at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, but ended up finishing my bachelor's degree in Philosophy at the University of Arizona in Tucson, where I live now. For a few years, lived in Boulder, Colorado, where I did an MA in Philosophy at the University of Colorado. What I loved most about graduate school was being a Teaching Assistant for Introductory Philosophy courses. I...

I have experience tutoring middle school students in various subjects after school. I also have experience tutoring a group of high school students in math, specifically Pre-Calculus and Calculus, and helping other students with various math subjects ranging from Algebra to Advanced Algebra. While...

...Writing. My favorite subjects to tutor are geometry and writing, as well as the SAT. I like to tutor geometry because I understand that while it comes naturally to me but algebra took a while for me to fully grasp, many people are the exact opposite. I greatly enjoy helping people along the road to that understanding in geometry. My love for writing comes from a similar place, though from the opposite side. I was...

As an experienced writer and editor, I can help with essays, personal...

...level. I love helping students with a broad range of writing and reading assignments, from test prep to essay writing. Through our sessions, my students have earned As on difficult essays, raised their overall class grades, improved their SAT scores, gained admission to top universities, and built their confidence as writers, readers, and thinkers. At the root of my passion for tutoring is the "growth mindset" outlook: the idea that academic ability is not set...

...in Environmental Science and Spanish. For a year after graduation I worked in a biochemical research lab where I studied various protein pathways in cancer cells. I then left to begin my Peace Corps service as a high school Math teacher in Mozambique where I learned Portuguese, in which I taught. I also taught English to a group of adults and a group of adolescents. In addition I have been a math tutor for adults...

...that's why I'm here to help. I just graduated in May of this year with a B.S.E. in Mechanical Engineering from Arizona State University. I was originally an aerospace engineer before I changed my major to mechanical engineering due to its increased versatility. I moved to Tucson to work as a systems engineering for Raytheon in June 2015. Engineering and tutoring are both equally part of my career to better the world. I interned at...

I am currently a third year physics student at the University of Arizona. I have prior tutoring experience, and can cover many topics in math and physics. Outside of school I like rock climbing, hiking, camping, and snowboarding.
