Award-Winning SAT Math Tutors in Kirkland, WA

...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 difficulties of balancing...

...I have lived in the Northwest for seven years. I enjoy tutoring Math of all levels up to Pre-Calculus, as well as SAT (both Math and Verbal), Language skills, and History/Government. Having taught at both a small private school and large urban public schools, I have broad experience with different learning styles, backgrounds, and abilities. I find it highly rewarding to help students and guide their progress toward mastering. If something is taught correctly, students...

...I tutor most subjects in middle and high school math, and also work with students to prepare for SAT mathematics. This year I have volunteered at a high school in North Portland as a writing tutor as well as a math and science tutor. Previous to that, I have assisted dorm residents at UP in college mathematics courses. Besides math I enjoy traveling with friends, playing basketball, listening to alternative and country music, and eating...

...math and applying mathematical methods to the real world, in particular through 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...

...Since graduation I worked for an online learning company, helping produce and edit their high school math curriculum. Additionally, I taught SAT Prep for a private tutoring company and a student success center in Brooklyn. Those experiences complemented my previous work for other companies in Math, Reading, and an academic journal. As a professional editor, I enjoy reading student writing and making concrete recommendations for improvement in grammar, logical flow, tone, and structure. I also...

...why things are. Past experience with teaching includes working at a tutoring center,and teaching sessions for grade schoolers about autonomous vehicles. I tutor for the ACT test as well as Math, physics, and computer science. The best teachers are enthusiastic. I believe that education is a key to success for both the individual and the world, and I would love to help bring that about. My interests include technology, current events, sports, and running.

...in Chemical Engineering in 2012 and will be returning to the UW to pursue a PharmD degree in 2013. I have been tutoring for six years, both informally and through organizations such as UW and Bellevue College. I like teaching and continue to tutor because I enjoy helping students improve. I believe anyone can learn math and science. I work with my students to help them understand not only how to solve problems, but also...

...field. On one hand, science is a small community and relies on personal, one-on-one apprenticeship in order to train the next generation of researchers and explorers. On the other hand, learning science (learning anything, in fact) is best done with context in mind; if you can sufficiently teach someone, especially a layperson, the subject matter that you are studying, then you know that you got it! I have been teaching for five years not only...

...into a strong desire to teach and educate persons of all ages and backgrounds. Since then, I have helped students of all ages in many subjects: German, Italian & primarily Math. I have been a tennis coach for 7 years at the Western Tennis Club in Glasgow, mostly working with younger kids. I have always had a thing for numbers and equations but my multi-cultured background has enabled me to master several languages as well.

...polymer and materials science. While at UO, I taught freshman and sophomore chemistry classes, and I still keep in touch with many of my students. I also previously earned a Bachelor's degree in biochemistry from the University of West Florida. I have lots of experience teaching and tutoring chemistry students of all levels, and I also have done some work in the past with SAT test prep. I know chemistry can be an incredibly challenging...
