Award-Winning SAT Math Tutors for Students in Kirkland, WA

Hi! My name is Orion and I just graduated from the University of Washington! I earned a BS in General Biology and am planning to attend a masters program in Physician Assistant Studies. I took many AP classes in high school and took junior and senior level classes as a freshman at UW so I could graduate a year early. Hopefully I get the chance to help you conquer some challenging classes :)

...tutor algebra and calculus, which seem to be high in demand. My favorite subjects to teach are calculus and physics. With calculus, there's very little memorization when you understand the fundamentals of limits. Also, there are several ways to approach the material: graphically for those more visual, theoretical for those that like equations, and plug-and-chug for those that prefer processes. Physics is great because same relationships that occur in your everyday experience also occur in...

...is not only a better grasp of a subject but also a stronger sense of self-empowerment anytime they tackle something new. I grew up in Lake Tahoe, CA, where my winters were spent in skis and my summers were spent in swimsuits. I also enjoy hiking, soccer, and just about anything else that involves being outside. I'm a recent transplant from California, so on a rainy day, you'll probably find me inside with a cup...

...with both students and professors--but just as important as that, I understand just as well what it's like to need that sort of tutoring as well.

...helping people understand, and for I long time I considered becoming a teacher, though I eventually decided to spend my time learning the applied side of mathematics. I still, however, relish any opportunity to work with people, whether as a counselor, instructor, or colleague. I know I can be of value to anybody who wants to understand mathematics on a deeper level and I look forward to helping students achieve their goals.... Rather than spend hours...

...of Oregon, where the focus of my study was on 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...

I have enjoyed all of my experiences with teaching and tutoring because I like being able to help students with their academic challenges, as I believe that...

...school student, I was enrolled in my local community college where I tutored students in algebra, trigonometry, and calculus. In college, I continued to tutor students in these subjects. In graduate school, I served as a lab TA in which I taught students about electrical engineering and helped the students with their homework, labs, and projects. Currently, I am an electrical engineer designing the next generation of power management integrated circuits. I chose the field...

...at University Of Washington, Seattle. Since I only graduated from high school a couple years ago, I am very familiar with the high school and middle school topics being taught. I am able to relate and truly understand the stress that students might be going through with college application processes, SATs and middle / high school assignments. I am eager to motivate and help you all to be successful and confident students in your classes!

...sure all students feel capable of learning and succeeding. I recently graduated magna cum laude from Yale University with a B.S. in Economics and Psychology, and I am currently working towards a MSEd at Johns Hopkins University. I've been tutoring for nearly 10 years, in subjects ranging from ESL to econometrics, and I love any opportunity to help my students address their individual learning needs. In my spare time, you'll probably find me enjoying an...

...bard for a second grade teacher. He got me hooked on the Odyssey, which ended up defining my academic life. Writing, myth, journalism, linguistics, history: it's all a part of this huge story, a story with lots of parts we're all working on. I'm a nerd about how it works, and I've studied it from a lot of angles. As a tutor, I'm all about helping people find their voice and that part in the...

...I'm excited to share my tips, tricks and techniques with the next wave of students, crashing and breaking against the ivory tower of academia.

...am well versed in biology, chemistry, and basic math. My philosophy starts with building a strong foundation and then applying one's foundational knowledge to solve difficult problems and comprehend complex concepts. I love to see students succeed after struggling with even the most difficult problems and concepts. Often times It can take a person long hours to approach these problems. With the assistance of a peer, however, solving the problem is much more efficient and...

...stages, which is often when a student begins to think critically about language for the first time. When I'm not working or reading, I try to travel as much as I can. I grew up partly in Costa Rica, studied in Spain, and worked in France. More recently, I have spent time in Mexico, Portugal, and Panama. Closer to home, I like hiking, spending time with friends, family, and pets, as well as learning to...

...students are aiming for scores that will help them get into highly selective universities. Some of my students also have ADHD, autism, or communication disorders. All of my students expect to work very hard in order to achieve their goals. In my free time, I like to watch foreign and independent films, sample new restaurants, and discuss politics with my friends. I love Seattle and expect to stay here for a long time!

...my enthusiasm for learning reflected in others. I am excited by seeing students "get it." I have tutored elementary instrumental music, taught environmental science lessons, and mentored undergraduate research assistants.

...informatics olympiads, and a robotics team. As a student who has also gone through standardized exams (SAT, AP), I learned testing strategies the hard way and understand how stressful these tests can be. In the various academic settings that I have been exposed to, I found collaboration to be crucial, and teaching others can often strengthen my understanding of topics as well! I hope to bring the positive impacts I've had on my peers to...
