Award-Winning SAT Math Tutors in Maryland

...the students I tutor. My focus is on creating a solid foundation for students to expand their own learning. I strive to make the subject they are dealing with engaging and accessible so that they can increase their performance and become successful, self-reliable students. I am originally from Puerto Rico, I went to college St. Louis, and studied in China for a year. I enjoy water sports, especially scuba diving and paddle boarding, and reading.

...as a mentor and a site director for the Summer Engineering Experience for Kids(SEEK) program. I was also a Frostburg State University tutor for two and a half years; tutoring students in a variety of math and physics courses. While I continue to tutor this wide array of courses, I most enjoy tutoring algebra, calculus I and physics I. I am a proponent of giving students a deeper understanding by relating unfamiliar topics with mastered...

...your chances, by showing you the same powerful, reliable training methods I used myself. If you want to simply increase your score, I can help as well. Unlike all the SAT/ACT training books, I don't just rely on memorizing tricks, but also understanding why strategies work, based on the math. I tutor because I love math, and it would be my pleasure to work with you! I am also a competitive chess player, and some...

...Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, preparing to specialize in pediatrics. Throughout college and medical school, I tutored and taught both younger students and peers. I also have experience with curriculum development at the high school and graduate school levels, including a published, peer-reviewed medical school curriculum. While I tutor a broad range of subjects in the mathematics and sciences, I am most passionate about Calculus and Chemistry. I especially enjoy working with students on...

...to succeed in school but to become a lover of knowledge. This philosophy has guided me since I started tutoring freshman year in college. My strengths lie in reading, writing, and all things humanities. I have a genuine love for tutoring and the subjects I teach, and I aim to create an open, informative, and effective atmosphere with my students, one that can shape them into philosophers or true lovers of knowledge.

...see a student's scores improve as we work on practice tests and the different skills that they need. In my free time I love to travel. In Oct. of 2014 I left the country for the first time to travel to Zambia, Africa to visit a friend living there. It was an incredible trip. We sat in the devil's pool at Victoria Falls (I recommend looking up a photo). We also went on a safari...

...my love of science into a successful research career (just completed my PhD at Johns Hopkins!) that has taken me into the worlds of Chemistry, Medicine, Biology, and Physics. However, my day is never complete until I can share my knowledge with fellow students and scientists. In my experience, the best way to teach math and science is to show students real world examples they can appreciate at any age. By the end of our...

...real-world situations. In my spare time, I am an avid reader - books about historical events and education are some of my favorites, but I also enjoy popular fiction. I love attending Nats games, although I'm an Atlanta Braves fan at heart, and like to follow various college and pro sports teams, including the Oregon Ducks, Philadelphia Eagles, and Portland Trailblazers. When I can, I try to get outside and stay active as much as...

...at the University of Maryland, where I teach a variety of college level courses, including composition and literature courses. I am very invested in working one-on-one with students on critical writing and critical reading skills. Both sets of skills involve analytical thinking, but they also involve creative thinking. It is the interplay between the analytical and the creative that I find most enjoyable about tutoring and teaching. In my free time, I enjoy playing guitar,...

...nothing feels more rewarding then being proud of the hard work that went into figuring out a problem. I have traveled my whole life and my goal is to visit and learn from different cultures and traditions on all 7 continents. I have visited five continents so far and can't wait for my next adventure. I am a massive sports fan. I like football, baseball, basketball, and soccer. A lot of that comes from my...
