Award-Winning Science Tutors in Cary, NC

...graduation, I worked as an academic and test prep tutor as well as admissions consultant in Hong Kong. For the past two years, I worked with a number of students to help prepare them for college in the United States. Even though I tutor a wide range of subjects, I enjoy teaching English and standardized test preparation the most. I love helping my students find beauty in the English language in addition to helping them...

...as difficult. Tutoring students was especially satisfying since I was able to cultivate a one-on-one rapport with the students, enabling me to cater my teaching to their needs. Some students were well prepared and knew exactly what they needed help with, while others needed me to comb through their notes and figure out what to cover during our sessions. Either way, I often succeeded in helping them improve in their grades and confidence in class....

...because I truly believe that education is absolutely imperative to a better quality of life and that everyone is fully capable of learning and making potentials to reality. As for tutoring, I put much emphasis on active participation and positive reinforcement. A learning environment should stay interactive, fun, but challenging. By encountering challenges, I believe a student's potential could rise. Besides my life in academia, I enjoy traveling, photography, and physical activities including hiking, running,...

...first Master's Degree; I taught General Chemistry Labs. I enjoyed teaching so much that after I finished my degree I started teaching Honors Chemistry at the High School level. As a teacher, I love to use hands-on methods to teach concepts to my students. I believe in fostering a supportive and caring environment for learning. Part of the learning process involves struggling with the material before mastery. I work very hard to support my students...

...in Ypsilanti, I keep teaching in my life because I love the feeling of seeing a student reach a new level. I'm a big fan of designed independent learning, and my experience has taught me that "studying harder" is not always the answer. With each student, I focus first on organization: what we need to cover and a timeline to get to their goal. I'm a physician assistant student at Duke and hope to become...

...these programs, I was introduced to new methods for helping students attain their own understanding of course materials with only minimal guidance from myself. These methods relied upon the fact that, oftentimes, students already possess the foundational knowledge to arrive at correct conclusions--they simply lack the confidence and/or the roadmaps to get there. That's where I come in. After finishing my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering last May, I moved back to the Raleigh-Durham area to...

I hold a Master of Arts in Teaching degree in Elementary Education from Meredith College and am certified in the areas of: Elementary Education K-6, ESL K-12, Middle Grades Mathematics 6-8, and Family and Consumer Sciences 6-12.

...for the first time, especially when they feel they discovered it themselves. I personally increased my ACT score by 5 points through self-study and love to coach others through the test. I consider myself a patient and helpful tutor. I am a strong writer and enjoy offering my suggestions and editing others' essays and papers. Outside of school and work, I enjoy reading, politics, anything to do with Latin America, hiking,and running half marathons.

Everyone has their own learning style that doesn't always match up with traditional methods of teaching. I want to help you find what learning methods work for you.

...as an ESL instructor in Chile and for migrant farmers in Ohio. I studied Neuroscience and History in undergrad and enjoyed my job as a lab assistant for General Chemistry. I always ask my students what their individual learning needs and goals are so I can plan lessons accordingly. I believe that every learner absorbs knowledge differently and I strive to be a dynamic and interactive tutor that uses unique tools and methods to fit...
