Award-Winning Statistics Tutors in St. Louis, MO

...education. In middle and high school, I was fortunate enough to have educators who taught math not as a regimen of drills and memorization, but as a process of thinking logically. They taught not exclusively through by-the-book lectures, but through anecdotes and idiosyncratic metaphors which may have amused my classmates and I, but also aided our memories and our reasoning skills. Through high school and college, even while completing two unrelated Bachelor's degree programs, I...

...not require a community service component. I believe it is important to serve other people as an organization, so I helped to reinitiate a tutoring program between our team and a local nearby elementary school. In this program, athletes from our team go to the school for an hour a week to offer help in reading or math. The teachers and athletes all responded positively to the experience and the mentoring program is continuing this...

...found it is often an integral part of truly mastering a topic. My tutoring approach takes a hands-on style that lets students work through problems with assistance first, and then on their own. This style allows the student to become confident in his/her knowledge of the material and face new problems with that same confidence. Each student is different and I do my best to quickly learn what works best for their learning style, and...

...Varsity Tutors, where great students come for the best tutoring! My name is Ken and I graduated from the University of Notre Dame with an Economics degree in May 2017. I have been tutoring for over 10 years and have worked with students in a wide range of subjects as well as preparing for the ACT. In the course of my work, I have personally witnessed the great impact that tutoring can have in terms...

...the ACT, SAT, and GMAT standardized tests. In addition, I can teach algebra, geometry, and Chinese at all levels. My favorite subject to teach is the GMAT exam because the level of required logical deduction really challenges thinking to new heights. Data sufficiency in the quantitative section provides a unique twist in solving math, and I always feel happy whenever I help someone understand an easier way to solve questions. My teaching philosophy is that...

...school as a cadet teacher for my AP Chemistry class. I only taught the whole class a few times, but I quickly realized that being on the teacher side of education gives a whole new perspective on the subject matter, and I find it very interesting. I then got my start individually tutoring students in the class, and was able to help them learn the material and succeed. I'm now a college student looking to...

...tutor. I particularly enjoy tutoring for Computer Science and Math, in these subjects I immediately see the bigger picture, with the knowledge learned from them being able to apply to other subjects across the board. My teaching style is a 'Learn with the student' approach, breaking down problems to basic parts and building them up piece by piece, really understanding what and why we are doing each step of the process. I enjoy being able...

...a perfect score of 800 on the math section of my SATs, I was invited to begin working at a private test prep company. My age and affable nature helped foster the relationship between younger, unruly students and their adult instructors. I received my Bachelor of Science in Physics from Florida Atlantic University and began tutoring college students, many of whom were returning to their education after taking time off. My most frequently tutored subjects...

...language and composition writing as well. My favorite subjects to teach are calculus (1 through 3), elementary differential equations, and physics (Newtonian, Quantum, and Electricity/Magnetism). I believe that to become familiar with a subject, one must practice it and do so often. It is also often helpful to do as much background research as necessary in order to fundamentally understand the topic. Lastly, it is important to note past mistakes and learn from them.

...Truman State University. I love writing, reading, and music! I also love working with kids. I have worked with them in the past, teaching them and playing with them through dance teaching and babysitting. With kids, I enjoy doing puzzles, drawing pictures, and helping kids make sense of word problems. I like to work with each child individually to best meet their needs and learning style. I understand the need to be creative when working...

I love teaching students about math and science. I like to connect these concepts with the physical world to help better motivate and excite students about learning. My experiences with teaching my own two daughters in addition to classroom teaching experience have given me the tools that I need to help connect students to math and science.... I like to explain concepts by taking them apart into small parts that can be easily understood. I enjoy recombining these parts to help students think critically about complicated problems.

...for seven years as an assistant and as an instructor. I have also volunteered as a literacy advocate for Ready Readers and as a tutor for Girls Inc. In my free time, I like to read books, bake, and train for races; I recently completed my first half marathon! My approach to tutoring is recognizing that everyone has a different learning style. Experimenting with different approaches to learning, whether that be visual, auditory, or tactile-...

...view, to be an effective tutor, one needs to be able to perceive the problems a student is having, and then figure out a way to work with the student to find ways around his or her difficulties. And then there was the reward of the student actually gaining knowledge and understanding of a topic. There was always a good feeling when a student comes to me for assistance, confused after a class, and leaves...

...while providing some helpful resources, such as notes and examples. Working through problems and building confidence through practice is also very important. Outside of school work I enjoy playing guitar, sailing (when I can actually find a sailboat small enough for me to handle, or just a sailboat in general), being outside, running, driving, cars, building gadgets (the light switch in my room runs on a homemade clapper), and many other things. Hopefully I'll get...

...Civil Engineering and recently moved back to the St. Louis area. With my engineering background, I can help with any level of Mathematics up to Calculus, as well as Physics, and Language Arts. While working on my engineering degree, I also taught at an alternative private school, instructing both middle and high school students in a broad range of subjects. My academic and professional background has provided me the skills with which I can help...

...more students in St. Louis and around the country online. My personal goal is for my students to say that math is much easier than they ever thought. To reach this point, I study how each student learns, what makes sense and where they get lost. We move forward by building on their strengths and filling in any missing concepts along the way. Seeing my students understanding the material, becoming more confidence and improving their...

A few friends of mine were tutors in college and told me about the wonderful experiences they enjoyed as a result of teaching. I was a high school hero and 6th grade camp counselor so I have background in helping younger people grow. In my free time, I am usually playing video games or studying for my actuarial exams. I do enjoy being active and going outside on nice days.

...24 years old. My original intent with these degrees was to go into actuarial practices within insurance companies; however, I have come to find that tutoring and teaching is my passion and much more exciting. I started tutoring during my sophomore year of college in the mathematics learning center where I helped college students to succeed in subjects like College Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Calculus (Levels I, II, and III), and Probability and Statistics. I have also...
