Mustafa

Algebra Tutor • +44 Subjects

I am a graduate of Georgia Institute of Technology. I received my Bachelor of Sciences in Biomedical Engineering with a minor in Mathematics. I began tutoring in my freshman year of college, and continued to do so throughout my college years. I primarily worked as a private tutor, helping middle school and high school aged students in a wide variety of math and science courses. I also volunteered on a weekly basis at a local community center to provide homework and study help to students. I have also helped students study and prepare for the PSAT and SAT math sections. It is my belief that, in addition to the raw information presented, math and science courses teach crucial analytical skills that can be utilized by anyone in whichever path of life they choose to pursue. For this reason, I try to impart my passion for maths and sciences upon all the students I work with. In my spare time, I also enjoy writing, working out, playing sports, and studying history.

Kristen

Arithmetic Tutor • +18 Subjects

I am a science teacher from Georgia and I say that learning can be fun! I began teaching high school but have taught middle school as well, covering everything from biology (my personal favorite) to oceanography. I am certified in Georgia as well as California, and I believe that each child is a different type of learner - the most important part of that statement being that every child IS a learner. It might not always be easy, but it can definitely be done.Differentiation is key, and that's why I employ various teaching methods to appeal to learners of all varieties. After all, variety is the spice of life. I especially enjoy creating games, quests, activities, and visual aids that “trick” children into learning. I also place special emphasis on critical thinking skills, which can be applied in the classroom and life; as the saying goes, you can give a child the solution to one problem, but if you teach a child to think things through logically, then he or she can solve problems forever! Well, I think the original saying had to do with a man and a fish, but I think that you catch my drift.My favorite thing about teaching is getting children to realize their amazing potential. Considering that the first years of my teaching career were spent with amazing students from low socio-economic and sometimes violent/traumatic backgrounds, I quickly found out that many students, no matter their circumstances, are not aware of the heights of academic success that they can achieve. Furthermore, many of them do not even believe that they are capable of such successes. The best feelings I have ever experienced in education were when my students came to me and told me, “Ms. Hurt! Look what I did!” indicating some test they’d passed or some other outstanding accomplishment. I began to live for those moments, and also for the moments when I could see in a student’s face that the proverbial light bulb had just come on. I want to continue to spread that belief and confidence in students.In closing, I love to learn and I love to help others learn, no matter the age group. I am here to help, and I look forward to meeting you and your child!

Monica

Algebra Tutor • +19 Subjects

I am UCLA undergraduate student studying Mathematics with a focus on Finance. As you might have guessed, I tutor mathematics, ranging from arithmetic to calculus. My personal favorite is trigonometry, because of how it ties in with circles and bridges geometry with calculus. As I have excelled in math throughout my academic career, I have tutored classmates throughout the years. I enjoy helping people learn, because I think it is how we connect and evolve as people.My belief is that all students have different capacities of learning as well as different approaches to achieve comprehension of study material. As a tutor, I find that I try to find and optimize a student's preferred approach to learning, as it is usually the one that helps a student learn the most in the fastest amount of time possible for them. Be it more practice, or more in-depth explanation of the material, I try several different methods of tutoring to see what clicks with each individual student, and then continue with what works. I believe that it is essential to communicate well with a student, and the only way to understand what they don't understand is by discussing with them what confuses them without any pressure or reproach. I also focus in on areas that students lack mastery of, particularly the basics (such as arithmetic), and add extra review on those subjects, even if it isn't required. I find creating a safe, learning environment with the student essential, especially so that reviewing things that a student feels "they should have known already" doesn't feel embarrassing or reprimanding.When I'm not busy with school or work, I enjoy spending my time with friends watching TV/movies and cooking/eating good food. I am a big tennis fan, and follow most major Olympic sports.

Bobbie

Algebra Tutor • +35 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of California Santa Barbara. I received a Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics with an emphasis on Spanish. My experiences in education include tutoring students in a varied range of subjects and teaching English in China. I tutor Spanish and Math, with an immense passion for both! My passion for tutoring comes from the ability to aid a student perform as well as they want to, in the end realizing their full potential and going beyond what they expect of themselves. I firmly believe that every student has the ability to become whom ever they wish to become in their adult lives. My style of tutoring involves discovering which learning style a student is best comfortable with, and providing him or her with the appropriate techniques of learning. In my spare time I enjoy horseback riding, exercising, hiking, gaming, traveling, and looking at the night sky! I love to challenge myself in every aspect of my life and am always more than willing to help someone reach his or her full potential! I am dedicated to the empowerment of others through self-realization.

Bess

Math Tutor • +4 Subjects

I have a bachelor's degree in psychology from Southern Adventist University, located in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I worked as a research design, statistics, and general psychology tutor while earning this degree. I am currently in year two of a six year program to earn my PhD in Clinical Psychology. I tutor math, statistics, social sciences, and psychology. I enjoy tutoring math and statistics because I like trying to find new ways to help people understand sometimes complicated concepts. I find that things are easiest to learn if they can be applied to everyday kind of experiences, so I like to try and find ways to tie concepts into daily life.While I spend a lot of my time wrapped up in school, particularly in research and statistics, I also work part time as a therapy intern, and in my free time I love to ride bicycles. I am an avid cyclist, and I enjoy working on my small collection of bicycles when I can find the time.

Maggie

Algebra Tutor • +14 Subjects

I am a graduate of Purdue University with my Bachelor's of Science in Biomedical Engineering. I am currently working towards my Master's at the University of Southern California in Medical Device and Diagnostics Engineering. I have experience in mentorship through high school volunteering as a mentor for freshman and other new students at the school. I also have mentorship experience through my roles as Team Leader and Supervisor for Purdue's new student orientation program, Boiler Gold Rush. These mentorship experiences have strengthened my open-minded, positive, patient, and friendly personality. I love meeting and interacting with mew people! I tutor Biomedical Engineering, AP Calculus AB, Calculus, Pre-Calculus, Algebra2, Algebra, Pre-Algebra, Geometry, and Middle School Math. My favorite subject is Calculus (both AP and regular) because it challenges students to integrate multiple concepts and apply them to real situations. Calculus is also inspiring to me because of its real world applications and uses. My tutoring style focuses on how the student learns, not simply what they are learning. I like to figure out how the student effectively learns (are they a visual leaner? more of an auditory learner? a combination of both?) and tailor my tutoring accordingly. Outside of academia, I enjoy golfing, being outdoors, and reading (currently I am fascinated by non-fiction books about viruses and bacteria!).

Despite graduating magna cum laude from a mechanical engineering program on a full scholarship, I didn't always like math and science. It can take a lot of effort to "click" with these kinds of subjects, but once you do, it's a surprisingly rewarding experience. (Yes, I am a huge nerd now. See photo.) You just need to break down the problems, recognize patterns, and apply the concepts. So if you're just required to take a math course and you're sick of having a panic attack every time you look at a problem, or if you're in a STEM program and you are constantly worried that you don't belong there, I can help. I can also help if you just need to review or clarify a subject.
