I firmly believe that the vast majority of students who believe they are "bad at math" have tragically internalized this identity without true justification. I have personally seen students of mine shed that persona and it is a special thing to witness.

As a student of life, education, both formal and informal, energizes me. On the formal front, I have my AA in Psychology, my BA in Criminology, and my MS in E-Commerce, and I have an equally diverse post-studies career history. My love of education has taken me to Southern California where I fed my love of law and learned about film. Next, I visited rural Florida with a stint at a Community Theatre. I've even spent a fair amount of time in the Hospitality Industry in Las Vegas, which, unexpectedly, introduced me to the construction industry. Through all of this, I have been a professional tutor for profit and pro bono. I believe education should be available to everyone regardless of age, sex, or socio-economic status, and I utilize learning identification to impart wisdom in the most effective way possible for each student's needs. I love that magical moment when the student "gets it." With experience in a broad range of subjects, mathematics is the most enjoyable for me, as well as LSAT Logic Games I'm the weirdo doing LSAT games at the tea house. My spare time finds me in nature for hikes and trail runs, and I can regularly be found on an obstacle course (Spartan, Tough Mudder, SISU, etc.) or doing an extreme endurance events either racing or supporting friends. Life is to be learned and lived!

I am a senior student at Saint Louis University majoring in Biostatistics and Mathematics, with an appreciation for the power of education and the transformative role it can play in a student's life. Throughout my academic career, I have been dedicated to tutoring students across a diverse range of subjects, including mathematics, history, chemistry, Spanish, and biology. In addition to subject-specific tutoring, I have also assisted students in preparing for standardized tests. I understand the pressures associated with these exams and work diligently to equip my students with the tools they need to succeed. I have had the privilege of working with both high school and college students, tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each individual. My approach to tutoring is centered around patience, empathy, and adaptability, emphasizing the importance of understanding each student's learning style and tailoring my teaching methods accordingly. By doing so, I aim to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of the subject matter. My passion for statistics extends beyond the classroom. I am particularly interested in how statistical concepts are communicated in everyday conversations and their application in real-world scenarios. I strive to bring this enthusiasm into my tutoring sessions, making statistics not just a subject to be studied, but a lens through which students can view and understand the world around them.

I am an experienced educator with a strong background in both the sciences and languages. I earned my bachelor's degree from Boston University, double-majoring in Biology (with a focus on ecology and conservation biology) and Hispanic Language and Literatures. I also hold a Master of Arts in Teaching in the Biological Sciences from Miami University. For over a decade, I was an international educator in Guayaquil, Ecuador. I taught English as a second language to students of all ages and led the natural sciences department for a large bilingual elementary school. I now teach middle school science at a private school in the U.S. I tutor a wide range of subjects, and I am passionate about helping students gain confidence in areas where they've struggled. I love seeing students begin to enjoy subjects they once found too difficult or tedious. My goal is to provide patient, personalized support that helps every learner recognize their strengths and build lasting academic skills.

I am a graduate of the University of Missouri at Columbia, where I earned first my Bachelor's and then (some time later) Master's of Science in Mathematics with an emphasis on physics and the theory of computation. The latter degree was a necessary precursor to my next career where my workplace was the classroom: I don't believe in the importance of education because I teach; I became a teacher because I believe in the importance of education. Especially when trying to make informed decisions, as I came to realize in my first career as a data analyst. This I passionately believe; doubly so in matters where a certain fluency in the language of numbers is demanded.

Hello, my name is Yosef and I would be happy to serve as a math tutor. I place strong emphasis on a good balance between knowledge of mathematical content and proficiency in problem-solving, reasoning, and conveying mathematical ideas in writing. There are times when a student needs to be informed of a solution, times when he or she also needs to hear the explanation of why the solution works, and times when he or she should be guided to finding the solution on his or her own. It is important for the tutor to recognize which approach is appropriate. Frequently, when students struggle, it is because they do not understand the notation or terminology in use. In such cases, it is important to reassure the student, reminding him or her that he or she is only struggling with understanding a single word, not the entire mathematical concept. As a rule, people perform better and are better motivated when they have self-confidence, not when the task ahead seems frighteningly daunting. It is also important to recognize that different students learn best through different means. As an example, some students are visual learners and can understand the material best through pictures and gestures. Other students learn best through hearing the procedures vocalized, while still others learn best through writing out the steps of the solution procedure. I know to adapt my teaching style to the individual student. with these considerations in mind, I promise to provide the best assistance that I can, taking your individual needs into consideration.

Through personalized, engaging instruction tailored to each student's unique journey, I am committed to inspiring learners reach their full potential.

Hi, my name is Bob Gannon. I am a retired Electrical Engineer with over 35 years of experience teaching other engineers and helping them understand difficult subjects. I have a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maryland and a Master's degree from Johns Hopkins University. I am passionate about learning and I am continuously working to improve my skills. While working with you, if there is a topic that I am not very familiar with, I will research it and come up with the best way to present it to you. I look forward to working with you to help you understand your subject matter and enjoy learning. When we work together, we are a team, and I will do whatever I can to help you excel in whatever subject we apply ourselves to.

I am here to assist you in any way I can to learn mathematics. I would like to call my sessions "Mathematics Without Tears"!

I love tutoring because it allows me to make a direct and meaningful impact on someone's learning journey. There's a unique satisfaction in helping students grasp complex concepts and watching their confidence grow as they overcome challenges. Tutoring not only allows me to share my knowledge, but it also helps me refine my communication skills, as I must adapt my explanations to meet each student's individual needs. I find great fulfillment in fostering a positive, supportive learning environment where students feel encouraged to ask questions, make mistakes, and ultimately succeed. The personal connection formed through tutoring, combined with the opportunity to inspire a love for learning, makes it an incredibly rewarding experience.
