Hi I'm Tess! I'm a Mathematics major at UNC Charlotte with minors in Linguistics and Cognitive Science. I've been tutoring for 4 years now and have worked with students ranging from ages 10 to 50. My specialty is math, specifically Algebra and Trigonometry, as I have the most experience tutoring in these areas. I have experience as a teaching assistant for MATLAB and I'm also proficient in Java. No matter what subject I'm tutoring, one of my main goals with each student is to help them develop critical thinking and problem solving skills that they can apply to areas beyond what we go over in a tutoring session.

I have been tutoring intermittently for more than 10 years, and have enjoyed working with children, teens, and adults on math and English. Tutoring can be an instrumental part of learning for people that are struggling to keep up with new subjects, and for those hoping to advance beyond school standards. Recently, I was successful in working with two elementary school students, helping them reach their goals of entering an elite school in their area. While living abroad, I taught English as a second language in both a small classroom setting and privately. I believe in setting goals and helping students find their personal path to reaching those goals. I received my Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science, Policy, and Management, with a focus on policy and law, and an associated minor in Hydrology. Currently, I am completing a Bachelor of Arts in Russian. In my free time, I enjoy reading, playing tennis, walking around the city with my dog, Juno, and playing the piano. In the winter I love to ski and snowboard. I have always been passionate about math and teaching and I look forward to getting the opportunity to share my knowledge with you or your child!

I am graduating in December 2017 from the University of Washington with a degree of Bachelor of Psychology. I love teaching, and I have much teaching / tutoring experience. I am passionate to teach Chinese and math. I have worked with different age groups: the preschoolers, Pre-K, elementary kids, and high school students. From these experiences, I learned a lot. I learned to use different ways to teach different age groups. For example, to the preschoolers and Pre-K kids, I would develop some games and activities in the classes, such as painting, candy counting, making own faces, looking for shapes or colors in the classes. For the elementary kids, I would ask them to read the books, to talk about the stories, use jeopardy, or to create something on their own. Of course, I would also develop some games, and sometimes I would ask them to work together or in groups to make a roleplay or do some small projects. For high school students is much easier, since they know what they need to learn and easier to understand the concepts, I would ask them to develop their own ways to learn. In the classes, I would ask all of them to participate, and also help each other to learn as well.I would also change my teaching depended on the kids' performance in classes. For example, when I taught the preschoolers and pre-K kids, once we were learning the body part in Mandarin class. I printed different styles of the body parts for them to design their own face. However, they didn't really interest in it because they were not really good at cutting. Therefore, I changed the way next time. I bought the stick online with different cute designs of body parts as well in class. The kids loved them and they learned really fast in the class. From these experiences, I learned a lot, and I hope to learn and develop more my own ways of teaching in my current and future experiences for offering better teaching to the students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, y exercising, painting, or create some DIY gifts.

You may call me a degree collector or an enthusiast of learning. With two Masters' degrees, two undergraduate degrees, and two minors, I studied everything from Russian, Spanish, and Philosophy to Physics and Space Science.My drive to uncover the unknown and zeal for problem-solving proved to be useful in the airspace, oil and gas, and real estate industries where I've worked for more than 13 years.Nothing in my career, however, has been as gratifying as helping students connect the dots. In my extensive work as a math and physics tutor for high school and university students, I have always followed three simple steps:1. identify what the student does not know2. figure out what they know3. help them close the knowledge/understanding gap.In explanations of concepts, I strive to bring the abstract to reality for my students. When we are solving problems, I rarely give my students straight answers. I guide them so they can arrive at the answers by themselves or I point them to where they may find clues.I love seeing "the wheels starting to turn." This is how my students gain confidence in their abilities.My ultimate goal is to model for my students studying skills so that they can eventually handle their learning by themselves. Yes! My goal is for the students NOT to need me. Because independent learning is king and problem-solving skills are gold in real life!My students always master much more than the subject they needed help with.

I am currently enrolled at NYU Tandon School of Engineering and am majoring in Integrated Digital Media with a minor in computer science. While I am a full-time student, I see no better option than tutoring in my spare time. I first started tutoring in my first year of high school and continued through my four years which definitely helped me mature in that time. There is something so unexplainably gratifying in seeing one's frustration in not understanding a concept turn into excitement once he/she has grasped it. In order for a child to succeed, it is key that they are helped through this frustration stage so that they can regain the confidence to tackle any problem put before them. I found it very important to not only help the children I tutored to rebuild their confidence, but to also let them know that success is dependent on how much effort they put into their studies. I often asked students how they felt after the introduction of every concept in order to gage their understanding of the material thus far; this was beneficial because I could usually monitor when a child would get confused thus understanding when I had to focus on certain material. I, too, was a child who was too nervous to stop my teachers/tutors anytime I would get confused which is why I think it is necessary to reach out and ask the child how they are doing.I tend to gravitate more towards tutoring in math because of the ease I had with it when I was in middle and high school but am still more than willing to tutor humanities based subjects. Outside of academia, I like to draw, paint, creatively write, and volunteer at animal shelters.

Hello! With over 4 years of tutoring experience, I'm on a mission to ignite a love for learning in younger generations. As an undergraduate at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, I'm pursuing a Computer Science Degree and channeling my enthusiasm for academics into my tutoring endeavors.My teaching journey has encompassed a wide range, from assisting independent clients to contributing my skills at a renowned tutoring center. I take immense pride in nurturing students to excel in their subjects and conquer tests effortlessly. My fundamental belief is in establishing a genuine connection with each student, allowing learning to unfold naturally.Throughout my journey, I've celebrated the success of 4 students who achieved remarkable scores of 1500+ on their SATs. My approach blends the right techniques and personalized guidance, making academics an enjoyable journey for my students. Together, let's find joy in education and unleash our best potential."

I am a recent Harvard graduate who studied Computational Neuroscience looking to help students improve their performance, build confidence, and develop skills that will help them be successful in their test-taking and academic endeavors.

I am currently a M. Eng. mechanical engineering graduate student at the University of California Berkeley. I completed my undergraduate degree the University of Illinois at Chicago, majoring in bioengineering. I have been tutoring other students since high school and also have experience teaching engineering in a classroom setting. I especially enjoy teaching subjects that have a stigma for being difficult or unattainable and strive to change that perception. My strengths are math, science and standardized test preparation.

I am a rising sophomore at The Ohio State University where I am majoring in Mechanical Engineering and will also pick up a minor in Entrepreneurship and innovation. I love art and being creative and I also love math and science so I am hoping to combine my passions working somewhere as a design engineer after college. Before Ohio State, I graduated from Springfield Highschool where I was the valedictorian. I am very passionate about education and learning because I believe it can really empower people to do and be anything they want, and use their knowledge and creativity to make the world a better place. I love to help and teach others, and, although I can tutor in multiple subjects, I am most passionate about physics and math. I have ample experience working with younger kids, and am also experienced with how to work with highschoolers and older students and teach to AP and standardized tests as I took them not too long ago.

I love helping students feel good about mastering a new concept so that they can feel confident learning new things. I've tutored students of all ages both in person and online since 1998. I started tutoring Calculus at UW Madison while working on my Electrical Engineering Degree and continued tutoring Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus ever since. I've also done summer enrichment programs giving kids the opportunity to build their own circuits.My favorite subject is pre-calculus because it brings things together from geometry, algebra and trigonometry.My tutoring style very much depends on the student. I like to first understand the student's approach and then I like to find a way to meet them in the middle without starting over.Outside of academia I spend time with my wife and two kids. I am also the co-founder of a healthcare information technology consulting group and we love solving data problems for health systems.
