Award-Winning Test Prep Tutors serving Catalina Foothills, AZ

...at the University of Arizona. My primary interests in college were chemistry, biology (especially plant biology) and physical science. My desire is to help all students, no matter what their age or ability, to be successful in learning a subject, whether it's math or science or reading. I recognize that different learners learn differently, and I use different strategies to engage their ability to learn and succeed. There is nothing like the joy of...... Develop techniques...

...believe the biggest obstacle people have with these subjects is the fact that math and science often relies on abstract ideas that are seen as purely logical. My top strategy is to put the abstract back into reality. To make far out there mathematical theory something that you can visualize and relate to. I often use metaphors and analogies to explain the math and concepts behind problems. The reason I started doing this was for...

For each of these languages I'm happy to help students achieve those goals which are most important to them--whether it's preparing for a test, revising their writing, or simply practicing their conversational skills.

I love Math and I believe everyone can do it. Maybe not like Einstein, but it is a skill, and with practice everyone can get better. For some kids they need a new way to think about it, some kids just need to survive it ;-)

Life long learning is a hoot! Even with what I have accomplished, I'm not through yet. Curiosity has me constantly looking for things I don't know and mastering them. With 50 years in the classroom - yes this is an old picture - I'm still sticking nose into new things and pushing to learn all I can. If you can express your needs, we will find them together.

I honestly believe learning is a lifelong process and I hope that through working together...

Hello! My name is Petra, I am 22 years old. My first language is Spanish I have been a tutor for several years. I have helped students from Elementary, Middle School, High School and College Level. I enjoy helping students learn.

...Elementary School teaching training as part of its curriculum. In college, I majored in ESL, and Spanish was my minor. Since then, I have taught these languages to students of all ages and professions. Learning a language is very much like building a house: it must start from the foundation! That is, the basics. From there, students keep on adding 'bricks' in a consistent way, until reaching the 'roof', their goal. Even though quite a...
