Award-Winning Trigonometry Tutors serving Blaine, MN

...18, particularly as a volunteer. I've worked with an 8 year old who has some learning disabilities. I also spent a year as a TA for an algebra 1 class working with students with similar challenges, ADHD, Dyslexia, and Processing Gaps. I've also done volunteer tutoring in Chemistry and Essay writing. I am flamboyantly nerdy: especially about Math, Medicine, Chemistry, and Politics. I currently am a Wilderness Emergency Medical Technician. I love the theater, being...

...having the opportunity to study things that are meaningful and relevant to one's life and interests. Inviting student dialogue about the lessons and units of study lends the opportunity for input, students generate ideas and set goals that make for much richer activities than I could have created or imagined myself. When students have ownership in the curriculum, they are motivated to work hard and master the skills necessary to reach their goals. Helping students...

...Outreach for the Society of Physics Students at UF. My main motivation for tutoring is simply that I love physics and math, and find them immensely beautiful. I want to share that love and illustrate concepts visually and intuitively rather than through mechanical computation. There's a quote I can't track down along the lines of "Do not attempt a proof until it is almost obvious" which guides my teaching philosophy. Outside of tutoring, I play...

I enjoy teaching math because to the student who doesn't understand, it is a riddle with no answer. By teaching them how to recognize the type of problem and how to decode the clues, the student gets to be on the other side of the riddle, the side on which they solve it and feel good about it.

A former math teacher in Minnesota, I moved to North Carolina to do more dancing and see a different part of the world. I've worked as both a math teacher and in banking, so I know what you need to know for 'real life.' Most recent subjects taught: Algebra 1 and 2, Pre-Calculus.

...my education I've frequently made use of online resources like khanacademy, letting me learn more about math, physics, and other subjects than I could through school. However, sometimes it was difficult to find the resources I needed to learn as much as I was capable of learning. I chose to tutor on this website so that I could help other motivated students in that situation, and so that I could share my passion for math...

...teaching experience at both university and secondary levels. I have a natural talent for seeing subjects from the point of view of the student; I am not stuck in my own expertise. I am committed to finding effective strategies for facilitating understanding for each student, rather than just process. Special notes for Competition Math: I placed first in the Twin Cities (St. Paul / Minneapolis, MN) HS league twice, with one time being a tie....

...facilitate their learning and school engagement. I have graduated recently enough to remember what school and class are like. It's an exciting time in life, but it can bring challenges too, at any level of education. That's why I'm here to collaborate with any students who can benefit from my tutoring. I hope to show clarity, professionalism, and respect in helping students master their work and continue to feel eager about learning.

..."aha" moments. Math is challenging for a lot of students. Since math skills build on themselves year after year, small learning gaps from past years can snowball and leave students confused. My challenge is often to figure out where exactly those learning gaps are fill them in. For higher-level math, it can sometimes be a matter of explaining things different ways until one of them sticks. The abstractness and hierarchical nature of math is a...

I am a current Ph.D. student at the University of Minnesota studying social psychology. I received a B.A. in Psychology and Mathematics/Statistics from Luther College in 2016, as well as completing a minor in environmental studies. I was a math tutor for three years as an undergraduate and worked primarily with first and second-year undergraduates in Pre-calculus and Calculus I.

I believe a fundamental understanding of math and science allows students to properly analyze any situation and learn how to obtain solutions. I will work with all my passion and energy to impart fundamental understanding in order to enable students to think critically and solve problems in unique ways.

I graduated from Lawrence University with a B.A. in both math and physics and a minor in computer science. I have experience tutoring high school students in calculus and helping college students with their homework for intro physics and math courses. I love math and enjoy helping others understand and master concepts that they are struggling with.

...also a capable Math tutor! I have long held a belief that Math is the music of the universe, and would be excited to help with your everyday homework or help you prep for the SAT exam. Math can be just as beautiful as a Mozart Sonata, or a Puccini Aria, and I try to convey not only the knowledge but the excitement that mathematical success can bring. In my spare time, I play Kerbal...

...rubs off on the students I work with so that they might become lifelong learners themselves. I would describe my teaching style as "supportive independence" since I believe strongly that students will struggle to learn if they don't feel supported but will never become self-sufficient learners without a teacher guiding them to independence. I typically start a tutoring relationship by building a layer of trust, communication, and support and then gradually move towards independence as...

...is my specialty when it comes to teaching or tutoring, but I have also been trained in techniques for tutoring all subjects included in standardized tests, especially the SAT. My tutoring style comes from my firm belief that a student will grow when they genuinely have their interest piqued, and the best way to do that is for their instructor to genuinely show passion and interest in the subject in order to pass that excitement...

...to know how to get the best scores on their exams. To help students understand difficult topics, I will often draw or write my own examples that are not included in the textbooks. Not only does this work well for visual learners, it helps ensure they have an understanding of the concepts and not just the questions in the book. While teaching test prep, I have also had students work to recognize their strong and...

...will be working in math research/teaching as a graduate student. I became proficient in French in 2013 following high school, after which I have maintained proficiency by taking upper-level French courses and taking part in immersive experiences such as working for French-speaking families. Since I grew up a native English speaker, I understand the difficulties that come with learning a new language, and am excited to help people work through these challenges and enjoy the...

...for the ACT. I scored a 36 on both the reading and English portions of the ACT. I was also ranked in the top 5% of students who took the PSAT. Essay writing is another specialty of mine. I have qualified for the National Speech and Debate Association tournament and have helped students write speeches and essays, as well as helping them improve their public speaking skills. I believe in the importance of education. I...

...life were influenced by my mentors. Now, I've been teaching for more than five years and have found a great fit with Connections Academy. I continue to focus on one important attribute to high teacher efficacy, which is the notion that even under the most extreme circumstances, I believe that students can learn math no matter what. In those regards, I realize that students all learn differently and it's my goal to find out who...

...from the UW-Madison, before moving to Minnesota to go to graduate school and study molecular evolution. For the last 12 years however I have been a middle and high school teacher. I have taught a large variety of subjects in that time though chemistry (all levels) and genetics are my favorite. I prefer to begin tutoring with a new student by asking a lot of questions to help me identify the key reasons for their...
