Award-Winning Trigonometry Tutors in Palo Alto, CA

As a UC Berkeley graduate with medical school aspirations, tutoring and teaching is a natural transition. I have experience with all age groups (elementary to post-college) and enjoy the process of creating true understanding along with building strong relationships with my students. If I can share even a fraction of my love of science, math and other subjects with students I know progress will be made!... Using guided questions and creating a strong knowledge foundation to help every individual learn the best way possible for them!

...a wide variety of subjects such as algebra, geometry, pre-calculus, AP Calculus, and high school biology! I feel that I will be a good tutor because I am extremely patient as I have struggled to learn some of these subjects myself. In addition, I can provide supplementary materials based on the topics that the students are learning. Furthermore, I am willing to put in the time and effort until students learn the material!... I believe that it is important to help break down the topic into digestible pieces. In addition, I feel that graphics can be extremely useful in demonstrating a variety of topics. I think explanations should be backed up by doing all the right practice problems and helping students understand these practice problems.

...myself, not just as a tutor, but as a person as well. The subjects that I tutor are mainly in the math department. The math subjects that I do enjoy tutoring the most would be Statistics, Algebra, Trigonometry, and Calculus. During my tutoring sessions, my students and I always try to have fun with the session by relating the deep mathematical concepts using silly examples. Besides my tutoring background, I do love to play volleyball,...

...tutoring elementary students and have tutored 1st to 9th grade English, Math, and Science and test prep for SAT and GRE Math and the Chinese Subject test. I don't prefer any subject over another. I just enjoy working out problems with students. I truly believe that any student can excel in whatever they learn. They might just need a little help and guidance in figuring out the subject, and that is where I come in....

...and college level mathematics and SAT/ACT preparation. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, the subjects that interest me the most are calculus, college level mathematics, and test prep. I have a calm, adaptive tutoring style. I revise my tutoring strategies to fit each student's unique traits and I believe that a calm demeanor causes students to be less stressed, which in turn improves their performance. In my spare time, I enjoy following 49ers...

...skills), Math, and Biology. Effective tutoring is very personal and requires work by both the tutor and student. I always try to work with my students on set common goals, and to identify clear strategies to meet those goals. Often, this involves motivation and stress management strategies as much as covering material. When I’m not tutoring, I swing dance to big band music, cook dinner for my friends, backpack in the Sierras, and paint landscapes.

I graduated from the California Institute of Technology in 2011 and have over 5 years of tutoring experience. I enjoy doing Math, Physics and programming problems for fun. I want to teach others how fun Math and Science can be.

I have over 14 years experience tutoring students in a variety of subjects. I use humor and empathy to make my tutoring accessible to those who were formerly struggling with their tests or studies. Like a skilled trade, a musical instrument, or a sport, mastering a subject requires lots of practice, but time spent practicing can be up to 3 times more effective if done with a coach who can demonstrate techniques.... Knowledge is awesome and the truth is fascinating. The teachers who have impacted me most have simply revealed this fact to me. The best teachers in my experience are not so much those whose credentials are impressive or whose research is novel, but those who have a deep passion for their subject that pours forth in a contagious love of knowledge.

...taking a few years off before applying to medical school. In my free time, I like to read, run, do yoga, and cook. I have experience teaching both Verbal Reasoning and Math portions of the SAT, and I also have tutored Chemistry, Biology, Calculus, and Writing. When teaching, I like to give relatable examples and prefer to get to know my students well so I can better understand how their mind works and help them...

...and Sociology. In 2011, I received my California Multiple Subjects Teaching Credential. I have been working in classrooms, providing academic support, since 2004. I have extensive experience working with individuals with special needs, from moderate to severe, and the gifted population. I am highly adept in tailoring education to fit each learner's needs, while maximizing output, motivation, and self-confidence. I sincerely enjoy working with children, listening to their stories, and sharing a laugh as I...
