Award-Winning Trigonometry Tutors in Richmond, VA

...Mathematics from Purdue University and have worked as an Actuary for 25 years. Many students feel like they're bad at math, when they're really just missing one or two key concepts. I enjoy one-on-one tutoring because I can talk to a student, identify issues, and help in understanding the concepts and ideas. We'll draw pictures and graphs to illustrate, and explain it all in language the student can understand. Hearing a student say "Is that...

...lead preschool teacher. I received my Bachelor's in Psychology from VCU and am looking to return to school to further my education. While in college, I worked as a Supplemental Instruction leader, teaching general biology and anatomy.

In my own experience, I loved school and now I love teaching...

...effective tutor is versatile, understanding, and patient, which are three things that I strive to be. Everybody learns differently, so it is important to identify what works best for clients while tutoring them. Most topics are able to be simplified in one way or another, so it is my goal to do this in order to help those that I tutor to better understand the subject matter. I look forward to helping people and am...

...to college to earn a degree in psychology, I learned that I could earn extra income by substitute teaching during my days off from the ward.

When I began my first full-time mathematics teaching position, I...

...satisfaction, and even self-fulfillment in the accomplishment. That is why I tutor. After completing an undergraduate degree at UVA and a Master’s at VCU, I embarked upon a 20-year-plus teaching career. While both of my degrees are in English, my first teaching assignment was in math. (I know, right?) Over the years I have been lucky enough to teach a variety of subjects, including several sciences, more math—and yes, even English. When not turning on...

...based on the learning style and personality of the student. I fully dedicate myself to the student by ensuring that they have confidence in completely understanding the concepts behind the material that is being reviewed. I am a firm believer that anyone can excel in any subject depending on how the material is being presented. In my spare time, I love to dance, sew, play on my guitar, and work on projects where my creative...

...at private high school for 4 years. My subjects have included Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, pre-Calculus, and Linear Algebra. I have tutored in all of those subjects as well as pre-Algebra. As a teacher, I prefer open ended questions to multiple choice questions precisely because of the insight they provide on what each individual student may be struggling to grasp. A missed question is often the best way to discover and correct a misunderstanding....
