Award-Winning Trigonometry Tutors serving Tacoma, WA

As an experienced tutor and working engineer I can help answer questions about engineering, math, physics, and calculus subjects. My goal is to help my students understand their problems, how to solve them, and how to overcome obstacles when it comes to harder questions or on tests.

...show the student how to learn independently. Giving them answers to problems will not help them. Besides tutoring, I enjoy activities relating to the outdoors. Thus includes camping, hiking, kayaking, canoeing and more! I also enjoy playing the guitar. Below is my promise of value: I authentically care about the safety of others, enjoy spending quality time ensuring knowledge is communicated as efficiently and effectively as possible, and strive to protect and uphold what is...

...I enjoy helping people learn and grow, and over my time teaching I found I got the most enjoyment (and was also the most effective) in smaller group and one-on-one sessions. I try to teach through Socratic questioning and encouraging autonomy in my students, as independence is a crucial step to true understanding of subject material. I also try to teach concepts rather than questions, as being able to answer a question will answer just...

I am an engineer and designer. I really love teaching since it brings me joy when my students understand material that was once confusing to them. I know how frustrating it is to not understand a concept, so I am here to help!

Providing guidance in science and mathematics to help students understand the real-world applications of scientific and mathematical concepts in their everyday lives. I have a B.S.E. in Aerospace Engineering and a B.S. in Sustainable Energy Materials and Technology, and I am pursuing my M.S. in Aerospace Engineering.... Learning science and mathematics through real-world applications that show how concepts can actually be used to solve real problems.... I'd ask them about topics they feel uncomfortable with, as...

...Exam in Electrical and Computer, the PE Exam in Electrical and ComputerPower, the PMP and CAPM exams, and the Real Estate Broker Exam (both National and State). I also provide instruction in power systems design and analysis, career coaching (including interview preparation), and math test prep for the ACT, SAT, and GRE. In addition, I offer consulting services to a range of industries, including electric utilities, engineering consulting firms, high-tech data centers, Engineering Procurement Construction...

...diploma from Lindbergh High School in Renton, where I participated in Varsity Basketball and Track and Field in all my years. We also competed in the State Meet for the 4X1 Relay for 3 years straight. In other words, when it comes to my personality, I like to have fun, be competitive, and succeed. When it comes to my experience with tutoring, I have an arsenal. With my mathematical background I am here to help...

...degree in molecular biology and biotechnologies. I look forward to being able to work with students. My passion in teaching is making mathematics accessible to everyone. I particularly enjoying working on Algebra II, Pre-calculus and Trigonometry. I also love getting to work on ACT prep. Beyond teaching I am a very active person, I try to get outside as often as I can. Traveling is perhaps my biggest passion. I am excited to start exploring...

...relationships in academia. I enjoy tutoring students who have an interest in mathematics or demonstrate a willingness to learn. I myself started very slowly in intermediate college math courses, but gradually the subject matter was known with practice, which eventually enabled me to appreciate math as an art. I see this work as a mutual advantage and I intend to pursue graduate studies by fall at the University of Washington while hoping to learn and...

...am currently an undergraduate student attending Georgia Institute of Technology and studying Biomedical Engineering. I hope to transfer to the University of Washington to study Chemical Engineering in the near future. My strongest suits as a student have been in Mathematics and Science. My favorite subjects in those areas are Calculus and Physics. As a I continue on with my education I hope to discover more subjects that interest me. For my teaching experience, I...

...other students work toward their educational goals by gaining a better understanding of their course material as well as more interest and appreciation for the subject. When tutoring, it is important to me to stay positive, find the best way to explain a concept to each student, and connect the math to physical concepts or applications as much as possible. I am currently a math tutor at Saint Martins, and I enjoy helping students at...

...Trials. I have developed skills that permit me to effectively communicate my ideas and intentions to others. During my time as an undergraduate, I was a member of the Otis Coolidge Chapman Honors Program, an academic program that places an emphasis on writing skills across the disciplines. I have two published papers and a number of works in progress with professors and professional colleagues at Puget Sound, U of Washington, and Russell Investment Group. Recently,...

...at University of Washington planning on majoring in Chemistry. I've always been strong in math in science and have been helping people with these subjects since I've been in those classes. This year I am taking Calculus and Honors Chemistry. Many of the students that I have helped in the past tell me that they have gone on to learn the material much better. When I work with students I like to help them figure...

I have over 10 years of experience facilitating and leading both technical and non-technical projects in aerospace, IT and education. My technical acumen as an aerospace engineer affords me the skill and vocabulary to challenge technical assumptions built into organizational processes. I also hold two masters degrees, one in Organizational Leadership and an MBA in Change Management. PMP and SAFe/Agile certified, I keep up to date on the latest industry best practices.

...am a recent graduate of the University of Washington. At UW, I was a Pre-Med student, so I am very familiar with Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and other sciences. I also have spent the past few summers tutoring students in Reading and Writing and am able to help with everything from college essays and writing assignments to skills for standardized tests. I'm happy to work with a range of ages and will do my best to...

...people, including UW students, Seattle public high school students in both public and alternative schools, and working professionals. Teaching is a skill that I look to enhance every day, in and out of the classroom. When I was 16, in 2008, I made an instructional video visually showing how to change your default media player to any media player software you want to use, such as VLC, which is a light, RAM considerate alternative to...

...dynamics) programs I have written in MATLAB. When leading a tutoring session, I like to go through problems methodically, and break them down into their simplest components and concepts before explaining the full solution. I find that this way, complex concepts in calculus and physics become easier to remember, when they are grounded in simple principles. I love to draw attention to the way that complex subjects such as physics and calculus are ultimately reducible...

...the SAT, ACT, GRE, and GMAT and Advanced Placement Calculus and Physics. I work hard to make complex and challenging material accessible and enjoyable for a wide range of students. At all levels, I encourage both the hesitant and eager students to succeed. I tailor lesson plans to different learning styles and abilities. With the extra attention I give, my students consistently tell me they have learned more than they ever thought possible for themselves....

..."design thinking" framework for creative problem solving pioneered by the international design firm IDEO. While typically used in startups to develop new innovations, I've found it extremely handy in tutoring. Every student is different and so are their difficulties, so a finite set of ways to present a concept or tackle a difficulty is potentially limiting. In my experience, it's much more effective to use an adaptive framework like design thinking to identify the root...

...in whatever subject you are working with. In the past, I tutored professionally for the SAT and ACT, and informally helped people in all subjects. As of August, 2021, I'm just getting started here on Varsity Tutors. I've worked a lot as a software engineer, so I will be focusing on Computer Science to start with. I'll be reviewing Math next, and then see what other subjects I might like to try helping with.
