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.

...of kinematics. I want 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...

...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 that-one question. Teaching to the concept will allow you to answer the question and all other questions that employ a similar strategy. I also advocate for showing work and repeating steps to synthesize the learning process after a problem has been solved....

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...

...specialized in instructing Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam: Electrical and Computer, Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) Exam: Electrical and Computer-Power Exam, Project Management Professional (PMP) Exam, Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) Exam, Real Estate Broker Exam, Power Systems Design and Analysis, Career Coaching/Counseling/Development, General Math (PreAlgebra, Algebra I & II, Trigonometry, Geometry), and Math test preparation (ACT Math, SAT Math and GRE Quantitative). I also provide industry consultation services to my students and...

...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 you understand those theorems and math principles in order to make your studies a lot easier. I have experience with subjects like Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1-4, and Trigonometry, all the way up to Calculus 1-4, Multivariable, and Differential Equations. ALSO, I have knowledge...

...Since moving here, I have missed the opportunity to work with students. I have a master’s degree in education and a bachelor's 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,...

...the value of interpersonal 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...

...as a tutor, I have learned that every student has a different way to tackle the same problem, and as a tutor, it is my job not to teach my way to get to an answer, but guide my students on their own way. Outside of tutoring I enjoy playing soccer, basketball, and almost any sport. I also greatly appreciate literature, whatever form they might be in, including rap, poem, or novels.... Listen to students. By...

...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 many different academic levels. My past tutoring experiences include working as a Spanish tutor at Cascadia and working with my younger siblings, who are homeschooled, in a variety of subjects. I was also a competitive swimmer in high school, and am now...

...at the US Olympic 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...

...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 out how to do a problem themselves. My style is to not just work through problems for them but instead help them figure out how they can do these problems with all of the knowledge they all ready have but used in...

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.

...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 help make sessions as useful as possible.

...tutored an array of 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,...

...aerodynamic efficiency (computational fluid 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...

...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. Many of my students once nervous about math or science went on to major in these subjects in college with great success. They just had to get over fears and mental blocks. I have flexible hours and diverse teaching and tutoring experience...

...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 of students' issues and find/develop a solution that fits their...

...simplest, easiest way forward 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...
