Award-Winning Tutors in Salt Lake City, UT

...and labored through the workbooks to prepare for taking the exams myself. The trick is to learn the test and know how to beat it with the right tools, and I am eager to pass along what I have learned from years of studying for and taking standardized tests. There is nothing quite like sitting down in the testing room and feeling cool, calm, and collected, and I want to help others feel confident, not...

...help students become independent, comfortable, and confident in the fields they are studying. I love helping people get to the "aha" moment when they really understand what's being taught. In my experience, one of the most important parts of tutoring is setting clear expectations at the beginning and working toward a common goal. Given the right goals and assistance, I truly believe that anyone can master any of the subjects I teach.

...figure things out without a lot of explanation. In most things, I'm not that guy! Like many students, understanding comes with repetition of principles and hard work. I have the perspective of a student trying to understand, not a teacher trying to preach. I love working with people from the ground up; we start at the comfort zone and work our way to improvement. I know I don't know everything, so I'm excited to learn...

...Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Management. I love understanding how everything works and that is one of my biggest motivators in school and learning in general.

...world. I am greatly motivated to teach in a way that my students understand the fundamental principles and not in a way that they can merely get the right answer. I love trying to pass on my enthusiasm for math and science to my students, and I am always looking for ways to show how cool and fun mastering these subjects can be. Although I am most passionate about physics, I also tutor math and...

...Everyone, with hard work, can tap in to deep potential and do great things. I seek to focus on the individual, their talents, abilities and desires, and help them to do this. I want people to realize the value of education for its own sake rather than simply being motivated by grades or test scores. Too often in education, potential goes untapped because it does not teach to individual's needs and is over-focused on results....

...an LDS mission in southern Spain. While there I did my best to take advantage of the learning opportunity. Spain has Spanish speakers from central and south america in addition to the native Spaniards. I learned to communicate with many people and perfect my Spanish one step at a time. I had to learn one step at a time and that is my tutoring philosophy. I know that a new language can not be learned...

...I took several AP classes, was on the honor roll, and was blessed to receive a full-tuition National Merit scholarship for college. I currently have an open major but am leaning toward a degree in finance or information systems. I am fluent in Spanish thanks to a two-year mission for my church. Because of this I am now part of a Hispanic volunteer group helping children learn to read more fluently. I played rugby and...

...become leaders in the community. I teach each student to be respectful of everyone and everything in order to create a safe learning environment. While I love teaching a broad range of subjects in Elementary Education, I am most passionate about Mathematics, Music, and History. In my spare time, I enjoy reading books and watching documentaries about world history. I also enjoy playing the piano and violin, and being in the outdoors.

My name is Ben. I struggled as middle school student mostly because I had a hard time focusing. I became an educator to help kids like me learn about the amazing world we live in. I have taught middle school geology and literacy. I have a background in chemistry, physics, political science and math up to calculus 1.... The world is a fascinating place, and it enriches our lives to learn more interesting things every day....

I also teach other subjects such as accounting, marketing, and algebra. I hope that I will be able to teach my students in a fun, exciting way so that they will be able to retain this valuable knowledge...

...easy; tests and homework would be mere obstacles to my grade. As I got into progressively harder subjects, especially when entering high school, I had to change in mindset of what it even means to BE a student. Standardized tests, subjects that I just didn't get, and all these other educational obligations had me perplexed. I was lucky enough to acquire a great tutor of my own who helped navigate through my studies. Test-taking strategies...

...the material pretty quickly, I was often able to help my peers come to an understanding as well. I enjoy helping people understand how to think about problems and figure them out. Every student is different, and it is very rewarding to be able to figure out how to help each individual student understand the material. I have a mind for problem solving, which is why I decided to pursue engineering, so I tend to...

...assisting high school students who have been suspended or expelled to get back into school. We taught several legal rights workshops to students both at detention facilities and in high schools. We also represented high school students in school exclusion hearings. Interviewing these students while studying critical race theory provided me with a deeper understanding of the school to prison pipeline and the effect that race has on the way an individual is perceived and...

...success in college came from the preparation I had from taking AP Calculus and Physics courses in high school. I'm a huge fan of visual aids and examining real-life examples and applications when teaching. I worked as a learning assistant in an astronomy lab course and as a tutor for student athletes in geology while attending CU. I've been honing the ability to craft perfect analogies to help you make sense of mathematical or physical...

...tutoring mentor teacher during that time. For the last year and a half I have worked with the teenage girls at church. I teach biweekly Sunday School lessons and help plan weekly activities. Currently I stay at home with our two little boys while my husband works on a PhD at Stanford and I love it, but I miss teaching and working with students. I tutor a wide range of subjects including history, writing, and...

...Inpatient Medical Rehabilitation unit at the University Hospital. Also, through out my undergrad I have gained experience tutoring from having a lot of my friends come to me to help them in the hard sciences I have already taken. In tutoring, I have found that the "eureka!" moment happens from going back to the basics, finding that disconnect of knowledge, and filling it in. I like to break down each component of the question and...

...currently working towards a Bioengineering degree at the University of Utah. I've always loved math and I'm great at helping students make sense of new or difficult concepts. As a tutor, I am careful to make sure that students are able to do problems on their own, without relying too heavily on memorization. Outside of school and work, I enjoy getting up in the mountains whenever I can. I especially like hiking, fishing, and backpacking....

...drugs, computer applications, or basic chemistry and math problems it all starts with the same steps: A) What do I know? B) What do I want to know? C) How do I get from A to B? I did PhD research in computational chemistry and dream of becoming a middle school math teacher if I win the lottery. PS - My online sessions will frequently be monitored by my chihuahua, Piper. She's quiet, but expect a...

...and sudoku puzzles are my favorite things to do on a long car ride when I'm not singing along to the radio! Besides singing, I also enjoy being with friends, whether that be inside playing games, or outside swimming and hiking and being adventurous.
