Award-Winning Tutors in Washington

...I have assisted peers and younger students with various levels of math, science, and engineering coursework. I enjoy sharing my passion for calculus and love seeing the look of satisfaction when a student solves that difficult integral. When tutoring, my approach is to work with the student to first understand the problem and then to logically think through the process of solving it, thereby more fully learning the material. I am a big fan of...

...want the students to understand the rationale behind the question. Yes, the student may get a specific question right, but what about other problems? Will the student have the skill set to solve other problems. To aid the student in learning, I draw in examples from other disciplines or my own experience when I learned the topic and what helped me in my own understanding. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to...

...hard to have this attitude when struggling with a subject and I love helping someone take acquire the tools they need to succeed in hard subjects. English is my favorite subject to tutor. I love the challenge of close reading, editing essays and discussing novels. I can even help dissect poems! In addition, I took all my science courses (and the MCAT) very recently so Chemistry, Biology and Biochemistry are all fresh in my mind....

Every student deserves the opportunity to excel. The only stupid questions are the ones you don't ask.... Every student deserves the chance to excel.... Ask where he/she feels comfortable with the subject material and where he/she feels uncomfortable.... Independent learning occurs when a student takes the next step beyond the basics of what is required.... Always keep in mind the objectives of the learning. Look for ways to apply the learning beyond a classroom.... Find new ways to describe the problem. Ask the student to describe the problem in his/her own words and see if a solution comes to mind from that.

...program at the Nehemiah Center in Houston, TX my sophomore year of college, working with a wide variety of subjects and all grade levels from Pre-K to 8th grade. From my experience, I have realized that while I tutor in many subjects, I especially love tutoring students in mathematics, particularly Algebra I, standardized test prep, general Chemistry, and French. My goal is to find the best method of teaching that works for each individual student,...

I'm a graduate student at an MD/MBA program and look forward to working with you. I have extensive experience in tutoring math and science. I am an expert in the Biological Sciences and Chemistry, but I have very strong math skills also. My teaching style is very unique in that I try to develop a strong rapport with the student to continue development, on a macro and micro-cosmic level.

...topics like Cell Biology, Physiology, Microbiology, and Genetics. I enjoy these subjects because I find the mechanisms of how the body and cells work truly intriguing. From my experience in teaching students of all ages, I believe that one of the most effective ways to teach others is by instilling in them a desire to learn and an interest in the subject matter. I strongly believe in the value of a good education and also...

...to their bodies, prospective students seeing if the field of medicine was for them, medical students working on their clinical rotations, or new hires learning the ropes, getting the chance to sit down with people and share my knowledge and love of the material was consistently the highlight of my day. I've always had an aptitude for math and science and have been unofficially tutoring my peers since middle school. I believe that if you...

...not-so-secret history buff, especially when it comes to European History. I've also got quite a bag of tricks when it comes to study tips, organization, and balancing studying with life. I got my start in tutoring during my undergraduate studies at DU. I was a camp counselor with a summer camp for high schoolers. The camp focused on Chemistry and Math. Afterwards, I taught PCAT review classes. My personal tutoring style involves pieces of the...

...Before teaching full time, I was a long term substitute teacher and a tutor. The majority of my experience is with students age 5-12. I currently teach fourth and fifth grade special education. As a special education teacher, I have experience adapting text for students, using multiple types of questions to build student success, and using technology to practice skills my students are acquiring. Tutoring can be an intensely rewarding experience for students and their...
