Award-Winning Calculus Tutors serving Cary, NC

...in educational technology but also enjoy reading, hiking in the woods with my family, going to the beach, and occasionally skydiving. I've been tutoring math for over 5 years, both online and in person, mostly working with community college students. I've taught math and biology for about 3 years, both at 4-year schools and community colleges. I love both subjects equally! I read about 30-40 books per year, including fiction and nonfiction (mostly science).

...and college counseling. I also formally tutored my fellow-students in mathematics and physics. Fall of my junior year, I began working as a teacher's assistant for Penn's freshman calculus. I led multiple recitations for up to 80 students in one semester, held office hours, and graded homework. My teaching style in math-related subjects tends to be detailed and review-oriented. Students become confused in math when teachers skip steps or incorrectly assume that the student understands...

...philosophy centers around building a student's confidence in their own learning abilities (particularly if they have math anxiety) and helping a student develop the language of math. My goal is not for students to just find an answer; my goal is for them to be able to explain how they reached their answer, which is in itself a much more powerful ability. Additionally, being able to explain a mathematical process goes hand in hand with...

...help students get an extra edge in their studies. I've had some math and language tutoring experience at my local Chinese school and math and public speaking coaching experience in high school. I tutor a wide variety of subjects in science, english, and math, as well as public speaking. I especially enjoy tutoring public speaking and math. I'm a versatile tutor who doesn't hesitate to use every resource available. My hobbies are reading, running, and...

I'm Alexandra but you can call me Ally; I am a freshmen engineering major at the University of Notre Dame so I'm a huge math and science nerd. I'm excited to work with new clients and establish relations with existing ones to help everyone reach their full academic potential!

I am an experienced tutor for STEM fields, writing/reading comprehension, as well as standardized test prep. My background is in mathematics and chemistry, but I also have done work in writing and journalism. I am available to tutor all ages through high school and will tailor my tutoring form to fit your specific needs and learning style. Please feel free to send me a message and hopefully we can work together to achieve your goals.

I will be graduating from The College of New Jersey with a degree in Physics. Starting in September, I will be pursuing my PhD in Physics at the University of North Carolina. Through my career as a physics major I have gained extensive experience in helping students in science and math courses such as physics 1 and 2, calculus 1 and 2, and SAT Math.

There's nothing wrong with making mistakes and asking questions as long as you learn from them.

...years. I enjoy helping students gain a better understanding of these subjects by engaging them actively. I like to make sure students are not just given answers, but have a clear understanding of how those answers were obtained. I try to use multiple approaches in tutoring, using not only formulas, but drawing and diagrams to help see what those formulas represent. I use a TI-83/84 calculator and Excel in my tutoring and have some experience with...

...including lecture, recitation, labs, and the 'flipped classroom' style of studios. In addition to tutoring and teaching, I have been involved in outreach activities designed to bring physics understanding to a public-education level. I am well-trained in teaching and tutoring, and have the ability to tailor my explanations on the fly to different ability levels, student backgrounds, and learning styles. I have experience in curriculum development and can create study materials and questions designed to...

...concentrate on the Republic of Venice, which some popular accounts claim lasted for a thousand years, from 797 to 1797. I think old-fashioned political and diplomatic history is the cat's meow! I disagree profoundly with the view that it is not relevant to the study of history today. I also like to mold and fashion Renaissance people among my students, drawing for them the connections e.g. between mathematics and other disciplines, such as philosophy and...
