Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in Tempe, AZ

...speak clearly and always make sure I can help the student find a way to understand the material, even if it means deviating form normal techniques. I have tutored both kids and peers in the past. I have found that for kids, especially in mathematics, relating to something they enjoy makes the experience more enjoyable. Regarding peers/college level students, I can relate to them very well, because I have been through exactly what they're going...

...tutor, my goal is to instill confidence in students, develop a curiosity for the world, create a fascination for the fundamentals, and imbue motivation for learning from within the learner. I believe that every person has the capacity for any subject, and that in order to unlock the key to success, each student has to look inside themselves, with possibly help from an external source (in this example, me as a tutor!). I'm very passionate,...

...sure to go back and polish those up before getting back to the main problem. At the end of the day, I want the student to to feel confident they're getting better.

I'm confident I can help you or your child get better at math, and hopefully...

...the leading professors in my engineering concentration and often tutored co-workers in college math and physics classes. While studying for the GRE, I developed my own study system and approach which has been passed on and used by several friends. My teaching style can be best described as knowledge gap identification. I believe that the single most important thing for learning, after attitude, is identifying exactly what information has been miscommunicated. After this step, almost...

...do best with consistency and genuine care. I try to make my classroom fun and structured! My students get to enjoy their learning experiences and I get to enrich their learning with fun and structured activities and lessons. I love teaching, but I also enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and growing as a student myself! I believe in continuing my life in education and building a great foundation not only for my students...

...to me for a single session or we meet every week for a semester, I believe the first step to success with tutoring is to work together to set clear expectations. This lets us work toward the same goal, and makes it simple to set milestones to get there. Any problem area in any subject can be broken into smaller and smaller pieces, until suddenly you realize there was never a problem to begin with.

...my passion for the Japanese language and culture. During college, I spent two semesters in Kyoto, Japan, where I participated in an intensive language and emersion program. During my undergraduate years I tutored students for three semesters and saw how I could gently encourage making the subject “one’s own” in a friendly, supportive way. I’m patient and flexible when it comes to changing my approach based on a student’s particular learning needs. Rather than simply...

...students on that journey. I hold a master's in education from Grand Canyon University and a Bachelor of Arts in Education from Arizona State University.

...the guitar, ice skating, golfing and watching football. As a Finance major, I have always been interested in investing, real estate, capital markets and entrepreneurship. These fields require ambition, persistence, knowledge and initiative to achieve success. Solving problems in the business world can be very similar to solving problems in the classroom. I believe that education is extremely important for one's success and want to assist my clients with achieving their academic goals. I hope...

...there is only one answer (unless you are working with absolute values) and multiple ways to achieve that answer. So, if one method used to achieve the answer doesn't fit with your learning style there are other methods available. Usually when I tutor, I will ask questions in attempt to understand how much the student knows and where the "holes" in their learning are located. It's important to find these gaps because it enables me...

...it isn't perfect. People learn in different ways, and sitting in a classroom isn't always going to allow for optimal learning conditions. That's where I come in. By tutoring, myself and others are able to directly work with individuals until comprehension, understanding, and eureka moments abound. I am personally most interested in languages, math, history, literature, music, all forms of art, scientific investigation of the universe, and games which allow for a creative and competitive...

...the sciences, especially Biology, and I think that this passion and enthusiasm make a real difference while tutoring. I began causally tutoring family friends in high school, and over the years I've worked with students of varied backgrounds -- from those re-taking failed classes to those applying to (and being accepted at) the best universities. I'm proud to say that I've helped all my students reach their goals, frequently pushing them to exceed their expectations....

...I understand the hardships that many students must face in large classroom learning environments and so I can relate to younger or more mature adult students. I have much experience in working in a lab setting where application and science work in tandem so I realize the necessity in flexibility and the importance in explaining the exceptions to the rules that we learn in science. My studies have led me to pursue a career in...
