Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in Washington DC

...high school students in Algebra 1 at the University of Maryland. My favorite subjects to teach are Math and Chemistry. My teaching philosophy is to strengthen my student's basic understanding of subjects and get them to understand the topic rather than just memorize (which unfortunately is how most public schools work). I approach teaching from the perspective that my students should learn not just what to think, but how to think. This way, they can...

...These two universities have students that are very different from each other and I excelled in teaching both groups. My background is in mathematics, I have a bachelors and masters degree in math from UT and NYU respectively, but I branched out from pure math and received a PhD from the McCombs School of Business in financial engineering. I left my job in Singapore in August and I start a new job as a professor...

I am very adaptable...

...school. My primary area of tutoring is Mathematics, which I have loved since a young age and excelled in classes throughout middle-school, high-school, and college years. I love Math because (1) I comprehend it well (2) I enjoy teaching it to others, and (3) I find that being strong in math can translate beneficially into other aspects of life, even when we don't immediately realize it. I consider myself a visual learner, which affects the...

I've been tutoring math and science for the last ten years. I really like this job because I enjoy working with kids, and I also love to talk about my interests. This is a great job. My hours are flexible, and I can re-arrange times to fit your needs (for example, if there's a test on Tuesday, I could come on Monday instead of the scheduled time). I can also tutor both SAT and GRE.

I am a recent graduate of Brandeis University where I double majored in Neuroscience and Health Policy. I am a veteran of the Montgomery County Public School system. I graduated from the International Baccalaureate Program at Richard Montgomery, and was an AP Scholar with distinction. I love working with people to help promote understanding, especially in the areas of math and science.... Teaching style should strongly depend on the student, else you risk either wasting time...

...moved to Washington D.C. to get my MA in European History at American University. Throughout my undergraduate and graduate studies, I have tutored German and Mathematics, and I am eager to continue my work at Varsity Tutors. My goal is to become a teacher, either at the High School or College level. I believe that education and the process of educating are two-way streets, during which both parties learn and evolve constantly. Success, especially in...

I also became somewhat of a mentor to these students and helped them with their resumes for jobs and their applications for graduate school. Also, during my experience as a Psychology graduate student, I have worked with many children, adolescents, and adults with carrying degrees of learning styles and learning abilities. Over time I have learned multiple skills, tips, and techniques to help students who may have...

...out and explore New York, watch Netflix marathons of Dexter and Orange is the New Black, and go out with friends as often as possible. Music is my passion and I try to get out to as many shows as possible in this great city. I even ran a non-commercial radio station back in Boston! Because I learned how to study early, I have time to do what I want instead of locking myself inside...

...subjects, Mathematics and Sciences 4th-9th, and History 9th-12th. For the last five years, I have taught in a variety of grades as well as schools from 1st grade all the way up to 8th grade Mathematics. During this time, I worked with large group of students as well as individuals before and after school to help them understand and grasps concepts being taught in class. Furthermore, I tutored privately as well, which allowed me the...

...students as they work through problems in their own way, being resourceful and prepared in order to respond to students' questions as they arise, and being enthusiastic with the subject material so as to maintain the students' interest. With these traits and characteristics as the backbone of my teaching/tutoring philosophy, I have been, and believe I will continue to be, quite successful at helping students achieve a greater understanding and appreciation of mathematics. As for...

...of attaining higher education, desired exam results, and a better understanding of core subjects while sharing the opportunities that my university (UWE) had to offer on and beyond campus. This was done through in class teaching support/assistance mostly in Math classes; one-to-one or small group sessions in school libraries tutoring or mentoring students with specific needs; chaperoning and leading open day campus tours and university sponsored educational trips; and personally presenting motivational assembly speeches. A...

...one-year post baccalaureate premedical program at Bennington College in Vermont. This was an incredibly challenging experience, in which I not only learned physics, chemistry and biology, but I also learned to be strategic with my time, and get the most out of my classes and homework. Upon completing the premedical program with flying colors I took the MCAT in mid July 2015. As someone who struggled with math and science in high school, but excelled...

...with Reading Partners, an organization that pairs volunteers with a student who is reading below grade level. After just a few months with my student, I was able to help my student attain grade-level reading skills and discover a love of nonfiction books. I also volunteered with my university's English Language Institute. There I helped a student from South Korea improve his English skills and acclimate to life in the United States. Upon graduating, I...

...specialize in STEM subjects, literature and critical reading, and test prep. I earned my BS in Biology at the University of Dallas - a Great Books liberal arts college.

Although I am studying English, I have a newfound joy in teaching math, specifically Algebra. I love that math is very objective whereas there is only one answer although there are many ways to arrive at the answer. I have learned that, while tutoring, it is extremely important to have fun with a...

...fields that they find popular and appealing in today's society. By amplifying the beauty within each topic of mathematics as it is being taught, a student will feel connected to the material, thus easing the apprehension of learning new concepts. Building a student's confidence in their ability, especially with mathematics, aids in the instructor's main duty of teaching, while also contributing to that student's ability and overall psyche. Through a rich combination of assessments, lectures,...

...pleasure of working with adult learners. The rapport and interaction with students is as important to me as the mathematics. Many people come to tutors with math anxiety and previous failures. The best tutors learn to "read" each individual and offer them exactly what they need at a certain time. Because I develop a rapport and truly enjoy my students, I am able to quickly diagnose problems and then offer they specialized assistance they need.

...academically and professionally. I have extensive experience tutoring high school students in AP Biology, Honors Biology, and Honors Biochemistry. Last summer, I designed the curriculum and taught a seven-week intensive course on SAT Critical Reading and Writing. As a high school student, I didn't have much luck with my own SAT tutors. I have since taken my own personal experiences as a student and improved my own teaching style. I find that students are able...
