Award-Winning Geometry Tutors serving Madison, WI

...and I continued to tutor during my undergraduate studies, which was some of the most rewarding work I've ever done. My engineering background has allowed me to take a wide variety of math and science courses, including Caclulus, Physics, and Chemistry, a few of my favorite subjects to tutor. I enjoy helping students prepare for standardized tests, as these tests require not only knowledge, but quick thinking and strong decision making skills. During my free...

...It's a wonderful job because it makes me a permanent student of the world, but I miss interacting with young students. I love teaching because I love learning, and I want to help other people find that same love of learning that I had growing up, because that guides me through life. I especially enjoy teaching writing and math. I'm sure this is heavily influenced by the fact that I learned those skills from two...

...were often different than mine and perspectives that I had never considered before clouded my mind. Pausing to rethink my own perspectives made me realize how much deeper I could go into the subject matter, pushing me to challenge my students equally. I currently tutor math and computer science as part of the GUTS program, and analyzing different solutions to the same problem help me understand people better as I get some insight into their...

...My favorite subject to tutor is probably calculus because calculus really opens students' options for further exploration in math, science, economics, and pretty much every other STEM field. When it comes to tutoring, I believe that in order to give useful feedback to a student I need to observe and listen to them just as much they need to listen to me. Only then can I see what they need help understanding and how best...

I connect with people best through sharing ideas. The majority of my spare time is spent trying to simplify or find alternate proofs of basic theorems to make them more intuitive.... Focusing on beauty solves many problems a teacher faces. If I am attending a lecture about The Great Gatsby, I will be eager if the speaker tells of the beauty she sees, rather than a quick and dirty type of analysis. I regularly talk to...

...field hockey team in Madison. I am a HUGE pet lover as I have a dog of my own. I tutor mathematics for all levels up to Calculus. I have always enjoyed math since I was in elementary school and I love helping others out. One of the best feelings in the world is seeing a student finally understand a subject or a concept after a lot of hard work. I believe anything is possible...

...capable. Many times this involves more than tutoring. Lending an ear, hearing out problems and challenges are all parts of helping a student succeed. I believe in open communication and flexibility. I am able to tutor in math up to Algebra I. I have very strong basic math skills, understand Common Core math, and am able to not only teach the mechanics of how something is solved, but why it is that way as well....

...(TA), where I helped engineering students grapple with complex math and physics problems. However, much of my teaching method revolves around developing a solid base for learning in order to build confidence and strategies for tackling even the most difficult problems. In my experience, once these subjects seem less intimidating, success and even enjoyment follow. I am able to tutor math from elementary level algebra and geometry to college level calculus, differential equations, and physics....

...correct answers on problems rather than telling them what to do or what the answer is right away. I believe that students learn best when the teacher is a guide and thus my teaching philosophy relies on guiding the students in the right direction by asking them questions that explore the content. I have just completed a master's in teaching, elementary education. I am passionate about teaching and my favorite subjects to tutor are English...

...a lot of math classes and I have learned many different methods of teaching various concepts. Sometimes students that are struggling just need the material to be presented in a different way. My tutoring style is entirely dependent on each student's learning style. I usually start by trying to find out what they are struggling the most and adjust the way I present the material from there. I often like to ensure that the student...

...in tutoring students from middle school to graduate-level in a variety of math subjects. Helping young people understand mathematical and computer science related subjects is very exciting to me! My favorite subjects to tutor are all levels of Calculus, Algebra, and Discrete Math - although I do not have any limitations as to the areas outside of my favorites! My philosophy in tutoring is not just getting the student to answer a specific question, but...

...to pursue. I've been a high school physics teacher for the past 15 years, and also a strong advocate for equity in science education. I received my undergraduate degree in Physics from Amherst College, and later a masters degree in Science and Math Education from UC Berkeley. While I've always had an interest in science, I've come to see myself as someone who teaches *people* rather than *science*. That is, I really enjoy helping students...

...of New Mexico. I have taught lab courses in introductory physics and tutored college and high school students in physics and math. I am interested in making physics and math relatable to people who are not naturally adept at it. I have taken the SAT, the general GRE and the physics GRE subject tests. I also play trumpet and have studied music theory in music camps and AP music theory so I can tutor music...

I have a lot of experience teaching & tutoring and have completed a wide variety of standardized test with excellent scores.... Start by trying to achieve a broad understanding and refining it as needed.... Introduce myself, meet the student, and identify areas of strength and weakness.... Short breaks, fun problems.... Ask leading questions until the student understands, and then try to build a deeper understanding.... Try to make the passage seem more approachable or put it...

...Arts in History from Thomas Edison State University. I received many of my college credits from taking CLEP and DSST tests allowing me to graduate with a degree by the time I was eighteen. For completing my degree in this way, I received the Arnold Fletcher Award, an award for students with exceptional achievement in nontraditional learning. While studying at Thomas Edison I also had the opportunity and privilege to help coach a speech and...

I have over five years of teaching and tutoring experience, having worked with children as young as eight exploring circuits for the first time, middle schoolers needing help with written and verbal skills, university students struggling with organic chemistry, and adults brushing up on algebra and biology as they go back to school. I strive to make a positive impact on my students' grade, confidence, and understanding through a calm...
