Award-Winning Math Tutors for Students in Raleigh-Durham, NC

...especially when it can seem confusing and intimidating. I love activating students' natural curiosity and inquiry, and using that to build confidence in and mastery of a wide variety of academic topics. I graduated from Yale University with a double major in Environmental Studies and International Studies, and I love the way science and real-world issues can interact. Part of my interest in the environment comes from my love of being outdoors, and I am...

...of applying to colleges and graduate programs can be very stressful at times, so if I can help you feel prepared to do your best, I would love to do so! That being said, I enjoy working with all ages and as I am a Liberal Arts person at heart, my favorite academic subjects are psychology, history, and any English class that gives me an excuse to reread a Jane Austen novel. Though I do...

...one of my biggest passion is using CAD software to design prosthetic implants. I have been a math tutor since my sophomore year in high school, and it has always been so rewarding to help students understand material, from learning how to use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculating integrals. Being an engineer, I personally know the difference between what a good/bad teacher can provide to a student's learning experience. I aim to understand the student's...

...it. Education has opened up so many doors for me, and this is largely because I was fortunate to have some amazing teachers growing up who made learning fun (or at the very least not miserable). My goal is to do the same for each one of the students who I work with, and find ways to make even the most abstract concepts or complex math problems "click" in a student's mind.... Individualization is key. Find...

...my goal is to understand the level the students are currently at, and how best to help them advance to higher levels. My lesson plans usually consist of worksheets and projects that focus on the area that is challenging for the students. I also sometimes allow the students to work independently in order to gauge their progress. I feel that this method provides confidence in their ability to complete the assignment. I will be as...

...the tuba. I have a passion for volunteering and nonprofit organizations, and have spent much time with one nonprofit in particular, Habitat for Humanity, both in the office setting and on build sites as well. I enjoy biking and running, as well as spending time in the mountains. My friends would describe me as friendly and goofy, as I never give up the opportunity to reference random Youtube videos in every day conversations, and revel...

...a difference in students lives. I love knowing that I made a difference to someone, even if it's just one person. My favorite moment is the lightbulb moment; when someone gets what you have been trying to explain! I have been a long term substitute and will begin teaching in the fall. I am a certified elementary teacher. I have worked with students of all ages, but love working with elementary students!... I believe that all...

...a refugee home in Berlin. It's been an amazing journey ever since! Between teaching 4th grade and solely instructing an accredited freshman-level sociology course at Rutgers University during my senior year of college, I've been fortunate enough to help students adequately connect with the necessary material (school work, prep courses, etc) in ways that suit their maturity level, learning style and personal needs. You can count on me to be patient and understanding, while still...

...best he or she can be -- to work out that brain muscle! I'm there to challenge, motivate, and engage each student. Subjects I tutor include elementary and middle school science; elementary through high school math (through algebra, trigonometry, and geometry); elementary through high school history and social studies; and elementary through high school English. I enjoy tutoring all subjects, but I have a particular affinity for English, history, and social studies. I enjoy reading...

I tutor kids of all ages, and specialize in those with ADD/ADHD, Dyslexia, Asperger's and Autism Spectrum Disorder, as well as those with emotional and cognitive disorders. My preferred subjects are test preparation (SAT, ACT, GRE, etc.), Math, Science, and English. ... I think it's very important that I relate to students on a personal level so they truly understand that I want them to do well. Once that bond is made, we can work together...

I started tutoring fellow students when I was in high school. When I got to Duke, I had the opportunity to tutor at a local middle school. I have tutored a variety of subjects, but my favorite subject to tutor is math because of how much I enjoy it. I think that a tutor's enjoyment for a subject can directly impact how the student feels about it. If I can help a student become less...

Throughout my journey as a tutor, I have learned and valued the differences between each...

...and learning strategies while rebuilding confidence. I love to teach just as much as I love to learn. I truly believe where there's a will, there's a way, and hopefully an "A"! If you really want to understand the "why" and not just the "what will be on the test," then I'm your gal. Apart from academia, I have been a fitness instructor for 20 years, and also enjoy Latin dancing, cooking, and multicultural experiences.

...Economics Department for the past 2 years and have loved helping business students through their required Statistics class! My tutoring style puts heavy emphasis on trying not to make a student feel like they are working with a tutor, but with another student in a study session. While it is important to come to a teacher/tutor for help if one has questions, it is even more important to get to the point of figuring problems...
