Award-Winning Math Tutors for Students in Seattle, WA

...the fall of 2014. I have tutored many subjects so far but by far my favorite subject is History. I have found that by examining what humans have done we can come closer to understanding what we are. My mother is a high school science teacher, and ever since 9th grade I have been tutoring, although my interests shifted quite frequently. In college, I was able to both study and tutor Politics and History in...

...subjects (including reading and writing for test prep) are especially fun for me. (Though I am very comfortable teaching math as well). I spent my junior year abroad: first in Montpellier, France, studying French literature and art history, then at the University of Cambridge, studying Shakespeare! I love to travel, and hope to do more of it in the future. I also enjoy helping students with their French language learning goals, so that they can...

I've taught math for nine years, and I love what I do. The best part of my day is when my students are experiencing success and confidence in their math skills. I've taught Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Precalculus, and Calculus. Trigonometry has always been a solid part of my Algebra 2 and Precalculus classes. Many students have said they understand math after I've explained it. My goal is to help my students reach...

...and laugh with as I make Shakespeare fun and VALID for the times. I started tutoring in college, and I also worked in publishing creating a lot of the material you see on practice tests and various educational workbooks, textbooks, and media. I recently moved from NYC as I worked in the NYC Deptartment of Education as an English teacher and Social Studies teacher. The students I have worked with in the past are Gifted...

...a passion that I enjoy sharing. Math is the way we describe what we discover with science. I have been a substitute teacher for all grades and all subjects in a rural district, then later worked in a maximum security Juvenile Rehabilitation facility. There, I worked at aiding teachers and individually tutoring students that had to be temporarily separated from the rest of the population. Throughout, I have maintained a steady and patient demeanor that...

I have my bachelor's degree in Mathematical Sciences from the United States Military Academy. I was accepted in the Pi Mu Epsilon National Honorary Mathematics Society New York Alpha Zeta Chapter while in college. I make a great tutor because I have experience leading others from my experience at West Point, also known as the United States Military Academy. It taught me patience and how to interact with diverse personalities. I also graduated this year,...

...my students develop independent study skills that will support them through life. What this means is building up the analytical skills that they will need to prepare and study for assignments and tests when they're going to go to college. There's only so much one can do in teaching the content that we also need to teach our students how they can become their own teachers and succeed on their own. Hence, I want my...

...that that needs to be explored. Always be seeking, improving, and wondering. I have taught middle school for 17 years and try to pass on my love of learning to each and everyone of my students. I believe all students can be successful learners, although they may learn best in a wide variety of ways. When a student gets it, I get excited. I always do everything I can to make my students experience success....

...courses. At UW, I have taken the General Chemistry series, the General Biology series, Honors Organic Chemistry, Calculus I & II, and various Public and Environmental Health courses. In addition to these courses, I am also trained as an EMT-B and volunteer at Roots homeless shelter. I have experience as a Boys and Girls Club tutor as well as a high school tutor in Anatomy and Physiology, Biology, Chemistry, and Math. High quality education is...

...wants to "challenge" the students by making things are hard as possible. The second type helps the student really "understand" the subject by making it as easy, and clear, and straight forward as possible. I always try to be the second type. My goal is that every student will get a 100% on every test. I taught economics and statistics at the college and university level for twenty years. I then moved to the US...

As a premed student with a major in philosophy and a minor in mathematics at the University of Washington, I was fortunate to be exposed to very different learning and teaching styles. I also learned to appreciate that very smart people can think in very different ways from each other and that people who are outstanding at some subjects inevitably need help with others. I always bring this insight to bear on tutoring, where I...

I have four years experience tutoring middle and high school age students, particularly in math and English, in the Los Angeles area. I am patient and understanding, and my goal is to foster a comfortable environment and mutual respect. I make sure that the students I work with know they are important and capable, because I have found that they are most willing to engage and put in effort when such a relationship exists between...

...of my time in graduate school and immerse myself in my classes, the university, and the city. Previously, I graduated from Tufts University with a Bachelor of Science in both Environmental Studies and Geology. I am a PADI certified Divemaster and I’ve been scuba diving all over the world. I have spent time working with special needs children and doing scientific research in labs and in the field. Throughout my education I have been a...

...tools. As a tutor, students sought out my services to help understand key concepts, homework practice problems, exams, and lab write-ups. My experience tutoring a diverse group of Chemistry students allows me to know where the difficulties lie, where students typically fall behind, and the pitfalls that creep up on exams. My tutoring style deconstructs concepts in a way that students can personally relate to, and by using visual analogies, I demystify the math between...

...science but math, writing, English, and other various social studies. Furthermore, I have experience tutoring and laboratory assisting, both of which involved guiding peers to a greater understanding of course material and eventually success. Science is my favorite subject, sounds broad but it is true, I have honestly enjoyed all my science classes. From general biology, to genetics, from ecology, to biostatistics, I like it all. Science is amazing because it is so experimental and...

...State University. I first started teaching while at the University of Florida. While attending UF I taught SCUBA classes to my fellow students. Later I went on to teach adults at a private dive school. Throughout my career I have taught seasonal staff up to CFO's various accounting and finance skills. While attending Montana State University I was selected to be a graduate teaching assistant, where I kept office hours for all accounting courses. During...

...have 4 years of classroom teaching experience in the Seattle School District. During my time in the classroom I taught 7th & 8th Grade English Language Arts, US/World History,and 8th grade Algebra support. In the classroom I focused on individual one on one instruction and took time to understand the strengths and weakness of every student. I believe in a collaborate learning environment and understand that all students learn in different ways. It is important...

...they do not need to look to anyone else for answers. I tutor a range of subjects, but I especially enjoy teaching middle school math and SAT prep. I have a strong grasp of the approaches necessary to succeed in those areas. It is fun to share those approaches with students and watch the AHA! moments unfold. Why do I teach? Successful learning requires awareness of HOW you think: how you create and organize your...

...as it helped me interact with many students from different majors. During my second year as a tutor, I was promoted to the lead math tutor position. As a lead tutor, I trained incoming math tutors as well as helped my supervisor plan the different tutor meetings. My experience as a tutor has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Students often gave me positive feedback on my tutoring techniques, and I've...

...but he showed me that with a little faith and hard work anything was possible. As he did for me, I started teaching my fellow classmates and conducting study groups to demonstrate that all new subjects are difficult but are possible to be learned with patience and a positive attitude. Today I attend Grand Canyon University majoring in Psychology, I have been on the Deans list for a year and will be graduating at the...
