Award-Winning Pre-Calculus Tutors serving Vacaville, CA

...Mathematics is important not just because of its endless application and its role as the foundation of the sciences, but because the problem solving strategies and intellectual tool set required in learning math are supremely advantageous to every field of academic and professional life. It is a pleasure to help young minds acquire these skills and very fulfilling to watch a student go from 'I don't understand, and I hate this' to 'I get this!...

...I also understood the struggles of understanding math. Along with math, Physics and Biology have always been my forte. I think physics helps us understand how the universe functions in our day to day lives. Something as simple as pushing the door, driving a car at a certain speed, or playing with yo-yo could be explained using physics. I also love biology. Once you understand the gist of biological processes, which occur daily, you can't...

...math teacher for 10 years; I love math and I love teaching! I totally get it: for most people, the end-goal of studying math isn't to become a mathematician or to fall deeply in love with division and derivatives. For most people, math is just a tool that they need to use (or study) to achieve a goal (becoming a doctor) or to accomplish a task (figuring out how much paint you need to paint...

...profession and a writer by habit. I have over three years of teaching experience at private tutoring companies, UC Berkeley, UC Berkeley's Summer Bridge Program, and as a freelance political science/calculus tutor (there's more overlap than you think). In 2014, my paper "Set Theory and Fuzzy Sets: Their Relationship to Natural Language" was published in the Newsletter of the American Political Science Association Organized Section for Qualitative and Multi-Method Research. I'm fond of good food...

...ski, though I seldom go. I love to travel. I love to go on bike rides with friends, or sometimes just grab a book and go explore the Berkeley hills on my own. I'll sit on a tree stump and watch the sun go down and squint to see the print in my book. Oh - more than anything, I love a good conversation with a friend. But a good conversation with anyone is a...

...(Class of 2014) while also completing the pre med requirements there. At UCLA, I took the full General and Organic Chem series with labs, Life Science Physics including labs, Calculus, Biology including labs, and completed an honors thesis for the political science department. I took one gap year between UCLA and medical school where I worked in a Neuroscience and Biophysics Research Lab while TAing (teaching assistant) for several biology courses including LS 2, LS...

...elementary and advanced English, but my favorite subjects to tutor are essay editing, writing or verbal skills, advanced mathematics or science. I like to bring enthusiasm to my lessons, as well as a variety of methods to help provide students with understanding. If you are having trouble with the explanations from the teachers, I can help! Oftentimes, we understand better if we hear things in a different way. Above all else, tutoring should never be...

...to help them succeed in school. Tutoring for me is comparable to engineering. I love both because I love to solve problems. I hope to teach students to be unafraid of solving problems as well. I tutor Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Trigonometry and Calculus. My favorite subject to tutor is Algebra 1. I like Algebra 1 because that is the beginning of solving equations and I believe that a solid understanding of Algebra 1 is...

My favorite word is "why." And why is that, you may ask? Well, I am subject to a never-ending flow of knowledge because I perpetually wonder why. The search for answers to any question beginning with "why" has taught me everything I know -- and put me in a position to disseminate my knowledge to other people. Tutoring is the best possible way for me to do that.

...For five summers I worked with far below and below basic students to get them back up to speed in time for the coming school year. Additionally, while attending USC I worked with inner-city children to pass on my engineering knowledge with the Iridescent Learning program. There I designed lesson plans that would explore the wonders of engineering and each lesson culminated in a hands of building challenge of my own design. With all this...

...laude from a mechanical engineering program on a full scholarship, I didn't always like math and science. It can take a lot of effort to "click" with these kinds of subjects, but once you do, it's a surprisingly rewarding experience. (Yes, I am a huge nerd now. See photo.) You just need to break down the problems, recognize patterns, and apply the concepts. So if you're just required to take a math course and you're...

...University of California Santa Barbara with a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology. I am applying to medical school this year. I have tutored fellow classmates throughout college in a variety of subjects; I have tutored biology, physics, math, history, chemistry, and ecology. My teaching method is to make complex ideas more relative to simple concepts and everyday life. I believe that making connections to concepts while learning is the easiest way to grasp a...

...I have tutored students in grades 3-12 and lead study groups with my college peers at U.C. Berkeley and U.C. Davis. I did not have the opportunity to have a tutor myself, which made me realize how great an advantage it is to have that kind of support and resource. I am dedicated to helping students succeed in their courses as well as gain an understanding of the concepts and material. It is not enough...

...a variety of disciplines as needed. I plan to continue substitute teaching in the 2015-2016 school year in the San Francisco Bay Area. While my teaching certification is in instrumental music, my primary interest in tutoring is high school core subjects like math and English. I believe these fundamental subjects are the basis of effective thought and communication that set students up for future success. My goal is to guide students to find their own...

...and master's degree in Statistics, and I have worked in a variety of roles at big companies as a data analyst, and statistician. My goal is to provide students with top quality tutoring by being attentive to their needs, and working as a team towards finding solutions. My teaching philosophy is to identify and strengthen areas of weakness, and encourage dedication to learning math because I firmly believe anyone can learn math! My hobbies are...

...I will be expanding that to include Computer Science, Chemistry, and Physics. My students tend to be pretty successful because I'm easy to get along with; I'm friendly and easygoing. I understand that school can be difficult and stressful - I've been there, and lived it, and been on both sides of the tutor/student relationship. I will move at your pace, and when you're having difficulty I can be the resource you need to make...

I am currently working as a tutor in Computer Science and Mathematics at American River College. I am also a father of two, with one on the way!

...from UCLA, majoring in psychology. I spent three years as a high school math teacher and basketball coach in Washington D.C. Before that, I spent four years as a sportswriter and columnist in Los Angeles. I have worked with students of all ages from kindergarten to adulthood and am a staunch believer that it is never too late to fall in love with learning any subject (even math!). My approach to tutoring is the same...

...at UC Berkeley, expecting to graduate next spring with a degree in Engineering Physics. Since I began tutoring, it has always been my philosophy to make sure the student understands a subject by breaking down concepts in the easiest way. My passion for the sciences drives me to not only teach what is on paper, but offer deeper insights to the material. I also love to laugh, and because of that, I try to make...

...of the classroom to reach successful academic goals. I believe having a strong foundation in education is important for future success in our careers and relationships. As a STEM major, I have focused on tutoring in math and sciences as I enjoy working through problems with my students in an engaging manner and finding which methods work for them. Along with tutoring, I am a licensed EMT and perform clinical oncology research for UCLA. In...
