Kathleen
BA Washington University in St. Louis
1+ Years Tutoring

I am an undergraduate at Washington University, and I grew up in Columbus, Ohio. Math has always been one of my favorite subjects. I love Pre-algebra, Calculus, Linear Algebra and everything in between! I have tutored for about four years and have worked with students of all ages. Most students come to me for Math, but I have also worked with students on SAT and ACT test prep, Statistics and Physics. Everyone learns in a slightly different way, and I love figuring out the best way to teach something to people individually and dig down to what questions they really need to have answered to understand the material. In my spare time, I like to go on long bike rides and explore St. Louis's restaurants. I also love baking, playing with dogs and cats, watching movies with my friends and playing soccer.

John
BA Rockhurst University
1+ Years Tutoring

Scoring a 35 ACT composite required John to dominate the Math section, and he knows which topics carry the most weight — coordinate geometry, trigonometric identities, and logarithm properties show up repeatedly and are where most students leave points on the table. He teaches efficient problem-solving strategies that cut through the section's time pressure, so students spend seconds, not minutes, on questions designed to slow them down.

Evan
BA University
8+ Years Tutoring

I am currently working towards an Aerospace Engineering degree at the University of Colorado, Boulder. In high school, I worked with 5th grade students tutoring math. Beyond that, I was always avaliable to help my classmates learn topics that I may have understood better at the time. Overall, math and science courses are my favorite to help people with because I enjoy those courses myself and think the knowledge is not hard to learn if given the right teacher and enough time. In teaching, I like to understand the level of comprehension the student has first before just going in and telling them what he/she should do. It is more effective to learn how to teach yourself the knowledge than to just be able to regurgitate it onto a test. Other than academics, I like playing basketball, video games, and just hanging out and messing around with friends.

Kristen
BA Rockhurst University
1+ Years Tutoring

Most ACT Math questions test algebra and proportional reasoning that Kristen covers daily as a seventh-grade math and reading teacher — she knows exactly which foundational gaps cause students to stall on problems that should be quick points. Her 33 ACT composite backs up that content knowledge, and her classroom instinct for spotting where a student's thinking derails means practice sessions zero in on the specific skills that move scores rather than reworking material a student already owns.

Like many of my previous students, I struggled to understand concepts that I was being taught and was a terrible test taker. However, I found ways to overcome my obstacles and develop an better intuition for what I was learning. I believe that it is only this intuition and understanding that helps overcome these obstacles. My least favorite thing to see people be discouraged, so with a little bit of guidance and reassurance, I want to show people that they are capable of anything they put their mind to.
