Award-Winning Trigonometry Tutors serving Omaha, NE

I am a senior in college and studying to be a math teacher! Although math is my favorite subject, I used to struggle in my classes.

...in St Paul, and aim to attend graduate school in technology policy. I began tutoring in high school, and have since continued enjoyed helping my peers to see a puzzle in a new light. From four summers as a leadership camp counselor, I have gained confidence working one-on-one with a student to help them consider new perspectives, and from four years of discussion sections in college where I presented solutions to the class I have...

...with unclear teaching methods, which led me to tutor at a young age in my K-12 school, then in college. The cumulative nature of math poses challenges to many students, and I like to find ways to connect the dots to help my students have a better grasp of difficult concepts. While I have tutored a variety of subjects, such as math, economics, chemistry, finance, and linguistics, I now focus on tutoring math, primarily, since...

...sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand...

...college physics. Largely due to my focus on mathematics, my favorite subjects to tutor are within these fields as well: while any opportunity to explain new mathematical concepts to students is a great joy to me, I find that the breakthroughs students experience in calculus and basic algebra (Algebra I or Algebra II) are the most exciting, and those subjects are correspondingly my favorite to tutor. When I'm not tutoring or studying, I'm pretty reliably...

...more of a practical approach and have to work through practice to understand a concept. I’ve also volunteered at Computers4Kids, where I tutored a middle school student. We met every week to create different computer project. I was able to build a bond with my student and teach her how to use a computer properly. I believe these various tutoring experiences have developed in me qualities needed to become a great tutor. I hope to...

...something of an understatement. Math is the most beautiful thing in the universe, and I want open everybody's eyes to this deep and wonderful truth. Math is something to be enjoyed. I believe that while knowing the formulas and procedures is important, memorizing mathematical formulas without appreciating the concepts is akin to memorizing the lines of a Shakespeare play without paying attention to the underlying prose. My strongest subjects are linear algebra and pre-calculus though...

...down big problems, identify the key parts, and then solve them. This same thinking has made me a successful teacher in areas much broader then math and science. By breaking down a problem and identifying key points I believe I can lead any student to academic success. I discovered my love of teaching during my senior year of college. Now I hope that I can take what I am good at (math and science) and...

I'm a 4th year at the University of Chicago, and I love teaching. I'm elated to help others learn and gain confidence in subjects that may not be their strong suit today. Also, I want to give students the tools to succeed in subjects outside of what we directly cover. ... When I teach someone something, I want them to know the material well enough that they feel comfortable teaching it to someone else.... We would...

...student and I can simultaneously improve in a process that never ceases to make us better. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy pretty much any activity that gets me outside, especially if that outside happens to be in the woods or near the beach (I am from Florida after all...). While outside, I usually find myself running (again, in the woods if possible), reading, or attempting to channel my inner-Ron Swanson by building things from...

...which to build further skills and concepts. I have also lived in Germany for a year, and am able to bring world-life experiences into tutoring sessions, so that I can instill in my students a desire to learn more of the German language through a glimpse of what is possible once one has a basis in the language. I also have taken German Diction classes because of my background in vocal performance, and this means...

...goal is to help students become independent, comfortable, and confident in the fields they are studying. I love helping people get to the "aha" moment when they really understand what's being taught. In my experience, one of the most important parts of tutoring is setting clear expectations at the beginning and working toward a common goal. Given the right goals and assistance, I truly believe that anyone can master any of the subjects I teach.

My engineering background has allowed me to take a wide variety of...
