Award-Winning Tutors serving Montgomery County, PA

...do a math problem, but not everyone can help explain it in such a way that you understand it and can apply the knowledge to future problems. The second important ingredient to successful learning is a positive attitude by the student. When tackling tough math problems, many students begin to feel overwhelmed by the material. I make sure to teach the material at a level the student can understand before progressing to more difficult problems....

...writing since 2014. I truly enjoy discussing syntax, content, and structure, not only because I may impart my own knowledge and experience, but because I may learn from the incredible diversity and uniqueness with which people approach language. I believe tutoring is mutual, and I am excited to work with as many different students as possible. I enjoy novel writing, playing guitar and piano, programming, playing RPGs (I'm a big Final Fantasy fan), and meeting...

...of the application process. Given the substantial weight of the LSAT in the admissions process, however, I am particularly passionate about helping students master this test. I know from personal experience that the LSAT can be frustrating, but I will help students to break down each section and minimize the test's intimidation factor. With patience, repetition, and an understanding of how the test writers think, the LSAT can become predictable and even enjoyable. I want...

...student. I would incorporate connections to the your interests, teach to the your strengths, and make learning a really fun experience! Learning language can seem like a long task, but I like to set goals and use weekly agenda to improve your general study skills over a short amount of time! I also assign movies and fun videos to watch in Chinese. It is the most spoken language in the world, therefore, having this extra...

...is a hobby of mine. My philosophy is that even when we are preparing for a standardized exam, we should always be relating the work to your passions, pursuits, and educational goals to make the work that much more meaningful. In my spare time, you'll often find me learning bits of new languages for fun or writing. I am currently fluent in English and French, conversational in Spanish and Mandarin Chinese, and can read some...

...film studies and related fields. I firmly believe that self-confidence, far more than ambition or natural aptitude, is the greatest determinant of success in an academic setting. By "confidence" I mean not only confidence in ones mastery of topical material, but, more fundamentally, confidence in ones ability to learn and think independently. As an instructor, I am dedicated to helping students succeed because I know from my own experiences as a student that, at every...

...in chemistry. I am currently taking a year off between hopefully matriculating into medical school fall of 2016. I have done extensive coursework in biology, physics, chemistry, biochemistry, trigonometry, calculus, psychology, sociology, and lab sciences. I have also recently taken the new MCAT and believe that I can teach my tools for success to any pre-student willing to learn them. I have been a teaching assistant for both General Chemistry I and II for two...

...attended Wesleyan University and then decided after college to pursue medicine, completing a one year post-baccalaureate premedical program at Bryn Mawr College. Having personally undergone the transition from a humanities to a science student, I feel passionately that the sciences can be learned by any student, even those for whom it might feel a little more challenging. Working as a tutor for biology, organic chemistry, general chemistry, and neuroscience, I actively implemented this philosophy, finding...

I am looking to help students understand and learn whatever materials they are having trouble with. I have tutored for roughly 2 years while I was in high school. I'm currently in my third year of studying Biomedical Engineering at Drexel University. I would like to aid students in any way possible.... I teach students through examples and problem solving.... I would ask the student to go over what topics he/she needs help on. I would...

...I have experience tutoring and instructing chemistry laboratory to undergraduate students during my years at USci. I am currently tutoring several high school students in various subjects, and science is always my strong area. Being grateful to my parents for their continuous support for my education, I believe that education is the only way to advance in life. Education does not only include the accumulation of knowledge but also the application of what you have...

...a ton of passion when it comes to teaching either Math or Econ and I always try my best to make sure people understand their problems fully. My first official experience tutoring was in college where I was part of a tutoring program at my culture center where I worked. I would go to local Piscataway and Charter Schools to tutor mathematics ranging from grades 6-12. I'm really confident in tutoring any kind of mathematics...

...been involved in peer tutoring all throughout high school and am currently also a tutor with the West Philadelphia Tutoring Project. I have found that tutoring is such a fulfilling way to help others succeed while learning new information myself. It also allows me to build new and lasting relationships with those I work with, which is something I have come to value. Outside of school/work, I enjoy dancing, reading, listening to music, and hanging...

...graduating from medical school at Rutgers RWJMS in 2020 and starting residency in Internal Medicine. I'm also a graduate of Columbia University with a BA in biology. I've always been interested in a wide range of subjects in school and love to encourage students to be enthusiastic about learning too. I often find that anxiety or fear are the first barriers to overcome in learning challenges. After that, hard work and lots of practice can...

...A typical first time tutoring session would begin with me assessing where you are as a student in the topic at hand, asking you what you want out of our sessions (and me suiting your need to that desire as much as possible), and beginning a lesson plan. My SAT tutoring is split into 3 sections; the student takes home each part of a practice test and completes it, and once our session begins we...

...I was the Music Director of an a cappella group at Tufts for two years and gained experience working with students one-on-one to teach difficult passages and sections of songs. I currently am a Music teacher at a local Sunday school in Somerville, and enjoy working with children and young adults of all ages. I have taken the LSAT and tutor the entire test, though I feel particularly strong about the Logic Games and Logical...

...For example, a student working on trigonometry cannot effectively understand cotangents or complex trig inequalities until he/she is comfortable manipulating the sin, cos and tangent functions. I approach ACT test prep with a similar notion: in order to succeed the student must understand how the test wants you to err and have a strategy for dealing with each type of question. In all subject matter, my goal is to build an understanding that is intuitive...

...career in investment accounting in order to complete my degree and teach English to adults. As part of an internship at Temple I am currently teaching an ESL evening class of six students at DCLC until July, 2015. As one can tell from my years of study, I am grounded in the old-fashioned instruction of English grammar and composition. This contributes to my tutoring success because I understand the basics that support a platform of...

...each year. This past summer I had the opportunity to travel to both Spain and Italy and enhance my life through learning about the similarities and differences within the European culture. When I am not able to travel, I like to enrich my life by reading novels, participating in 5K runs and cheering on my favorite sports teams. My teaching style reflects my desire to be a life long learner. I believe that you can...

...help you learn, not to be your drill sergeant! That being said, I do have high expectations for my students, because you should hold yourself to high standards if you want to improve your skills. Outside of instruction/studies, I played basketball in high-school, although ultimately other interests took over and I never pursued hoops on the college level; however, I still enjoy playing several days a week. I'm also a musician/engineer playing in several bands...

I am an avid Yankees, Football Giants, Knicks, Saint Joseph's University, and Siena College basketball fan.
