...learner, and then I tutor accordingly. I am currently a junior at Brigham Young University. I am an Applied & Computational Mathematics major with a concentration in Electrical and Computer Engineering: Circuits. I have earned the high in many of my math and physics courses. In addition, I placed third in my university's undergraduate math...

...physics. I love seeing my students have a "light-bulb" moment where suddenly everything we discussed makes sense to them. I think it is extremely important for everyone to have (at least) a basic understanding of math and science as this helps us to better understand our world. I am greatly motivated to teach in a...

...too late to catch up. My goal is to work together to pick up the pieces that were lost or are close, but not quite there: learning the way you want to learn and the way you learn best rather than having topics taught at you. For standardized testing: I have taken the special classes...

...studying Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Management. I love understanding how everything works and that is one of my biggest motivators in school and learning in general.

Given the right goals and assistance, I truly believe...

...thoughts into coherent arguments and can even help us understand things more clearly. Math teaches critical thinking, but also persistence and creativity. What is most important to me, however, is that students feel confident enough to keep trying until they succeed. Teaching 7th grade math opened my eyes to the lack of confidence students often...

...connect well with their students. That is why I strive to teach my students by the principal I learned from Alfred Mercier "What we learn with pleasure we never forget". I learned this first hand as I lived in South America for two years. It was a lot easier to learn Spanish when I could...

I tutor many subjects, but am especially proficient in the areas of test preparation, math, and Spanish. I took several AP classes, was on the honor...

...Calculus teacher explained a complicated mathematical concept in terms that my literary side understood. She taught me that all subjects are understandable when they relate to information you already have. I have adopted this teaching strategy and focus on explaining concepts based on subjects that students have already mastered. I believe the best way to...

...our way. Every class I take has become a time where I can increase my knowledge and perform even better. Although I have graduated from high school as valedictorian, I still look for opportunities to grow and help those around me. I am still finding new interests and building who I am. Right now I...

...am currently working towards a Bioengineering degree at the University of Utah. I've always loved math and I'm great at helping students make sense of new or difficult concepts. As a tutor, I am careful to make sure that students are able to do problems on their own, without relying too heavily on memorization. Outside...

...and writers, that effective and powerful writing comes from the authenticity in the author's voice. I have worked with many different members of my community to help refine the process of communicating authentically, and to help preserve, empower, and make known the voice of marginalized or underrepresented groups of individuals. There is a profound lesson...

...learning new subjects, hiking in the mountains, swimming, water polo, music, and traveling. My experience in teaching and mentoring has taken many different forms over the years. I have taught Advanced Wilderness Medicine techniques to physicians in the Netherlands, educated Kenyan villagers about proper self-care and hygiene, taught water polo as head coach of the...

...the school system work for me, while managing my mental health. My favorite subjects to tutor are math and physics, in large part because I find them fascinating, but also because most people find them harder, so it means more when they understand it. Outside of school, I love playing board games and card games...

...science. Although I consider myself more STEM based, I am also strong in History and English and have taken and passed AP tests in both those areas. Outside of academics, I enjoy playing guitar and piano, reading books, weight lifting and fitness training, and relaxing with friends and family. I value education to the highest...

...BS and MS in geology, pre-medical courses, and medical school, I have over 10 years of real life experience studying science, honing my study habits, and test-taking strategies.

...educator of all ages. I taught mathematics in public and private high school. I love to teach the ABC's, but I also love advanced science and math. I love learning and hope to inspire that love in others. I look forward to helping children and adults of all ages discover their "aha" moments.

...and a BA in economics from Brigham Young University. I am originally from Accra-Ghana in Sub-saharan Africa. I love to dance. I like to travel and meet new people and cultures.
