Certified Algebra 2 Tutor in Palo Alto, CA
...a student receiving tutoring has taught me and helped me a lot in being a successful tutor. In my opinion, the most important part of tutoring is understanding each individual's needs and learning methods. Everyone is different and to be a successful tutor, you cannot apply the same teaching methods to every student. Understanding how quickly students learn, what types of strengths they have, and their motivations for receiving tutoring is key to helping a...

Mei: Palo Alto Algebra 2 tutor
Certified Algebra 2 Tutor in Palo Alto, CA
...Answers are good, but repeatable problem solving skills are better. Doing practice tests is good, but focusing on the troublesome problems is better. Simply - knowledge is good, but intelligence is better. My favorite subject matter to tutor is SAT prep (especially math). The best part about the SAT is there are no surprises. Although the questions are "different", they never really "change". What this means is that even a child who regularly struggles at...

I have had the opportunity to communicate through difficult concepts with them, evaluate methods, and test approaches occasionally with my own...

Josh: Palo Alto Algebra 2 tutor
Certified Algebra 2 Tutor in Palo Alto, CA
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.

As such, I foster an open environment where all mathematical questions and concerns are welcome and I always...
