Award-Winning Algebra 2 Tutors serving Raleigh-Durham, NC

...the past five years. My greatest passion is making science accessible, especially when it can seem confusing and intimidating. I love activating students' natural curiosity and inquiry, and using that to build confidence in and mastery of a wide variety of academic topics. I graduated from Yale University with a double major in Environmental Studies and International Studies, and I love the way science and real-world issues can interact. Part of my interest in the...

...know the difference between what a good/bad teacher can provide to a student's learning experience. I aim to understand the student's learning style and altering my methods for each student's needs. I do my very best to not only help students reach the right answer but to make sure they completely understand the subject at hand. It is important to me that students enjoy the learning process, so I aim to make tutoring sessions both...

...test preparation the most. I love helping my students find beauty in the English language in addition to helping them achieve their college goals. I also love working with students on their college essays because that's when I feel I get to know my students the best, as we talk through dreams, aspirations, and life experiences. I view education as a skill; education is not around to help us learn specific things, but rather education...

...with colloquialisms and grammar. Languages and linguistics are fascinating to me and I don't get to speak mine enough, so please speak them with me! My physics background, as well as my years of teaching, means I know a disturbing amount of math (through advanced calculus). Yet, I've also been reading since I was old enough to hold a flashlight (my eyes don't thank me), so if you need help with following any sort of...

...students achieve their potential and dramatically improve their grades and test scores. Seeing the students I have worked with succeed provides me with tremendous satisfaction and drives me to continue tutoring. I specialize in tutoring for standardized tests, including the MCAT, GRE, SAT, and ACT, and have scored in the 99th percentile on the MCAT, SAT, and ACT. I also tutor the sciences and can cover all science topics up to advanced college-level chemistry and...

...a teacher/tutor for help if one has questions, it is even more important to get to the point of figuring problems out in your own way. There are garden variety formulas, equations, variables, etc. in Mathematics and Statistics that may call for "memorization", but it is of utmost importance that a learner be able to use their own reasoning to work through problems. For me, it is important that I communicate problems in real-world context...

...both the high school and undergraduate level. I really enjoy tutoring, especially chemistry, in that it allows me to interact closely with students to be better able to understand exactly where they might be having issues, which allows me to better assist them in mastering their subject. Outside of work and tutoring, I enjoy reading, going to concerts, and spending as much time as possible with my family often times outdoors hiking and camping.

...After all, not only have I learned the material once but I have also observed multiple people learn the same material. In addition, through my research experience I have implemented the classroom lessons into real life problems. I enjoy incorporating my research into my teaching/tutoring. I can draw from experiences of commonly misunderstood concepts that cannot be gained from a textbook or other interactive learning modules. Not to say there isn't value in those activities because...

...the University of Rochester. I'm interested in tutoring students in mathematics and/or computer science, as I enjoy both subjects thoroughly, and think that a good understanding of those subjects is useful to anyone, no matter their interests. I also do tutoring for AP/IB exams, SAT, and ACT because I think it's critically important for people to get into the best college they can for as cheap as possible, and those exams are the basis of...

...Administration from Pfeiffer University, and am currently working on a second Bachelors of Science in Nursing at Lenoir-Rhyne University. I completely understand the pressures of maintaining good grades with extracurricular activities, trying to stay competitive for college or graduate school, and even having to study within time-constraints from having to juggle a full-time job. I know first-hand how demoralizing making sub-par grades can be, but also the triumph of learning how to redirect focus and...

...in North Carolina for six years. I worked as a fifth grade teacher's assistant in Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools, did my student teaching in Wake County Schools, and taught Family and Consumer Sciences at the middle school level in Orange County Schools. I hold a Master of Arts in Teaching degree in Elementary Education from Meredith College and am certified in the areas of: Elementary Education K-6, ESL K-12, Middle Grades Mathematics 6-8, and Family...

...that "studying harder" is not always the answer. With each student, I focus first on organization: what we need to cover and a timeline to get to their goal. I'm a physician assistant student at Duke and hope to become a clinic director some day. In spare time outside of school , I write, play music, and kick it with friends. Most recently, I spent about a year in Peru and Ecuador working at a...

...idle. Instead, I prefer to plant good seeds into the lives of others. Further, I have discovered that I not only love to teach but that I am quite good at it. While I am doing quite a bit of private tutoring on my own, I am now looking for ways to expand my reach. Accordingly, your organization may be a good fit with my skills and abilities. Note that I do not intend to...

...engineering. I really enjoy math and science and I am eager to help other students in related subjects. In my free time, I like to run, play basketball, spend time at the shore, and cook. While I was a student at Duke, I worked as a student manager for the Women's Basketball team. I also completed a couple years of research in the Human Movement Performance Lab where I analyzed patient's walking patterns both pre-...

...teaching economics and finance, as well as topics in math, statistics, business administration, and standardized testing including several of the Series Exams. My teaching philosophy begins with understanding a student's goals and helping them achieve success both inside and outside of the classroom. I can use elements of a student's background to relate complex subjects in a way that is more familiar with the student. Outside of work, I am an avid sports fan, lover...

...frustrated with a subjects concepts, learn how to stay organized and keep up with their work, I know I have done my job well. I personally love to learn and even after having graduated, I am constantly looking for opportunities to learn new things. Additionally, in my spare time I enjoy reading, board games, and rock climbing. I am excited to work as a tutor once again in order to give students a chance to...

...Carolina, majoring in political science and European studies. I am passionate about teaching, because I recognize that many of the opportunities I am lucky enough to have had are because of what I have learned from my own teachers! I love to travel, and have worked in Casablanca and Cape Town. I am fluent in both English and French, and learning Russian! I especially like teaching French, Algebra, and Test Prep, because I think these...
