Award-Winning Calculus Tutors serving Kirkland, WA

...high school courses were AP Calculus and AP Physics, and my favorite courses during undergrad were in Moral Philosophy/Ethics. While at OSU I worked as a Peer Tutor for the University, where I tutored mainly Mathematics ranging from Pre-Algebra to Calculus. I enjoy tutoring math the most; however, that may be due to the amount of time I've spent doing so. I would love the opportunity to tutor a student in less-frequently requested subjects like...

...field of mathematics, as many of my teachers didn't spend enough time supporting me and their other students. Only in high school did I grow very interested in math, as my teachers set enough time aside to discuss the material and to further student interest through math's wide-reaching applications. This success follows me through the advanced math classes I have taken such as Calculus and Linear Algebra. Thus, I believe that even one interested, caring...

...mathematics in the hopes that they too might want to further the field themselves one day. As Edward Frenkel said in an interview on the subject of mathematics, "This is the coolest stuff in the worldthat's what it is and yet everyone hates it. Isn't it ironic?" Students are taught mathematics in a way that obscures its true beauty, and it is my hope that I can teach students in a way that encourages them,...

...feel capable of learning and succeeding. I recently graduated magna cum laude from Yale University with a B.S. in Economics and Psychology, and I am currently working towards a MSEd at Johns Hopkins University.

In my spare time, you'll probably find me enjoying an iced coffee, taking...

...of breaking down problems into their bare elements and working from there helps prevent students from shutting down because they have no idea what to do when they see a new problem. While I am here to help students do better in their classes I am also here as a mentor for schooling in general. I am always willing to help out with students who need more help outside of their classes. If there is...

...education here. The prospect of a career in education has appealed to me since I entered college. As an undergraduate at a liberal arts college, I found it easy to establish relationships with professors because they led my discussion and lab sections, much in the way that high school teachers interact with their pupils. This level of involvement between student and teacher appealed to me and I entered the academic training ground of graduate school...

...at it," and discover their own abilities. To this end, I believe in providing explanation in which students develop and share their understanding of mathematics through constant interaction with their instructors and peers, in a safe, respectful, and collegial learning environment in which all students feel included. During teaching or tutoring sessions, I look forward to the opportunity to advise and mentor students from all backgrounds, and to seek out ways to encourage those who...

...Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. I am thrilled to be carrying my love for mathematics into the future in the form of tutoring. There are few things more beautiful or satisfying to me than the way complex equations break down into simple, easily solved calculations. My goal in tutoring is to ease the stress that frequently occurs when a student encounters a difficult problem and to show students how to put equations into terms with...

...study, I understand the value of education in different aspects and cultures. From my experience, also as a business owner who coach younger ones, I was able to boil down what is the utmost important in teaching/learning process. I believe "to learn" is an active verb, which must comes willingly from the learners. That means a teacher's job is not only to help the learners understand the material, but also to create trust and passion,...

...Claremont, CA. I graduated with a major in physics and a minor in computer science. As an undergraduate, I had the chance to study abroad in Granada, Spain, where I was able to not only develop a more in depth understanding of the Spanish language, but have an extended exposure to a new culture and history. I also had numerous opportunities to tutor my peers as an undergraduate. I spend about a year and a...

...and will be returning to the UW to pursue a PharmD degree in 2013. I have been tutoring for six years, both informally and through organizations such as UW and Bellevue College. I like teaching and continue to tutor because I enjoy helping students improve. I believe anyone can learn math and science. I work with my students to help them understand not only how to solve problems, but also the fundamental concepts behind them.

...for the UW-Parkside Tutoring Center for almost four years. This experience has been one of my best, as it helped me interact with many students from different majors. During my second year as a tutor, I was promoted to the lead math tutor position. As a lead tutor, I trained incoming math tutors as well as helped my supervisor plan the different tutor meetings. My experience as a tutor has been one of the most...

...environmental and earth science, but also enjoy teaching math and writing. I most enjoy when those subjects intersect or finding a way for them to intersect depending on the skills of my students. In my opinion, education is not just about the specific details taught but also about the process of learning. Therefore, I try and incorporate experiential education as much as possible in my teaching. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy hiking and exploring the...

My favorite subject to tutor is Chemistry, followed closely by Physics....

...Bus and the Bill Nye show. I majored in Neuroscience and Behavior in college, so I learned a lot about Biology and Psychology, and I plan on getting a Master's in Bioengineering. I spent two years serving with the Peace Corps in Peru, where I learned to speak Spanish, build stoves out of adobe, and a lot about life in rural communities. In my spare time I enjoy playing harp and guitar, learning new languages,...

I found that motivating and helping others to understand material is one of my most rewarding experiences of my college career, and I am excited to continue.

...a Seattle private school, I have personally experienced the pressures and difficulties facing most high school students. I love learning in any form and have taken the PSAT, ACT, SAT, SAT Subject Tests, and AP Tests, so I understand the difficulty in finding a way to master both the material and the tests. I am well aware of the challenges that standardized tests present and love working with students to come up with a tailored...
