Award-Winning Math Tutors for Students in Salt Lake City, UT

...is to help students become independent, comfortable, and confident in the fields they are studying. I love helping people get to the "aha" moment when they really understand what's being taught. In my experience, one of the most important parts of tutoring is setting clear expectations at the beginning and working toward a common goal. Given the right goals and assistance, I truly believe that anyone can master any of the subjects I teach.

...rather than having topics taught at you. For standardized testing: I have taken the special classes and labored through the workbooks to prepare for taking the exams myself. The trick is to learn the test and know how to beat it with the right tools, and I am eager to pass along what I have learned from years of studying for and taking standardized tests. There is nothing quite like sitting down in the testing...

...I pay attention to whether they are an audio, visual, or kinesthetic 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 competition while only a freshman. When I am...

Let's make learning fun!

I am currently finishing a degree in electrical engineering at the University of Utah. I have had the opportunity to help friends and family with material in math and science fields. This gives me a knowledge of teaching at various levels and technical background. ... A teacher should help a student breakdown a topic they are struggling with into smaller ideas. This makes it easy to present these small ideas in a way that will help...

...a skill that requires training, pacing, and a lot of practice. It stems from one's ability to process information by reading the assigned text, taking good notes, and carefully choosing exercises and problems to solidify one's understanding of concepts without taking up too much time. Though learning is a universal skill, it manifests differently from person to person. My goal is to help my students find their own way of learning and devise a study...

...I am currently applying to medical school and hope to become a physician some day. I love explaining science concepts including biology, chemistry, and psychology. I believe that tutoring is a guide to gaining understanding and complete comprehension of a subject, rather than just preparing for a test. I aim to help my students gain skills that they will use throughout the rest of their education to better prepare them for whatever their goals may...

...grades, it is important to me that students discover their personal learning style and gain confidence in the learning process. My teaching style is both personal and goal-oriented. In the first time meeting a student I like to briefly introduce myself. I like to hear a little about the student as well. I then take time to hear the student's attitude towards their class, their own perceived strengths and weaknesses with that subject, and what...

...subject and a lot of times students just need to think about things a new way to understand it easily. My teaching philosophy is that the biggest key to learning is just getting in the right mindset. Being willing and excited to learn and then understanding what the question is really looking for are the keys to success in almost every subject. Other interests I have include football and basketball. I also play piano and...

...teach biweekly Sunday School lessons and help plan weekly activities. Currently I stay at home with our two little boys while my husband works on a PhD at Stanford and I love it, but I miss teaching and working with students. I tutor a wide range of subjects including history, writing, and math. I am passionate about each of them for different reasons. History helps us identify bias, see cause and effect, think critically, and...

...and physics and I enjoy imparting that enthusiasm with others. In my five plus years at Brigham Young University, I had the opportunity to tutor many in advanced mathematics. I tutored for courses in astronomy, multivariable calculus, and partial differential equations. I think that learning is the greatest experience that one can have in this life and is indeed the essence of life. My enthusiasm and my skill makes me a great tutor.... Imparting knowledge depends...

...geological science (geophysics) from University of Colorado Boulder with a minor in mathematics. Part of my success in college came from the preparation I had from taking AP Calculus and Physics courses in high school. I'm a huge fan of visual aids and examining real-life examples and applications when teaching. I worked as a learning assistant in an astronomy lab course and as a tutor for student athletes in geology while attending CU. I've been...

...various math classes, and a variety of electives. I have traditionally preferred tutoring physics and math, but recently constructed a chemistry course that has built my enthusiasm for that subject. I have had experience teaching students of many ages and abilities, and believe that patient and understanding instruction is paramount to a students success. I am very patient and caring, and I take a sincere interest in my students. I consider myself to be a...

...think that our strengths and weaknesses should not define what we are skilled at but should help us develop skills across subject matters. For most of my academic career, I believed that I was bad at math and science because I excelled in writing and literature. One day, my AP 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...

...people harbor negative experiences from previous math classes. My personal goal as a tutor is to ease the frustration and help them make new, positive experiences learning math. I want my students to experience victories, have confidence, build up grit, and learn to enjoy math. I believe no one is inherently "bad at math". I think some students are not accustomed to thinking and speaking in the language of mathematics and/or they are missing some...

...B.S. in Special Education K-12 with an endorsement in Mild/Moderate disabilities. I most recent experience includes me working in the 4-6th grade intervention classroom focusing on reading, math, writing, and social skills. I have experience with Wilson ( a program designed specifically for students who have dyslexia), and several other reading interventions. I also have experience with remediation with math concepts. I believe that all students deserve an advocate to be successful in their personal...

...I graduated high school from Greeneview School District and have now begun to further my education at Brigham Young University. Although I am currently working on my Bachelor's degree in psychology, I plan on obtaining a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and Neuropsychology. Because of my projected career path, I took a STEM-core approach during high school. This ranged from Anatomy and Physiology to AP Biology and AP Calculus and has helped me understand both basic...

...the beauty of mathematics, and being able to help other people understand it! Being able to use programming to solve math problems is really cool, and being able to use math to solve programming problems is even better. But the absolute best part about my work (and sort of the end goal, in my mind) is being able to use math AND programming together to solve real-world problems and communicate this valuable information to others...

...teachers skilled in pedagogy. They built my confidence in science and developed my interest in impacting knowledge. Now it is my turn to shine my light. I have been teaching undergraduate and high school students for over three years, helping them conquer their fear of science especially physics. The bulk of my audience are between the age bracket of 13 - 21 years. I will use my skill set in science and calculus to develop...

...City, but normally I would be working part-time as an Extended Care staff member at a school in the Seattle area. Although the capacities in which I've worked with kids differ vastly, my passion for helping them grow and reach their full potential has never wavered. I am looking forward to starting teaching in the fall with the Teach for America Idaho corps and would love to help students learn and grow through Varsity in...
