Award-Winning Trigonometry Tutors serving St. Louis, MO

...high scores on AP tests. Additionally, I can tutor you for the ACT. Since the ACT tests your test-taking strategies over content/knowledge, I believe that the strongest way of approaching this test is by learning strategies. As a student myself, I have realized that the best way to ace tests and classes is by being confident. This is only possible if we understand the concepts rather than memorizing (especially in subjects such as math and...

...switching my major to philosophy. I never lost my love of math and logic though, and Creighton offered a mathematical logic minor that was perfect for my interests and learning style. This education, combined with my experience as a teacher in Creighton's "Philosophy for Children" program, has helped me to understand that teaching, one-on-one or in a classroom setting, is something that I'm passionate about. I believe that dialogue between mentor and pupil, much in...

...my favorite part of teaching was the students, most of whom despised math. I realized it was just because they didn't understand and/or didn't have the confidence in themselves to excel in it. I took that as a personal challenge, and looked forward to working one-on-one with my students. I was able to see the light bulb come on when a they "got it" and I could see their confidence growing. I love being a...

...I believe that improvement comes with patience and persistence. By truly communicating with a student and understanding where he/she is struggling, we can insure improvement by teaching from the basics. I try to invoke in my students my passion for education and all of its opportunities. During my spare time, I like to play pick-up soccer, basketball, and table tennis. I also enjoy drumming, listening to all types of music, and socializing with my friends.

...to other subjects across the board. My teaching style is a 'Learn with the student' approach, breaking down problems to basic parts and building them up piece by piece, really understanding what and why we are doing each step of the process. I enjoy being able to connect the questions to a more every-day scenarios in order to really get an intuitive understanding instead of simply memorization. In my free time I enjoy playing guitar,...

...in middle school after my parents pointed out that it would help reinforce my own knowledge. In preparation for the SATs, I attended a private test prep center where I learned specialized strategies for standardized tests. After receiving a perfect score of 800 on the math section of my SATs, I was invited to begin working at a private test prep company. My age and affable nature helped foster the relationship between younger, unruly students...

...in 2014. Since my graduation I have taught high school mathematics in both the public and private school environments, as well as continuing to tutor in my spare time. In the past, I have worked with students in a variety of subjects, most focusing on mathematics (pre-Algebra through Calculus and Statistics) and standardized test preparation. In my role as a tutor, my goal is two-fold: to review and reinforce previously taught material, and to prepare...

...tutor and a mentor, I was a teaching fellow at an intensive teaching fellowship called Breakthrough Collaborative in San Francisco in which I learned specific teaching strategies such as strategic questioning, thought process verbalization, sentence starting, role reversal, etc. In addition to teaching, I have conducted research on education policy and teacher feedback systems. I am finishing an honors thesis on the importance of preschool teacher-child relationship quality in the development of depression, and hope to...

...at Midtown Catholic Charities tutoring service. I loved my time with these two programs because I was able to help K-8th graders with their task of learning fundamental concepts that would help them acquire new knowledge for the rest of their lives. I've also had some experience in helping classmates with subjects such as Organic Chemistry and Physical Chemistry. I strongly believe in the idea that, if a tutee does not understand a concept, it...

...tutoring others to pass on this influence. I've quickly realized that helping others understand something better is one of the best feelings ever and it is shared between the giver and receiver. Currently, I'm an undergraduate student at Washington University in St. Louis with a major in geophysics and a minor in astrophysics. I've tutored elementary school children in basic math, reading, and music. Along with this I've naturally picked up tutoring skills merely by...

...a few years working as a middle-high School Sub Teacher Math and Science, which helped me to gain experience of how to teach Mach and science. If you want to understand a new language, you need to understand its rules" grammar", structure to build a correct sentence. The same as you learn Math. If you want to talk in a mathematical way you have to understand the basic rules of numbers and their properties. Math...

...the medical field. I am in the process of looking for nursing programs and acquiring a second Bachelor's degree in Nursing. Currently the subjects I am tutoring are science-related - Chemistry, Microbiology, and Anatomy & Physiology to name a few. Because of my current endeavors in the medical field, these subjects are fresh! I am able to explain them to students in a fluent and straightforward way to make our sessions enjoyable and successful. A...

..."I just keep making mistakes" to "I can do this if I try hard enough" and "I can learn from my mistakes so I stop making them."

I absolutely love math, and hope to convey my passion and joy to your student and...

...like me, who have ADHD. It took me some time to gain confidence in my academic abilities because of this diagnosis, and so I hope to help other students realize that ADHD has nothing to do with intelligence. If anything, it gives us an edge! I believe any student can master any subject as long as they have the right instructor. My favorite subjects are math, science, psychology, and Spanish. I love good puns, swimming,...

...and Finite Mathematics. In my opinion the key to being a successful tutor is being able to explain the material in multiple ways, thus finding the path that best suits the particular student. I believe that Mathematics does not have to be scary if you keep an open mind and a positive attitude. Outside of tutoring I love lifting weights, reading novels, baking sweets that I can share with family and friends, and playing the...

...Certification grades 1-6. In the Fall of 2014, I student-taught 3rd grade and loved it! I was at New City School, an independent school with a focus on Multiple Intelligences. There, I learned a lot about making learning joyful and teaching to the individual child. Since then, I have been working for the Lindbergh School District in Missouri at Long Elementary tutoring students in all aspects of literacy (reading, spelling, writing) and mathematics. I've thoroughly...
