Award-Winning Middle School Math Tutors for Students in Seattle, WA

...school's Pre-Calculus course. Other tutoring experience comes from volunteering to help my peers in their math and Computer Science classes. I am an avid programmer with experience across a wide range of technologies and languages, including NodeJS, MySQL, C, C++, and Objective C. Most of my experience in Computer Science comes from personal projects and my own curiosity. Learning new things is my favorite pastime, and I'd like to share that feeling with others as...

...the most valuable aspect of education is learning how to think in different ways and approach problems from various perspectives. Even if a few years from now, you cannot quite remember how to graph an equation, at one point you thought through how to present information in a form that is easier to visually interpret. The exact meaning of "prestidigitation" might elude you some day, but if you ran across this word on the SAT...

...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 Philosophy! My teaching philosophy is a mix of formal training and personal methods. I earned Level II certification from the Collegiate Reading and Learning Association (CLRA) while tutoring for OSU, which taught me the methods needed to effectively relay information to...

...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 a non-academic issue that arises while tutoring I will always do my best to help the student through because I believe that if the student is distracted he will not be able to focus on studying and their grades will...

I have mentored writers through the development of content...

...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 arsenal of strategies and approaches to make the test easier and less intimidating. I have years of experience with reading comprehension, essay writing, critical analysis (including the identification of tone, argument, style, etc), argumentation, and editing, and a strong record...

...In middle school, I struggled to find motivation in the 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...

Providing guidance in science and mathematics to help students understand the real-world applications of scientific and mathematical concepts in their everyday lives. I have a B.S.E. in Aerospace Engineering and a B.S. in Sustainable Energy Materials and Technology, and I am pursuing my M.S. in Aerospace Engineering.... Learning science and mathematics through real-world applications that show how concepts can actually be used to solve real problems.... I'd ask them about topics they feel uncomfortable with, as...

Hello! I'm Jack and I am a graduate of Computer Science and Bass Trombone performance from McGill University, currently pursuing a masters in music with a focus on performance research in collaborative composition. I am passionate about developing fluency with the mathematical and conceptual components of computer science to build passion and intuition in my students and I firmly believe in everyone's capacity for success.

...ironically ended up teaching it. I believe you need to be patient and understand the student's strengths and weakness in order to effectively teach Math to students. Relating Math to real life examples can make it more interesting and fun for students. I believe my tutoring/teaching experience and desire in teaching math would be beneficial for the student. I love one on one tutoring and enjoy the pleasure of making a difference in the education...

...(more importantly, educating!) is my passion. I believe that teaching statistics and math should result in real-world, useful applications of the material. I use a socratic method of questions/answers to encourage critical thinking and problem solving skills. I am also a retired professional fire fighter with over 29 years of fire service. In my spare time I enjoy riding my Harley-Davidson on long road trips, restoring a 1965 Mustang and outdoor sports and photography.

I mainly focus on Mathematics tutoring (HS, College) but also available in subjects such as General Programming, Chinese and High-School Chemistry. ... Learning could be fun. The main...

...since I was a kid and watched The Magic School 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...

...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 are underrepresented in mathematics to pursue the subject. While I have learned much about teaching mathematics thus far, and believe myself able to practice it effectively, I am under no illusions as to having perfected it. Indeed, I feel that...

...years, and I love what I do. The best part of my day is when my students are experiencing success and confidence in their math skills. I've taught Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Precalculus, and Calculus. Trigonometry has always been a solid part of my Algebra 2 and Precalculus classes. Many students have said they understand math after I've explained it. My goal is to help my students reach their goals.

Hello, my name is Matt Kuhn. I am a professional engineer who is exceptional at math, physics, and the sciences. Working with people of all ages is a passion of mine!

...I tutor a broad range of subjects, I really enjoy tutoring math and science. I am a mentor for a girls' after school STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) program, and I am a mentor for a high school science outreach program. As a tutor, I provide students with the tools and information they need to do their work as independently as possible. In addition, I aim to set very clear, attainable goals early on...

...dots, enabling them to master the material and themselves as they improve their study skills and self-confidence. I have worked with students of all ages in a variety of subjects and settings, from all backgrounds in this country and others. I have found, consistently, that the best way to connect is to be genuine and sincere with enthusiasm for the material and compassionate consideration for the learner. It is a pleasure to meet you :-)

I have been working with children in schools, daycares, summer programs, and afterschool programs for 13 years. I hope to use my diverse experiences to foster communities of joyful and eager learners.... I believe that each student travels on their own unique path to knowledge. I believe that a teacher is a guide along these paths, walking alongside each student, supporting them where they struggle and guiding them when there is a fork in the road.

While tutoring at Skagit Valley College, I received an award for excellence in tutoring in...
