About Me

Experience Summary

I have been tutoring students for about 5 years. I started when I was a junior in high school. My first experiences tutoring were through the National Honor Society. I volunteered after school once or twice per week and I tutored mainly ESL students in Math and English. My senior year of high school and throughout the time I was in college, I tutored a high school student who had educational and developmental deficits. He needed help in all of his core classes from 8th grade through 12th grade. I tutored him in Pre-Algebra through Algebra II, History, Science, and English. I also tutored at Columbia Heights High School for 6 months, conducting tutorials for groups of 6-7 students. I tutored mainly Algebra I and II, but also some Geometry, Trigonometry, and Environmental Science. I am currently tutoring a student in 3rd grade Math. He is educationally behind and struggles to understand and master the concepts. I'm working with him on multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction facts and strategies. I also tutor him in other important Math concepts covered in 3rd grade, such as telling time and skip counting.

Teaching Style

I try to get my students to find the answer for themselves by asking them questions. Students need to come to an understanding of their material and that won't happen if I continually give them the answers. I'm also very patient with my students. If they don't grasp a concept or topic that we're working on, I will continue to explain it to them in different ways until it makes sense.

My Hobbies

I love to play tennis and hang out with my family.

College Algebra Proficiency: Experienced
I have tutored high school Algebra I and II, which are the components covered in College Algebra. I also took College Algebra as a junior in high school through PSEO and excelled in the course. I would love to help other students better understand the material.
Composition Proficiency: Experienced
I enjoy writing and the process involved and I would love the opportunity to help others see how much fun it can be to write and see your end product. I'm also a very good writer and I'm skilled at proofreading papers and essays and improving them - ranging from content and sentence structure to simple grammar mistakes.
Elementary Math Proficiency: Experienced
I am currently tutoring a student who will be in 4th grade. I'm teaching him various strategies to help him understand, primarily, multiplication and division, but also other important topics, such as telling time and skip counting. He makes a little bit of progress every day towards understanding the concepts, as well as memorizing his basic facts.
Geometry Proficiency: Experienced
I tutored 9th and 10th grade high school students in Geometry for 5 hours per week for 6 months. I excel at math and love helping students gain a better understanding of the subject.
Physics Proficiency: Experienced
I recently tutored high school Physics. In less than a month my student had made a lot of progress in understanding concepts that he struggled with before. Physics is a subject that builds upon previously learned concepts, so it was pivotal for him to understand those building blocks. I also excelled in my own college Physics course and really enjoyed teaching it.
Pre-Algebra This is one of my top subjects! Proficiency: Expert
I taught Pre-Algebra concepts to a high school student who had educational and developmental deficits. I helped him understand the concepts for 2-3 years while he was in high school. Through my tutoring, he was able to keep his grades up and gain a better understanding in his mainstream math classes (Algebra I, Algebra II).
Reading Proficiency: Experienced
I tutored a student for 3-4 years in reading. He was educationally behind in his reading skills. He was 14 years old when I started, but he was at a 1st grade reading level. After tutoring him, I was able to get him up to an 8th grade reading level.
Spelling Proficiency: Experienced
I tutored a student for about 1 year in spelling. I helped him to understand the phonics of words and taught him how to sound the words out. His spelling was greatly improved after he had a better understanding of the phonics.
Writing Proficiency: Experienced
I enjoy writing and the process involved and I would love the opportunity to help others see how much fun it can be to write and see your end product. I'm also a very good writer and I'm skilled at proofreading papers and essays and improving them - ranging from content and sentence structure to simple grammar mistakes.
