More About This Tutor...

I am a PhD graduate in computer engineering. My research is on applied math. I am proficient in teaching Probability & Statistics calculus, algebra and other math related subjects. I have had experiences teaching Math and computer science to undergraduate students.
I am a considerate and patient teacher. I relate theory to practical scenarios when I teach. My objective of teaching is to make sure that the students understand the subject. I have an interactive session with my students asking them questions and allowing them raise their doubts. This way students get a vivid understanding of the subject and are attentive throughout the tutoring session.

Education, youth and adult continuing education are great passions of mine. I believe that every student has the capacity to learn and has room for improvement. I don't believe that education has to be dull and I value creative approaches to learning, all the while keeping a keen eye on the task at hand. I throughly enjoy learning each student's individual personality and strive to find ways to make material approachable, relevant and practical. Sometimes the "trick" is just to relate to what they already know and love. Key educators made a profound impact on my life and it's my simple desire to continue to do the same for others.
I place a high value on practical education. I graduated high school at the top of my class and received my AA degree just a few of months later- all while working full-time. I then obtained my BA in Organizational Management and I am now in a loca ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My philosophy on teaching is not centered just on the concept at hand, but rather on the goal of helping the student develop the skills to expand on that concept and apply them to other problems. When I tutored other college students at the UW, I helped my students explore topics from every possible angle we could think of so that the student can fully develop a solid grasp of that topic, and lay down the foundations needed to be able to apply that learning and understanding to other situations and problems. Thus, even with a limited set of practice problems, I believe that with the right approach, a student can learn to work their way through an unlimited set of problems, given the proper tools and a solid foundation on a subject.
As an undergraduate student at the University of Washington, I pushed myself to excel academically. I received a BS in Biochemistry and a BA in dance, a ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My interest in educating others sparked when I first conducted a training program for engineers in my work place. Since then I explored the field of learning and development and gained a lot of knowledge on how knowledge flows from person to person. Inspired by my findings, I did my master’s thesis on Knowledge Management. Today, I share my knowledge with my co-workers by presenting new information. I do it in a way that is interesting and easy to understand. If there is one way I can differentiate myself with others, it is the way I share and present knowledge. I am interesting in tutoring under graduates, high school students on math, physics, chemistry, statistics and computer science.
I help people to understand complex ideas, gain new knowledge by presenting the information that is interesting and easy to follow. I use a lot of analogy when presenting the information. I ch ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

What strikes me most as I look back at my education is how much of an impact a teacher can have when they make their subject relevant to their students. When I am teaching I try to find out what motivates each student as a person, in addition to what is motivating them to take the class. My goal is to find a way to present the material in such a way that the experience of learning is a journey of meaningful discovery that corresponds to the course content.
While completing my BS in engineering, I spent two years tutoring math, physics, and optics. During my senior year I was also able to teach a portion of two terms of the freshman optics class. During the last four years I have worked as an aerospace engineer, and as a private contractor. Although these weren't teaching positions, I believe that these experiences have given me unique opportunities to share my knowledge and wi ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I tutored programming and math while earning my degree. I currently work as a substitute teacher at Bellevue Christian School. Last year while subbing at BCS I also worked at Mathnasium. During 2008-2009 I taught an Introduction to Computer Programming class, and a Math-lab class at BCS, as well as working as a sub. I also tutored math and computer programming at the University of Washington – Bothell. In addition, I have also worked at Lake Washington Technical College, and taught / tutored pre-algebra, algebra, business math, and industrial / technical math, as well as introduction to computer programming fundamentals. At the same time I also tutored C programming at Bellevue (Community) College.
I believe that most students want to learn and are capable of learning, but math seems to have developed this mystique that one needs to be extra smart to figure it out. I ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I got my BA in linguistics from the University of Washington, and earned an MLitt and PhD in English language from the University of Glasgow, Scotland. My training in English and linguistics has equipped me for critical thinking from both the literary and scientific angles, and given me detailed knowledge of English grammar. Past positions as a proofreader for EFL students, an IT tutor, and a reading tutor for primary-level students each add further dimensions of experience and versatility to my teaching repertoire. I enjoy writing, and ten years of college and postgraduate studies in two countries have honed my skills, allowed me to teach in a wide range of settings, and provided many chances to share my knowledge with others.
I love to introduce students to new ways of thinking about language, literature, culture, and history; there's nothing better than "seeing the light go on". ... read more

More About This Tutor...

In my teaching style I strive for excellence with all my students to reach their potential while under my teaching them. I am committed to improving their understanding of concepts and skills taught and for them to learn to take responsibility for their learning, too. It is important that I observe and listen to find what method of learning suits my students best. Some need a very structured approach, while others need to learn through a hands-on discovery approach. I believe that communication is essential and possible with my students even if we don't speak the same language, with cooperation from the parents as also very important. My approach is to treat each other with respect and embrace diversity. It is my goal to make a positive impact on all my students.

I love helping people achieve their goals. I know that people learn in different ways, and will try my best to adapt my teaching in a manner in which you or your children will receive the best results. I am positive and constructive in my approach to learning, because I know that everyone learns differently, but a good attitude can help produce exceptional results in anyone. I strive to make a difference in the lives of all of my students by providing them with an avenue for help in achieving academic success.
Through my undergraduate work in Civil Engineering I have gained a great deal of experience in the math and science courses. I started in community college and have worked my way up through many of these courses, providing me with a great sphere of education to draw from to help aid in the success of you or your child. During my undergraduate studies at the Oregon Instit ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a graduate from Occidental College in Los Angeles. I majored in Biochemistry with a minor in Physics, providing me with a vast knowledge and fundamental understanding of biology, chemistry, and physics. During my junior and senior years, I was asked to serve as a tutor for freshman and sophomore students who were currently taking courses in general and organic chemistry, biology, and occasionally physics. I continued to tutor these college students until I graduated in May of 2008.
I am a strong believer that all students have the ability to learn complicated subjects. My goal is to help students gain a fundamental understanding of the material through an encouraging and positive work environment. I always like to take a step back from specific coursework and ensure that the student understands the big picture. I also like to use comprehendible analogies and examples to ... read more

As it has evolved over the years, my teaching style has become a mix of facilitation and direct instruction, with the goal always being the student's making his own discovery. I was trained in the Socratic style, which seems to match well with inquiry-based learning, and that is how my classes usually end up. I introduce activities, then gradually release them to the students to lead.
Over the last 15 years, I have worked in various different areas. First, I taught adult ESL, and had occasional tutoring gigs with Russian speakers learning English, and some English speakers learning Russian. Currently, I work as a special education teacher. Part of my job is to work in small ratios with honors students who have disabilities. This "study skills" class often requires one-on-one tutoring.

I graduated in May 2009 with a BS in Engineering from Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering, a prestigious technical school in Needham, Massachusetts. Aside from my engineering coursework, I completed an arts and humanities concentration and capstone in Political Science, focusing on third world development and ethno-political conflict. I served as a course assistant for math and science courses throughout much of college. I mostly tutored first year students (subjects included Calculus, Physics: Mechanics and Electromagnetism, Engineering: modeling, simulation, analysis, and Partial Differential Equations), and did some grading as well. I really enjoy tutoring, both one-on-one and with small groups. As a high school student I took Spanish through AP Spanish Language (and scored a 5 on the AP exam), and took a college level Spanish grammar course beyond that. I also attended an ext ... read more

Throughout my life I have had the pleasure of working with children through school groups, summer camps, English camps in Eastern Europe, and in the classroom. While my role may change in each setting, the constant in each, is addressing the needs of the child as paramount concern. I feel I shouldn’t enter any teaching situation with pre-conceived notions of what a student is capable of, rather first assess what level they are at, and then tailor learning goals to the particular learner. I am honest with students, not hiding what I am trying to teach them; rather, involve them in the whole process of learning. With regards to instruction, I feel that there are many different methods for teaching. Clearly what works for one student, doesn’t always work for the other. Having flexibility with instructional tools and approaches allows me to meet the individual needs of the learner.

In college I volunteer tutored at the Crawford Country READ center to a pupil struggling with reading comprehension, writing and mathematics. In addition to this, during my senior year at Allegheny College I was a teaching assistant for a Research Design and Statistics I and II course. Furthermore, I am currently living in Pittsburgh as a private tutor. As a recent college graduate I can understand the difficulties some students may face in grasping course material and feel capable of connecting and conveying information in an effective way.
In the past I have worked with students both one and one and within a group setting, and feel comfortable adapting to any particular group or individual's needs. I believe effective teachers must compose a delicate balance of meticulous discipline and natural concern. The best teachers and professors of my academic career were not only intellig ... read more

I believe education should enrich and engage a students mind. I work very hard to make connections for what students are learning to what they are passionate about. Through strong encouragement and support, I make an effort to give students confidence while challenging them to move forward and deepen their understanding. I strive to give students the means they need to take pride in their work. I have seen so many students flourish after having someone re-explain a concept in a way that makes sense to them. I am willing to put the time and energy it takes to find the explanation that works best for each student. I believe all my students can succeed in their lives.
As a graduate of the University of Washington's English program, I have studied a variety of concepts and theory in literature and critical analysis. I have extensive experience in writing a wide range of papers as well ... read more
