Award-Winning Intermediate Algebra Tutors serving Chester County, PA

My past students and friends say that my face lights up when I start talking about math (especially calculus). Between my Applied Mathematics degree from the University of Rochester and my Eagle Scout award, I have natural passions for mathematics and helping people. Let me combine these passions for you as your future tutor.... My ultimate aim is for my students to master their material. I believe that any person can learn any subject if they...

...in Systems Engineering. In the past, I have tutored high school students in a wide variety of math and physics courses. I also have experience in helping students prepare for the SAT standardized test. I am a firm believer that education lies at the heart of a fulfilling and successful life and I strive to instill these values in all the students that I teach. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, golfing, and hanging...

...of tutoring, I have experienced students of all different learning styles and capabilities. So, if someone were to be confused or struggling with how I first help them, I would "take a step back" and look at it from a different angle to find another way on how to present the material. In high school, I completed Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Pre-Calculus Algebra/Trigonometry, AP Calculus 1, Honors Chemistry and graduated with a 4.0 GPA....

...at Millersville University fresh out of high school, but struggled to figure out what I wanted to do with my time there. I left school after a few years and began working full-time as a manual laborer. Over time the desire to finish what I started grew immensely and I returned to school several years later to finish my degree after. As of now I have a 3.93 GPA and am a member of four...

...I also believe that an intense, lecture-driven approach is rarely conducive to fostering an atmosphere of curiosity and willingness to try. Therefore, I will regularly solicit feedback, encourage questions, and assess what methods work best for you so that I can adjust my approach accordingly. Having tutored students since high school, I firmly believe that learning and education can be life-changing when we are curious, determined, and willing to make mistakes. When I am not...

I'm a third year medical student and graduated from USC with a full tuition scholarship and a degree in Global Health B.S. I have tutored science, math, and the humanities, for several years and love doing it! I received a 2390 superscore on the SAT (99th percentile) and 94th percentile on the MCAT. I have taught English to Arabic-speaking individuals as well and enjoy helping students become more effective and confident writers.

I am committed to bringing kids and young adults along with me on the never-ending journey of learning and the mastery of strategic concepts.

...My academic journey has given me a broad appreciation for interdisciplinary, and a passion for teaching and helping others come to understand the subjects they are studying, especially in a broader context. I work with my students to ensure not only that they perform well in their classes or on their exams, but also to advise them in areas of interest for writing papers/theses, and help them to tie what they are learning into the...

...Education. I apparently aspire to have a resume similar to The-Most-Interesting-Man-In-The-World's. As a teacher, I try to "guide learning" rather than just reciting facts or "teaching at" a student. I believe that discovery is the most exciting way to learn as well as the best method for producing long-term recall; it also tailors every learning experience to the individual student. I was most inspired to pursue this Socratic style of teaching after taking several courses...

...myself, but nothing compares to the sense of accomplishment and purpose that comes with helping others do the same. I take great pride in developing individualized tutoring programs for my students based on their specific needs and goals. I previously taught high school for several years and also have tutoring experience in a wide variety of subject areas. At this time, I focus almost exclusively on assisting students seeking top scores on graduate admissions exams, including...

...a double major in computer science and biology. Early on in high school (Maggie L. Walker Governor's School graduate), I discovered a passion for helping others and I now have had hundreds of hours of tutoring experience in a wide range of subjects including chess, computer programming, math, and SAT prep. In addition to the subjects previously listed, I would also tutor Spanish and chemistry as they are subjects I am comfortable with. Outside of...

...well as helping them succeed in their endeavors to master whatever tests, subjects, or ideas they wish. I am a student at Brigham Young University, and am currently an undecided major. I have a passion for tutoring and helping my pupils succeed. I am charismatic, fun, hardworking, spontaneous, and reliable! I am more than a guy with a brain; I have an ability to connect with people on a personal level. As you will see,...

...spent the majority of my four years there working in the math tutoring center. I loved being able to work one-on-one with students and see their growth as they started to understand the material. I strongly believe that understanding concepts is just as important as being able to work out technical problems, and that all students (regardless of perceived mathematical intelligence) have the ability to do so. I also understand how mathematics functions to gatekeep...

...the concepts, but I can also explain them using applicable examples. Really, math is like a language; you need to know the basics before you get speaking fluently. Math can be difficult, but it can be even more fun once you get it. To me, chemistry is the perfect blend of science and math, which is great since I enjoy both! You can learn from the most basic atoms (don't trust them, they make up...

...tutor math at all levels and mostly focus on math, but can also cover theoretical CS, programming in Java & C, and basic physics. I've tutored students in high school through the math honor society, and continued tutoring in college through the Office of Multi-Ethnic Student Education. My long term plan after graduation is to enter grad school, get a PhD in math, and eventually become a math professor, researching and lecturing throughout the whole...

...deep understanding of math and science. I recently graduated from Brown University with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, coursework in both the physical and natural sciences, and a GPA of 3.87.

I have tutored students age 7 - 22 in subjects from French to...

...(English, Literature, and History) and the sciences (biology, chemistry, math). I am most passionate about the sciences because many of my extracurriculars have centered around them, such as cancer research and public health research. Furthermore, by recently going through the college application process, I can offer valuable insight on college essays, activity lists, and college selection. I am familiar with the Common Application, Coalition, BS/MD (8-year medical program), and Institutional systems for the college application....

...math class, Finite Mathematics. I was hooked, instantly. I completely reevaluated my life plans to focus on becoming a mathematician and teacher. I graduated from Elmira College in Upstate New York with a dual major in Mathematics and Philosophy, and moved directly to Arizona where I began teaching at a private boarding school outside of Mayer. With six years of private tutoring experience at both the college and high school level, and three years experiences...

...Immunology and a M.S. in Bacteriology. I was a teaching and laboratory assistant during my time in college where I helped many students through their science courses. I was recently a Microbiology Professor in Portland and really enjoyed the student-teacher interaction. I am looking to continue this through tutoring students in the Phoenix area. Some of my favorite subjects to teach are science, math and writing I am easily able to pull items from my...

...framework for creative problem solving pioneered by the international design firm IDEO. While typically used in startups to develop new innovations, I've found it extremely handy in tutoring. Every student is different and so are their difficulties, so a finite set of ways to present a concept or tackle a difficulty is potentially limiting. In my experience, it's much more effective to use an adaptive framework like design thinking to identify the root of students'...
