Patient and Knowledgeable Tutor with Experience

Whenever I teach/ tutor, I try to explain to the students that everything in a subject is about rules. Once the rules are understood everything becomes simple to get to the final result. This applies from writing a paper to doing a math calculation to performing a physics problem. To start my teaching processing, just like a good physician that's trying to understand the problem, I try to understand the root cause of what is needed to improve or attack the defiance of the student. Then I try to see what method or process works best for the student to understand the material. Thirdly, I go over the rules for the subject at hand and write those down for the student to use as a guide to solve problems. And fourthly, we work out problems of my own or from the book. I also try to leave a sense or support by providing references to material that can help advance the student knowledge.

Algebra 1

The terror students face the first time they learn algebra can only be matched by the fear a teacher has in front of a room full of students. Algebra is the gateway discipline that opens the world of higher math to students---but that gate will remain closed if students miss the fundamentals of the subject. Giving kids the best chance to learn requires a plan and the patience to help each student understand.

Algebra 2

Algebra is one of the main branches of mathematics; it concerns the study of structure, relation and quantity. Algebra studies the effects of adding and multiplying numbers, variables, and polynomials, along with their factorization and determining their roots. In addition to working directly with numbers, algebra also covers symbols, variables, and set elements. There is a set of rules which never changes for solving algebraic problems. Once these rules are learned, the equations become a jigsaw... Read More

Prealgebra

Pre-algebra is the first step on the path to higher mathematics for most students. Pre-algebra courses introduce students to mathematical concepts beyond that of basic arithmetic. Students first learn about integers, exponents and equations in a pre-algebra course. While most people find they do not need the concepts learned in higher math courses such as calculus, the concepts taught in pre-algebra are used in everyday life.

English

Strong communication skills, both written and oral, are vital to providing students with the best help. Patience is of the utmost importance. A successful and inspiring tutor will have a positive and encouraging attitude that makes the student feel confident and competent.

SAT Math

How’s your Geometry? Statistics? Rusty, maybe? For your sake, we’ll hope not, because the Math section, one of the three you’ll take on the SAT, is a doozy.

SAT Statistics

You can bring your own approved calculator
The test is divided into three sections: (2)25-minute sections
(1) 20-minute section
Contains 54 questions total
Two different types of questions

Physical Science

Physical science is a particularly important class for middle schoolers because it is usually the first time that they are expected to really use math in science. Furthermore, this class provides a foundation for high school physics, chemistry, and biology classes.

This subject is fun as students start understanding how everything in our world works together.

Elementary Math

Elementary mathematics encompasses primarily arithmetic, elementary number theory, elementary algebra, elementary geometry, and trigonometry. It may be concisely characterized as the mathematics of constants.
