Adaptable Engineer with High School Tutoring Experience in STEM

Guy B.

ACT English

I'm an engineer with an education minor who's tutored for about six years now. My STEM background and practical approach gives me an unusual niche in this area. I prioritize practicality and procedure--effectiveness in talking and how that translates into understandable writing. My background in standardized test prep helps you keep your eye on the long-term prize of getting college money.

ACT Math

I have a bachelor's in Civil Engineering and a minor in Secondary Education, and have tutored for about six years now. I consistently add points to ACT scores, and it's largely because I work hard. I provide help outside of tutoring sessions, providing resources and guidance as you work through examples. My careers helps provide concepts and real examples to give you a tangible grasp of the material.

ACT Science

I have a bachelor's in Civil Engineering and a minor in Secondary Education, with roughly 4 years of relevant tutoring experience. I got my start tutoring in STEM subjects when I was in college, but now I've gained much more experience tutoring at the high school level in math and science, as well as standardized test prep. My career compels me to read data tables and expert commentary on STEM subjects for personal enrichment as well as application in my projects. So, I understand what it's like to approach new information with the agenda of isolating the relevant pieces. Most importantly, I know what it's like to be daunted by the Science section, and I know how to help students overcome that intimidation to give confident answers.

Algebra 1

I have a bachelor's in Civil Engineering and a minor in Secondary Education, with roughly 4 years of relevant tutoring experience. I got my start tutoring in STEM subjects when I was in college, but now I've gained much more experience tutoring at the high school level in math and science, as well as standardized test prep. Basic Algebra skills are something I use every day, so I'm spoiled for real-world examples when tailoring lessons to students. I've improved students grades and helped with homework, but I'm proudest of the confidence that I give my students in their firm foundation in mathematics.

Algebra 2

I have a bachelor's in Civil Engineering and a minor in Secondary Education, and have tutored for about six years now. I use algebra every day to solve problems. Algebra 2 can be concept-heavy and intimidating to students, which is perfectly within my wheelhouse! My career gives me real-world examples and strong conceptual understanding that can give students a more tangible grasp of the subject material.

Biology

I have a bachelor's in Civil Engineering and a minor in Secondary Education, with roughly 4 years of relevant tutoring experience. I got my start tutoring in STEM subjects when I was in college, but now I've gained much more experience tutoring at the high school level in math and science, as well as standardized test prep. I remember what it was like to be a student learning biology; the subject wasn't hard, but it was a lot. With so much ground to cover, it can be intimidating to try to tackle it all. But, my experience tutoring life sciences and environmental engineering are a huge aid for pulling real-world examples and analogies to give support and comfort to my students.

Calculus

I have a bachelor's in Civil Engineering and a minor in Secondary Education, and have tutored for about six years now. Calculus holds a special honor in my heart because it's what convinced me to pursue engineering, and it's the first math class that made me appreciate the subject. Many students can get lost in calculus' many mechanics and new operations, but I've brought success to students with my strong emphasis on concepts.

Chemistry

I have a bachelor's in Civil Engineering and a minor in Secondary Education, with roughly 4 years of relevant tutoring experience. I got my start tutoring in STEM subjects when I was in college, but now I've gained much more experience tutoring at the high school level in math and science, as well as standardized test prep. Chemistry is weird--it operates at a small scale where the rules are unintuitive to a first-learner, and I remember what that's like as a student. My career has given me a comfort with these ideas that can be passed along to students with many real-world examples and analogies. Chemistry doesn't have to be hard--it's just different.

Chess

I've played chess for 20 years, and am active in a club where I play daily in-person games. I have experience teaching people of all ages in chess: I've taught people who don't know how to move the pieces, as well as intermediate players wanting to refine their opening theory.

Civil Engineering

I have a bachelor's in Civil Engineering and a minor in Secondary Education, and have tutored for about six years now. I work as a design engineer EI at a national metal manufacturing company that works with gauge steel. I'm not only familiar with the academic material required to pass tests in college, I'm also familiar with the practical industry and can give advice on navigating a career confidently and ethically as a future engineer.

English

Most English teachers have been isolated in the academic bubble for so long, they have forgotten what it was like to have learned these ideas in the first place. If you want a practical communicator with direct explanations, then I am the Guy who can help. My background in STEM subjects helps me to stay grounded, with simple conveyance of grammar, vocabulary, and standardized test prep for the English language.

Geometry

I have a bachelor's in Civil Engineering and a minor in Secondary Education, with roughly 4 years of relevant tutoring experience. I got my start tutoring in STEM subjects when I was in college, but now I've gained much more experience tutoring at the high school level in math and science, as well as standardized test prep. Basic geometry skills are something I use every day, so I'm spoiled for real-world examples when tailoring lessons to students. I've improved students' grades and helped with homework, but I'm proudest of the confidence that I give my students in their firm foundation in mathematics.

Grammar

I'm an engineer with an education minor who's tutored for about six years now. My STEM background and practical approach gives me an unusual niche in this area. I prioritize practicality and procedure--effectiveness in talking and how that translates into understandable writing. My background in standardized test prep helps you keep your eye on the long-term prize of getting college money.

Prealgebra

I have a bachelor's in Civil Engineering and a minor in Secondary Education, with roughly 4 years of relevant tutoring experience. I got my start tutoring in STEM subjects when I was in college, but now I've gained much more experience tutoring at the high school level in math and science, as well as standardized test prep. Basic math skills are something I use every day, so I'm spoiled for real-world examples when tailoring lessons to students. I've improved students grades and helped with homework, but I'm proudest of the confidence that I give my students in their firm foundation in mathematics.

Precalculus

I have a bachelor's in Civil Engineering and a minor in Secondary Education, with roughly 4 years of relevant tutoring experience. I got my start tutoring in STEM subjects when I was in college, but now I've gained much more experience tutoring at the high school level in math and science, as well as standardized test prep. I use a concept-first approach that helps students in classes like precalculus and onward, as the math becomes less about repeated mechanics and more about understanding what operations to apply and why. Precalculus doesn't need to be hard: I aim to build a student's foundation as they progress confidently into higher math.

Trigonometry

I have a bachelor's in Civil Engineering and a minor in Secondary Education, with roughly 4 years of relevant tutoring experience. I got my start tutoring in STEM subjects when I was in college, but now I've gained much more experience tutoring at the high school level in math and science, as well as standardized test prep. I use trigonometry every day to solve real-world problems in my career. Trig is this tough mix of heavy concepts mixed with daunting new tools that are deceptively easy to use. But, I still remember what it was like to be a student and seeing these things for the first time. These straightforward examples can help to give confidence and support as we strengthen these ideas.

Vocabulary

Most English teachers have been isolated in the academic bubble for so long, they have forgotten what it was like to have learned these ideas in the first place. If you want a practical communicator with direct explanations, then I am the Guy who can help you.
