Bio

I have always liked explaining things, and I found out that I am good at it when I went to college, where we were encouraged to help one another with our homework. I have been helping students ever since and I would like to do the same for you. I have approachable personality that puts students at ease and I am confident about my knowledge of the subjects I tutor.

I have approachable personality that puts students at ease and I am confident about my knowledge of the subjects I tutor.
I tutor students preparing for GRE, ASVAB, SAT//ACT Math, and students learning Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Precalculus, Geometry and Trigonometry. I have tried-and-tested methods to help my students understand and memorize mathematical concepts and formulas. I also have the tools to help with reducing what needs to be memorized. I can also equip my students with valuable test-taking skills that are crucial when taking standardized testes.

GRE

I have helped out a number of students preparing for GRE. They have all improved their understanding and their scores. My students like how simple and very targeted my approach is. Every student is unique. With that in mind, I put together a plan specific to your needs starting the second session. If you dutifully follow, you can be successful.

Homeschool

Algebra 1,

Algebra 1

I have been tutoring Algebra 1 for over five years; currently with WyzAnt and with Mathnasium of Annandale. I enjoy tutoring Algebra I because of its importance as a base for any Math to follow. When it comes to efficiency, my method of tutoring goes beyond just helping students "do the math" - I help my students understand the math using all the efficient skills I have acquired over the years.
Algebra 2,

Algebra 2

I have been tutoring Algebra 2 for a number of years now - currently WyzAnt and previously with another learning center. I have had many students who, consciously or not, concluded that Math "just is not the thing" for them, and I have watched live as many of them realize for themselves how such a statement is not just completely wrong, but that it had been a hindrance. The Algebra skill is just half of the half that is needed. There is so much more that goes into tutoring a student successfully. I would just mention one here. Caring for the student enough, and acting out of that care in a way the student understands the care, and gets empowered by it, is what I offer.
Geometry,

Geometry

Geometry is all about objects and how we quantify them. Geometry really is about objects you can touch, measure and alter. I would have my students measure, cut, concatenate, and even color. It works better when they know why they are doing what they are being asked to do. It works better when they are fully involved in the process. It is also fun that way.
Precalculus,

Precalculus

Conics, Parametrica Equations, Polar/Spherical Coordinates, Polar Representations of Complex Numbers, Simultaneous/Metrics Equations, Trigs and Limits, are the stuff of Precalculus that I have been tutoring for years now. I have worked at learning centers and have hundreds of hours working with Precalculus students.
SAT Math

I have been helping students preparing for SAT math for over five years now. I am very familiar with kind of math topics the SAT covers. I can also teach my students effective test-taking skills elimination technique, cutting out unnecessary steps and much more.

Test Preparation

ASVAB,

ASVAB

I have been tutoring ASVAB for six years. I have also taken the test myself, and my score qualified me for any enlistment program available at the time. ASVAB is a very straightforward tests . Here are a couple of things that anyone considering taking ASVAB should know. First, take the test the day you decided to join. Doing this will let you know how much work is needed. Then Get a book (or ebook) and start reading as much as you can. If you need a tutor, know what kind of tutoring fits you best. You may need a tutor to just answer questions whenever you get stuck. Or, you may need a tutor to just walk you through it all. Either way, I am confident you will benefit from my tutoring.

Very Smart!

My son enjoyed working with Mitiku very much on Algebra 2/Trig. He was able to help him understand the current chapter. After working with Mitiku, my son retook a test and improved his grade.

Amanda, 1 lesson with Mitiku

Great & Personable Tutor

Mitiku tutored my nephew assisting with ASVAB prep. He assessed and met my nephew right where he was with the content and learning started taking place immediately.

Curtis, 5 lessons with Mitiku

Great teacher, Patient and Simple

First session was great! Walking me through problems and showing me different ways to solve them. Helping me get prepared for the asvab.

Kareem, 2 lessons with Mitiku

Great math tutor!

Mitiku was very patient, and knowledgeable. He taught me solve numerical math problems in different ways, and showed me different approaches. He taught me a different way of thinking!

Alexandra, 1 lesson with Mitiku

Great Tutor

Mitiku helped me with the GRE Test, specifically math. He was able to teach me skills and basic tools to answer questions. He was also able to tech me how to truly understand what the questions were asking.

Brooke, 4 lessons with Mitiku

Two great catch-up sessions

My nephew was switched into a new algebra 2 class a few weeks ago and started to struggle immediately. He wasn't connecting with the teacher, didn't understand the material, and was getting really frustrated. In two sessions, Mitiku helped him learn the material he either missed or didn't understand. My nephew is now heading confidently into a make-up test tomorrow. Mitiku "really knows his stuff," according to my nephew!

Lynn, 19 lessons with Mitiku

Very Productive

Mitiku was engaged to help my son with pre-calculus HN at the end of his sophomore year. My son was struggling with his grades and was desperate for a quick turn around. He was able to achieve this with Mitiku's help in a short period of time. My son who is usually reluctant to tutoring took a liking to Mitiku's style of teaching from the very first class. Mitiku demonstrated lot of patience and expertise in explaining complex topics. Should a tutoring need arise again he will be our first choice.

Vipul, 7 lessons with Mitiku

Attentive

My son was struggling with geometry mid-year. Mitiku was patient and helped him follow through on concepts. My son really responded to his personality and approach. We really appreciated that he helped my son keep his head above the water on the assignments but was also able to give him the confidence to understand the concepts.

Karen, 31 lessons with Mitiku

Cares

Mitiku cares about his teaching. Currently, he is tutoring my Son in Algebra 2. My first observation, he cares a lot about teaching and my Son. He makes sure that my Son understands the subject. He is also very patient and knows how to interact with my teenage son.

Elizabeth, 2 lessons with Mitiku

Awesome tutor

Mitiku is a great tutor, very direct, and explains very clearly. His techniques are very reliable, easier to understand and each sessions are tailored to my son’s needs. After each sessions, my son understood the concept and build confidence to better perform both in formative and subjective assessments. My son’s grade improved tremendously. He is nice, patient, well organized and very intelligent! Meron
