ACT Math

ACT Math

During my elementary school years, I was bored with the school curriculum and advanced beyond the standards by up to three years. Since high school, I was tutoring other students in their algebra, geometry, and calculus courses. I am also flexible in starting from the bare foundations from setting up a number line to looking at how to find slopes on a graph. My approach focuses on providing students a concrete, visual approach to understanding otherwise dense, abstract math concepts. Specifically, I meet students where they are and help them to achieve new knowledge by scaffolding their current knowledge towards their course content goals.
ACT Science

ACT Science

I have 5+ years of experience teaching K-12 science as well as undergraduate chemistry (general, organic, inorganic - including labs). I have also tutored algebra, calculus, physics, and materials science. In addition, I have taught a full year of college chemistry online during remote learning, so I am familiar with effective online education.

Microsoft Windows

Microsoft Windows

I have used Microsoft Windows since I was a child, and I can navigate the computer with minimal use of the mouse. Because of this, tasks that would normally take someone an hour may take me 30 minutes or less. I take advantage of keyboard shortcuts, and I hope to translate these skills to those whom I tutor. I have extensive experience using Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint.

Physics / AP Physics - my kids now love the subject

Winn has been working with my 9th grader and 11th grader, tutoring physics and AP physics for about a month now. He is a thorough and thoughtful tutor. My kids have two different courses - one taught in a traditional manner and another in a non-traditional way. Additionally, my kids have completely different learning styles. One is an athlete who is quiet when it comes to learning, so information needs to be drawn out. The other is curious and hungry to learn, which often sends the mind in many directions. He is able to work well with them both. This is evidenced in their class performance. Our home has less stress around quizzes and test-taking. Grades have improved by at least 1/2 letter grade. Both kids are receiving A's in their coursework. More importantly to me, both really seem to enjoy science now. One is considering becoming a science teacher, all thanks to Winn.

Amazing Tutor

My son loves Winn, he leaves every session feeling very confident in subject matter. He is able to make material very simple and comprehensible and can relate to high school students very well.

Roxann, 8 lessons with Winn

Knowlegeable and Patient Tutor

Winn was great helping my daughter study for her High School Chemistry Final exam. He showed her a new way to balance equations. He was patient and nice with her. He also sent her a link for her to study after the session ended which was very nice of him.

Roxann, 8 lessons with Winn

excellent

Explain in detail, knowledgeable. We really like his teaching. He gave us the tutor during the trip, very flexible. We use his tutoring again

Jessica, 1 lesson with Winn

Very professional and knowledgeable

My 17 year old only met him only once and I was already impressed with Wynn. He is a great communicator. As a parent this is extremely important. He follows through in a timely manner. My son really liked his first session with him. He told me that Wynn would not give him the answers to problems but provided clues so that he could come up with correct answers. I hope we continue to be happy with Wynn.

Fazilet, 3 lessons with Winn

Knowledgeable and effective tutor

Maximizes the use of time and breaks down concept so you better understand. He reviewed and help edit my chemistry proposal. Available on short notice. Highly recommend!

Blanca, 1 lesson with Winn

He was Awesome

I’ve a few sessions with Winn and each of them have been amazing. He is quick to help but leads you to solve the problem on your own instead of doing it for you. He is also very good at working out problems that are not in his expertise and is able to solve the problem with you. I look forward to working with him in the future!

Riley, 3 lessons with Winn

Fantastic tutor

Friendly, great communication regarding scheduling, and excellent instruction. Always helps me understand the material more comprehensively and helps prepare me for exams.

Gabriel , 3 lessons with Winn

Amazing Ochem Tutor

I'm a student at UC Berkeley and after having trouble trying to grasp many of the concepts of Ochem 2(chem 3b at berkeley) by myself I decided to reach out for tutoring help. Winn was such a responsive and amazing tutor! He was always welcome to help and even would try to solve problems we couldn't figure out during the session during his free time. He was patient and walked me through many of the problems I came up with and made me feel thoroughly prepared for the all the exams I had to take. I was so worried I was going to fail the class but with his help I was ready for any question my professors gave me!
