Award-Winning Algebra Tutors serving Glendale, AZ

...of coaching and playing sports from youth leagues to the collegiate level. I have had the opportunity to teach many student-athletes and enjoy working sports analogies into some of my teaching to help athletes understand the material from a little different perspective. My faith and family are the two most important aspects of my life. As a Christian, I want to be the man, husband, and father God has called me to be. As a...

...Curriculum and Instruction. I have taught in the Gilbert Public Schools system for nine years. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Biology, Ecology, Genetics and Anatomy/Physiology. In my experience helping struggling students I have found that the best way to learn is to have fun while you are learning and to make it apply to the real world. I am a firm supporter of education, and I believe...

...being taught to him/her in a way that is conducive with his/her learning style. This is where a tutor, particularly one capable of recognizing this need, comes in. In my free time I like to watch movies and read. I also enjoy drawing and painting. When I’m feeling particularly adventurous, I like to go rockclimbing and skydiving (anything to get my adrenaline going!). I enjoy being outside, unless it’s terribly hot. And most of all,...

...challenge determining exactly where a student's understanding of a topic was faulty. Over time, however, I developed a keener sense for the hurdles that students sometimes face when learning, as well as the most efficient ways to overcome them. I also developed more patience and empathy through tutoring - I often remembered feeling the same confusion about a topic that my students were feeling the first time I had learned the material. The skills and...

...require that I explain these concepts differently; if a student learns by working through examples, verbal explanations, or learns through pictures, I can do that. At this phase, I believe patience is a crucial in order to ensure that students understand the material they need to know and at the same time not be overwhelmed by it. Outside of tutoring and college, I enjoy a collection of hobbies. I love playing violin and guitar, gardening,...

Whether you come to me for a single session or we meet every week for a semester, I believe the first step to success with tutoring is to work together to set clear expectations. This lets us work toward the same goal, and makes it simple to set milestones to get there. Any problem area in any subject can be broken into smaller and smaller pieces, until suddenly you realize there was never a problem...

...that it actually hurts their learning. In math especially, the topics build on each other and so a strong foundation is necessary to be successful. Aside from tutor-y stuff: I enjoy learning (coding, guitar, random trivial facts, etc), watching tv shows (such as 2 broke girls, House, Rick and Morty, Pretty Little Liars, Stitchers, and Bob's Burgers just to name a few). I also enjoy drawing, painting, reading, sculpting, sleeping, eating and hanging out with...

...and homework help, and I co-taught for language arts. After being laid off in Indiana, I moved to Arizona, where I began teaching in Phoenix. I taught 7/8 grade for one year and then moved to 6th grade, within the same school. I teach special education: math and writing, including co-taught math within the general education classroom. As I said, I love to learn. I earned my Bachelor's degree (2008) from Ball State University (in...

...to me. It is a way of thinking that helps people in their everyday lives. That concept is what drives me when I tutor. Formulas and equations have their use and value, but the critical thinking that can be gained from the study of math is much more important. I have had success in showing students from where the formulas come and encouraging a deeper understanding of the topic at hand. I believe education in...

...I grew up in poverty, but through hard work and the motivation of mentors and teachers, I overcame my circumstances. Because I myself know the cost of improving oneself and of overcoming one's circumstances, I expect nothing but hard work, determination, persistence, and a positive attitude. I'm not an unfair person. I don't expect for you to do all the work alone. I will learn whatever material you are learning with you.... To ensure my students...

...really keep track of their progress. I view tutoring as more of an exchange than traditional teaching; I believe my students and I can work together to solve any problem. When assisting with a writing assignment, for example, it will only be a temporary solution for me to simply pull out a red pen and begin editing. Instead, I prefer to have a conversation with the student to explain the "why" and "how" behind the...

...It is my goal to make all the material relevant and interesting. I want my students to be as excited as me to learn each and every class. While I currently teach college students professionally, I still really enjoy tutoring younger students. I have worked with students from kindergarten all the way to 12th grade, teaching math, computers, English, and Spanish. I look forward to my time working with students and will do everything I...

...how to speak, write and read English as well as how to enjoy academic subjects that they struggle in. I taught for Rio Salado Colleges for 17 years. I also worked for elementary schools as a teacher's aide. I generate enthusiasm in my methods of teaching. I am friendly and warm and my style is sincere and easy going. The students I undertake make major gains in their school assessments as I use different techniques...

...of material, and even behavioral/habilitation therapy including sibling interaction, self calming techniques and expressing his everyday wants and needs. To me, receiving a quality education is the key to opening the door to one's future. It creates the potential to reach goals and stir up motivation previously unknown. A good teacher has the power to change a child's life by showing them they are capable of reaching goals they never thought possible. Motivation like this...

...worked through my hurdles, I've picked up a lot of tips and tricks and I now know how to deal with unique challenges in a standardized system. It would be my pleasure to help others experiencing similar difficult situations. I have been a paraprofessional in Math classes on a high-school level (where I was in charge of lesson plans and teaching from grades 9-12), a private tutor for 10 years (elementary, middle, high school, and...

I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Washington University with a degree in International Studies, and am looking forward to spending some time in Phoenix while I take time off before law school. I tutored for two years in college, and my specialties include lower level math, English, writing, and the LSAT. In my free time, you can usually find me either on Camelback mountain, reading a book, or during basketball season, cheering on the Phoenix Suns!

I believe that this increases student confidence and ability be self-sufficient and successful with the student's education. In addition to academics, I enjoy hiking and spending time with my puppy. I also volunteer at the county animal shelter and work with hospice care providers for nursing and elderly people requiring extra assistance. I wish you...
