Award-Winning AP Calculus BC Tutors serving Sacramento, CA

...teacher for 10 years; I love math and I love teaching! I totally get it: for most people, the end-goal of studying math isn't to become a mathematician or to fall deeply in love with division and derivatives. For most people, math is just a tool that they need to use (or study) to achieve a goal (becoming a doctor) or to accomplish a task (figuring out how much paint you need to paint that...

I am a future medical student and recent engineering graduate, and I look forward to working with students in math and science.... During a first session, I would talk with the student about their academic goals, and also discuss learning strategies that have worked well for them in the past.... I like to focus on big picture objectives. I believe it is more important to understand the foundations of a process and the overarching idea, rather...

...Applied Mathematics at the University of California, Davis. I believe the most important quality in a tutor is patience. Everyone is capable of being great at math, but math is a very difficult and abstract topic, and the only sure path to success is through continuous effort. A tutor must have the patience to move through the subject at the student's own pace. Mathematics is important not just because of its endless application and its...

...from a mechanical engineering program on a full scholarship, I didn't always like math and science. It can take a lot of effort to "click" with these kinds of subjects, but once you do, it's a surprisingly rewarding experience. (Yes, I am a huge nerd now. See photo.) You just need to break down the problems, recognize patterns, and apply the concepts. So if you're just required to take a math course and you're sick...

My teaching experience so...

...at Yale University, with a prospective double major in Mathematics and History. I strive to bring students toward their lightbulb moments not by repeating facts until they're drilled in, but by helping my students understand precisely why the laws of science, the rules of grammar, and the events of history are the way they are, and by lifting the curtain on the intricacies of the subject matter. I believe that learning is, and ought to...

Providing guidance in science and mathematics to help students understand the real-world applications of scientific and mathematical concepts in their everyday lives. I have a B.S.E. in Aerospace Engineering and a B.S. in Sustainable Energy Materials and Technology, and I am pursuing my M.S. in Aerospace Engineering.... Learning science and mathematics through real-world applications that show how concepts can actually be used to solve real problems.... I'd ask them about topics they feel uncomfortable with, as...

I love to teach. I love young minds and fresh brains. Those are just like clean sheets of papers I can draw anything I like. I really like to help young people to achieve their full capacities with my long experience of teaching. I am very patient and good at explaining complex concepts in simple terms. I am looking forward to meeting students who need my help.

...statistics. I have a Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Virginia: the school Thomas Jefferson built. I tutored students when I was an undergraduate math major and I continued tutoring students when I was in graduate school. I have 13 years experience teaching at the college level. I have taught all undergraduate level math courses, especially probability and statistics. All total, I have taught about 300 math and statistics courses I then worked over...

...Mathematics degree and I am seeking fellowship as an actuary. I have always enjoyed helping my peers in classes with unclear teaching methods, which led me to tutor at a young age in my K-12 school, then in college. The cumulative nature of math poses challenges to many students, and I like to find ways to connect the dots to help my students have a better grasp of difficult concepts. While I have tutored a...

...in mathematics at the CUNY Graduate Center, with research interests in algebraic topology and category theory. I am also an instructor at Brooklyn College, where I have taught introductory college math courses for the past year. My interests in mathematics are broad, and I tutor at all levels. I completed my BA at Swarthmore College in 2014, and that is also where I began tutoring, primarily through the math department. I have tutored college-aged students...

...same shoes of many Varsity Tutors' students. I was struggling to learn my subjects and preparing for the SAT standardized test. I came from a rural high school (DuBois, PA) with no AP classes as well as no Honors classes. I was projected that engineering would be too difficult for me and that I should pursue something less rigorous. I ended up graduating with a Honors degree in chemical engineering and a minor in mathematics...

...from McNeese State University with eight months' experience in tutoring math at a tutoring center. I love to tutor students at any grade or competency level. Calculus, statistics, precalculus, geometry, and algebra are among the subjects I can teach. It's great to make math interesting for students by helping them understand the fundamental concepts.
