...with their own abilities is the best thing a tutor can ask for. For mathematics, I've taken up to Calculus BC in high school, and Multivariable Calculus at UCR. I understand the concepts, but I can also explain them using applicable examples. Really, math is like a language; you need to know the basics before you get speaking fluently. Math can be difficult, but it can be even more fun once you get it. To...

...day become a researcher and professor. One of the things I love is making others more knowledgeable and passionate about math and science through scientific communication and tutoring. I am most passionate to tutor Calculus, Linear algebra, and ACT/SAT Math. I believe that the biggest obstacles to learning Math are 1. judgmental social environments and 2. inexperience with the multidimensional nature of math. As such, I foster an open environment where all mathematical questions and...

I have also helped students study and prepare for the PSAT and SAT math sections. It is my belief that, in addition to the raw information presented, math and science courses teach crucial analytical skills that can be utilized by anyone in whichever path of life they choose to pursue. For...

Hello! I have over 10 years of experience tutoring and teaching math. I've taught everyone from elementary school students to adults, in subjects ranging from arithmetic to graduate level mathematics. I graduated from UCBerkeley with a BA in applied math, and from SFSU with a MA in math. ... Whenever helping a student, I make sure to show them every step of the process, working them not only through the technical details but also my thought...

...nice. I think it is important to help students solve the problems for their immediate assignments but it is also important to help students develop better study skills or habits that improve their abilities to utilize tools that will help them master their material and ultimately become less dependent on a tutor.
