Award-Winning Math Tutors for Students in Bellevue, WA

...help students connect the dots, enabling them to master the material and themselves as they improve their study skills and self-confidence. I have worked with students of all ages in a variety of subjects and settings, from all backgrounds in this country and others. I have found, consistently, that the best way to connect is to be genuine and sincere with enthusiasm for the material and compassionate consideration for the learner. It is a pleasure...

...interpersonal relationships in academia. I enjoy tutoring students who have an interest in mathematics or demonstrate a willingness to learn. I myself started very slowly in intermediate college math courses, but gradually the subject matter was known with practice, which eventually enabled me to appreciate math as an art. I see this work as a mutual advantage and I intend to pursue graduate studies by fall at the University of Washington while hoping to learn...

...have taught middle school for 17 years and try to pass on my love of learning to each and everyone of my students.

...at the age of 30 to study music theory. While fulfilling the degree requirements, I found that I had been mistaken, and I was in fact capable of achieving a level of academic success which I had never believed possible. I have since graduated from Skagit Valley College with an AA in Music and an AA in art, and from the University of Washington with a BS in Electrical Engineering. While tutoring at Skagit Valley...

...from various perspectives. Even if a few years from now, you cannot quite remember how to graph an equation, at one point you thought through how to present information in a form that is easier to visually interpret. The exact meaning of "prestidigitation" might elude you some day, but if you ran across this word on the SAT or the GRE, you likely had to learn how to infer tone and meaning using limited information....

...calculus. I enjoy helping people learn and grow, and over my time teaching I found I got the most enjoyment (and was also the most effective) in smaller group and one-on-one sessions. I try to teach through Socratic questioning and encouraging autonomy in my students, as independence is a crucial step to true understanding of subject material. I also try to teach concepts rather than questions, as being able to answer a question will answer...

...Magic School Bus and the Bill Nye show. I majored in Neuroscience and Behavior in college, so I learned a lot about Biology and Psychology, and I plan on getting a Master's in Bioengineering.

In my spare time I enjoy playing harp and guitar, learning...

I think the biggest key to helping someone reach their goals is understanding their true motivation, and showing...

...students in a variety of life sciences curricula . Teaching (more importantly, educating!) is my passion. I believe that teaching statistics and math should result in real-world, useful applications of the material. I use a socratic method of questions/answers to encourage critical thinking and problem solving skills. I am also a retired professional fire fighter with over 29 years of fire service. In my spare time I enjoy riding my Harley-Davidson on long road trips,...

...in order to support, challenge, teach and reach outcomes. I am experienced in building lessons based on the individual needs and learning style of each student. Having taken both in person and online classes myself I have learned that Intentional teaching along with open ended, hands-on experiences make for later successes. Outside of the academic world I enjoy hiking, swimming, painting, watching scary movies with my teenage daughter and cruising with my top off in...

...new problem. While I am here to help students do better in their classes I am also here as a mentor for schooling in general. I am always willing to help out with students who need more help outside of their classes. If there is a non-academic issue that arises while tutoring I will always do my best to help the student through because I believe that if the student is distracted he will not...

Hello! My name is Kate, and I have 10 years of experience as a tutor and as an informal educator. I love connecting with students and helping them grow.

...this means is building up the analytical skills that they will need to prepare and study for assignments and tests when they're going to go to college. There's only so much one can do in teaching the content that we also need to teach our students how they can become their own teachers and succeed on their own. Hence, I want my students not just to do well in their math classes or exams, but...

...recent graduate from the University of Washington where I earned by Bachelor's Degree in Biology. I have experience working with students from the kindergarten level to undergraduates at universities. I tutor English, writing, science, study methods, and mathematics. When working with new students, the first thing I always do is try to understand how each student learns because each individual is different and everyone learns in a unique way. In my free time, I enjoy...

...I love experimenting, building projects like soda bottle water rockets, and working for and with wildlife by cleaning up their habitats and raising trout from eggs for release as fry (juvenile fish). Math is exciting to tutor, especially using manipulatives and other forms of representation-we can do that visually online as we work together. Reading for fun is one of my hobbies, but I know how to inspire struggling readers and teach them techniques for...
