Award-Winning ASPIRE Tutors serving Baltimore, MD

...NGO. I taught math, computer science and english speaking skills. This is why Mathematics is my favourite subject to tutor. I am also comfortable tutoring for standardised tests such as the GRE and SAT. My goal is not merely to teach facts and formulas but rather to help the student develop the intuition behind them. I value critical thinking and problem solving skills and that is what I would like to teach my students as...

...ever since I got my Bachelor's Degree, including during my time at JHU, in subjects ranging from basic arithmetic to differential equations. My teaching philosophy is "math is easy"; my goal is to make sure you understand why math is intuitive and natural, so that it's easy for you, too. In my spare time, I like to to solve math puzzles (yeah, I know I'm a nerd), play video games and board games, and watch...

...students over the years has taught me crucial elements of both aspects and I am very anxious and excited to bring my skills to your learner to maximize his or her potential. Finally, when I'm not teaching or tutoring you can find me outdoors hiking, biking, skiing or on the water. I love reading, travel and sports. I'm loyal to my childhood teams from growing up in Pittsburgh. I very much enjoy my work at...

...is tailored to each of my students depending on their needs. I really like to focus on what it is that you need and hope to achieve and go forward from there! In my free time I like to hang out with my two rescue dogs and spend as much time outside a possible. I've recently gotten into kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding. I also love hiking and checking out Baltimore's food scene as often...

...builds confidence and independence. Also, I have also been tutored myself so I know how it feels to sit on the other side of the desk! Overall, my approach is based on dialogue and respect, lots of humor and out-of-the-box creativity (ask me about the most grammatical pop song ever written), and genuine engagement in student success. In my spare time I am hanging with my family, jamming on piano, renovating my home, and getting...

...in an understandable way, everyone is the lesser for it. I think the ability to write a strong essay or speech not only reflects a solid grasp of a particular subject and competent research, it also suggests the writer knows their voice and the value in it, and can declare this conviction with volume (literally and metaphorically). A person who can write is a person who can impact their community. I developed this philosophy during...

...also understand writerly paralysis, and we can work on strategies for creating a action plan for your writing. Come to me with your large writing projects, but also something simple such as a response paper or journal--with a few tools, we can make writing a stress-free process of personal expression. I am also available for personal essay writing, resume writing, screenwriting/creative writing, and application writing. I am a huge movie buff--in fact I regularly teach...

...why I believe it is so important. In my proverbial "body" of support, my mother is the heart. She often recites this quote: "the size of one's success is measured by the strength of their desire and how they handle disappointment along the way." I found this to be true when, three years ago, I unexpectedly became very ill. It felt like I lost all of the progress I worked so diligently to make in...

...online charter school in Hawaii for 12 years. I have been at the forefront of online teaching and curriculum development in STEM fields for the last six years. I am the lead teacher in developing an entire STEM institute within the online academy that I currently work for. This institute includes a battery of courses in physics, advanced mathematics, computer science, and electricity/electronics. I have over 10 years of teaching experience in all fields of...

...have a PhD in Education Curriculum and Instruction. I have been in education for the last 8 years. I started off as a substitute and tutor for a school district. I also worked as a Math Tutor for my college. I was able to help and shape the minds of students with the concepts of mathematics both at the high school and college level. It is important to me to help others who need extra...

...second highest in the state of Colorado. According to nationally normed standardized testing, the average student in my reading/writing classroom that completes the work with me grows approximately two years in their abilities in one academic year. As a bilingual educator (I speak Spanish and English), I am able to assist a diverse group of students with a variety of literacy concerns from phonics and language acquisition all the way to essay composition and literature analysis....

...of teaching experience, I taught ESL at a high school in Thailand, I co-taught Environmental Education to middle school students in Cameroon (in French), and I also tutored middle school students in math and Spanish while I was in high school. I have spent the past year in study groups with my peers, and feel very comfortable explaining complex concepts step by step to students of all ages. I am happy to answer any questions...

Thanks to one-on-one help in middle and high school, I not only achieved stronger grades/test scores, but gained the confidence I will continue to use even beyond graduate school. I hope to give others the same invaluable tool set!... The ways I've always preferred to learn myself are typically the ways I teach. Once it seems like a student has a pretty strong understanding of a subject, I like to play competitive or timed games. It...

...to be able to adjust accordingly. I pride myself on being able to adapt my teaching/tutoring style to meet student needs. This includes: being patient with students as they work through problems in their own way, being resourceful and prepared in order to respond to students' questions as they arise, and being enthusiastic with the subject material so as to maintain the students' interest. With these traits and characteristics as the backbone of my teaching/tutoring...

...and listening to music. Not only are these two things that I love, but I actually completed two research projects in college focused on math and music and math and sports. One of the reasons I love math is because it can be applied to almost anything. Showing students how math can be applied to the real world and how it can be useful in their own lives really helps students stay engaged with the...

...to be somewhere or do something that I have not yet achieved. I believe it is this drive that allows me to pursue my passions, both academically and socially, and to be successful in both. I find that my greatest happiness comes in the form of little victories such as a good grade on an exam, or making a friend laugh! Its because of this that I really slow down and try to appreciate every...

This gives me a special perspective on ALL learners and helps me tailor the best course of...

...Virtual School where I tutored over 150 hours in Pre-Calculus, Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, and Chemistry. I love to teach because it lets me share my enthusiasm for mathematics and science with other students and helps me get a deeper understanding of material that is useful for my higher level mathematics and physics courses. As a tutor, I break down complicated problems into manageable concepts so students can gain confidence in solving these problems...

...anything I do. I am a big proponent of thinking outside the box. In tutoring, my motto is "teach a student to fish and they possess improved test-taking skills for a lifetime." Specializing in ACT/SAT test preparation as well as Mathematics, I carry with me, aside from a substantial knowledge of all subjects, a "bag of tricks" made up of pneumonic devices, preparation skills, and exercises in focus/concentration. With any session, my goal is to...
