Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in The Woodlands, TX

...modalities of learning (verbal, visual, and kinesthetic), and even just providing alternative verbiage/vocabulary when describing a subject a subject can be the difference between a subject sticking in a student's head or the concept flying right past them and landing on the wall at the back of the room. Outside of academia, I continue to be a Boy Scout at heart, with a love for the outdoors and all things nature. I am also an...

...their specific needs and goals. I previously taught high school for several years and also have tutoring experience in a wide variety of subject areas. At this time, I focus almost exclusively on assisting students seeking top scores on graduate admissions exams, including the GRE, GMAT and LSAT. In my free time I enjoy watching all kinds of sports, reading, playing board games, going to concerts, and spending time with my friends, family, and 4-pound...

...I find that teaching children struggling in these subjects new ways of approaching their topic, whether a historical event or a classic novel, greatly improves comprehension, enjoyment of the subject, and test scores. Simply providing a new context for learning can create a better understanding that turns a weak subject into a strength. With all my students, I emphasize a balance between memorized aspects like vocabulary, and analytical skills that demonstrate a more thorough knowledge...

I prefer tutoring students 1-on-1 because it allows me to devote all of my resources towards helping him/her. 1-on-1 tutoring also...

...I'd answer while visiting my old school teachers on career days. In science, there are no stupid questions, nor are there unqualified pupils. You don't have to have an interest in science to appreciate its achievements or to contribute to its progress, you simply need to be human - that is, to be curious. I know that modern science can seem a wholly complicated and vast subject matter that seems insurmountable. While that reputation is...

...of Arts in Mathematics. I love helping others with math and getting a glimpse of how different students learn. Too many times in math courses, students are overloaded with definitions and theorems and sent off to apply them alone. I understand that not everyone can read math and sometimes need to see math in use in order to understand a concept well. I'm all about learning, rather than memorizing. Math builds on itself so if...

...student so that learning is fun, engaging and meaningful. For me, learning is not about drilling memorization facts. My ultimate goal with students is to make a connection with them and bring alive pre-algebra, phonics, the questioning mechanics of the SAT - whatever the student is learning. When a connection is made, we can bridge the gaps and make learning fun and lasting. Everyone can be a math person, everyone can love grammar, everyone can...

...was my favorite subject. In high school, I took honors classes and was able to test out of the first course of calculus so I could begin on the second course when entering college. I have experience teaching students courses such as Algebra and Geometry. In addition, I have extensive experience editing papers and articles as well as helping improve an individual's writing skills. I was an Articles Editor on Law Review and assisted professionals...

I also love giving helpful hints and shortcuts on solving certain equations. I think that I am a very flexible person when it comes to my tutoring style. I know that everyone learns differently and it is my duty to do everything in my power to help my students...

Interests: -Reading and creative writing such as short stories, poetry, and even fanfiction! -Singing: I hope to resume voice lessons soon! -Jogging -Watching...

...quickly that I really enjoyed working with others and can creatively think of different ways to explain key concepts to make them easier to understand. I continued this passion when I went to Austin for college, working as an undergraduate researcher, mentor, and preceptor for biochemistry. I worked with my professors to organize and conduct weekly study sessions and reviews before exam days. Following graduation, I decided to postpone my plans of going on to...

...motivating. Students need to be motivated and need to gain a positive attitude towards mathematics. Most of the time, students fail to realize that a positive attitude is the key to unlock the potential that rests inside the students of today. Once students unlock that potential, their boundaries will be limitless. I will help guide them to enhance their potential so that success will happen. Thank you and have a great day!

...Statistics. Additionally, I received a B.A. in Photography from Sam Houston State University, graduating Cum Laude. I started tutoring in 2009 and have helped students with a variety of math classes; everything from Pre-algebra to Differential Equations.

They realize that things aren't as complex as they were originally thinking. I emphasize showing the rules of math. So often students get confused on...

My training from OK State has equipped me with the skills to work with students who have trouble staying engaged in his/her learning. I am very adept in English, as that was my undergraduate minor. The subjects I have experience with are English, writing, science, math history, and social studies. I use multiple ways...

My influences have been mostly Christian hymns, Southern Gospel, and Country-Western genres. I welcome your questions and curiosity, and I enjoy helping others to gain...

...belief that I cannot truly master something until I can teach it to others. Thus, I view tutoring as an essential component of the learning process. With respect to my tenure as a tutor at the Undergraduate Scholars, this has certainly been the case. From helping to ease students of their confusion in the lab, to leading review sessions in front of spacious lecture halls, my experiences as a tutor have augmented my interpersonal as...
