Award-Winning Calculus Tutors serving Sacramento, CA

...to move through the subject at the student's own pace. Mathematics is important not just because of its endless application and its role as the foundation of the sciences, but because the problem solving strategies and intellectual tool set required in learning math are supremely advantageous to every field of academic and professional life. It is a pleasure to help young minds acquire these skills and very fulfilling to watch a student go from 'I...

...Currently I am able to tutor in math, but soon I will be expanding that to include Computer Science, Chemistry, and Physics. My students tend to be pretty successful because I'm easy to get along with; I'm friendly and easygoing. I understand that school can be difficult and stressful - I've been there, and lived it, and been on both sides of the tutor/student relationship. I will move at your pace, and when you're having...

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...

...through hard work and some clever strategies that it is possible for anyone to be a successful student and a lifelong learner. I have spent many years working with other students to pass on the skills I've acquired so that they too may find success. I have worked extensively with grade school children in the areas of math and writing through my participation as an assistant teacher with the Visions 2000 Math & Reading Academy....

I am currently working as a tutor in Computer Science and Mathematics at American River College. I am also a father of two, with one on the way!

...so I could share my knowledge with many other students to help them succeed in school. Tutoring for me is comparable to engineering. I love both because I love to solve problems. I hope to teach students to be unafraid of solving problems as well. I tutor Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Trigonometry and Calculus. My favorite subject to tutor is Algebra 1. I like Algebra 1 because that is the beginning of solving equations and...

...I love to be curious about everything and to spark curiosity in others through teaching. My goal is not just to have you understand something, but to be able to have fun with it, be able to sit down, play around with the pieces, and by doing that learn something new about it. Learning is exploring: as a tutor I see myself as a guide, my job is to get you excited about the topic...

...and I have worked in a variety of roles at big companies as a data analyst, and statistician. My goal is to provide students with top quality tutoring by being attentive to their needs, and working as a team towards finding solutions. My teaching philosophy is to identify and strengthen areas of weakness, and encourage dedication to learning math because I firmly believe anyone can learn math! My hobbies are running, writing short stories, maintaining...

...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 of having a panic attack every time you look at a problem, or if you're in a STEM program and you are constantly worried that you don't belong there, I can help. I can also help...

...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 funny shaped room). So, I don't expect my students to love math because of its inherent beauty. They might, who knows? I just want to help them use math to achieve their own goals.

...developed a strong passion for assisting others inside and out of the classroom to reach successful academic goals. I believe having a strong foundation in education is important for future success in our careers and relationships. As a STEM major, I have focused on tutoring in math and sciences as I enjoy working through problems with my students in an engaging manner and finding which methods work for them. Along with tutoring, I am a...

I have a passion for math and science being an engineering major myself and is something I try to bring to each session. School can be challenging and difficult at times, however, I believe with the dedication, hard work, and the right help success is imminent. In addition, I have worked with a variety of students at different stages in their educational career as both a tutor for Sierra College and as a private tutor.

...such, I intensively studied: - the foundations of mathematics, including set theory, recursion theory, model theory, and theory of proofs, - philosophical logic, including modal logic, - philosophy of mathematics, - logic in computer science and artificial intelligence, - theory of computational complexity, - history of logic, as well as other areas of research with heavy reliance on formal methods, such as general algebra, tensor calculus, non-standard analysis, decision theory, game theory, probability, philosophy of language,...

...both learning and teaching so I am very excited for these tutoring opportunities! My philosophy has a lot to do with bringing the subject matter to life for the student and making sure they gain enthusiasm and confidence with the subject as they learn and work through the material. The specific needs for every student of course change because every one has unique learning capabilities and different ways of approaching and understanding the subject.

...of subjects, from Japanese to European History, I am most comfortable with Math and the Sciences. Although not particularly applicable to tutoring, I also have two California licenses regarding Real Estate; a Real Estate Salesperson License, and a Real Estate Trainee Appraiser License. I largely believe in the "Renaissance Man", and that a broad education creates well-rounded people who are able to tackle anything in life. During my free time, I enjoy reading fantasy novels,...

...to teach myself to be a good student because it wasn't always easy for me. The lessons I learned and experiences I've had helped me how to relate to someone that is struggling in school. I have tutored various subjects from high school math, calculus, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and psychology. The most success I've had with my students is to create as relax atmosphere with a bit of humor. My goal is to work with...

I believe math can and should be fun to learn. Whether it's terrible math jokes, bad math raps, or a video online that demonstrates the Pythagorean Theorem using Star Wars characters, it's always an interesting time learning from me!

...college that I realized this passion and strength were driving me towards education. Since then, I've enjoyed working with students of all ages and abilities to further their math skills. I believe that everyone has mathematical abilities and I enjoying working and watching these abilities grow and improve in students. In my free time, I enjoy running with my Border Collie/Lab mix, Sadya, and swimming laps. I tend to spend my evenings knitting or reading.

...fallen behind in some way and therefore lost confidence. My main goal as a tutor will be to restore their confidence in the subject by providing complete understanding of concepts as well as preparing them for the most complex examples so that they will not be caught off guard in the class. I also believe tutoring should be a cooperation with the student because they have the best understanding of what their class will demand.

...are, and by lifting the curtain on the intricacies of the subject matter. I believe that learning is, and ought to be, for its own sake. Math and philosophy, and their nuanced interactions, are my great passions. I've run more 5ks and 10ks than I can count, but the validation of completing a long race is nothing like the satisfying moment of writing "Q.E.D." on a difficult proof. I'm a scholar of the Western canon,...
