Ann Marie
6th Grade AP Language Composition Tutor • +27 Subjects
My decision to pursue a teaching career is because I have a strong desire to make a difference in the lives of my students. I see teaching as the best way to do this. I also have a strong love for learning and as an educator, having this quality is essential if one is to instill a love for learning in his/her students. I am helping students reach their fullest potential. I am laying the foundation for lifelong learning and achievement and to me that is the greatest job of all.I have taught a wide variety of students in both early childhood and elementary grades in both public and private settings. I have also helped colleagues prepare for different standardized exams such as the GRE, PRAXIS and the New York State teacher examination. My experiences have taught me a lot about what are best practices and how best to implement these best practices. They have taught me the value of being patient and the importance of differentiated instruction.I have my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Pace University. I also have a Masters in Science in Childhood Education (1-6). In addition, I have a 15-Credit Post Masters in Early Childhood Education (Birth-2nd Grade). I am able to tutor reading (comprehension, phonics); writing (style, grammar); math (number operations, measurement, geometry, problem solving, and number sense); science (biology, health, physiology, astronomy; weather, earth science); and social studies (civic engagement, geography and history).My favorite subjects to tutor are reading, writing and math. As an educator I take the time to get to know my students and what really interests them. I believe this is essential to learning how to best teach the students I am teaching or tutoring. It is important to help make the content relatable and accessible. This means getting to know my students and their learning styles.Outside of academia I enjoy doing yoga, reading, traveling and spending time with family and friends.
Adam
Conversational Spanish Tutor • +5 Subjects
Hi, I'm Adam. I'm 29 years old, and have recently moved back to the US from several years of living in Australia. I've had lots of experience doing many things over the years. I've always had a passion for digging into different skills and learning whatever I can get my hands on. I've also always had a knack for taking whatever I've learned and conveying it to new learners easily. I love the experience and process that comes with learning new things, and love to facilitate the excitement of learning & growth in others however I can.Some more personal details and credentials:have a major in Community Health with a focus on Health Education from Texas A&M University, as well as a Minor in Spanish Language. I have lived abroad in Seville, Spain, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, and have spent quite a bit of time in Mexico and Costa Rica throughout my life. I currently live in Texas, and am able to practice my Spanish regularly.I have over ten years of guiding youth groups during the summers in team building activities, ropes courses, and other challenging activities. I've worked with groups from ages 4 to 16 years old of all genders and backgrounds, and have experience with special needs and varied learning abilities as well. My last outdoor youth guiding position focused on middle school to high school aged expeditions, team building, rappel/abseil guiding, and overnight survival skills expeditions.I have a long background in emergency and wilderness medicine, and pursuing emergency services and search and rescue focuses is my main goal. I have completed the nationally registered EMT and Wilderness EMT courses, and wish to pursue either a Paramedics or Nursing degree next.I have travelled extensively throughout my life, especially during my twenties, and get extreme enjoyment in absorbing whatever I can about the cultures and languages belonging to wherever I find myself.During my three years in Australia I found myself around a lot of Brazilian friends, so I picked up a decent amount of Portuguese, and am currently starting to teach myself Arabic as well.I adore the outdoors and time spent adventuring in nature. Hiking, bushwhacking, swimming, surfing, climbing, SCUBA diving, wakeboarding, snow skiing, rappelling, ropes courses, cliff jumping, and the list goes on. If it involves being outside and something extreme, challenges me, and gets my heart rate going, I'm there.I have also been around martial arts for most of my life. I have a first degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do and a year or so of practice in Krav Maga regarding self defense & urban combatives. I started practicing Muay Thai ago it a year ago, have had one amateur fight, and am currently practicing Muay Thai and jiu jitsu.I have a long standing background in sports shooting and self defense tactics with firearms. I worked in private law enforcement for over a year, and have given private lessons to family and friends in self defense & basic firearms safety training.My longest and most persistent passion has a always been music. I began playing drums at the age of 9, and have been playing ever since. I took music lessons from then on throughout high school. During my years at school I captained my 5A high school drum line, played with strings and full wind orchestras, percussion ensembles, musicals, and solo performances at the Texas state level. Beyond that, I continued to play and teach myself, write and play live performances with various musicians, and have since been in a band for a few years with heavy doses of large live performances, studio recording time, and several tracks on Spotify.As you can see, I've gotten my hands on quite a few things over the years. I am absolutely an open book, so if you have any interests in any of these areas or any questions on my background, teaching styles, or anything at all, so not hesitate to reach out to me!My personal cell phone number is: (817)-964-9402

I am a graduate of Marquette University holding my bachelor of science degree in Biomedical Engineering and master of arts in philosophy. I have 9 years of experience tutoring and teaching students ages ranging from ages 6-20. My main area of expertise is computer science based subjects, but I have worked with students on every subject.When it comes to tutoring, I believe that each student learns best according to their own needs. Therefore, I work with the student to determine what works well and what doesn't beginning with what the student already knows and building from there.
Kelsey
Algebra Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a current undergraduate student pursuing my Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry and Nutrition. Additionally, I have completed Biology and Chemistry at both the Ordinary and Advanced Level as well as Spanish at the Ordinary level and so I mainly tutor Biology, Spanish and Chemistry. During my high school years, I often tutored and assisted my peers and younger sibling with whatever subjects they needed help with. Since I am fairly young, I believe that my tutoring style is more relatable to students younger or the same age as me. Personally, I love Biology and every time I learn something, I become more and more fascinated with how amazing nature is designed. I spend my downtime reading, playing the steelpan and cuddling with my dog.

Frequently Asked Questions
Computational mathematics focuses on developing algorithms and numerical methods to solve real-world problems using computers. While pure mathematics emphasizes theoretical proofs and abstract concepts, computational mathematics bridges theory and application by using numerical techniques to find approximate solutions to complex equations, optimize systems, and analyze data. Students learn not just how to solve problems mathematically, but how to implement those solutions efficiently on computers—making it highly practical for engineering, physics, finance, and data science fields.
Computational mathematics typically covers numerical analysis, linear algebra, differential equations, optimization, and approximation theory. Students learn techniques like solving systems of equations, numerical integration and differentiation, root-finding algorithms, and matrix operations. The field also includes scientific computing, where students apply these methods to simulate physical phenomena, process large datasets, and solve engineering problems. Many courses emphasize hands-on programming alongside mathematical theory, so students gain practical experience implementing algorithms.
Many students struggle to translate mathematical concepts into working code—understanding the theory is only half the battle. A tutor can help you see how abstract algorithms become concrete programs, showing you step-by-step how to break down mathematical problems into logical programming steps. Tutors can also help you understand why certain numerical methods work better than others for specific problems, and guide you through debugging code when implementations don't produce expected results. This bridges the gap between "knowing the math" and "being able to use it."
Strong problem-solving in computational mathematics requires breaking down complex real-world scenarios into manageable mathematical steps. The key is first understanding what the problem is asking, then identifying which computational method best applies—whether that's numerical integration, optimization, or solving differential equations. A tutor can help you develop this systematic approach: translating problem statements into mathematical notation, choosing appropriate algorithms, estimating reasonable answer ranges, and interpreting your computational results back in the context of the original problem. Building this problem-solving framework makes unfamiliar scenarios less intimidating.
Validating computational results is crucial since numerical methods produce approximations rather than exact answers. Tutors can teach you multiple verification strategies: checking if your answer satisfies the original equation, comparing results across different numerical methods to ensure convergence, analyzing error bounds, and testing with known simple cases where you can verify the answer independently. Understanding concepts like truncation error, rounding error, and convergence helps you develop confidence in your results and catch computational mistakes. This critical thinking skill separates competent computational mathematicians from those who simply run algorithms blindly.
Computational mathematics demands proficiency in multiple areas simultaneously: solid mathematical foundations, logical thinking for algorithm design, and programming skills. Students often struggle when any of these areas is weak, leading to frustration when they can't isolate the source of problems. A tutor can diagnose whether your challenges stem from unclear mathematical concepts, difficulty translating theory to code, inefficient algorithm choices, or debugging issues. By addressing these specific gaps rather than generic review, tutors help you build genuine understanding and confidence. Many students also benefit from learning the "why" behind algorithms rather than just memorizing them—this deeper conceptual grasp makes new topics feel more manageable.
Strong foundations in calculus, linear algebra, and introductory programming are essential for computational mathematics courses. You should be comfortable with derivatives, integrals, matrix operations, and basic algorithm logic. If you're finding computational mathematics difficult, gaps in these prerequisites are often the culprit. A tutor can quickly assess whether you need to strengthen foundational skills or if the issue is specifically with computational methods. Addressing prerequisites early saves time and prevents frustration later, allowing you to focus on new concepts with confidence.
