“I tutor because I love helping students find those “light bulb” moments where they feel like math clicks and they understand what they’re doing. I love when I am able to support a student alongside their classroom teacher and give the extra support they need to find success. It’s much easier to slow down and focus on areas where a student needs extra time in a one-on-one setting. It’s also a great exercise (for both tutor and student) in patience, persistence, and learning & communication styles!”
Keoni Ng
“I tutor because I love to help students grow better every day and find the true meaning to why they want to learn about the world. As a language learner and English teacher I understand through first hand experience the struggles of trying to grasp a concept I can’t understand. The ability to help students through this struggle and better themselves is something that pushes me to be the best teacher I can be. I really enjoy one on one environments with students because my teaching style lends itself well to having a genuine conversation with the student while they learn.”
Jin Chen
“The satisfying smiles from the students always encourage me to continue assisting the students on what they need in math and science. To me, math is not only about numbers and equations. It develops problem solving skills in real life and opens up the possibilities. Science helps us to understand and explain the phenomena we see daily. I would love to pass my passion about math and science to the students and support their success.”

"I teach because education is at the heart of social mobility. Education provides a solid starting point from which people can better themselves and their communities."
Carole Edwards
“I love to see the 'AHA' moments when students are connecting with the material - not just because they got the right answer, but because they truly understand the concepts and steps necessary to get there. I invite students to watch, learn, practice and reflect on the lesson. I like to go over what was easy and what was difficult, working together through the tough spots and giving lots of encouragement and positive feedback. The one-on-one or small group environment lends itself nicely to personalized tutoring and support. I enjoy getting to know each student while customizing the lessons and helping them apply what they've just learned.”
Noah Sorscher
"I teach because it's so rewarding to help students, and to share in their triumph when they learn new skills. As a life-long learner myself, I relish the transformative benefits of a sound education. It is a privilege to usher a new generation of citizen scientists through the superbly fulfilling experience of understanding, connecting with and respecting the order of our universe and its inhabitants."
