About Peter

Hi! I'm an experienced (3+ years experience) tutor currently in my third year of two bachelor degrees--Mechanical Engineering and Mathematics--at Rice University. I've worked with students of all ages with a strong focus on math and science tutoring as well as ACT test prep. Having received a perfect 36 on every ACT section myself, I know the strategies necessary to improve a test score. I love tutoring because it gives me a chance to explain concepts the way I wish I were taught them! I've found this leads to the strongest explanations and the best results.

I always loved spending time with younger children- they are full of ideas and often enjoy learning new things. That, coupled with my own love for learning, made me eager to start teaching as soon as I was old enough! And through my experience teaching at a local learning center, I realized I could teach concepts not only to younger kids, but also to some of my own peers. Since then, I've been teaching as much as I can, because there are very few things more satisfying than when a student has an 'A-ha!' moment. 



I am currently a Senior in high school, and have studied math, physics, and english at the highest levels I can. Using this knowledge, I've had over two years of experience tutoring math at a local learning center. Over those few years, I've been able to figure out the best ways to communicate with kids at different levels. 

I have experience online as well, both as an instructor and as a student. I have taken many online courses, so I know many good strategies for how to teach online. 

When it comes to specific education, I have studied Math all the way through the AP Calculus BC curriculum, Physics through the AP Physics C content, and English through the AP English material. All of these subjects I've studied at the college level. In addition, I earned a perfect score on every ACT subject after self-studying.

I will talk to the student for a little while before starting on any work. I want to make sure I can get a good idea of where their skill level is, so we don't waste time learning things that are too easy or too complicated. 

After I learn about them and about their grasp on the subject, I will suggest a topic to start with and go from there!



I've instructed a variety of students, generally in the age range of 7-12. These kids sometimes are behind and need help getting back on track, but I've also worked with kids who are accelerated and are learning well beyond their level. However, I can help older students as well, and I have experience even helping my peers in high school with homework and difficult concepts. 



The best advice I can give is to know your strengths. Regardless of teachers, grades, or other metrics, you know what you are best at. And even in subjects that are difficult, I know there are some parts that come easily to you. My goal is to take those little things that you are good at, and to expand them until the entire subject is clear. If we can do that, you will learn concepts with minimal frustration.

Also, never be embarrassed to ask questions. Asking questions is the greatest tool of learning. 



A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Know what you're good at, and what you struggle with. If you can tell me what you're best at and what is most difficult, we can learn much more effectively. 
Also, make sure you understand things conceptually, rather than just robotically following some formula. Sometimes you can't understand something fully, and that's ok. But if there's something that you understand HOW to do, but not WHY to do it, that's a sign you should ask about it.

Details

I charge a flat rate of $25 per hour of instruction. This cost includes not only the time I spend actually instructing a student, but also the time I spend outside of our sessions finding materials I can use to assist in teaching. I care about my students and will spend as much time as necessary to help them learn content!
