Five Stars Tutoring
About
Our approach is to get students to enjoy learning the principles and theorems as they apply to real life situations. We always found this technique effective when we share scenarios where the topics and solutions could be applied in real life.
Our overall teaching philosophy is Educational Essentialism. We believe in this traditional subject-centered philosophy where the students mind is trained to digest a series of progressively difficult topics that equips and enables the student to embrace the challenges of attaining the next level of academic and intellectual growth.
We are excited to facilitate this process with students that we tutor as we derive a good amount of satisfaction bringing value to the learning experience of our students.

How did you get started teaching?
As an engineering student, I started out helping my two younger siblings with their high school homework in Math, Physics and several science subjects. Their friends quickly joined the study group and I eventually found myself tutoring a group of 6 to 12 graders that quickly grew from 10 to 50 students. As a college senior, I was tutoring a group of two dozen freshmen students College Physics, College Math, and Applied Mechanics.
As a graduate assistant, I tutored college freshmen and sophomore students Math and Physics. I tutored all the topics in Algebra, Geometry, Statistics, Calculus, Mechanics and Fluid.
What types of students have you worked with?
We work with all types of students
