Anisha
Algebra Tutor • +10 Subjects
My first tutoring experiences revolved around my younger brother and cousins- mainly tutoring them in middle school math and science. Since then, I have gone on to tutor and help students in high school, college, and graduate school. No matter the subject or the age of the student, I always focus on understanding HOW the student learns. I do this so that I can adjust my teaching style to most effectively help the student.I obtained my undergraduate degree in biochemistry at Florida State University. I received my PhD in Biochemistry and Cell Biology from Rice University in December 2016. While at Rice, I was a teaching assistant for undergraduate genetics and graduate molecular biophysics. During this time, I was also a co-creator and mentor for the Institute of Bioengineering and Biosciences Girls STEM Initiative- a three year program where rising high school sophomore girls are engaged and mentored in STEM fields.Overall, I hope to empower students by helping them achieve better subject understanding and higher test scores.

I am currently a medical student in Philadelphia, PA. I earned my Bachelors degree in Cognitive Science and my Master's degree in Behavioral Science with a concentration in Health Behavior.I love helping to bring a student's ideas to life through writing. I enjoy working to understand the student's perspective and then bringing the ideas together on paper. I also love grammar and the detailed process of reviewing writing. I have been a writing tutor and copy editor. I have also written and published numerous blog posts and online articles. I currently run my own blog about women's soccer, and I am a coauthor on a book released in January 2021.I began my teaching and tutoring experience working for Kumon, which is an after school math and reading program. I worked as a tutor for both math and reading education after completing the entire reading curriculum. I then volunteered as a high school math tutor in the West Philadelphia public school system where I worked with high schoolers in an after school program. Most recently, I have worked as a copy editor and writing editor for various bloggers and publishers.
Conner
ACT Math Tutor • +16 Subjects
I began tutoring some of my classmates when I was a sophomore in high school. As the years went on I helped more and more people especially in science and math subjects. Back then I really enjoyed it because I was able to help them out while it also helped me study at the same time. Now I study Biology and Business Management at Brigham Young University and continue to help friends and classmates.A lot of my goal is to help people set and accomplish goals in their academic lives, to push oneself a bit more than they thought they could.

I attended the George Washington University and earned a Bachelor's of Science degree in the field of Statistics. I am working towards a Master's degree in Teaching. At George Washington University, I was employed by the Statistics Department as a tutor working during their office hours. I tutored Statistics, but I am also comfortable tutoring Algebra I, Algebra II, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus I, Calculus II, and Calculus III. My favorite subject to tutor is Statistics. As a tutor I believe that it is my job to bring enthusiasm and positivity to all my sessions. I also like to ask my students a lot of questions to ensure that they are understanding the material. My hobbies include improv comedy, watching football, and yoga.
Jeremy
AP Chemistry Tutor • +8 Subjects
I am a veteran college chemistry professor with a Ph.D. from Yale who has taught Organic Chemistry and General Chemistry I many times. I have also taught Introductory Chemistry to students who had never had chemistry before and also a General, Organic, and Biochemistry course for health professions. I look at chemistry as a set of skills to be learned, similar to learning a sport or a musical instrument. I can show you what to do, but to really learn you need to do things yourself.

Computer Programming Tutor • +3 Subjects
I enjoy learning and teaching, it is always fun!I'm a geospatial scientist, I like to share my scientific passion with students and early career professionals as there are so many tools and resources that can make a difference in that early stages.My favorite topics are programming, remote-sensing (geography), chemistry, and math.About me:I'm an environmental engineer with a master's degree in geography focused on geospatial technologies, and currently, I'm finishing my doctorate in ecology and evolutionary biology.My main work consists in using satellite data and site level information to calculate the carbon and water fluxes. This helps us to monitor the growth of the crops, the amount of water and nutrients they use, and also, it helps us to identify and detect droughts.In my career, I've specialized in water resources as they are limited and crucial for us, remote-sensing and programing because they let us explore the earth and can be applied in multiple fields, and the combined use of water modeling and remote sensing that is important in topics like agriculture.

Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +25 Subjects
I first become interested in Teaching when I was 18 years old. I remember I had the amazing opportunity to be part of a lecture given by the best historians in my country. His sites and examples drove to be a passionate student in Languages including Spanish and English and later on started this quest to become an educator and never-ending learner.Since then I completed my Certificates and Degrees with Cambridge University on Proficiency in English, Spanish and Methodology and Pedagogy. I have been conducting sessions with multilevel students from different countries and backgrounds for more than 20 years.When I define a student I believe it is important to make my learning interesting and creative by personalizing activities and creating immersion atmospheres so that my learners can apply this situations into their every day lives. I have utterly concluded that students have multiple intelligences and that every one of us has the potential to be gifted, but this can present itself in many different ways. We as educators are the tools to trigger those endless talents by having the most appropriate learning style which best suits their intelligence.

Frequently Asked Questions
First grade science introduces students to foundational concepts across life, earth, and physical science. Common topics include living things and their habitats, seasons and weather patterns, basic properties of materials, simple machines, the five senses, and how plants and animals grow and change. The curriculum emphasizes hands-on exploration and observation skills rather than memorization, helping students develop curiosity about the natural world.
Science tutors break down abstract concepts into concrete, observable experiences. For example, instead of just reading about how plants grow, a tutor might help your child plant seeds and observe changes over time, connecting theory to real-world outcomes. Tutors also teach the scientific method—asking questions, making predictions, and testing ideas—which builds both understanding and critical thinking skills. This approach helps students move beyond memorization to truly grasp why things happen in nature.
Great first grade science tutors are patient, curious, and skilled at making learning interactive and fun. They should understand how young learners think, use age-appropriate experiments and activities, and ask open-ended questions that encourage exploration. Look for tutors who can explain concepts simply, connect lessons to things your child sees every day, and adapt their teaching style based on your child's interests—whether that's animals, weather, plants, or how things work.
Personalized science instruction means your child learns at their own pace with a tutor who can pause on confusing ideas, repeat explanations in different ways, and choose examples that match their interests. Unlike classroom settings where teachers manage many students, one-on-one tutoring allows for immediate feedback and hands-on experiments tailored to your child's learning style. This focused attention helps build confidence and a genuine curiosity about science rather than anxiety about getting the right answer.
First graders often struggle with understanding cause and effect (why does this happen?), observing carefully, and using scientific vocabulary to describe what they see. Some students also find it hard to sit still during experiments or to predict outcomes before trying something. A tutor can help by breaking these skills into smaller steps, providing plenty of opportunities to practice observing and predicting, and making experiments engaging so your child stays focused and excited about learning.
Tutors choose simple, safe experiments that produce clear, immediate results—like observing how water changes states, watching seeds sprout, or testing which materials sink or float. They guide students through each step slowly, ask questions to help them notice patterns, and encourage predictions before revealing outcomes. This hands-on approach makes abstract concepts concrete and memorable, and helps students feel like real scientists rather than passive observers.
Simple activities make great science learning: observe bugs in the garden, watch clouds change shape, plant seeds indoors, compare how different objects float or sink, or notice how shadows change throughout the day. Ask your child "why" and "what if" questions to encourage curiosity, and let them lead exploration. A tutor can suggest specific experiments and activities tailored to your child's interests and help them develop the observation and questioning skills that make home learning more meaningful.
