Robert
Algebra Tutor • +55 Subjects
I am a second year engineering student located in the New York City area. I have attended one of the top public high schools in the nation and I am currently attending a top engineering school. I have been tutoring professionally for over two years, at a private company and with my own clients. My students have shown great improvements in a variety of subjects, from SAT, SHSAT and Regents prep to Calculus, Physics, and Geometry. I specialize in mathematics, however, my writing and reading comprehension skills are of an equally high level. Having achieved top scores on both the SAT and SHSAT, along with various regents tests, I know what it takes to understand subject matter, and as a result, achieve high scores. I believe that everyone possesses the ability to excel in their academic pursuits. I would love to help you with yours.

As a tutor and citizen, I strongly support the importance of education because of its ability to empower and improve people's lives. I have made it a priority of mine to tutor in my community as it allows me the opportunity to give back to the students of Phoenix. Given my affinity for problem solving, mathematics teaching, character development and building personal relationships, I am a great candidate to help you progress your learning and advance your thinking.
Michael
1st Grade Math Tutor • +33 Subjects
I am a senior undergraduate student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill expecting to graduate in May with a B.S. in Mathematics and minors in Chemistry and Neuroscience. I have been teaching for the past 7 years in both public and private settings. Throughout high school I worked at Kumon, where I taught students who were at risk of getting behind in their schoolwork and those that wanted to get ahead of their peers. During this time I also worked with numerous students with ACT/SAT prep and placement exams in more private environments. In my time at UNC, I volunteered with AVID at a local middle school where I led sessions for groups of students in an effort to close the achievement gap and emphasize college readiness to those who may not reach their full potential without guidance. I have also worked with the Math department at UNC, conducting research and tutoring students in high-level mathematics courses. My approachability and ability to explain abstract concepts in simpler, more practical terms allow me to connect with my students and help them achieve whatever their goals may be.

The past 6 years of my life have been spent in dedication and professional training to become a teacher. I graduated Snow College with honors, achieving my Associate's Degree in Elementary Education. I volunteered and taught across the globe in Thailand to gain more experience. I just finished my final year at Utah Valley University in the Elementary Education program, in which I received my Bachelor's Degree and teaching license.I tutor Elementary subjects and test preparation for ACT, ISEE, Geography and US History. I love to read and write and particularly enjoy preparing students for the ACT.I am passionate about running, traveling, and being outdoors. I believe that learning should be fun and that the process needs to be personal and innovative. I am always prepared, patient, and observant. I care about each individual and know that everyone has the capacity to understand and learn. It is my belief that we are lifelong learners and I am anxious to know how I can help. Thank you!

ACT Math Tutor • +50 Subjects
I recently graduated from Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts, with a major in psychology and a minor in computer science. There, I have worked as a writing mentor and a statistics tutor. While I tutor a wide range of subjects, I especially enjoy tutoring psychology, mathematics, statistics and writing. I can also help you prepare for standardized tests like the ACT and GRE.As a psychology major, I aspire to understand the cognitive principles behind learning to improve my teaching. I am passionate about tutoring because I find it inspiring to see students take on challenges and accomplish things that they thought they could not do. I believe that everyone can become effective learners with good learning habits and practice, and my goal is to help you develop learning strategies that suit you and optimize your learning.

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.
