Anna

College Essays Tutor • +14 Subjects

I'm a graduate of Binghamton University with a degree in English and Creative Writing. While in school, I worked as a private writing tutor for adults of all different levels. Through this experience, I found that I really loved working with people to help improve their learning experiences. After graduating, I worked abroad in southern Spain teaching English as a Second Language subjects to students ages 10-16. In this position, I planned creative lessons tailored to the various levels of my classrooms and enjoyed finding interesting ways to engage them. While I really enjoyed being in a classroom, I missed the one on one aspect of tutoring and I found myself picking up extra opportunities after work to do so. My experience has made me comfortable assessing a students needs and planning individualized lessons to help them succeed. I really enjoy teaching Writing, Literature, ESL and Spanish and I believe that my enthusiasm for these subjects is what makes me a great tutor.

Athena

AP Spanish Language & Culture Tutor • +11 Subjects

Hola! I'm a graduate of Grinnell College with a BA in Spanish and Linguistics. I have a passion for learning languages and increasing cultural competency. I aim to cultivate strong interests in learning the Spanish language because of all the opportunities and life lessons it brings to a student's life. I have been fluent in Spanish since elementary school through my enrollment in a Spanish immersion program, and have never taken a break from learning Spanish! I have experience tutoring college students from beginners just starting out to 4th years who have already mastered the language. I have spent 5 months living in Santiago, Chile and another 3 months teaching 9th and 10th graders English. I understand that learning a language can be one of the most challenging subjects a student can take, but I also believe it is the most rewarding. I hope to help you or your student on the path to successful language learning through individualized tutoring!

Eric

ACT Prep Tutor • +32 Subjects

I'm a recent college graduate with degrees in Biological Sciences and Russian from Ohio University. During my time there, I tutored students in a variety of subjects, including biology, chemistry, and Spanish. In addition, I worked as both a peer advisor and teaching assistant, which gives me insight into the learning strategies and study skills that students need to succeed. As a tutor, I like to focus on doing actual problems with students because it is the most effective way to immediately identify their strengths and weaknesses and to address them. In my free time, I like to lift weights, read books, and spend time with my friends.

Sofia

English Tutor • +5 Subjects

I am a graduate of Northeastern University. I received my Bachelor degree in Business Administration with a focus in Marketing and minored in Psychology. Ever since I was a kid, I have traveled extensively due to my father's job. We would move every two years- it was a very exciting but challenging journey. I was born in Argentina then moved to California, Switzerland, Guatemala, New York, Spain, and then Massachusetts. I was lucky enough to attend great schools in these countries and cities, learn from incredible teachers, and get exposed to different languages. I loved school and that became a love for teaching. I have tutored many kids around the world in Spanish, English, and French. I am most passionate about English, especially Writing, ESL, and preparing kids for exams like TOEFL. As someone who was born in a Spanish speaking country and learned languages early on in my life, I have a very deep understanding on how to approach these subjects. I value education and I love children! I have three younger siblings myself, so teaching them has been a constant hobby of mine! I love the feeling of seeing children grow academically. I look forward to getting to know your children :)

Adobe Illustrator Tutor • +22 Subjects

I am a retired Army Licensed Practical Nurse. I have been a nurse for 20 years. I teach anatomy and physiology, NCLEX preparation, TEAS prep, and healthcare administration. I have a Master's in Healthcare Administration and a Bachelor's in Health Education. I taught the LPN program for over 2 years in the Army. I enjoy teaching all ages and all skill levels.

I studied fine art at Herron School of Art prior to joining the Army and I specialize in oil painting and drawing. I have created a comprehensive lesson plan that can be used for the NCLEX-RN or NCLEX-PN exams. I am currently working on a new TEAS prep plan for the new ATI TEAS exam. I believe there is a strategy for anyone that can relieve test anxiety and boost confidence.

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.
