Ashley

ACT Prep Tutor • +43 Subjects

Taking an active role in the educational system has been a formative factor for the past 15 years. What began as an after school activity for peer tutoring, eventually became an intrinsic part of my personality continuing through college and past graduate school. My goal is for students to enjoy the learning process, leaving tangible results (ie- improved confidence and higher grades) as inevitable. I have an academic interest, and over seven years of clinical experience, in neuropsychology and cognitive testing and like to apply these learning techniques in each tutoring session. As an Ivy League graduate, and current medical student, I enjoy tutoring the next generation to maximize on their potential and show them learning is fun.

6th Grade AP Language Composition Tutor • +28 Subjects

I'm passionate about helping students because I know that tutoring and teaching allows me to learn too. I taught as primary teacher for 5 years and loved working with all ages. My Bachelor's in English, Minor in Business, and wide range of knowledge has equipped me to help students succeed across all ages and cultures. I especially love teaching English as well as Essay Writing, Conversational English, and Language Arts. These are subjects that I'm passionate about. These subjects have taken me outside of the classroom to different countries and I look forward to learning more as well as teaching more. I currently live in Portugal with my family and adventurous cats named Levi and Joey.

Justin

AP Comparative Government and Politics Tutor • +19 Subjects

After attending high school in Vermont and graduating near the top of my class, I attended Boston University to study Political Science. During my time there, I participated in numerous internship programs, including a semester in Washington, DC, and was recognized as a member of the Dean's List every semester. In May 2014, I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a major in Political Science and a minor in Music.I have extensive experience with managing and training staff- skills which help me prepare my students to succeed. My own passion for education enables me to inspire those I tutor. I utilize an in-depth approach that focuses on the big picture, not just rote memorization. My students will not only be better prepared for their classes and exams, but will gain skills and strategies they can apply in their future studies.When not tutoring,I am an avid football fan (Patriots, Texans and Longhorns) and musician. I enjoy photography, squash, and volunteering as well. On the weekends I enjoy traveling and enjoying nature, including horse back riding and traveling to Galveston to go deep sea fishing.

Jennifer

Anthropology Tutor • +14 Subjects

As a graduate of Williams College, I received my Bachelors of Arts as a double major in Religion and Arabic Studies and a concentration in International Studies. Throughout high school and college, I worked with a range of students on all academic subjects, emphasizing confidence building through academic engagement. After graduation, I worked in Yemen for nine months coordinating a State Department English Language program for Yemeni youth, a life-changing experience that inspired me to approach the teaching process with a broader, encompassing perspective. Apart from my experience with the Arabic language, I am also a native Spanish speaker. Although I am available to tutor in a range of topics, I am particularly passionate about History, Religion, Geography, and all Social Studies. I have personally committed myself to improving education throughout the world and promoting its appreciation among students in order to enhance the learning process as well as intrinsically benefit the student. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling and experiencing different cultures around the world, reading novels, yoga, and volunteering with youth.

Personal Statement as an EducatorMy personal philosophy of education is based in life-long learning and a learner-centered approach.I hope to inspire the learner to continue learning throughout their lifespan. Education is empowering and when we feel empowered, inspired and motivated, there is nothing we can't do. A thirst for knowledge can see us through the best and the worst of times.My approach to education has always been learner-centered. It is not about what is taught, but what is learned. Seeing learners as individuals with lives beyond the educational setting is key. With education, we can see hardships as challenges with solutions that are yet to be found.

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.
