I graduated from Florida International University with a bachelors degree in Political Science.

Now, I am able to give back and help others achieve their goals.
Liev
College Physics Tutor • +11 Subjects
I've recently graduated from UW-Madison with a physics degree. I come from humble beginnings. Having started at a community college in Florida and later working my way up to a top 20 school, I know what's it's like to start with seemingly no aptitude in math or physics. I eventually became confident enough in my abilities to want to pursue the field (physics) as a career, you might too. It takes hard work, patient guidance from mentors, and often times a certain shift in perspective. I'm here to aid in the latter two. I hope that after working with me, you have a greater appreciation for and comfort with math and science.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sixth graders often struggle with organizing their thoughts into coherent paragraphs, developing ideas beyond surface-level observations, and maintaining consistency in their writing. Many students also find it difficult to understand the difference between casual writing and formal essay structure, or to revise their work effectively rather than simply rewriting it. Additionally, understanding how to support claims with evidence from texts is a significant transition that requires guided practice.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows a tutor to identify exactly where your child gets stuck—whether it's brainstorming, organizing ideas, drafting, or revising. Rather than working through generic writing exercises, tutors can provide real-time feedback on your child's actual assignments, model the writing process step-by-step, and help them develop a personal writing voice. This targeted approach means students get unstuck faster and build confidence in their ability to tackle longer, more complex writing assignments.
Grammar rules are the foundational mechanics—correct sentence structure, punctuation, and word usage. Style and voice are about how a writer chooses to use those tools to create meaning and engage readers. A 6th grader might write a grammatically correct sentence that's also boring or unclear. Good writing instruction balances both: ensuring students have solid grammar skills while also encouraging them to experiment with varied sentence lengths, word choice, and tone to make their writing more interesting and effective.
When students actively analyze how published authors structure their writing, develop arguments, and use language, they internalize these techniques and can apply them to their own work. Close reading practice—learning to notice word choice, understand an author's purpose, and trace how ideas develop—directly strengthens a student's ability to organize their own thoughts clearly and support their ideas with evidence. Tutoring that combines reading analysis with writing practice helps students see themselves as writers learning from other writers.
Look for someone who understands the 6th grade curriculum and the specific skills students are expected to master at this level—things like paragraph structure, citing sources correctly, and literary analysis. A strong tutor listens to understand your child's specific challenges, gives specific, actionable feedback rather than general praise, and can explain grammar and writing concepts in multiple ways. They should also be patient with the revision process and help your child see writing as something that improves with practice, not something that needs to be perfect on the first try.
With consistent, focused practice, students often see noticeable improvements in organization and confidence within 4-6 weeks. However, developing a strong personal writing voice and the ability to tackle complex essays typically takes longer—usually several months of regular practice. The key is consistency: students who work with a tutor regularly and apply feedback to their schoolwork progress much faster than those who have sporadic sessions. Progress also depends on how much the student writes outside of tutoring and applies what they've learned.
Yes. Personalized tutoring can address reading comprehension by teaching strategies like close reading, annotation, and asking critical questions while reading. Tutors can also help 6th graders prepare for standardized tests or classroom assessments by breaking down question types, practicing with similar passages, and building the stamina needed for longer reading sections. Since reading and writing skills reinforce each other, improving comprehension often boosts writing quality as well.
