Award-Winning ACT Tutors in Tacoma, WA

...All of my degrees are in music composition, a field that allows me to interpret and describe ideas that intrigue me in creative ways using sound. That said, I still have a secret crush on math and science, and I love exploring and analyzing languages and the written word. (In fact, much of the music I have written has been inspired by literary or linguistic concepts.) I have taught courses in music theory, history, and...

...what life is like in a big city. During my college career, I was a part of several study groups and helped classmates with their writing informally, but during my senior year, I tutored another student formally in their chemistry class.

The opportunity to help another student with their own learning journey was a very positive experience, and...

Having graduated 1st in my class with a Masters degree, I know what it takes to succeed in academic settings. It is effort, not innate ability, that makes people excel. I try to put forth this effort and learn in all areas of my life, including my hobbies like cooking, skiing, hiking,...

...always been a passion that I enjoy sharing. Math is the way we describe what we discover with science. I have been a substitute teacher for all grades and all subjects in a rural district, then later worked in a maximum security Juvenile Rehabilitation facility.

...Applied Mathematics. I also have extensive experience working in tutoring. One of my most enjoyable moments in undergrad was working as a Research Assistant at Semyung University in optimizing the instruction of curricula for incoming college freshmen. I believe in a problem based approach rather than a lecture based one. Most deficiencies in scores are caused by gaps in the student's knowledge. Through assessment, we can identify where these areas are and fill them so...

...gained from moments of discovery in the lab paled in comparison to the excitement of catalyzing eureka moments with my students. After teaching science classes at both the graduate and undergraduate level, I've gravitated towards teaching material that conveys the broad skills that allow students to understand the scientific method and use it to probe the natural world in an objective way. These experiences have led me to pursue a career in secondary education, where...

...connections with people of different ages and cultures. I took a gap year after high school to backpack in Europe, spent a summer in Russia at a children's camp, and did a summer study abroad learning about social justice in India. My last quarter of college was an internship teaching ESL in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. While I love studying literature of all genres, I feel the most impactful literary experience is one that deeply resonates with...

...I grew up in the beautiful state of Goa, India, and I moved to the United States to attend college at Brigham Young University about five years ago. I am a young wife, and my husband is a structural engineer as well! I started tutoring students my own age when I was in high school. My friends' parents would "hire" me to help their children, and so I started teaching material I had just learned...

Every student is different and so are their learning styles and...

...nerd. I've had experience tutoring biology, math, and environmental science for the Athletic Department at UW and serving as a Teacher Assistant for UW's Biology Department, including a biodiversity seminar to Peru. Just like the D1 student athletes I work with, academics sometimes don't come naturally, but I look forward to fixing that false assumption. In addition to tutoring, I love playing soccer and I love traveling. I look forward to connecting with you!
