Award-Winning ACT Tutors in Tacoma, WA

I focus on using what a student already knows and improving their ability to apply and their confidence to look within. Most of the time those are the biggest obstacles. I like to focus on process and generally stay away from spending time on rote memorization. I won't claim to make learning fun, but I will try to make the work less arduous. Work smarter not harder!

...in order to train the next generation of researchers and explorers. On the other hand, learning science (learning anything, in fact) is best done with context in mind; if you can sufficiently teach someone, especially a layperson, the subject matter that you are studying, then you know that you got it! I have been teaching for five years not only because it is helpful in giving back to the community, but also because I need...

...worked as a Graduate Student Instructor (TA) for an undergraduate course in Zen Buddhism while in graduate school pursuing my MA/JD. I really enjoy teaching, particularly when I have the opportunity to work with students who are motivated and engaged. My strengths are in reading, writing, and English. I love stories and I love explaining concepts in an accessible way. I believe in holding students to the highest reasonable standards - I don't expect students...

I am a 24 year old filmmaker, animator, and plant enthusiast recently transplanted to the bustling city of Seattle. I grew up in the coulee region in Wisconsin and attended three colleges in the area: the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse, and, my alma mater, the University of Wisconsin - Stout. My scenic route through college was the product of indecision and confusion regarding my future...... Every person and student is different, and the way in way they learn is different too. To be a good teacher, one has to know their student. Getting to know them is where the teaching process begins.

...went to high school at Lakeside in Seattle, and I did my undergrad at Washington University in St. Louis, MO. I've loved science since I was a little kid (I was that weird girl playing with dirt and rocks during recess). I did what I like to call the "Nerd Trifecta" in high school: math team, knowledge bowl, and science olympiad. I've tutored since I was in middle school, and I love finding an explanation...

...Seattle University. I moved to the west coast from Minnesota for school, and love it here! I tutor all ACT subjects as well as Computer Science. I enjoy working with students, not only because I enjoy teaching but because I feel the best way to really master a subject is by helping others understand it. I look forward to working with some great students! Outside of teaching and class, I enjoy watching and playing hockey,...

...fascinated with words and the way we use them. I would love to help a pupil become attuned to the nuances of a text or express themselves more clearly for a college admissions essay. Besides education, my interests and hobbies include theatre, cooking, camping, and volunteerism. In my professional and personal life, I adhere to the motto of my favorite writer, E.M. Forster: “Only connect.” By shaping meaningful connections with others, we come alive to...
