Award-Winning ACT Writing Tutors

...as an AmeriCorps VISTA for PeaceJam Foundation – an award-winning organization that promotes service learning and peacekeeping through the combined efforts of Nobel Peace Laureates and young people – has instilled in me a deep reverence and hope for our youths today. I strongly believe in our youths’ limitless potential to pursue their dreams and become agents of positive social change and know I will be an excellent mentor/coach through their journey.

...on financial models and health economics. I held multiple positions at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health where I worked with professors to conduct statistical research in the department of Population, Family & Reproductive Health. Before Hopkins, I received an International Baccalaureate Diploma in Geneva, Switzerland, where I studied higher level Math, Economics, English, and Physics. I also attended the Hopkins School in New Haven for grades seven through nine. I look forward...

...I and World History. Whatever I am teaching I try to make it a fun and interesting experience for both the students and myself. When tutoring I try to make it a personalized, individual experience for the student. My husband and I have decided that I will stay at home with Jace for a few years, so I have chosen to work from home. It has definitely been an interesting adjustment going from a full-time, classroom...

...love of teaching into higher level courses. I currently tutor in the above topics, with a specific passion for Biology, Chemistry, and test preparation. As a tutor, I strive to challenge students beyond fundamentals, while focusing on and accommodating individual needs and individual learning styles. As an sewing and crafting enthusiast, I understand that with practice, tenacity, and perseverance comes success, a lesson I apply to my life and to my tutoring.... Before entering into any teaching, I believe it is important to discuss the concerns the student has toward the material as well as their prior exposure to tutoring and study aids. This approach allows me to directly address their needs and insecurities, thus quickly increasing their confidence. This confidence boost encourages the tutoring process and helps associate learning with positive emotions (something everyone needs when working through tough or confusing material).

...to write correctly, concisely, and persuasively. In every subject, I will make important content accessible by adapting to your learning style. I believe there are never more than a few silly mnemonics, clear diagrams, or concept reconfigurations between a student and a good understanding of tough material. I’ll be there to find out what works for you! A little about me: After attending Harvard as an undergraduate, I decided to defer law school in order...

I am in my second year as an undergraduate at UC Berkeley. I am an intended physics major and pre-medical student, so I plan to go to medical school. I have a strong passion for physics, though I also thoroughly enjoy chemistry and math. I have experience tutoring elementary and high school students, and would be comfortable working with college students in subjects I am qualified to teach.... I believe that the best way to learn is by teaching others: in explaining a difficult concept, one may often discover where one is less comfortable with the material. I hope to use this strategy to ensure that my students have a deep and complete understanding of the material. I am excellent at encouraging and motivating my students. I hope my passion for teaching will translate into enthusiasm in my students.

...gravitate towards teaching ACT and SAT prep. I believe my work as an actor and director aids my ability to communicate and listen to students. I have an avid curiosity; I told my college playwriting professor that I wish I could experience everything there is in the world. She told me to start a podcast where I interview all kinds of people about all kinds of things and call it, "A Little Bit of Everything."...

...school, I worked as a classroom tutor in various Los Angeles high schools, tutoring a variety of subjects ranging from English to Physics. Of the subjects I taught, my favorite is definitely Math, and Algebra in particular. Because many students struggle with Algebra, I find it satisfying to help students understand concepts and build their foundation of knowledge. Working in classrooms was great, but I am excited to be able to work one-on-one with students...

...well as in Computer Science. I have experience privately tutoring a wide range of students from elementary school students to high school seniors on subjects ranging from mathematics to the Writing portion of the ACT. As a student myself, I strongly believe in having a passion for learning, and as a tutor, I believe it is my duty to impart that desire for understanding and knowledge. When teaching, I focus not on simply communicating the...

...special pleasure in prepping students for the SAT. It is a fundamentally understandable test with a limited number of patterns and question types that can be mastered with practice. The formulaic nature of the test gives me the privilege and joy of being able to reveal a manageable and orderly structure to students who had previously seen only a confusing mess of problems. Similarly, I take great joy in walking students through the mental process...
