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...

...elementary school students in Math, Science and Reading and decided to continue my 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...

...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...
