Award-Winning ACT Writing Tutors serving St. Louis, MO

...the family income. Although U-City was underfunded, the one consistent support that my classmates had was their teachers. U-City's teachers were always there as academic guides, but they often served as parental figures and life coaches when they needed to be. They recognized that, as teachers of underprivileged students at an underfunded school, they would have to step up and be the support that their students needed. Now in college, I am inspired by my...

My goal is to provide the best possible instruction to students in need of extra assistance through a variety of teaching methods that are appropriate to the student's learning style.... Usually, it is a lot of translating from one language to the other and systematically going through each sentence so that the student understands the relationship between all the words within the sentence.

...part-time nanny, and on weekends I enjoy playing and teaching the flute (which I also studied in college). I hope to become an English professor someday, and to this end, I'm starting a PhD program in English Literature in August 2015. I'm currently based in St. Louis, but will be moving to Charlottesville, Virginia in July for school. In my free time I like to go bike riding and exploring in St. Louis. Hope to...

...the classroom to improve both practical and conceptual knowledge of the course material. It is important for me to find every individual student's learning habits and specific set of strengths and weaknesses to better mold my lessons and advice. I am a current applicant for the medical school class beginning in the fall of 2015, and I am also a life-long soccer player. After playing in college, I spent the summer of 2014 playing semi-professionally...

...recently moved back to St. Louis from New York City, where I was Associate Director of Analytics for a digital advertising agency. Math, statistics and economics have always been the subjects I enjoyed learning about the most and in which I excelled. This has led me to a career in the analytics field (though in varying industries) for the past 5 years. Since I'm currently in a program that focuses on mathematics, statistics and computer...

I am a storyteller by nature, and I believe teaching--regardless of the subject-- is storytelling at the core. Instead of tales of fantasy and fiction, however, these are stories about how the world works. Students like working with me because of my ability to communicate information in a way that they can understand (i.e. I tell the story they want to hear). I enjoy swimming, being outdoors, and pets.

...and recently graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with majors in Business Administration and Political Science. I also have a ton of experience working in college admissions, with 4 years in Washington University's Office of Undergraduate Admissions and another year with Chamberlain University as an Admissions Advisor. I know what colleges are looking for and understand how best to help students tell their story. Whether that's through effective storytelling, high standardized testing scores, or...

This involves truly getting to know each student so that lessons can be personal, enriching, and fun. My test scores have not yet been uploaded through the site, but I scored in the 98th percentile in the verbal reasoning portion of the GRE and am interested in...

...My professional experience has allowed me to apply many of the math and economics concepts I studied to real world situations.

...they become, and ultimately the more they learn. I believe that teaching is multidimensional and multicultural, and I have a strong commitment to diversity, equity, and mutual respect. I feel it is important to expect the most from all of one's students and hold them all to the highest standards, but I also respect all of their different ways of exhibiting excellence. Not all children learn in the same ways, so it is the teacher's...

...with people on their reading and writing, because I believe writing skills empower people to express themselves. I believe the best way to teach people is to connect what they're learning with what the already know and what they're passionate about. In addition, I think it's important to give students the ability to practice and learn on their own time. In my free time I am usually found reading, going for walks and hikes, biking,...

...While I'm a very passionate student and have always enjoyed learning, I understand that sometimes there are subjects or tests that are JUST. HARD. When you come up against a subject that you struggle with, it's always a great idea to ask for help and that's exactly what I'm here to do. I appreciate that not every student learns the same way and I will do my very best to understand what works best for...

I have 5 years of tutoring experience in writing, English, and public speaking. I graduated from Truman State University with honors in May 2016.

I'm also a huge TV nerd and lover of all things pop culture. ... I believe every...

...minor in Mathematics, and I currently work as an economic analyst. While a student, I tutored underprivileged teenagers in a wide range of subjects. During this time, many of the other tutors came to me for help and dubbed me "the math guy." I was in high school not too long ago and understand the pressures of having a high GPA and impressive ACT scores, so I understand what many of you are going through....

...and internalize new topic matter. This solid foundation comes hand-in-hand with critical thinking skills, the ability to tackle problems outside of immediate comfort level, and the self-confidence to ask questions on new and unfamiliar concepts. For me, I find teaching a truly gratifying experience. I absolutely love seeing my students' "eureka" moments, when all the pieces fall into place and something just *clicks*. I don't think I will ever get tired of it!
