I taught college English composition courses for eight years, so I have a firm grasp of the expectations of student writing at this level. I have also tutored ESL students in SAT prep and college application essay writing. As a former Fulbright grantee, I understand the importance of a clear and concise personal statement as the cornerstone of a successful application. My academic specializations include written and visual rhetoric, academic and creative writing, and 19th century British literature.

I graduated from Boston University in 2012 with Electrical engineering as my major. However, I knew I also was not finished with my time as a student. I was accepted to graduate school at UCLA with a fellowshipto further my study in engineering. I spent two and a half years there completing my Masters of Science. To pay tuition, I worked as a Teaching Assistant and later a Teaching Associate for the University.Additionally, during High School and college, I spent many summers working as a Sailing Instructor. My last year I was Head Instructor at Rockland Community Sailing. This was especially rewarding for me, because this particular community sail program welcomed children of Youthlinks, a part of Broadreach Family and Community Services, aimed at serving underprivileged kids in the area. This program, and it's connection to us, allowed children who otherwise would have never have had a chance to step foot on a boat, the opportunity to learn how to sail and have an amazing summer. After that summer, I knew I wanted to get involved helping students who do not grow up with the same privileges that I did.

In 2015, I graduated from Columbia College with a BA in Comedy Writing and Performance. However, I have a long and extensive background in English. I started tutoring all elementary subjects while still in high school. I edited essays and short stories for my peers and some graduates while in college. I also took many writing courses while there. My great grandmother, grandmother, and mother used to be English teachers, so it seems to be in my blood! I have a passion for grammar, as well as performance. I currently work as an instructor at Chicago Performing Arts and as Lead Educator for Right at School. Teaching is so rewarding. I love being able to watch students learn and grow. It is important for me to relate to my students and make learning fun. I don't think people learn when they're intimidated or bored, so finding ways to connect and make the materials interesting are important steps in my process. I encourage questions and creativity. Every student learns differently, and I make sure I find those differences to come up with the perfect education method for each student.Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

I have always known I have a passion for teaching, and throughout my math education experience I have sought out opportunities for tutoring and teaching. From my Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics from the University of Minnesota, I taught as an undergraduate learning assistant as well as a tutor, mostly Calculus and Precalculus. Then, before I got started on my Master's degree from the University of Minnesota Duluth, I volunteered to tutor for a community center to help people get GEDs. And finally as I am working on finishing my Master's degree, I taught for two years as a teaching assistant for Differential Equations, Finite Math, and Calculus I and II. I would say the subjects I enjoy teaching most would be Calculus I and II since I've had the most experience teaching it, and I've seen some interesting problems and applications. Learning about math has always been enjoyable for me, and I think I started tutoring to share in that. But, as I've had more experience, I think the part I really try for now is the moment when students who are having trouble unlock the concept. I believe everyone has their own learning style, and by presenting the problem in new ways and making new connections, everyone can achieve their learning goals in math. Aside from tutoring and studying, I also enjoy traveling, exploring different foods and cultures, and playing video and tabletop roleplaying games.

I graduated from Harvard University, earning a Master of Education from the Graduate School of Education. I also earned my Bachelor of Arts in Comparative Human Development at The University of Chicago. While attending The University of Chicago, I mainly focused my major courses on adolescent development and school development. Additionally, during college, I worked as a homework tutor at a youth center, interned in the youth development department for a housing nonprofit, as well as interned for a nongovernmental organization in Kigali, Rwanda.After graduating from college, I worked for the Academy for Urban School Leadership (AUSL) as a Math+ tutor. Math+ was a math intervention program for Chicago Public Schools focusing on third through fifth grade students. As a Math+ tutor, I provided data-driven, small group math classes. After my stint with AUSL, I worked for By the Hand Club for Kids (BTH) as the 4th grade Team Leader. One aspect of BTH is providing afterschool programming for students in grades 1st through 12th. As a team leader, I assisted with homework, monitored an online reading program, and taught a Read- Aloud program. I also conducted home and school visits. These visits allowed me to build a partnership with my students' parents and teachers. Additionally, I was able to track academic progress and behavior.While attending Harvard Graduate School of Education, I interned at a nonprofit named Tutors for All as the Math Skill Program Coordinator, where I transitioned from tutoring to coaching. As the coordinator, I managed the weekly logistics for a math tutorial program. I coached twenty- three tutors on instruction and behavioral management. I assisted with professional development days by planning and facilitating breakout sessions, introducing new tutors to the program's protocols and policies, implementing strategies for effective instructions, and providing tips for behavior management. I used assessment data to make instructional changes such as strategically grouping students, pairing them with tutors and setting relative goals based on their academic ability. I also worked closely with my students' math teachers and lead tutors to develop a curriculum for a group of accelerated students. Lastly, I implemented different organization systems to track academic progress.As my background suggests, I enjoy tutoring reading and math. I have a stronger preference for math and more experience with elementary to beginning high school grades. As a tutor, I like to form a partnership with my tutee. I believe that it is important that we work together to overcome their academic challenges. Additionally, I like to create activities using the kinesthetic learning style because this approach allows for students to be interactive and hands on. Inasmuch, I want to engage my students' prior knowledge and build from what they know. Lastly, I provide opportunities for students to teach each other as well as teach me. This allows me to further evaluate their conceptual understanding of a given objective.Outside of academia, I enjoy cooking, art, watching movies, music, and reading books. I am also a social person who loves to meet new people, travel the world, and explore.

Learning requires active involvement and attentively engaging with the material. This process can be at times frustrating and challenging, but ultimately a gratifying feeling. Opening a text book and feeling the increasing anxiety as you flip through unknown pages of what can only be viewed as a new language can repress the learning process. Nearly everyone at one point in their life feels overwhelmed and demurred about a specific subject. This feeling push someone away from learning something new and truly affect their ability to grow. I can understand this and have dealt with this in my own learning process.As an aspiring physician and an avid science lover, I am interested in not only medical science, but also ecology, evolution, biotechnology, and other related fields. I recall the difficulty of wrapping my head around specific concepts in chemistry, physics, and biology classes. My early struggles were amplified by my lackluster enthusiasm to understand why even this knowledge was relevant. Often times I would feel disconnected with what I was learning. This issue affected my foundational knowledge in sciences and it took me time to realize that without understanding the basics it becomes seemingly impossible to incur further knowledge. It is evident that many concepts are a continuum and by building upon previous knowledge can help consolidate new information. I find this as a paradigm in my learning philosophy; to thoroughly understand an essential point before moving on to the next subject. By retaining the foundational knowledge, it is much easier to apply and visit new, complex, information. Moreover, I believe learning is parceled into various tasks from listening, reading, writing, practicing and ultimately teaching to fully understand and retain new information. This is known as the ‘learning pyramid’ and can be very useful as a template.I constantly apply the ‘learning pyramid’ throughout my studies, beginning with attentive hearing at the basic level and reinforcing the subject material by reading and writing notes. After I felt confident with handling the material, group discussions can help reconsolidate the details and further solidify the major points. I truly believe that group work, used correctly, can help facilitate comprehension. This strategy was useful during my masters at Georgetown University, an accelerated one year program, which focused on physiology and biophysics aligning with the medical school curriculum. I was able to excel in the system-based modules by utilizing a steady academic focus alone and supplemented with group discussions between 3 to 4 students. During these group discussions, I realized the influence of teaching my fellow peers on improving my own interpretation. This marked the beginning of my interests in tutoring, specifically subjects that I am enthusiastic about. These include chemistry, biochemistry, physiology, anatomy, pathophysiology, and other science based subjects.My fellow group members and I would teach each other the material, we would practice explaining out individual thought process. This method enabled an active learning process with an emphasis on the main point plus important details. As a tutor, I would emphasize the major points and push my student to ask questions, be attentive, and then be able to successfully teach me. The learning process can be difficult at times, as I explained earlier, can push a student away from an interesting and exciting subject. My focus would be to improve the student’s knowledge about the topic by discussing why it is important and highlighting potential benefits of understanding the material. By enticing a student and tapping into their enthusiasm can evolve into a new found educational motivation. The best experience I can wish for is a student to learn something new, but also to apply learning strategies to other subjects and became a better academic scholar.

Hey! I'm Marshall, and I'd be happy to help you out with essays or any other English-related assignments!I bring a fun, laid-back style to tutoring. I've worked multiple summers as a camp counselor, and I strive to bring the excitement of camp to each session. I also enjoy creative writing, and I tap into this passion when working with students to improve their writing skills.I earned my undergraduate degree from Indiana University where I obtained a B.S. in Applied Health Science, majoring in Human Development and Family Studies. Currently, I'm preparing to enroll in a Masters program in Clinical Mental Health Counseling next fall (still trying to settle on a school). I hope to use this degree to address the burgeoning mental health crisis among children.I worked as a tutor during college, where I helped students of different ages improve their reading and writing skills. I volunteered at a local elementary school helping a fourth grader improve his reading ability. I also worked for the Indiana University Athletic Department, assisting student athletes in writing and editing essays.I look forward to working with you!

I am a graduate of the University of Kentucky and received my Bachelor of Arts in Secondary Education-Science. Following college, I completed my medical degree at the University of Louisville School of Medicine and completed pediatrics residency training at McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine and Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. I tutored large groups while in medical school in pathology, biochemistry, histology, microbiology, and pharmacology. I have also spent time in small groups and one on one tutoring sessions for a variety of subjects in science. I am available to tutor biology, chemistry, microbiology, pharmacology, and anatomy and physiology. My favorite subjects to tutor are biology and microbiology because of the understanding required at a cellular level. I believe all students have the ability to excel and reach their individual goals in any subject and my philosophy lies in creating a context for understanding for the student. Science is fun and changing the framework in how a student looks at science can make all the difference.

I can help with reading and writing for students of all ages and adults . I can also help prepare and organize for tests and help with study habits in general. I have been a tutor with "Erie House Neighborhood House" for 5 years where I tutor students from the 6th grade to 12th grade. I have also worked after school, in a CPS school, with students from the 5-8th grade.I am a native speaker of Spanish and have taken college level education to have fluency and proper grammar.I also have intermediate-level French proficiency. I can help tutor students with beginner's French.

Hello! I am a graduate of Princeton University. I received my Bachelors Degree in English. Since graduation, I have travelled extensively and have taught and coached for five years. I can tutor a wide range of subjects and am most happy when tutoring writing and yoga.
