Alexandra

Algebra Tutor • +34 Subjects

I am an astronomer who spends her days coding in Python and conjuring up equations to fit trends I observe in my spectroscopic data. Currently, I study how stellar environment affects the gaseous disks around baby stars that may be forming planets (Yep & White 2020, The Astrophysical Journal, Volume 889, Issue 1, id. 50). Math, physics, and coding are all part of my job solving mysteries of the Universe! Throughout the year (except during global pandemics), I run Georgia State University's telescopes to show everyone the planets, stars, clusters, and galaxies visible from right here on Earth. Any questions? Ask away!From arithmetic to algebra, calculator to calculus, I have always enjoyed math. It is beautiful and logical like a game of chess, and just like in chess, even though there is one right answer (checkmate?), there are often many ways to get there, some faster than others, some easier than others. Math actually benefits from a touch of creativity.Maybe I can help you with that. I have had the pleasure of obtaining two very different degrees, a Bachelor of Fine Arts in creative writing at Emerson College followed directly by a Master of Science in physics at California State University, Northridge. Now I am pursuing a Ph.D. in astronomy at Georgia State University. I have run the gamut of both creative and cold, hard, scientific courses and have written both poems and scientific papers about the stars. I make a point of creating scientific graphs that are aesthetically pleasing. One could say both halves of my brain are fairly active.This is a great combination for teaching mathematics. I have tutored both children and adults in everything from fundamentals to precalculus ever since I was in high school, starting with my sister who needed a little help with trigonometry. Now at Georgia State I teach introductory astronomy and physics labs to undergraduates, some of them in STEM majors, many of them not. I try to be as illustrative and flexible as possible when I teach. Most students respond well to visualizations of mathematical concepts, so I start there and always like to use PowerPoints or whiteboards, or at least my expressive hands, to show what equations represent and what they can show us. If students respond well, great, I build to the next concept. If students are not confident, I slow down and try to pinpoint the source of confusion, so I can adjust their perspective and clarify what is really going on. I try to give tips and tricks on how to apply and remember the many mathematical tools students encounter. I show them not just how to solve equations, but also how to graph and manipulate and reshape them, so that someday they can glance at an equation and guess how it will look and what it will do if a given parameter is altered. This is an extremely powerful skill that I believe should be much more strongly emphasized in mathematical education, as early as algebra. This may be why algebra (the beginning of all things, rooted in perfect balance) is my favorite subject to teach.Math is a lot less scary when you understand it better and can in fact start visualizing equations. Let me show you. :)

Emily

Anthropology Tutor • +46 Subjects

I am a doctoral student in linguistic anthropology at Michigan State University, where I previously received two bachelor's degrees in professional writing and comparative cultures and politics with a minor in Spanish. After graduating, I worked as a behavior aide in an elementary school helping students in need of extra behavioral support in the classroom and in social situations. The following year, I was a long-term substitute Spanish teacher for grades pre-K through 8th, where I gained experience developing lesson plans for exploratory Spanish all the way up to students receiving high school credit for Spanish 1.I am eager to tutor because I absolutely love both teaching and being a student myself. For that reason, I enjoy tutoring a wide range of topics and getting to learn new things as I engage in the material I'm working on with students.While I am most passionate about topics in the social sciences and humanities, I also love math and am proficient in Spanish. I love working with students of all ages and helping support students as they navigate coursework, tests, and essays.

ACT English Tutor • +35 Subjects

I'm a coterminal master's student at Stanford University in California majoring in Computer Science (Biocomputation). Throughout high school and college, I've taken many courses in computer science, the life sciences (biology and chemistry), and math; and I've been through a lot of standardized tests. For computer science in particular, I have a lot of experience writing software in Python and C++ for AI and systems classes, and I'll be interning as a software engineer at Facebook this summer. I got a lot of great tips and mentorship from tutors along the way, and would love to pass along what I know!Outside of academics, I enjoy captaining Stanford's Ultimate Frisbee Team, keeping up with the NBA, serving people at Stanford's Pacific Free Clinic, and searching for nearby boba tea cafes.

Michael

College English Tutor • +33 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of the University of Sussex in Brighton, U.K., where I received an M.A. in Modern and Contemporary Literature, Culture, and Thought. I received my B.A. in English and History from Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts in 2011. Having grown up in Alabama, completed an undergraduate degree in Massachusetts, and a Master's in the U.K., I have tutored students from a broad range of backgrounds in an even broader range of subject areas. I have worked with students in subjects ranging from History and Government to Reading, Writing, and Grammar. I am passionate about helping others to realize their academic potentials, and I believe that my most important responsibility as a tutor is helping my students to develop the reading, writing, and critical thinking skills that will allow them to excel in all subject areas.

Elijah

ACT Prep Tutor • +21 Subjects

Tutoring students is of interest to me because I potentially would like a profession in education in the future. My experience includes tutoring middle- and high-school students over the last 2 years. I have my high school diploma and am currently finishing my first year in college. Now I am working to obtain a Bachelors of Science in Biochemistry. With that said, I tutor many STEM based subjects, along with ACT tests and strategies. My current favorite subject is General Chemistry, but my favorite changes every so often. My tutoring style is based off trying to get to know every student I work with and their unique thought processes.I have many hobbies and interests outside tutoring such as cooking and baking (I am a certified chef!), running, gymnastics, and learning new languages!

Algebra Tutor • +24 Subjects

I am a graduate from the School of Molecular Sciences from Arizona State University. My Bachelor's Degree of Science was in Biochemistry. Since graduation, I have taken a gap year to work and build my medical school resume. Sometimes why a student struggles with a subject is because their foundational knowledge of that subject is not strong enough. My favorite subjects to tutor in are physics and mathematics. In my free time, I enjoy baking, painting, and exercising. Most summers I travel abroad to take care of my grandmother and work on keeping up my language skills (Turkish).

Lynda

Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +25 Subjects

After completing a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature with a minor in music education....I knew my mission would be teaching/tutoring. I had spent a semester in Worcester England as an exchange student studying fine arts and discovered that my love of traveling was in fact a penchant for learning. While attending many international music camps, traversing four continents and criss crossing America by car I like to impart a passion for learning to all my students. Whether it was teaching elementary school children to read, teaching business executives ESL and Spanish or the many years I ran my private piano studio in my home, enjoying the great journey of learning together is what I'm most passionate about sharing. I hike and run daily with my Beagle and am also an avid skier and yoga practitioner.

Michelle

10th Grade Reading Tutor • +39 Subjects

I am a graduate of American University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Literature, with a primary focus in African American Literature, and Print Journalism and was on the Dean’s List. Since my graduation last May, I have taught reading comprehension, vocabulary, and essay writing to students from the ages of six to twelve. I am currently enrolled in 12-week course to become a certified ESL instructor to teach non-English speaking young adults in Austria. I tutor a broad range of subjects dealing primarily with English and American Literature, as well as creative and essay writing. As a former high school student, I tended to struggle with my studies. My mother kindly enrolled me with talented and dedicated tutors. I finally got the one-on-one attention I needed and my academic career improved tremendously. I will dedicate myself to improving a student’s learning the same way I was taught. I believe a friendly demeanor and patience allows for a student to feel confident and comfortable while engaging with the curriculum. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, writing poetry, hiking, relaxing with my 11-year-old dog, and cooking.
