Award-Winning AP US History Tutors serving Tacoma, WA

...intellectually and personally. My main areas of focus are: psychology, history, philosophy, and writing. I have a master's degree in history and a master's degree in psychology. As a tutor, I do my best to be: patient, understanding, creative, and hardworking. Each student is unique and thus arrives with his or her own set of challenges and strengths; I strive to encounter the student where they are at. I hope to set realistic goals with...

I am a Seattle-based actress and singer originally from Illinois -- I moved to the Seattle area in 2000. I also work part-time at a non-profit guardianship firm downtown. (We look out for the financial and healthcare needs of the elderly and the physically and mentally disabled.) I am an anglophile and ailurophile (look them up! :-)), and I love theatre, movies, Gonzaga basketball (I went to law school there), and Chicago Cubs baseball.

...other Histories (European, Asian). My main focus is to help students see connections and forces behind historical events -- in short the "Big Picture" -- while also understanding the importance of specific events and people. I frequently conduct one on one sessions with students, which I enjoy greatly, to help them see these points and connections, and to adopt strategies for reading and understanding text books, and strategies to incorporate the 'dreaded dates' into the...

...future. I also enjoy helping students with their French language learning goals, so that they can get the most out of their travel experiences as well. I don't know about you, but I am also an extremely nervous test taker. I have developed several test preparation techniques that I would be happy to work with you on, so that you are confident and ready on your test day! I hope to hear from you soon!...

...very stressful, and as a future professor, I think it is important that I help walk students through that process, sharing advice and critique and making sure that everyone has the chance to represent themselves well when those dream schools are on the line (IWU was mine!). In my free time, I am a creative writer, a singer, an amateur artist, and an aspiring vegetarian chef. I love reading anything that broadens my perspective on...

...a student's life . For example, cultivating a love for American literature by looking at it through the lens of sports writing. This idea provides a foundation for how I view education; as never simply confined to the classroom. We engage in the learning process through truly ever part of life. This I believe, is the most important element for academic success. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, listening to music, and amateur boxing...

...getting to know students for who they are. As a teacher, I care about building trusting relationships and individual coaching. My personal philosophy is that learning is teaching, and teaching is learning. We work together. And, if you have a question, that means someone else does! As a language learner myself, especially who studied Mandarin Chinese to an advanced level, Spanish, and Norwegian, I have an especially strong empathy for those learning a new language...

...college student with a BA in History/Political Science from the Evergreen State College. I am currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Teaching from Western Governors University and I absolutely love teaching and learning! I take pride in every session I book and look for personal/individual approaches so each student can further understand their unique style of learning. Individual tutoring sessions are a great opportunity for students to gain metacognitive skills and boost their confidence...

...am tutoring to expand my skills and to help students to create their best future. I came from an educational upbringing; my mother was a teacher and my grandfather was a professor. I have picked up how to learn and how to teach others. I want to help bring up more students to be successful. I believe that every student is able to reach great heights. I just want to be a catalyst for students...

...students. I graduated from Saint Martin's University in 2012 with my degree in Political Science and minor in US History. While at SMU, I was able to participate in an internship with Jay Inslee and at the Washington State Legislature. I was also a college cheerleader and worked as part of the intramural program. After receiving my undergraduate degree, I attended the University of Southern California for a Master's in Arts in Teaching, focusing on...

...one. I understand the thrill of success, but also the despair and discouragement that comes with failure. I know how hard it can be to play the game of getting through school. I also know how to help my students make the most of it. I listen carefully to my students' concerns and tailor my approach to each individual. I respect my students' time and only ask that they do the same for me. If...

...enabled me to mentor a diverse range of people in a way that is both genuine and adaptable. My academic background is most immediately reflected in the life sciences and maths, but I am always thrilled to tutor students in the humanities, particularly essay writing, and social studies. I am excited and humbled by the opportunity to mentor others in a way that cultivates their sense of curiosity and deepens their understanding of our collective...

...address educational gaps in structuring papers and arguments to assisting them with articles that are up for publication through various undergraduate journals. I love to study and tutor the areas of history, literature, and any field that deploys the use of critical analysis. I have noticed that students generally prefer to learn through a holistic approach that works to address not only their comprehension, but also their interest. I’m a huge fan of a good...

...neurodiverse populations as a tutor and support. Through this work, I have learned the importance of compassion, patience, and flexibility when supporting individuals with different learning styles and abilities. These experiences have not only shaped me as a person but have also inspired me to advocate for accessibility and inclusivity in all aspects of life. I love to learn and, beyond that, I love to help young people find that same love for learning within...

...taken many courses in American and World History, Political Science, Governmental Studies, and all of these involved lots of writing. My time in graduate school sharpened my writing and critical analysis skills, which I find quite valuable. I also have experience with some Math courses, it just depends on the course. Outside of the classroom you will often find me playing or watching soccer, or traveling to some country whose language I don't know. As...

...believe in finding what works best for students. Most teachers do not have the opportunity to teach 100 different ways to 100 different students. However, when students have the opportunity to work one-to-one, I believe that they have a right to have their learning tailored to their personal style. When a student understands how they learn best, they can often translate these concepts into the subject areas that they are struggling in, instead of being...

...always enjoyed teaching. I started tutoring during my junior year of high school, finding that I had an aptitude for analogies that helped students learn the material. I tutor a large variety of subjects, including LSAT, SAT, and ACT. I also tutor various academic subjects, primarily in the fields of math and science. My favorite subject to tutor is Chemistry, followed closely by Physics. I feel that anyone can learn anything as long as it...

...and Information Sciences. I have worked with high school students on developing reading and writing skills for high school completion and college prep for more than 4 years. Many of the students I've worked with are learning English as their second (or third) language. My favorite subjects to tutor for are AP English and the SAT writing section. I also enjoy helping students prepare for the HSPE reading and writing exams. Outside of academia, I...
