Nur ...have been tutoring students for the past couple of years. I majored in English literature and minored in French, so humanities subjects (including reading and writing for test prep) are especially fun for me. (Though I am very comfortable teaching math as well). I spent my junior year abroad: first in Montpellier, France, studying French literature and art history, then at the University of Cambridge, studying Shakespeare! I love to travel, and hope to do...

Katherine ...Academy. As a writing tutor, I strive to create a comfortable and stress-free environment in which a student can explore and develop their topic.

Robbie I struggled with education in my early years. After learning different methods, approaches, and understandings, I excelled in the classroom. My theory is that everyone can understand the "problem"; it's just a matter of visualizing the solution. I enjoy working with learning disorders and challenges. I look forward to meeting you and your student.

My colleagues constantly wondered at my ability to ace pop quizzes and finals alike. -- they all wondered how I could get consistent high marks without staying up all night studying.

Jordana ...and that there is no limit to what can be achieved with strong communication skills. My teaching philosophy is that any student can learn and that education does not have to be boring! Teaching requires discovering the student's strengths and passions and tailoring creative educational approaches that connect with the student's interests.

Clay ...a tutor is not to teach someone how to solve a problem or pass a test, but to teach the essential knowledge needed to succeed in a course beyond the raw grade. I believe that through a holistic assessment of a subject, it will be easier for someone to learn how to accomplish tasks related to that subject in the future. I hope to get students to a point where they are self-sustaining.

Patrick ...to teach as there is often a perception that it's a boring or tedious subject.

In my free time I really love playing volleyball, going to the beach, watching movies, and traveling...
