I'm a sophomore at Vanderbilt working toward a major in neuroscience with minors in chemistry and psychology. I was born and raised in Nashville, so middle Tennessee is definitely home for me. My main area of focus for tutoring is ACT Prep; however, Im proficient in many maths and sciences as well as grammar mechanics. In high school I took many ACT Prep classes and tutors. Because of my familiarity with the test, I have high confidence in my ability to drastically elevate my student's ACT scores.Outside of academia I enjoy to play tennis (Brentwood High Tennis) and exercise in general, typically weightlifting. I can draw almost every character of Spongebob and wish I could tutor specifically in that. I have a passion for science and practically all branches of STEM fields, especially neuroscience and biology. As clich as it is, and as clich as saying "as clich as it is...", education is power and can transform every aspect of one's world. For that reason, I would love the opportunity to help catalyze your learning.

I am a senior at the University of Oklahoma currently applying to medical school for entrance into the fall class of 2017! Because I am only four classes away from earning my Bachelor's of Science in Biology at OU, I will only be taking two classes this fall, and finishing up with two classes in the spring. This gives me a lot of extra time time to tutor in academic areas that I enjoy! I also have extensive childcare experience and love tutoring elementary age students, as well.

I recently graduated from Vanderbilt University with a degree in Education Studies and English. While at Vanderbilt, I learned the best practices for developing literacy in secondary education students. At school, we examined the problems with deficit learning, a type of teaching all too common in schools today. Deficit learning focuses on what a student doesn't know, what (s)he isn't able to do. This kind of instruction can be overwhelming for some students. That's why I've dedicated myself as a tutor to reversing this trend, and encouraging students to recognize the skills they already have, and use them to solve new, bigger problems. I've worked with students as young as five years old, all the way to graduate students working on their post-doc's. I always bring a positive energy to tutoring sessions, and I try to inspire a real love of learning in all my students. In my spare time I enjoy live theatre, and I've even been known to get on stage myself from time to time.

Our children are our future and we must invest in their knowledge. I love to learn and teach. I am currently employed as a substitute teacher and I am pursuing my graduate degree in Library Science at Eastern Carolina University.

Hi everyone! My name is Mia Tammaro and I am currently an undergraduate student studying Adolescent Education at St. John's University with a concentration in English. I also have a Spanish minor and have been taking it throughout my entire high school and college career. If you need any help with essay writing or understanding textual material I'm your girl!

I believe that every student is capable of succeeding and am willing to create individualized learning plans to help the student achieve their goals. My sense of humor and easygoing attitude makes learning enjoyable and rewarding.

Hi my name is Benjamin! I am a life coach, motivational speaker and entrepreneur. MY Journey was a challenging one in school, and I remember feeling different and sometimes not as smart as others despite knowing that I was, but things weren't panning out that way. I went from getting c's and d's to straight A's eventually when I really learned how to go about it through receiving additional support myself in tutoring! Hope you are feeling healthy in this time and look forward the opportunity to support you in your educational journey!

Hi everyone! I am currently working as a Mechanical Engineer at Johnson and Johnson. I have always had a passion for math and science and truly enjoy teaching others. I take pride in finding creative ways of simplifying concepts while simultaneously engaging my learners. As cliche as it may sound, I am true believer in the motto "Learning can be fun!". I look forward to working with you soon!

I am a motivated and enthusiastic tutor with over 20 years of experience in tutoring students of all different ages. I have served as everything from a full-time classroom teacher, to a small group mentor, to a one-on-one tutor. I have mentored virtually every age learner, from Pre-K to adult, and have experience with everything from home-education to private and parochial schools to public school education.When I'm not teaching, tutoring, or mothering my own 7 children, I enjoy a variety of activities. I love being outdoors in general, but my passion is for rock climbing. I also enjoy reading all kinds of literature and philosophy and cheering my kids on in their myriad sports and activities.My number one priority in teaching is to empower my students to understand how they learn best and what motivates them. I want my students to feel a passion for learning, even if they do not feel it for every subject. I have been told that I bring energy, enthusiasm, and creativity to the learning environment, and that these qualities are contagious. I hope to pass this enthusiasm for learning on to my students and that my students will, in turn, pass it on to those around them.

I am a graduate of Clark Atlanta University. I received a Master of Arts degree in Counselor Education with a focus in Community and Mental Health Counseling. I received a Bachelor of Science degree from Georgia State University in Middle Grades Education. I am a certified teacher in Language Arts, as well as Reading. I taught 6th and 7th graders English Language Arts over the course of three years.My specialty is writing; I am currently composing three books. I pride myself in finding relatable and engaging techniques to meet the needs of any age group. As a teacher, I collaborated with my resistant and challenged writers to make writing enjoyable and not unbearable. I am always overjoyed when my students that would only write a few sentences in the beginning of the school year can produce five-paragraph essays towards the middle of the school term. In between summers, I have tutored students on ACT and SAT preparation with emphasis on the Reading and Writing components. Nervous and anxious test takers leave my tutoring sessions feeling like victors! I am excited to working with your child in preparing them for either academic or test prep victories.
