Kathryn

College English Tutor • +31 Subjects

I am a graduate at Montclair State University currently studying to be a general education teacher and a teacher of students with disabilities. I believe that with proper supports all children can learn and can grow into their full potential. I also have three years of experience substituting and have previously worked at Huntington Learning Center.I studied Creative Writing at SUNY Purchase, which taught me to write, edit, and critique. Because of this, I love to tutor language arts and writing. My background in writing has taught me to be concise and clear, which helps me explain difficult material and break it down. I also know how to encourage reading, and I know that to make my students better writers, my students will need to be good readers as well.I'm also a great cross-stitcher, and I can solve a Rubik's cube in about two minutes. I love learning new puzzles and crafts.

I graduated from Florida International University with a bachelors degree in Political Science. Since then, I have worked on a few political campaigns including a congressional campaign, and Im happy to say that they were all victories. I have also worked at a law firm and for a local city government. Last year, I opened a clothing boutique and that has really provided me with the flexibility to do some of the things I really enjoy doing. Now, I am able to give back and help others achieve their goals.

Hi, I'm Leah! I am a teacher with five years of teaching experience in the lower elementary grades. I am passionate about teaching students and helping them to meet their learning goals.

Lissette

Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +21 Subjects

Hello! My name is Lissette Lawson, but I go as Teacher Liz. I'm from Brooklyn, NY. I wanted to learn Spanish and teach ESL, so I studied in Costa Rica and got a Bilingual Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education. I have been teaching on and off for the past 20+ years. I have taught people of all ages from Pre-school to Adults. I believe online is as good as traditional education. With the appropriate use of technology we can both, the teacher and student get a lot out of a multi-cultural environment. Learning languages, opens the door to a whole different world and as we follow the path of life's journey, educating ourselves, is a never-ending process. You can never learn enough. The topic of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is very important for me, coming from a multi-racial home. I also have a career in Film & TV Production and have played basketball my whole life. Come, join me in exploring the fascinating world of English/Spanish and see what's in store for you.

Princetane

Earth Science Tutor • +13 Subjects

I am a proud HBCU graduate of Florida Memorial University, where I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education K-6 ESOL. I have taught first, second, and third grade. My passion is teaching, being inside the classroom interacting with students, getting to know what their needs are. I advocate for all of my students, and encourage them to advocate for themselves as well. I am a firm believer that "all students a voice". It brings joy to my heart to know that I have made a difference in a young child's life, this is why I will never leave the classroom. I have experience in all core subjects, but my favorite is science. In my spare time, I like to travel the world with friends and family, watch the history channel, and sew.

Evan

College English Tutor • +17 Subjects

I am a graduate of Portland State University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Communication. Since graduating, I've lived in Guangzhou, China teaching English as a Second Language for a little over a year. I have a passion for art; in particular music. I've taught Music Theory and Guitar for many years, both privately and through the City of Portland at SWCC. I also love sports and have taught them in a number of different capacities. I have a great love of learning and a passion for teaching. I specialize in ESL for students who speak Mandarin and Spanish as their first language.I would describe my teaching philosophy as flexible and patient. I understand that each learner has a certain propensity to learn how they feel most comfortable; some are visual learners while others need to do hands-on activities. I try to tailor my lessons to the strengths of my students so that they feel comfortable. I always encourage the learner to ask questions and be an active student throughout the session. I believe that education is the backbone to a healthy life, community, and makes for a better world.In my spare time, I love to travel and write music. I play basketball every Sunday night and I love hiking and the outdoors. I love to make people laugh and I love it when people can make me laugh. I always try to make things as personal as possible. Most of all, I simply love teaching.
